If you are looking for a quiet secluded location this is the spot. It puts you away from the hustle and bustle of city life and noise. However you are only a few minutes away from shopping and restaurants. The cabin is very well equipped. Just pick up some groceries and your good to go. Jim was great if we needed anything. He even gave us some great suggestions for eating out if we didn't cook in. If we need a place to stay in this area in the future we would definitely see if it was available.

Our family enjoyed a wonderful Spring Break week at the cabin. It's been beautifully restored and was clean with plenty of sleeping space all the modern amenities. Such a gorgeous location - we enjoyed several hikes in the Ozarks (there are some great guide books in the cabin) and we were also close enough to head up to Branson and enjoy some activities in that area. Jim was a wonderful host and helped with everything we needed. We highly recommend this wonderful cabin!

Such a peaceful place. Resplendent view. Jim was wonderfully accommodating. we wanted for nothing.

Mr. Jim welcomed us, personally to Murrays Cabin in the woods. It was just what I expected from the description; a lovely, seemingly secluded cabin - which was really only a short ride to EVERYTHING!!!

My wife and I had a great time at Murray's Cabin. It was our honeymoon destination, and we can't recommend it more as a getaway for couples. It's private, quiet, and off the beaten path. Jim received us warmly and offered his help for anything we might need during our stay. No one disturbed our visit, and yet we were just a few minutes from the grocery store and anything else we might have needed. Fayetteville and Branson make good day trips, but simply resting at the cabin is enjoyable as well. Also, the sunsets are incredible. We hope to return with some friends of ours as the cabin has three bedrooms and would be a great place for a family and friends vacation.

Jim was very nice, welcoming, and informative. We enjoyed the cabin very much. The home feels safe, private, and comfortable. If you're a fan of wine, I would bring some glasses. Jim has a wine opener. If you want to put a frozen pizza in the oven, Jim has a pizza cutter, but not a pan. Two small tipsfor your trip if these things are important to you. Jim cares a great deal about his guests, and it wouldn't surprise me if he added these items soon. There are beautiful places to hike within a 30-45 minute drive. The drive to those locations are beautiful, scenic, and breathtaking. Jim is very knowledgeable about the surrounding areas and his guidebooks are fantastic if you want to find a great hike or local swimming hole. Overall a great experience. Jim truly takes pride in this cabin and cares about his guests! Thank you Jim!

Wow! Just Wow! Breathtaking. Peaceful. Rejuvenating. Every convenience. Immaculate. Jim & Rose thought of everything. Dinnerware that sparkles and gleams. Cookware. Stainless Steel Appliances. Granite Counters. Beautiful Furnishings and Charming Decor. Night lights. Room Fans. Throw Blankets. Fireplace - one push of a button gives ambiance with or without heat. Cushy Chairs. Cushy soft beds & pillows with crisp linens. Lots of soft towels. A hairdryer. Iron. TV. Washer & dryer with soap and dryer sheets. Coffee & Tea. Sugar and cream. Shampoo & Conditioner. Soap. The bathroom was showroom shiny clean. The beds were made in a fashion that was noticeably chic. This cabin deserves a cover on a magazine. Thank you Jim & Rose for sharing your little piece of heaven with my daughter and I. Thanks for staying up and welcoming us when we arrived after dark. You reassured us with the knowledge you were living close by if needed and that there were no recent sightings of bear nor Bigfoot. (We are city slickers from Los Angeles & Las Vegas) It was hard to drive away when we knew a piece of us was going to remain. We loved our stay and have had an unforgettable first time Airbnb experience that has set the bar high for subsequent hosts. We can't wait to return. We will rave praise to all our friends & family, encouraging them to experience the cabin as well. For all who consider this cabin- don't hesitate. You will be as happy as we are. We also recommend going to the Mystic Caverns. Twin Falls is spectacular and is only a short walk on an easy trail outside of Jasper. Eat at the Ozark Cafe in Jasper. It is beyond charming and the food is delicious. I have never tasted fries so yummy. Everything is large portion and tasty. The blackberry cobbler is off the charts. Check out the old jail next door. It's haunted!! Explore the Buffalo River. It is majestic and grand. Go see the elk herds. And always head back to the cabin before dark to enjoy its beauty in the whispering trees. It is the best way to unwind and relax. Five Stars ️️️️️

The cabin was beautiful and clean. Jim was waiting for us when we arrived, and he gave us a tour of the cabin and shared some details about the area as well. The hiking books were extremely helpful, and it was a perfect, serene location to get away from it all. Everything that we needed was already in the cabin - very low maintenance. Netflix was a great addition. We would definitely come back!

