Outside you will find a large fire-pit with a covered grilling (charcoal) and picnic area that overlook the Buffalo River Valley.

Follow us on Facebook and Instagram @SMCBUFFALOVIEW for more information.
Note: The Upper Buffalo Area is still a very rural area. Things like WiFi and cell service are a luxury and sometimes may be spotty. On the mountain there is sometimes extreme weather conditions-high winds and occasional icing at odd times. Fall and Winter get ice and snow. Also Buffalo View is on a working farm that grows hay and occasionally grazes livestock.

Host profile image
Our family has been in Arkansas since 1819 and settled the Upper Buffalo River Valley in the 1830's. They settled in the Ponca and Boxley area, where much of our family still resides today.
Buffalo View Cabin sits on our families 6th generational farm. We live close by and are farmers and ranchers in the area. Our farm borders the Buffalo National Park to the South, with great views of the Upper Osage Watershed area and Buffalo River Valley. For many years we have wanted to find a way for others to enjoy the natural view of the Upper Buffalo area too. Finally, our dreams have come true and we have been blessed with the opportunity to share this experience with others. We wanted to give others an experience that was different than the average home or cabin. That's why we decided to go with the "Tiny Home Experience." We wanted to provide an unique experience that was like camping but with luxury and all the extras. We hope you enjoy your stay and get that tiny home camping feeling without having to rough it too much!! :)
