Nice Quaint Cabin

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the Buffalo Bungalow. The cabin was cozy and comfortable and was the perfect size for 2 for our weekend getaway. The hot tub was perfect after a long day of hiking.

Peaceful getaway for two...

Cozy bungalow was perfect for a quick, quiet getaway. Loved spending time on the porch and soaking in the hot tub to just get away from it all. Everything we needed including a little coffee bar that had pods, sweeteners, and creamers which was a nice little touch!

Nice little cabin

The cabin was nice and tidy! However, it isn’t as secluded as the picture seem so if you’re looking for a cabin in the woods alone, this unfortunately doesn’t meet those requirements. There is another cabin on the same road as well as a house right through the trees. It was quiet and lovely, but not private. Overall though it was a very lovely place to stay and the hot tub was a huge hit!

Hidden Gem

Great property located in a fairly secluded little town. The view of the valley was spectacular especially at sunrise. Hot tub was small but large enough for two people. Would definitely stay again next time we’re in the area !

Scenic Retreat

We stayed in the area for bicycling and hiking and were very happy with the location. The roads were very nice and there are good hiking trails nearby. It is rural and quiet nestled in the woods. The hot tub is very nice and although we didn’t get to use it the fire pit would have also been fun. The cabin is small (just the things you need) and you will want to spend most of your time on the deck, not a lot of windows. It should be noted it is located in a dry county,

About the host

Hosted by Tammy Johnston

Host profile image
We are family! This cabin is owned by two sisters, one living in Dallas and the other outside of Memphis, all native Arkansans. We each own rental cabins in Broken Bow, OK and the Smoky Mountains of TN, but Arkansas will always hold a special place in all our hearts!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the 14 acre property and opened the main house first, then restored the tiny house to make it rental ready. We added the elevated deck, hot tub, and cleared trees to see that outstanding view from the deck and hot tub!

What makes this property unique

We offer high quality amenities and furnishings most other cabins do not. We are also in the perfect location- 5 private secluded acres but only a few miles from the charming town of Jasper with its restaurants and shops. Our views off the front porch are hard to beat!
