The cabin and property are beautiful and it’s all yours. Had fun exploring the many trails and relaxing by the swimming hole at the river. Grilling out, dipping in the hot tub and stargazing was a perfect end to the day. Wonderful stay.
Perfect location for relaxing & reconnecting with nature. Close to hiking & only 1.5 hrs from Branson & Eureka Springs. Truly enjoyed enjoyed was fully stocked
Loved this secluded property. My children had a fabulous time watching bunnies, deer, raccoons & hummingbirds. Comfy beds and everything we needed to cook and relax.

I'm glad your family enjoyed the cabin. It sounds like you made some good memories while you were there. Thank you for being such considerate guests and we hope you'll return in the future.
Best regards,

This was our 2nd time staying at My Blue Heaven. The cabin was clean, spacious and had everything we needed for our relaxing week. We enjoyed walking in the river, looking at the stars from the hot tub and evening golf cart rides through the woods. We’re looking forward to another stay!
Two nights were not long enough to take full advantage of this amazing property! Our party of four adults and two children had plenty of room! The property trails, golf cart, comfy beds, hot tub, and well stocked cabin were all excellent! We saw so many birds, a deer, and a turkey in the mornings. And, we loved canoeing the Buffalo River as well as playing in the Little Buffalo. We will be back!!
Our family enjoyed our stay at My Blue Heaven! We had everything we needed for a relaxing few days! Susan and Gordon have a beautiful piece of property to share! We hope to return in the future!
My wife wanted a "getaway" Christmas, tbis above and beyond what she was hoping for! The location, the amenities and the cabin itself made it for the perfect Christmas present!
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving getaway. Highly recommend. Kitchen had everything we needed to prepare a full Thanksgiving feast. Kids were always occupied with all the options they offer and loved the golf cart. Everything was clean. We hope to be back.
This was our second visit and it won’t be the last! The house is well equipped, clean, and comfortable. The property is fantastic! We hiked a different National Forest trail each morning and played in the river on property every afternoon.
Very nice and scenic cabin. Would be nice if there was a map of the property to show all the trails available. Everything is included in the kitchen and cabin for a great stay. Make sure you bring anything extra you may need cause it's a long curvey road to nearest town.

Thank you all for leaving everything in such good shape.
I'm sorry you missed seeing the 2 large framed maps that hang on the wall in the great room. They include all the trails and boundaries of our 126 acre property.

The cabin and property are both gorgeous. The owners provide everything you could want in order to have a comfortable stay. We were able to bring our own food and cook a lovely meal with every pan and tool we could need available in the kitchen.
The view is breathtaking from the back yard. The living room windows look out into the back yard as well, which makes waking up and having a cup of coffee with the misty Ozarks a sight to behold.
They also provided plenty of fire wood, which made for a lovely night of sitting around the fire pit and observing the darkest, clearest night I've ever witnessed. The milky way was visible and more stars than you could imagine.
Branson is relatively close, but we never went farther than Harrison, which has wonderful dining options and anything else you could need if you forgot anything.
The small town of Jasper is absolutely adorable. The people are so friendly, and it feels like you're in a hallmark movie.
We will absolutely be booking again.
Beautiful, peaceful property! We went in with high expectations and they were exceeded. If you like being away from the hustle and bustle of the world, this is the place for you.

About the host
Hosted by Susan and Gordon Watkins
We live 1/2 mile from the cabin across the river so you have complete privacy. We have lived in this area for over 40 years and raised 2 sons here. We were Farm Family of the Year in 1987. Through the years we have raised organic blueberries, strawberries, vegetables, cattle and chickens. We are semi-retired but have varied interests that keep us busy including involvement in organizations that help protect the Buffalo National River.
Why they chose this property
This property is unique in that we have one cabin and a guest house on 125 acres with river frontage on the Little Buffalo River. It's the largest tributary of the Buffalo National River. The crown jewel of Arkansas the Buffalo National River was our nation's first National River. The cabin has a spectacular 180 degree view of the Ozark Mountains. This land is a mix of woodlands and meadows and has 2 miles of mowed private trail. The trails are suitable for hiking or we have a golf cart for your use to explore the property. Our rural setting is great for nature lovers and folk who want to get away and relax. Opportunities abound for outdoor recreation. There is a fire pit in the yard with the wood furnished. We provide the unique property and you make the memories.
What makes this property unique
The cabin is large enough for family gatherings yet cozy enough for a couple. The spring-fed swimming hole is just a short walk down a mowed path. The cabin is secluded and private yet easily accessible. The view of the Little Buffalo River Valley and the Ozark Mountains is stunning. We provide local guide books, maps and information about the area. Most of the photos and prints displayed are from local artists. Our 2 acre yard with yard games and playhouse make the cabin great for kids. For larger groups our nearby guest house will sleep up to 4 additional guests for $100 a night.
