Manes Bluff Cabins are perfect for horseback riders, hikers, or anyone looking for a scenic stay away from town. Located on the Buffalo Nation River, cabin is 4.6 miles from Snowball and located about 300 yards from Dave Manes Bluff lookout on the Buffalo River Trail in the Ozark Mountains. It is about 3 miles from the Buffalo National River by county road to the local favorite swimming hole the Margaret White A favorite and beautiful nearby river spot is the Margaret White. Whether you love hunting, fishing, or observing wildlife, this place has it all. 33 acres surrounded by park land.

This place is also wonderful for anyone interested in history as the late owner Dewey Dill spent time making moonshine in the school bus cleverly hidden (buried) behind the cabin.

Point Peter Mountain is visible off the front porch of Dewey s Cabin and the driveway to the cabin is marked by a beautiful old barn built in 1938.

What an amazing experience we had at Dewey's Cabin! My husband and I came with another couple and found it to be a perfect setting for rest and renewal. We all agreed that it was a wonderful way to re-connect with nature and "unplug" from every day. We came to take advantage of the dark sky during the Perseid Meteor shower and were not disappointed. We continued seeing some for 2 days afterwards. We canoed on the Buffalo River one day, enjoyed the solitude at Margaret White swimming hole . . . the cold, spring fed pool was amazing, visited the Crystal Bridges museum, and the Ghost Town at Rush. There are so many things to do in the area. We would highly recommend this stay to others and cannot wait to return!

Megan was responsive, understanding, and easy to communicate with throughout our stay. She was kind, accommodating, and went out of her way to address any issues promptly. We really appreciated her thoughtfulness and willingness to help, which made our experience much more enjoyable.Dewey's Cabin is a Great place to stay. The only thing to keep in mind is that the nearest grocery store is about a 27-minute drive away, so it's a good idea to plan ahead and stock up on essentials before arriving.

Absolutely loved our stay at Dewey’s Cabin! It was home away from home. The cabin was so comfortable and made me think of old times. With air conditioning!! Unfortunately we didn’t get to experience the lookout or the swimming hole. We spent a lot of time traveling up and down the mountain to the cabin, to and from Gilbert to meet up with family and canoe the river. It’s about 30 minutes to and from. Definitely would recommend being in a truck or suv for the drive. Cabin was nicely equipped. I liked having my own bedding and towels, etc. Definitely made it feel more like home. Marshall is closest grocery store. ((30 minutes away) Grill is charcoal so bring that. Host was super responsive. Not that we needed much, but I felt comfortable knowing she was there if we needed. World definitely recommend and we hope to go back!! Thanks for a great stay!

Was an excellent stay, very secluded and peaceful. It’s a very charming cabin, and I have to say; we loved the countertops. The walk down to the swimming hole is perfect, beautiful overlook off of the BRT that includes a river view, bluffs, and surrounding natural beauty of Arkansas. It’s well worth the stay, and perfect for a secluded getaway with a small family. We appreciate you letting us stay and thoroughly enjoyed our time.

This is a fairly bare bones cabin literally in the middle of nowhere; if that is what you are looking for you will love it. Absolutely beautiful area. Make sure you bring everything you need because there is not easy access to anything besides nature out there.

About the host

Hosted by Megan Rea

Host profile image
Megan and Kevin Rea are the owners of Manes Bluff Cabins. We enjoy all that our rural home has to offer including hunting, fishing, and horseback riding.

Why they chose this property

This property is special with a unique history and secluded location. 5.6 miles off the main highway, this location gives opportunity to get away from it all. With no neighbors or traffic, the only sounds with be of Ozark Mountain wildlife and nature. The late owner, Dewey Dill, built the house and used the secluded location to work his moonshine business. There is a school bus cleverly hidden (buried) behind the cabin where Dewey hide his still. Take a trip into the history of the Ozark Mountains.

What makes this property unique

Nature lovers and hunters alike will enjoy this location. The town of Marshall nearby has one of the few remaining drive Inn movie theaters left in the United States today. The Kenda Drive Inn has great food and great people and makes for a fun and unique experience.
