EXTRAORDINARY Home at Sky Hawk Ridge, a 185-acre Refuge next to Buffalo River
ALL NEW AND SUPER-COOL.
Sky Hawk Ridge is place of extraordinary natural beauty, a 185-acre private refuge at the gateway to Buffalo River National Park. This extraordinary, luxury vacation home is brand new and sparkling clean! It’s farmhouse style on the outside, but bright, open and modern inside. The home affords breathtaking views of the Buffalo River Valley and manicured grounds all around. The expansive, private-park setting 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 the beautiful landscape. Enjoy misty morning walks through dew-covered fields. Watch radiant 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. The cabin is at the end of a long drive, about 3/4 mile from the entry. Sited at the end of a prominent ridge, surrounded by meadow and framed by a trio of stately, old oaks, the house affords sweeping views up the river valley.
The property 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 September, 2023, this comfortable home has plenty of room for your family or two couples. Stunning architecture and tasteful furnishings make the house memorable in its own right.

This cabin was amazing. It was a private and peaceful location. It was clean and had everything we needed. Perfect vacation with the family. Would love to stay again!
Absolutely incredible. Will come again. Gorgeous property, dog friendly, and 5 min to Gilbert landing. Wow. You can tell someone put a lot of thought into the property. It is LUXURY
We had an amazing time while staying here. My husband walked the grounds every morning and heard turkeys gobbling. We spent our days enjoying the rock bars of the river but our evenings at the cabin were perfection. Drinking a glass of wine with the back porch view was breathtaking. The kids loved the horseshoes. This was the ideal spot for relaxation. Most destinations get overcrowded and chaotic but choosing sky hawk ridge was the best decision ever!
Very private and wonderful stay. This is our 2nd time staying and we'll be back next year. Very clean, well stocked kitchen, with an amazing sunset view.
Sky Hawk Ridge is a stunning place inside the cabin and out. We love the fully stocked kitchen, all we do is bring the cooking ingredients! Everything is clean and organized and the views are unmatched. We love exploring the trails on property and driving to surrounding area trails as well. The hosts are wonderful and extremely helpful! This was our second stay and we will be back.
Brand new property, excellent customer service, very comfortable home that is located perfectly for visitors who want to enjoy the Buffalo National River and surrounding Ozarks.
Beautiful cabin that is absolutely spotless in a glorious setting. Easy access to the Buffalo River and great restaurants. Ron and Donna are awesome hosts. Highly recommend. Look forward to a return visit very soon!!
The property is amazing and secluded with a great view from the back porch. If you are planning on floating the Buffalo National river and don't want to be camping next to someone else, this place is for you!
This is a great place! It’s so clean and well maintained, the beds are comfy and the house is very cozy. We had the best time floating the Buffalo and hanging out at Grinder’s Ferry. The kitchen is fully stocked so it’s very easy to prepare meals and stay in. Our favorite meal out was at the Skylark Cafe in Leslie. The brisket tacos were out of this world - a meal so good you don’t want it to end! The hosts are quick to respond to any question or request and super friendly. We loved it and would stay here again next time we visit.
Everything about this place was great! The house was extremely clean and well stocked. The property offers gorgeous views overlooking the valley and Ozarks; perfect for morning coffee and evening wine watching the sunset. Numerous hiking trails are right there on the vast property for exploring.
Beautiful cabin on secluded acres, only a few other cabins on the property but they are spaces apart well for adequate privacy. Property is exactly as pictured, very clean and well maintained.
We really enjoyed the property. Absolutely beautiful. I don’t normally sleep well when I travel but I slept like a rock. The house was very clean and peaceful. Had everything we could need and then some. We will stay there again when we float the buffalo.
From booking to checking out, Donna has always been so accommodating and kind to us. The property itself is just amazing, everything is gorgeous inside and out. Whether you want to unwind or be active, it is perfect for both. We plan to come back again and again.
Wonderful stay at this property. Small issue with a drain but property managers addressed it within short order. Donna and Ron are great people. I expect to return for another stay soon.
Wonderful time at Sky Hawk. This is the 3rd property we stayed stayed in. Great management and oversight by the caretakers! I highly recommend you stay here.
