Baca Cabin is a three-bedroom, two bath, 1500 sqft split level cabin on 10 acres. One of the perks of this cabin is peace and quiet as it is located at the end of a dead-end road. The front door opens into a cozy living room with a reclining love seat, reclining couch, and one recliner centered around the gas fireplace with smart TV.

Enjoy your family while you prepare meals with no walls to separate the kitchen and living room. You will find a fully stocked kitchen, just bring the food. Prepare for the day’s events or reflect on the day gathered around a large dining room table with seating for 8.

Two bedrooms are located on the lower floor. One has a king bed, nightstands, and a dresser. The other bedroom is arranged with a twin-size bunk bed and trundle (third twin-bed), and a separate queen bed. Closets are located in both rooms.

The lower floor bathroom is a full bath with hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, and body soap provided.

Moving up stairs you will find the master bedroom with a King bed, dressers, nightstands, Smart TV, and a private full bathroom. Enjoy your mornings sipping coffee in a rocking chair on the master bedroom’s private deck.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Baca Cabin. Chris was an amazing host. He provided better directions for us to avoid a longer gravel ride (by miles), and everything in the VRBO was absolutely perfect. We sincerely appreciated that it was suitable for our 4-month-old puppy. We enjoyed sitting on the deck in the mornings watching the sun rise, taking walks on the trails, and using the great Wi-Fi to stay in touch with family visiting Harrison with us for my mother's memorial service. Being able to grieve and reflect on the 2nd-story deck will forever stick in my memory. I hope we can stay again.

This was a fantastic find. Well stocked kitchen for nice meals. The bedding and linens were wonderful. Nice and secluded. We loved the short trails around the house. It has been really raining here so there stream at the end of one of the trails was moving. It was beautiful. Perfect for our anniversary weekend.

Very cozy and spacious cabin! Loved how secluded the property was and really enjoyed the small trails on the property. Was great for introducing young kids to hiking, while staying close to the cabin. The kitchen was well stocked and made it easy for us to plan meals and enjoy time together, instead of driving out of the way to go to a restaurant.

Baca Cabin getaway

The central location worked great for us and our traveling family members. The cabin is nice and updated. It is very remote and guests should be prepared for that and the rural road conditions. WiFi is a bit sketchy at times but we managed. If you’re looking for a remote beautiful location to get away from it all that also accommodates a large group, this VRBO is for you. We had a great time.

Perfectly sized, cabin for our family of 7. Features we enjoyed were the lit back deck, top deck, grill, fire pit. Kitchen was well stocked. Remote location with little cell coverage and slow Internet access. (But isn't that kinda the point for a cabins like this?)

Secluded and Peaceful!

If you’re looking for a secluded cabin to enjoy morning walks on the trails and smores around the fire pit at night, this is it! The location is convenient for day trips to Branson and Eureka Springs. Grocery/dining is close by in Harrison and we enjoyed horseback riding at Rocking Z Ranch. The cabin was well stocked with necessities and special sweet treats. The Hosts are wonderful and our stay at the cabin was just what we hoped for!

Nice clean spatious cabin in a secluded area.

I would recommend staying here. We enjoyed sitting on the deck at night looking at the stars and listening to the whip poor wills. We swimmed at the Buffalo, it was too low to float at the time. You have to walk the mini trails around the cabin they were well worth it.

Perfect getaway

I’ve stayed in many VRBO properties, but I don’t think I’ve stayed in one more thought out or well done. Everything possible is thought of here and the property manager was fantastic to work with. The property is off the beaten path and you may need a four wheel drive at certain times, but the seclusion is worth those things. Highly, highly recommend.

Wonderful Stay!

We had a great time at the Baca Cabin! My wife and I were needing some peace and quiet and to rest a while. This beautiful cabin and property provided a great place for this! Played board games on the wrap around deck, grilled, sat by the campfire, and best of all just sat and talked while sitting in the awesome rocking chairs. Chris and Vanessa had taken care of all details to make our stay hassle free! If you’re needing a getaway, book this place! You won’t regret it!

