We enjoyed the unique property. The house was clean, well stocked with what we needed to make meals & spacious enough for 2 families to spend time together but not be in each others way. The area is full of natural beauty. We visited when it was bitter cold or we would have spent more time outside with the animals and enjoying the porch & yard.

Great Place!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We were able to walk down and see/pet the horses and a sheep behind the house. Nice, quiet location not far from Ponca/Boxley where we took our older parents to see Elk. Definitely recommend staying here.

Nice vacation location

We loved the spaciousness both inside and out. There was enough separate areas those that needed a little quiet time could have it. And there were big spaces for our group activities. We weren’t too extremely far from the sites we wanted to visit. Overall we had a great experience.

Outstanding facility; great hosts

We have stayed in cabins all over the US for the past 20 years and this one was far and away the best supplied (linen, kitchen, etc) of any visited. The ranch house was large and clean, had good views, a great deck and quiet surroundings. Our hosts lived on the property and were very gracious to us including a personalized tour of the facities on the 400 acre ranch. We would stay there again in a heart beat if we wished to visit that area of Arkansas again.

Perfect Family Getaway

Our kids and grandkids joined us for a Buffalo River float trip. This house was a perfect size for us. We all had room to spread out in the house as well as gather in dining/kitchen for meals. We really enjoyed sitting on the porch each evening reliving the day’s adventures. My grandson used the fishing pole he found on the porch to fish in the small pond. The house has everything you will need down to dishwasher pods. We had a blast and will return!

An Arkansas Getaway

Peaceful and beautiful. Set in the hills away from everything, this property is really well equipped so that you can quickly unload your gear and either sit back and relax or go exploring. We enjoyed feeding the horses and saying hi to the very excited and friendly sheep. There is a nice trail up above the property and a quiet stream below it. From here we found it easy to visit Hawksbill Crag, The Glory Hole, and Alum Cove Natural Bridge. There certainly were many more places to explore but we will just have to come back another time. The property manager and the caretaker were very quick to respond to our questions and give us tips about certain things in the area. Overall, a great vacation!

Our overall stay was excellent. The property was very clean, well-organized, and the check-in and check-out instructions were clear and easy to follow. The home itself was absolutely beautiful.One of our favorite features was the partial wraparound porch, complete with a lovely porch swing overlooking the mountains and nearby horses. The horses were incredibly friendly and seemed to enjoy attention and pats, which made the experience even more special.It’s worth noting that the property is located a few miles off the main paved road, accessible by unpaved gravel roads. However, this worked well for us since we were planning to hike on nearby trails, and the location suited our needs perfectly.The kitchen, dining room, and living areas comfortably accommodated our large family. One thing to be aware of is that while there are two full bathrooms, both are located on the main level, and there is no bathroom on the second floor where two of the bedrooms are.Any time we had questions or concerns, the property manager responded within minutes, and the caretaker arrived within about five minutes to assist us. Both were extremely friendly and easy to work with.We would definitely book this property again!

Wonderful and Roomy House

Our family of 9 stayed here during Christmas for a few days. First, I appreciated how the grounds were full of decorations and just added to the Christmas atmosphere. Also, this house is located in a beautiful part of Arkansas. The views were gorgeous, and the grounds were quiet and peaceful. So relaxing! My grandson enjoyed petting the horses and feeding the goats, and the gated property allowed us to take him outside without worrying about holding his hand constantly. The kitchen was supplied with more pots and pans and utensils and appliances than I’ve seen in other vacation properties. The beds were comfy, and bathrooms well-stocked with bathroom linens. Overall, I recommend this property for any family function you might have. It was a perfect Christmas!

Four of us on motorcycles recently stayed at Mountain Majesty on Mountain Valley Ranch and two of us thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Two returned home the day after arriving. This was for two reasons the protentional storms and the 1.8 mile gravel/dirt road.Myself and other person that stayed did not find the 1.8 mile gravel/dirt road hard to navigate with me on my 2025 Goldwing and the other rider on a 2024 FJR1300. Navigating this road may have proven more difficult had we had to ride it in the rain. Adventure bikes would have no issues at all!We spent every morning on the porch with coffee and in the evening with an adult beverage.Cell phone coverage is spotty at best, but the wi-fi worked fantastic and allowed me to work while visiting and also place wi-fi cell phone calls.Overall, Mountain Majesty is a fantastic choice for anyone seeking a relaxing, scenic getaway in the Arkansas Ozarks. Highly recommend it to friends and family. Thank you to the hosts for creating such a welcoming retreat!

About the host

Hosted by Julianne Hawthorne

Host profile image
Lynda Bowers, is the owner.
I enjoy traveling up the hill to our home and waving or stopping to introduce myself to our different guests. Love seeing children enjoying themselves playing outdoors and catching pollywogs in our pounds and other fun old fashion things kids used to enjoy doing.

Why they chose this property

Lynda's goal for purchasing Mountain Valley Ranch was providing a safe and peaceful place others could stay on site and relax, read, walk, watch animals and find respite in peace and quietness.

What makes this property unique

We have failed to hear one guest over the past 11 years say they wish they could hear all the sounds of cars, busy streets and loudness. NO, they say, they love the quietness and the peace provided through the sounds of natural breezes through the trees, the sound of our creeks and streams, livestock running up and down our hills and our lovely birds. Travelers love our porches with beautiful views. A time to reflect while greatly enjoying life in a quite tranquil setting.