This was definitely the place to stay. Almost like home away from home. It was very comfortable roomy and relaxing. This place is close to anything you would need. I absolutely loved it.

Although off the beaten path, this unique stay was definitely perfect for our single night stay. Very clean, well maintained and had more amenities than I expected. I would recommend this place if you're needing to stay in the area. The hosts were very responsive with communication.

Cynthia was a wonderful host, what a great spot in Harrison! So many fun amenities, and a convenient location. We'll be back for sure.

I love this place and it's close to Branson. It was our 2nd time here. And we will continue to stay here when we make our trip to Harrison. The place is everything you want for a home away from home. The host always has quick response time. Thank you for sharing your place with us.

Cynthia's place was very accomodating and perfect for our group of 5. Our trip included hiking the Buffalo River Trail starting at the Compton Trailhead and her place is only a 20 minute drive there. There was plenty of space for us to be very comfortable during our stay. Cynthia was very responsive and super helpful whenever we had an issue. She usually responded within 15 min or less.

This place was simple clean and comfortable. And entertaining!!! She was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. I would definitely stay here again.

Hannah provided a wonderful experience in north central Arkansas. I still can't believe that a place like this villa exists in Harrison! The apartment is large and spacious. A back deck looks out over their garden area and a front balcony provides a breathtaking view of the valley, restored tall-grass prairie, and distant mountains. The villa is on a private, paved driveway off of a rural dirt road. My wife and I dined at the associated Tallgrass restaurant. A farm-to-table bar/eatery with a modern ambiance, amazing food and micro-brews. Hannah, whose mother and father own the restaurant, worked with us to develop a dinner menu that fit exactly with our dietary restrictions. The food was perfect, fresh, healthy and tasty. Next to the restaurant is the Prairie Market, a "whole foods" style grocery store where we picked up veggies, meat and eggs for our breakfast we cooked at the Villa. If you want fresh, local, and unique food, definitely stop here. Before we left the Villa, Hannah's father gave us a tour of the restored prairie and talked to us on how he is adopting sustainable practices in his farming and vineyard operations. He pointed out many of the rare species of plants found in the prairie, their place in the wider tall-grass ecosystem, and how many of them can be used for food and homeopathic extractions. Tall-grass prairie is one of the most endangered ecosystems on the planet and the fact that Hannah and her family are trying to meld their livelihood with the restoration of it, is a testament to how unique your experience can be if you stay at this AirBnB and fully take in what they have to offer. I highly recommend this AirBnB if you are in the area passing through or if you are a local wanting a weekend getaway in your neighborhood. Next time my wife and I are in the area, we are staying here!!

My husband and I stayed at the Villa for a short trip away from home after our wedding. The villa was absolutely gorgeous and we had a great stay. Hannah's mother greeted us when we arrived and was very friendly and inviting. We had planned on just relaxing the whole trip so we didn't do other activities really. Harrison, the nearest town doesn't have a lot to offer if you are wanting to do activities. But there is great hiking within an hours drive if you want to do that but also stay in the comfort of a gorgeous home. Our favorite part was that we found an old Nintendo 64 in the entertainment center which was pretty fun to play on! We would definitely recommend this place for anyone staying in the area.

The Villa is a great getaway. We will definitely be back in the future.

We very much enjoyed our stay. The location was beautiful, peaceful and just what we needed. Our host was very attentive and readily available for questions. Upon our arrival, we were met with delicious muffins, brownies and wonderful coffee. We highly recommend this place and plan to come back in the near future.

