Our stay here was amazing. The location is quiet, but close to everything you need. The cabin is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need for cooking, cleaning up, and staying warm and cozy! The outside is set up perfectly for a fire on the back porch or star gazing in the front lawn. Communication was wonderful, and overall it was perfect. This will definitely be our go to when we are in town!

Perfect stay!

Our family stayed here a couple nights so we could float the Buffalo River. Our stay was perfect. This cabin is incredible. The decor is modern yet cozy. There is a chalkboard wall to mark your stay too that is fun. The outdoor areas are great. We used the black stone to cook one night and we did s’mores also. The host was also great with any questions or requests I had.

Beautiful cabin

We loved the cabin. Not far from hiking trails or the buffalo river. There was a grocery store close by too. The cabin was decorated so nice. We were able to cook and enjoy the mountain air.

Absolutely quiet. Cannot express how much we enjoyed our stay! The cabin itself was fully prepped for us to make our own meals. We really appreciated how it was built and how "at home" it made us feel.

Amazing place

It was an amazing stay very clean and tidy only issue was the flue for the fire place I believe need to be cleaned it didn’t pull the smoke out of the fire place. Other than that no problems at all we loved it

Short hiking trip

This was such a cute and quaint/cozy cabin; just perfect for the 3 adults in our group! It was thunderstorming as we arrived and very easy to get in quickly, easy to park and unload closer to the back door. Had everything we needed to cook. Plenty of warm water for all of our showers and extremely comfy beds! Wish we had more time there!! Thank you!

Cute and comfortable!

We had a great stay! Very cute and comfortable cabin with awesome architectural details. Very well equipped with everything needed during our stay. Great location just out of town enough for peace and privacy, but very close and convenient to local attractions and hikes. Outside space was beautiful and the fire pit was perfect for s'mores. Excellent communication and service from this host. Thanks for a great place to stay!

Nice Cabin and Host

No complaints really. Only suggestion, would be nice to provide a quick reference map of area sites or attractions and maybe a list of restaurants or places to get groceries/food. There is a Harps a short distance away in Jasper. Overall, we liked it, would go again…

Great location for a Buffalo River getaway!

We booked the Arkansan for a 3 day getaway to do some hiking in the region. The cabin was nice and cozy with a touch of rusticness we found charming. Very spacious overall, and it was stocked with all the cookware and consumables we needed. The owner/manager was easy to communicate with, and replies were always prompt. Great location just a couple miles from town, and overall we had a most enjoyable stay there. We heartily recommend the Arkansan to others, and will be staying here again in the future!

Quaint little hideaway

It is A little cabin very close to Jasper. There is another cabin next to it but you have your own space and the stone work outside with the fireplace is A nice setting. It is very kid friendly, but it does have stairs. It was A very relaxing trip. back in time.

Perfect resting place after a day on the river.

Easy to find. Secluded, yet right off the main road Cabin was better than the pics online. Exceptionally clean, quiet and cool. Beds were comfy with the softest linens and perfect pillows. All of the appliances were new and the kitchen was fresh and inviting. My best friend and I stayed here after a long hot day on the river and both said it was the best part of our trip. I told my husband I want to take him back to see it and stay again!

Girls Trip

I along with 3 friends stayed here for the weekend. It was a nice location and a very comfy property. The only surprise was there is another cabin in the same driveway. So if you were going to be outside a lot you may have close neighbors. It wasn't a problem for us but just something to note. We enjoyed our stay and the location of the cabin. Would definitely stay here again.

This was exactly what I was looking for! Not too gar from downtown, but still with the "cabin away from everything" feeling. There were a decent amount of camel crickets and spiders inside upon checking in (mostly in the bathroom and bottom floor bedroom) which took me a little while to capture and put outside, but otherwise everything was ship shape. Thank you kindly for a relaxing and hassle-free stay!
