About this property
My Blue Heaven Cabin. Little Buffalo River access. A stargazer's delight!
My Blue Heaven is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, secluded log cabin on 125 acres with frontage on the Little Buffalo River in the heart of the Ozark Mountains. Our cabin is spacious and well-equipped to comfortably sleep up to 11 guests, yet it's cozy enough for a couple. The hot tub on the deck is a great place for star gazing. We are a certified Dark Sky property with excellent views of the night sky. There is a private swimming hole in the Little Buffalo River, a short distance forth cabin, and 2 miles of mowed trails for hiking and golf cart use . The 2-acre landscaped yard includes a fire pit for enjoying cool, starry nights while cooking s'mores. Located in Buffalo National River Country in Newton County, AR. near Jasper.
The cabin has a spacious great room with a beautiful view and unique lodge style furniture. The full -size kitchen (remodeled in 2023) with granite counters, dishwasher and all the cookware, and utensils you need to create a gourmet meal. Designed with the cook in mind.
There are three large bedrooms, a sunroom with private sleeping quarters, and 2 full bathrooms. The master bedroom has a king size bed and private bath with a walk-in shower, clawfoot tub and double vanity. Bedroom #2 has 2 queen beds and bedroom 3# has 2 extra long twin beds. The guest bath has a tub and shower. The sunroom is a private area with a full sized futon and a twin day bed. A portable crib is available as well as a high chair.
The large wrap around deck offers ample seating, a gas grill (gas provided), picnic table, hot tub and a spectacular 180 degree view of the Ozark Mountains.
We have a 2-car log garage with a ping pong table and play space and a 14-40 240v EV charger. An electric golf cart is provided for guest use.
We have wifi, satellite TV, iPhone music dock, ROKU, central heat and A/C plus a soapstone stove with a window to view the fire. Firewood provided. We provide local maps and guide books as well as a notebook with local information.
We tried to think of everything you'll need and guests often comment that we are the best- equipped cabin they have stayed in.
The base rate applies to the first two guests. The rate for each additional guest is $20 per night plus tax. Maximum capacity is 11 guests at the cabin.
We have a Guest House on the property 100 yds away that is only rented with the cabin and sleeps up to 4 more. It has a queen bed and a full size futon. Perfect for larger groups or when folks want to spread out for more privacy. Please ask about our guest house for an additional $100 a night.
Please leave your pets at home.
The cabin is on 125 acres and we furnish a golf cart to explore the mowed trails. Guests have access to our private swimming hole on the Little Buffalo River and nearly a mile of river frontage to fish and explore.
There is a 2 acre landscaped yard with a water garden, campfire pit, hammock, yard games, and a hidden playhouse for the kids.
We ask guests to contact us at arrival and departure. We live 5 minutes away but you won't see us unless you need us. However, for week long stays, we will check the hot tub, refill the bird feeders and pick up your trash mid -week. We will not need access to the interior of the cabin unless you have a problem. We respect the privacy of our guests.
Our neighborhood is scenic and rural in a mostly forested area and has a low population.
No public transportation
We have a 2 night minimum stay and 3 nights on major holidays. Kids under age 6 stay free . We have a no-pets policy.
Because we only have one cabin and guest house on the property you have complete seclusion and privacy.
Newton County is over 50% National Forest or Buffalo National River so opportunities for outdoor adventure abound. Guide books for trails and wildlife are provided. Upper Buffalo River canoe access points are as close as 20-30 minutes away.
Eureka Springs, AR. and Branson, MO. are each a scenic 1 1/2 hours drive away.
The base rate applies to the first two guests. The rate for each additional guest is $20 per night plus tax. Maximum capacity is 11 guests or 15 with the Guest House. All you need to bring are your groceries and personal items and you're all set.
2 night minimum stay and 3 nights on major holidays. Outside smoking only, no discharge of fire arms or fireworks, no use of ATV's on the property please. Electric golf cart provided for adult use on property.

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.