This place is a gem, and so is the host! It's tucked a little off the beaten path, and the last little stretch is gravel, so take your time & enjoy the views. The villa overlooks a field of wildflowers and a small vineyard, with views of the mountains in the distance - great for pretending you have the whole world to yourself! :) It has 2 balconies (the one on the back of the guesthouse was a perfect place for us to unwind) and really comfortable, clean interior. The villa would be great for a small family or a couple - we were attending a wedding just south of the Branson area, and it was a quick 25-minute drive to the venue, which was perfect - wish we'd had time for a longer stay! Our host (Hannah) was very prompt and helpful, communicating with us the whole time, and left us some sweet treats as a surprise when we arrived - such a nice touch. [She'd even thought to leave a USB charging port in case a phone needed charging.] We ended up arriving about 30 minutes earlier than we'd originally anticipated, but we texted Hannah on the way, and she was really great, and already had everything ready. A gem - seriously! If we're back in the area, we'll check availability here first!

We enjoy the location, close to a lot of things to do. The house was fine, it felt like home. We loved the people, friendly, generous, helpful, we loved the atmosphere of the restaurant, very nice waiters and family atmosphere, excellent food. We loved also the health store and all the healthy products in the house, it makes it smell clean, fresh and therapeutic. Perfect for a relaxing vacation. Thank you.

Both inside and outside of the house were such great surprises! The field across the road was beautiful which had a path that led through a variety of pretty wild flowers and plants. A perfect walk at sunset or sunrise! The house was comfortable, spacious, and we had everything we needed. For dinner we got take out at a Jasmine Thai in Harrison and brought it back to the house to eat! This place is a secret gem in the middle of Arkansas and we are so happy to discover this treasure!

This place was very nice and charming

I would highly recommend staying in Donnie's chalet. It has a warm atmosphere, is located near some fantastic hiking and has a wonderful view. We particularly enjoyed the wildlife we observed from the back deck and being so close to the Buffalo. The surrounding terrain is beautiful and Donnie's place is a great option for lodging while you're in the area.

The Cozy Mountain Cottage was perfect for a couple nights in the ozarks mountains. Donnie was easy to contact and even called to check up on us and make sure we had everything. Short drives to excellent hiking trails and even though it rained the second night we had a great time. Highly recommend!

Donnie was a wonderful host, very easy to talk to and get ahold of! Cozy Mountain Cottage was just that. It is reminiscent of a ski lodge in its shape, but quite comfortable for two couples or in this case a couple and friend. The kitchen was nicely laid out and sitting out on the porch looking out at the forest with a mug of tea was very relaxing.

I chose the cabin instead of a hotel while I'm in town on business - MORE than I expected and adding an iron so I could press my dress shirts before work each day was great

The cabin was perfect!! It was reasonable distance to so many different attractions and hiking trails!! Even had water bottles and popcorn for us! We definitely had such a relaxing time and we will definitely be back!

Everything was fine!

Had a lovely time at this little mountain cottage -- the location was perfect for accessing Ozark hiking trails and the Buffalo River nearby. There are also cave tours (Mystic Caverns) about 3 minutes up the road. The cottage is located in a little secluded community of other chalets and not too far from Harrison (a 15-minute drive) for making a grocery run (the kitchen has everything needed for light cooking). Donnie provided great communication, so finding the cottage and checking in was a breeze. Thank you!

It truly is a cozy little cottage! Located in the Old Dogpatch area, it was a perfect getaway for us to be out in nature. Unfortunately it rained most of the weekend, so we missed out on a lot of the hiking in the Ozarks that we had planned to do, but we enjoyed just being able to sleep in and be lazy. The stairs on the inside of the cottage are very steep (think more of a ladder than stairs!) which makes it a little difficult to get upstairs. But we did lots of cooking and had plenty of space and had everything that we needed furnished in the kitchen. Thanks, Donnie, for opening up your space to us for the weekend!

The experience was very good. The cabin was better than we expected. It was very clean and decently stocked with the cooking essentials. The hosts were friendly and attentive to our needs. They accommodated us well, even when we forget our coffee, they provided us some of their own. The horseback ride was nice and pleasant. The views throughout the entire ranch were breathtakingly beautiful! The atmosphere was warm and inviting. We recommend this ranch to anyone who wants a quiet place to enjoy time with loved ones and relax in a beautiful setting.

