We took our grandkids for a long weekend of hiking and playing in the river. This cabin was wonderful and everyone had a blast. The host is very responsive and everything was perfect. We will be back!!

We had an excellent time! The property and cabin were beautiful! You won’t regret staying there!
Dark Jeep Trip Hi baby, after motion, I’m talking about because he has pneumonia all the way his sto
This was the perfect cabin for our (2) family Jeep trip to the Ozarks. The cabin was very clean, well laid out, and well decorated. We will be staying again!
This cabin was a great size for our family (4 adults + 3 children) and we were completely isolated in the woods near the Buffalo and numerous hiking trails. We spent one day exploring some of the many waterfalls in the area and of course hiked to Hawksbill Crag for sunrise. The cabin was clean and had all the amenities we needed for the weekend.
Had a little trouble locating the property. Getting in and out in the Honda Civic was a bit of a challenge. Once we did locate we all enjoyed the space.
This was a family trip, in order to see the older sister who lives local! It was wonderful to be able to have a family setting for our visit. The cabin and fire pit was perfect for reflection of days gone by! We wish we would of stayed 1 more night!
Beautiful cabin surrounded by nature. We loved that it was tucked back in and not directly off of the highway. It was the perfect spot for our family to use as a home base for our trip!
We absolutely loved staying here and it was truly quiet and you felt alone in the woods. Many places in the area are exposed to road noise, traffic, and close neighbors but this cabin is the perfect getaway from all of that while still being close to all the Buffalo river has to offer. You can really tell Dianne cares about her property and guests as the house was fully stocked with everything you could need for the weekend (chairs, lighters, grill, olive oil, pots, pans, and more!).
We will definitely be back!
We have been lodging at the Buffalo for the past 20 years. I am rating this cabin as EXCELLENT. It was very quite. I know a lot of the cabins sit on the highway and this sits down off the highway Location is excellent to hike the Ponca/Boxley/Compton area. It is clean, new, and has all the amenities you need. Nice to have access to a washing machine and dryer as well as stocked with plenty of paper products fire wood for the fire pit etc that you typically have to bring along! This would be my top choice for a recommendation on the Buffalo to hike or float or hang out!
Great Cabin, secluded located, lots of room to spread out. Close to lots of great hiking and floating of course. Would recommend an all wheel drive vehicle for the driveway, pretty steep for the mama bear cabin
Cabin was perfect for our two families for thanksgiving! Well stocked inside and out!! Friendly and quick communication response on needs. Very accurate house description…we were even more impressed once seeing in person. Convenient access to all the trails, towns, and and activities in area we needed. Will definitely return!!
The cabin was absolutely awesome. We had everything we needed and would love to make it an annual trip

Great cabin
We stayed at the Mama Bear cabin for a week while visiting family in Harrison Arkansas. The cabin is just as described in the listing and was very nice. It was well stocked with everyday items. A few things should be noted about the driveway. We rented a minivan for the week and would NOT recommend this if planning to stay here. It is very steep and has loose rocks. Four wheel drive is necessary if it has rained at all. The only other negative thing is we lost power the morning we were leaving. This is of course not any body’s fault but having some emergency flash lights would have been nice since it was pitch black and we were trying to pack up and clean. Overall we had a great stay here and would recommend it to a friend!!
We were very happy with this wonderful log cabin. The wrap around porch was enjoyed everyday while we enjoyed our morning coffee. I would love to come back to for another week in the future.
The cabin was fantastic, awesome design and build quality, we definitely hope to come back in the future. Well furnished, everything we needed, plenty of space for 5 of us.
As other reviews have noted, the driveway is steep, but our Honda Odyssey minivan made it out during a heavy rain without much trouble. It added to the adventure, definitely not a deal breaker.
Thanks for everything!

About the host
Hosted by Jennifer Millikan
Upon retirement, my husband and I moved from Texas to this secluded 40-acre mountain property just 4 miles above the Buffalo River recreation area. We've recently constructed two new cedar log cabins in private areas of the property for visitors to the area to enjoy. We've taken great care to construct and furnish top-notch cabins with modern amenities yet still preserving a true cabin experience.
Why they chose this property
Our cabins provide some of the most convenient access in the area to the main Buffalo River activities. The Mama Bear Cabin is particularly suitable for guests who want complete privacy - you won't see anything but forrest in all directions!
