Perfect spot

This place is a gem! Perfectly placed and well kept inside and out. Plenty of space, plenty of dishes, comfy beds and living room furniture! Great water pressure for your shower and the place held temp perfectly. They have an awesome binder with menus and suggestions. Just a couple minutes from family friendly areas on the river and good food! Becky was very easy to deal with and gave great recommendations!

Comfortable furniture.

I picked this rental because the living room furniture looked comfortable, and it was. We came up to hike trails around the Buffalo River. The location on the road to Gilbert was great, the house was very clean, the kitchen was stocked with coffee, and the beds were good. Perfect cabin for us!

Family Float Trip

The property was amazing! There was plenty of room for my family of 5 grown kids. Having a washer and dryer along with two full bathrooms was great. The house was stocked with everything we needed and location to Gilbert was a very short drive. Will definitely book again!

Fantastic weekend for Dad and Sons

Fantastic stay at an awesome cabin. It’s either newly built or 100% redone. Clean, modern and well appointed in a great location. We were just around the corner from the floating outfitters, great breakfast at Ferguson’s and dinners at Big Spring and Crawbillys were excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely stay here again when we come back

Great location

The place was clean and worked great for our trip. It’s close to Gilbert and a few restaurants and river outfitters. Be aware there isn’t Wi-Fi in the cabin, it’s not listed as having it. I just didn’t check, assumed it would be there, so if you must have it, maybe look elsewhere.

Amazing!

This was such a beautiful place. Becky was a pleasure to deal with throughout the entire process and made everything so easy for us! This was a road trip with my friend. It was perfect with a bedroom and bathroom for each of us. It offers peace and quiet but we still felt we were close to everything we needed. Would definitely book here again!!! Beautiful. Thanks!
