Amazing cabin mountain view

The VRBO was stunning. The view from back porch was breathtaking. Watching the sunrise while on back deck was absolutely gorgeous and so peaceful. I would highly recommend staying at this cabin.

The view is priceless!

Was looking for a peaceful get away and this was it! The view alone is soul soothing - watching the sunrise and then the moon rising later. House is great, especially for a couple. There were some issues with the cleanliness, but spoke to the owner who is dealing with a new cleaning service and had not been made aware that the service was not doing their job.

Beautiful Cabin Mountain top View

Beautiful place gorgeous view. Very serene and short drive back down to town. Cabin is near restaurants and hiking trails 30 min away. Cabin had plenty of utensils, dishes, towels, and even a laundry room. Telescope was a bonus to see stars at night. Only thing I would recommend is to double Check lint/hair on the sheets. I had to re-wash all bedding and use sticky roller to remove it for my son for upstairs bed. Other that place was perfect.

Great getaway spot with the best view in Arkansas!

If you want a place to get away and do nothing but sit and enjoy a 30-mile view on a deck this is it! Very comfortable inside too! Nice that is off the main road some so it feels very secluded.

Anniversary trip

Stunning views from the living room and back porch. We enjoyed a relaxing trip to Buffalo river. We took a day trip to eureka springs, ate the best ice cream in Harrison and hiked some wonderful waterfall trails. The rental was exactly as described and bed was comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. It was perfect for a couple. The loft would be okay for kids but the ladder and no railing was a bit worrisome. The neighborhood was quiet and very convenient to get around.

Highly Recommended!

We had a wonderful stay! The property is beautiful and well kept. The cabin is stocked with most everything you need. Everything was clean and perfectly decorated. The cabin offers nice appliances that were clean and functioned well. The view from anywhere from inside the cabin, out on the deck, or from inside the screened in porch is absolutely beautiful! Estee´ is a five + 1 star host; very clear communication, flexible, and so very easy to work with! We will definitely be visiting again just as soon as we get the chance!

Home away from home with a spectacular view!

Our stay was perfect and very relaxing. I spent most of the time on the covered deck watching birds. It rained one evening, we were able to stay outside under the covered portion. The town was close enough to grab our groceries. The kitchen was well stocked, even had a cast iron! Communication with the owner was prompt and informative. Definitely will book again for a romantic trip.

About the host

Hosted by Estee Willis

Host profile image
I began visiting the area in 2011. I enjoy motorcycle & ATV riding, jeeping, hiking, boating and all the other outdoor activities this area has to offer. The close proximity to my home made it ideal for quick weekend getaways.

Why they chose this property

I wanted something close to the Buffalo National Park, the river and the many scenic hikes. I wanted privacy and seclusion, something with a cozy "lost in the woods" feel, complete with a deck and a stunning view. Oh, and I needed my rustic location to have paved roads, internet and proper phone service.
Well, this cabin fit my needs perfectly!
