About this property

Big Oak Cabin - mountaintop home near Jasper

Big Oak Cabin is a split-level, 2 bedroom, 2 bath house, with 2 separate living rooms. Situated on 5 acres high in the Ozarks, the house is much larger than it looks from the picture, with a large front porch and west-facing rear deck overlooking a pond and splendid sunsets. Only a few miles from the Buffalo River and numerous hiking trails to overlooks and waterfalls, half a mile from Cliff House Restaurant and five miles south of the quaint town of Jasper. Conveniently located on Hwy 7, Big Oak is a place of quiet Ozark peace.

One of the best features of staying at our place is, we owners are very well-informed about the area and have served as guides to many trails. We know the region extremely well and are happy to give you all the detailed information you need to find any sort of trail or attraction.

I felt like I was home. Beautiful place to stay . It had everything you could ever need . Very clean , beautiful place to stay and rest and get closer to God . I would of love to stay longer. But, I had to go back to Branson Mo. Job calling me to leave. So if anyone needs a place to go and rest and get some peace and quiet time, Big Oak Cabin is the best place to stay. . Loved it . Thanks , Derwin from Branson Mo.

Nice hiking trails close by. The house was about five miles out of town so not too far if you need food or gas. The house is very well stocked with everything you need. We would like to visit this area again because there’s so much to see and would love to stay in this house again.

This is a nice rural property with lots of space inside and outside. We enjoyed all the nature sounds outside. The one drawback to the location was the traffic noise- it is located right by the highway.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Big Oak cabin! It is at an ideal location within 5 minutes of two beautiful view points of the Arkansas Grand Canyon, and 10 minutes from the quaint town of Jasper! This home is ideal for anyone from a couple's gettaway to a family of 6 or 7. The split layout (Master bed and kitchen downstairs, open living room and kids bed room upstairs) is perfect for a family vacation in the Ozarks. The home is definitely older (propane heating and rustic 60-70s era panneling), but an overall wonderful place to stay during your mountain retreat. We really enjoyed the spacious second floor and outdoor balcony at the back of the cabin.

About the host

Hosted by Dennis & Naomi Gundersen

Host profile image
We're Dennis & Naomi, seasoned hikers and lovers of the Ozarks. Our business is publishing children's books reprinted from the 1800s. We stay here at Big Oak Cabin as frequently as we can, often 6 to 8 times each year. The Ozarks are abundant in trails that are easily hiked by almost anyone, while also having very challenging options. We're glad to help you find the right outdoors adventure for you and those traveling with you!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Big Oak Cabin back when it was only a private residence, and bought it to enjoy it for our own trips, as well as to share with others. Its immense trees, including "Big Oak" himself (the 350 year old tree out front) give the property an amazing character. We've never found anywhere so relaxing.