One of the best VRBO places we have ever stayed. We went there to celebrate our anniversary, so comfort and relaxation was one of the biggest things we were looking for. The reclining furniture in the living room is great for relaxing and watching TV, the kitchen had everything we needed to make meals, complete with wine glasses, we enjoyed a fire around the fire pit each night, and the cabin is close enough to lots of fun adventures. It rained one night while we were there which created a beautiful flowing stream and waterfall at the creek on the property, the hike to the bluff was a gorgeous view, we hiked at Lost valley which is only about 30 minutes away and saw several beautiful waterfalls there, and the Rockin' Z Ranch was such a fun place riding horses on trail rides that we actually went there twice and got to see another waterfall there because of the rain. We only used the master bedroom but the bed was very comfortable, we loved having the big screen TV up there with Roku, But the best thing was having a balcony right off our bedroom with beautiful views in the morning as we sat in the rocking chairs with a cup of coffee. The rocking chair on the front porch was also a nice place to sit in the evening, and the propane grill was great as we were able to grill steaks. The owners thought of everything for convenience... Throw blankets on the couch, lanterns to see your way to the fire pit, plenty of firewood, walking sticks, and even wonderful books to read. LOVED!!!

The perfect stay

Baca Cabin is the greatest cabin I have stayed at . The outside of the cabin is beautiful, but the inside is even more beautiful the large kitchen and the master bedroom.was a big WOW for me. I loved that the kitchen was equipped with everything that you would need for your stay. the master bedroom had a door where you could walk out into a balcony sit down, relax and enjoy the view .. My family and I stayed there for five days and we enjoyed every minute of it specially at night we would go out and light up a fire roast marshmallows, and just enjoy looking up at the stars and listening to the sounds of the night critters. I Highly recommend Baca Cabin you will love it! 😊 Thank you, Chris and Vanessa.

About the host

Hosted by Chris Newboles

Host profile image

We’re Chris and Vanessa Newboles, and family is at the heart of everything we do. We’ve been blessed with two beautiful daughters, Alyvia and Alyssa, and two of the best Basset Hounds, Mister and Duke.

We’ve always enjoyed the simple things, camping, spending time on the water, being outdoors, and making memories together as a family. We truly believe some of the best moments in life happen when we slow down, step away from the busyness, and take time to enjoy the beauty God has created around us.

That love for family, the outdoors, and God’s creation is a big part of why we created Newboles Properties. Our hope is that each of our cabins feels like more than just a place to stay. We want them to be places where families can reconnect, couples can slow down, kids can explore, and guests can make memories they’ll carry with them long after they leave.

We’re thankful for every guest who chooses to stay with us, and we consider it a blessing to share these special places with others.
Jeremiah 17:7


Welcome to Newboles Properties, "Baca Cabin". We hope you feel at home here.

Why they chose this property

We chose Baca Cabin because it offers something that is hard to find — true Ozark seclusion with space to relax, explore, and enjoy God’s creation. The cabin sits on 10 private wooded acres at the end of a dead-end road, giving guests a peaceful place to unplug while still being close to the Buffalo River, Ponca, Compton, and some of the best hiking and outdoor adventures in Arkansas.

What makes this property unique

Baca Cabin offers true privacy on 10 wooded acres with no visible neighbors from the cabin. Guests enjoy a peaceful rural setting, large decks, a firepit, Starlink WiFi, comfortable sleeping arrangements, and near the Buffalo National River area. Pet Friendly! We’re happy to welcome dogs! All pets must be disclosed and added to the reservation before arrival. Guests are responsible for following our pet rules, including keeping dogs leashed outdoors, cleaning up after them, keeping them off furniture and beds, and kenneling them if left unattended in the cabin. 🐶🐾
It is a great place for families, couples, hikers, floaters, and anyone looking to slow down and enjoy the Ozarks.