My husband and I really appreciated the kindness of Karen and Steve! We had spent many days traveling prior to reaching the cabin, and they were very accommodating in meeting us fairly late in the evening. The cabin was a warm and welcoming place for us to spend the last three nights of our vacation. We would recommend to travelers that you come with a 4-wheel drive vehicle as the charm of the remoteness of the cabins comes with rugged roads. We would also suggest bringing ample drinking water for your stay because the water seems to be high in sulfur (I'm sure very common to the area, we are just not used to it). Be sure and print out the directions to the cabins before your trip because the cell phone coverage is patchy, and it would be easy to get lost (stay left at the fork in the road :-) ). If you're looking for peace and quiet, this is definitely a wonderful place to stay with very kind hosts. Thank you, Karen and Steve!

It was fantastic! Beautiful, comfortable, clean and cozy cabin with lots of room. Fire and stars and nature everywhere. Such hospitable, conscientious and kind hosts! Would definitely visit again and suggest!

Fantastic experience! The cabins are cozy and comfortable with beautiful trees all around. Steve and Karen were wonderful hosts! Steve even took us horse riding around his property in the morning. We visited over Labor Day weekend and hiked around the property. Would love to visit again in the winter time to experience the lovely log cabin in the cold!

Beautiful spacious cabin in a quiet wooded area, perfect for a family get away from the city! If we are ever back near Alpena this is where we'll stay. Thank you Karen & Steve!

Cabin is very seclude, very clean and convenient to both the Ponca section of the Buffalo River National Park and Branson, Missouri. We really enjoyed our stay.

Our cabin was nice and clean far back in the woods all to itself. Iloved the candles and quilts and warm cozy atmosphere. I also appreciated the Bible on the bookshelf.

Great little cabin, nicely secluded and while still close enough to the Buffalo River. Excellent hosts as well, worked with me to allow another member of the party check-in. Cabin has the basic necessities (plates, bowls, towels, etc.), as well as a great deck.

This is The place to stay for a secluded get-a-way. The gorgeous quiet setting, trails for a walk, the option for a horse ride and the beauty of the Ozarks all made for a most wonderful stay. Excellent hosts topprd it off.

We really enjoyed our stay here! Owing to some problems on the way, we weren't able to reach by a designated time. Steve was kind enough and waited for us and drove us to the cabin. My car got stuck on the path and he was kind enough to help us get out of the trouble. Overall, a place that I would recommend to anyone!

We stayed in the cabin for the Memorial Day weekend. It was such a rejuvenating experience. The place is fabulous and I appreciate Karen and Steve's kind hospitality. I highly recommend this place!

Karen was incredibly sweet and quick to respond to any questions we had. The cabin is in a very secluded area & makes you feel like you're worlds away from civilization. It's a perfect relaxing getaway! It's about 30-45 minutes from hiking in Ponca, which we didn't mind. I would recommend this cabin if a quiet weekend is what you're looking for :)

Steve & Karen are so great! We had a weekend girl's retreat and we felt safe and well taken care of. They made sure we stayed nice and toasty in our cabin with electric heat and blankets. I would recommend bringing in your own water as the previous reviews suggested. Overall, a wonderful experience!

Thank you so much Steve and Karen for your warm and gracious hospitality. We enjoyed the cabin, the extra firewood not to mention the plunger rescue. We had an amazing 2 hr trail ride with Andrew. You made us feel like family not guests. We'll be back!

There was some misunderstanding on amount of guests; the website had clearly stated "there is no extra charge for aditional guests". We arrived and found out there was extra charge for each extra Person. Mr. Steve apperently had a bad experience with indian guests and quickly became racist and rude while he was talking to me.Mrs. Karen at the other hand was very nice, welcoming, and friendly. Justin was also helpful letting us know the location of the cabin.

Karen and Steve were very pleasant and hospitable. The cabin was clean, super secluded, and had plenty of amenities. Definitely bring your own drinking water. Also a car that can handle off roading would have been helpful for driving up to the cabin. Besides all that, the cabin was great for a weekend getaway.

