We stayed for six nights in early October. The cabin was very clean and very inviting. We did not need to contact the host while we were there (nothing was needed). However, I did contact them before our visit with a couple of questions, and the response was very fast. The views were amazing! We just loved sitting on the porch and taking it all in. The kitchen was well equipped with everything that we needed. The cabin was our "base camp", while we visited Branson, MO, Eureka Springs, and other places which were about an hour away. Scenicic Hwy 7 is awesome. Jasper has pizza, Ozark Cafe, Peggy Sue's Coffeshop, a Buffalo store, and Harps grocery store...basically everything we would need! We visited THREE caves, which were awesome! We were a little disappointed when the Buffalo River had no water. We were going to float, and there are several river access points right off Hwy 7, so we got to visit them. We will definitely use this cabin again. All was wonderful! Highly recommended.
