About this property
Awesome Home at Sky Hawk Ridge, a 185-Acre Refuge, ONE MILE to Buffalo River
ESCAPE THE CROWDS to the Great Outdoors!
Sky Hawk Ridge is place of extraordinary beauty, a 185-acre natural refuge at the gateway to Buffalo River National Park. This stunning vacation home is only five years old and sparkling clean! Farmhouse Style on the outside, bright and open inside. The cabin is nestled in the forest and affords a lovely view of a wooded hollow and distant mountain peaks beyond. The expansive, private-park setting at Sky Hawk is shared with just three other cabins.
THE LAND
When you stay at Sky Hawk Ridge, you won't stay inside for long. Roam the land and discover the wonders of this beautiful landscape. Enjoy misty morning walks through dew-covered fields. Watch golden sunsets over Ozark Mountains. When you walk along Sky Hawk's long ridge, you see up the Buffalo River Valley to layered green hillsides and distant blue ridge lines. You see rolling meadows with sentinel oaks, cattle grazing in lush pastures, deep green woods -- nature's beauty at every turn.
Explore miles of private trails that wind through dense forests and beside crystal streams. Wildlife is everywhere -- deer, turkey, fox, owls, songbirds, and all sorts of woodland creatures. Be dazzled by spring flowers, blue summer skies, rich fall colors, or foggy winter mornings. Sky Hawk Ridge is a nature-lover's paradise all year long.
LOCATION
Sky Hawk is just off US 65 on the north side of the Buffalo River. Restaurants, canoe rentals and river access points at Grinders Ferry, Gilbert and Tyler Bend are less than ten minutes away, but at Sky Hawk you’re secluded and surrounded by natural beauty -- away from it all.
The entrance is on the Gilbert Road (Hwy. 333), just 0.4 mile east of US 65. Two-tenths mile from the entry, across from an open meadow, a driveway leads down through the woods to a metal-roofed cabin with cedar siding, naturally weathered to blend with the surrounding landscape.
Sky Hawk Ridge has 3/4 mile of park frontage, and the Buffalo River Trail is just steps from the property corner. The park trail leads about a mile down to a long, wide gravel bar at Shine Eye Bluff -- the perfect spot to picnic, swim, fish or enjoy a lazy afternoon. (Shine Eye is also accessible by road, a five-minute drive.)
ACCOMMODATIONS
Completed in October 2018, this comfortable home has plenty of room for your family or three couples. Stunning architecture and tasteful furnishings make the house memorable in its own right. High ceilings and large windows in every room let you see forest and sky all around. The interior is sunny and uplifting, like the great outdoors. There’s a two-story living room with a towering slate fireplace, a full-size dining room, two private bedrooms, and two spacious bathrooms with walk-in glass showers. In the sunny, tree-top loft overlooking the living room, there’s a queen size bed and sleeper-sofa with a comfortable memory-foam mattress.
There are four homes at Sky Hawk Ridge: VRBO listings 1005119, 2844541, and 3613801.) Houses are spaced 500-1,200 feet apart, allowing plenty of separation for everyone's privacy. The land is for all to enjoy, so feel free to discover what lies around the bend.
Sky Hawk Ridge has the finest vacation homes anywhere near the Buffalo River. It's at the center of everything but peaceful and secluded. There are gorgeous views all around. 185 acres of natural beauty are yours to explore. Book your vacation today. You’ll love this place!

Beautiful cabin. Well-appointed with everything we needed for our stay (even had laundry and dishwashing pods, firewood, shampoo and conditioner, and trash bags). Fully stocked kitchen. Wonderful porch with a Mountain View. Comfy beds. Quiet, peaceful property nestled along the Buffalo River. Secluded area, but gas station and Dollar General within about a 3-5 minute drive, and grocery store (Harps) about 10 minutes away. Great places to access the river and play, close by. Hope to return!
The cabin was beautiful and very clean. We utilized all the outdoor space and trails. Donna (onsite) was very kind and made sure we had everything we needed. She made sure we knew she was available for questions. Lori (Owner and Host) was extremely accommodating and responsive.
We have stayed at Sky Hawk Ridge multiple times and love it so much! The cabins have everything you need and are beautifully decorated and always clean. We always see wildlife while there and enjoy walking all the trails. It is really peaceful and the perfect place to getaway!
We were floating the Buffalo River and this location is the best. We were just 5 minutes from the canoe rental and when we finished, we were 5 minutes from the cabin. The cabin was beautiful and so nice! The amenities were great. The owners really thought of everything. It was also super easy to check in and check out. No lengthy or complicated instructions. This was the best host we ever had!
This was the perfect place to stay for our annual Buffalo River weekend. Along with it being absolutely gorgeous, it had everything we needed to feel right at home. The beds were very comfortable and it has a washer/dryer which was a nice perk. We were able to wash our beach towels each day and we didn’t have to bring home stinky towels and a mountain of laundry! I also loved that it’s pet friendly and our little yorkie was allowed to tag along
Loved another year at Sky Hawk Ridge. This was our first time staying at another cabin besides the ranch house and it was wonderful. Gorgeous views, private feel, wonderful walking trails and a kitchen with every amenity you could imagine. Always love our Thanksgiving time spent here and looking forward to more future memories.