Kathy and her Red Cabin are amazing! Kathy met us at an easy to find location and then led us in to the cabin. Once there, she gave us a personal tour of the cabin and answered any questions we had. Kathy also provided ingredients for an excellent breakfast our first day at the cabin (sausage, eggs, juice, milk, biscuits, butter, and jam). Kathy continued to check in with us throughout the trip to make sure that we had everything we needed. She provided everything we could think of and more (all the way down to make up removal wipes, q-tips, flashlights, hot cocoa bar, etc). Before checkout on our final day Kathy stopped by to personally deliver a pan of homemade brownies and a thank you note. She made our stay so special and made the Red Cabin feel like home. I highly recommend this space to anyone looking for a quiet getaway!

Kathy is an amazing host. Me and my wife got stuck in traffic on the way to her Little Red Cabin and did not show up till after 9 p.m. Kathy still met with us and gave us the whole walk through. The cabin itself is so cute and charming and Kathy again provides you with EVERYTHING! From toiletries to first aid kits. Extra light bulbs. A case of water. A most righteous breakfast tray complete with a dozen eggs, bacon, biscuits, breakfast sausage, jelly and more. The internet worked surprisingly well. Direct tv was nice as well. I simply cant say enough great things about this place. North central Arkansas is gorgeous and AGAIN kathy comes through with maps of the area, guide books, coupons, and some wonderful suggestions. Me and the wife hiked lost valley about 35 mins away and it was a amazing experience. Everything was perfect and i cant wait to book my next stay with her again. Truly a superior experience! Even a wonderful tray of soft delicious brownies on our last night. OMG NOM!

The Red Cabin was adorable with everything you would need for a great experience. Kathy was attentive and very personable. She even dropped by with fresh brownies for me and the family. If you are looking for a great cabin in the woods convienent to the Buffalo River and Harrison AR. This is the place to stay. Every year my family has a weekend at the Buffalo to watch the Elk during rutting season. We will be back! Thanks again Kathy and Raymond!

When we arrived Kathy gave us a tour of the cabin and made sure we knew where everything was located. This lady is a true professional and and a real people person. She told us about local history, local points of interest and where we could get any thing we may need for our stay. Very very helpful with our stay. went far beyond our expectations.

Look no further! You will not find a more hospitable and considerate host than Kathy. She provided a much-appreciated tray of breakfast goods upon arrival to this comfortable cabin. She has thought of everything you could possibly need and anything you might have forgotten, including activity advice and hiking sticks, great linens and marshmallow skewers, DirecTV and great wifi. Close to nature, deer in the yard, but this ain't roughin' it! We did short stint north into Harrison for celebratory steak dinner and not far to south into Jasper cafes and hikes galore. Can't blame Kathy for lack of fall color and we still had fun without that. Great place for a couple's getaway or small family. While there is only one bathroom, it's nice and big. Kitchen well-stocked, extra blankets, books, games, toiletries. Kathy is best host ever and she makes a really awesome pan of farewell brownies! We hope to be back.

Our stay at the Red Cabin was everything we hoped for. Just secluded enough and close to some of the best motorcycling roads in the country. Kathy was a wonderful host. She was gracious and thoughtful, from providing us with some groceries for breakfast (so we wouldn't have to run out and shop til the next day) to marking a magazine article about the different motorcycle events in the area, to her scrumptious "thank you" brownies. Our stay was thoroughly amazing. Thanks, Kathy!

After renting cabins and condos all over the U.S., we've developed certain expectations. Fortunately, we've never had a horrible experience; we've just enjoyed some more than others. Kathy managed to stand out. Her cabin is well-appointed, better than described, and she is a gifted host! We wanted to take our kids on all day hikes and come back to modern amenities: her cabin provided! We could sit around the fire pit roasting marshmallows and still have great phone and WiFi signals. We were greeted with a scrumptious breakfast tray upon arrival and she brought homemade brownies on our last evening; she even let the girls put feed out for the deer to ensure they would come visit that evening. The extra amenities in the cabin are too numerous to mention; suffice it to say, I've never been more sad to leave a place. We usually like to try different places in an area we love, we have no desire to do that. The Little Red Cabin is our go to for Buffalo River vacations!

We really enjoyed the cabin. It has lots of amenities. There was even extra toothbrushes which was great since one of us had forgotten ours. Kathy left a breakfast tray with eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits, jelly, milk and butter. She also brought warm brownies on our last night. We enjoyed the firepit and watching the deer near the cabin. The decor was very nice and cozy.
