The cabin was secluded in a peaceful setting. It was clean and comfortable and had the dishes and tools we needed to cook all of our meals. The location was about 5 minutes away from a small convenience store/kayak shop where we were able to buy a couple of things we were missing.

Great option for the area

This was a fantastic cabin! It is in a great location for many fun activities that we did, such as hiking, kayaking, shopping, etc. And at the same time it was a very private location, which we enjoyed. Diane & Rick are great hosts and very friendly. I would definitely stay there again.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cabin! The area is peaceful and scenic—perfect for a relaxing family getaway. The cabin itself was clean, cozy, and well-maintained. I accidentally left something behind after we checked out, and the host went above and beyond to help—locating it quickly and even mailing it back to me. Excellent communication and hospitality. We would absolutely recommend this cabin and hope to stay again in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Millikan

Host profile image
Upon retirement, my husband and I moved from Texas to this secluded 40-acre mountain property just 4 miles above the Buffalo River recreation area. We've recently constructed two new cedar log cabins in private areas of the property for visitors to the area to enjoy. We've taken great care to construct and furnish top-notch cabins with modern amenities yet still preserving a true cabin experience.

Why they chose this property

Our cabins provide some of the most convenient access in the area to the main Buffalo River activities. The Mama Bear Cabin is particularly suitable for guests who want complete privacy - you won't see anything but forrest in all directions!
