About this property

Cottage located in the Heart of the Ozark Mountains close to floating and hiking

This lovely spacious cottage is located between Harrison and Jasper near the Ozark National Forest.
Swimming and floating are a short distance away at the Buffalo National River along with numerous hiking trails in the area to explore.
The cottage is spacious and has a large covered patio and an adjacent firepit to lounge around and enjoy the sunset over Gaither mountain. Located in a fantastic area for motorcyclists and has excellent dark skies for the star gazers!
The location is country but has local restaurants nearby and a short distance to the services of Harrison.
The excitement of Branson MO is 45 minutes away, making it an easy day trip as well.

We would stay here again!

Location was 45 +/- minutes from Branson. It was easy to get to eventhough it was a bit of a hike. Since it is pet friendly we had pet hair on our clothes/ belongings. However, this did not subtract from the overrall cleanliness. We would stay here again!

Wonderful Property.

The cottage was spacious, clean, well equipped and very peaceful. It’s a beautiful, about 30 minute drive, to Ponca where many of the trailheads are and about 20 minutes to Jasper. The value for cost is excellent as it can sleep up to 6 people. I’d highly recommend!

Father and son hiking/fishing trip

The property was better than the pictures even show! Super clean…everything looks like it’s a new property. The location was perfect…quiet and beautiful scenery, but central to hiking and fishing. Can be at a restaurant within 15-20 minutes. The host was also super…responded within minutes to any questions, and super helpful navigating the area since I’d never been in the area. Will definitely stay here again

Cutest little farm house in Arkansas

Clean and modernized farm house. Located in a quiet farm area. Had everything we needed. Billie thought of everything for us. We loved our stay. We especially enjoyed the quiet nights on the porch. The location was perfect to see the surrounding sites.

Fantastic place

I was looking for a place outside of towns in the area. This place fit the bill perfectly! Quiet with a good view. Billie was there to greet us and show us around the place. It was exactly as described and actually had a couple of upgrades. Very clean and laid out well. All linen and towels were supplied, we needed nothing but food supplies and bath items. The outside grill and fireplace were great. Billie was always available if we had questions or concerns. There was room for our two trailers, we hauled our motorcycles there, and parking for two vehicles. A truly great host.

Cute and clean cottage

We stayed for one night while we explored the Buffalo River area. The cottage was extremely clean and updated with everything you could need. The fireflies and bright stars at night made this stay so magical and relaxing, highly recommend!

Wonderful stay!!

What a great getaway! We booked this adorable cottage as a place to stay after day hiking along the Buffalo River. It was an easy drive to local trailheads. This might have been the cleanest VRBO I’ve ever stayed in. And I love the decorating style. It was the prefect end to our day to relax in total comfort or sit around the fire. Thank you for sharing this gem of a property. We are already making plans for next year and staying at this property is totally part of our plans.

Great place

Location was wonderful. Just far enough outside the city to be quiet and safe for children to run around, but close enough to be in the city in a few minutes. Good communication from host made finding the place much easier than Google Maps tried to make it.

Quick trip to town for funeral

My sister and I had to come to town for a funeral as we had an aunt that passed away. I didn’t want stay in a hotel so we rented this beautiful cottage. It was very cozy comfortable and super clean. Billie couldn’t be nicer. She was very accommodating and we would definitely stay here again. Thank you Billie 😊❤️

Paradise with a view

Our stay was absolutely beautiful. From the moment we pulled in you could tell that the property was taken care of. The beds and linens were comfortable as were the linens for the sofa, bed in the living room. a large bathroom to get ready for your day and even a single serve coffee maker in the room. Outside was just as nice if not more beautiful because of the breathtaking views you get at sunset and sunrise. we would absolutely come back to this property not only for its cleanliness but also for the top notch communication with the property owner
