This was our second time staying at this property and it was just as enjoyable as the first. The views are absolutely beautiful and one of our favorite things about staying here. The bed is very comfortable, which made it easy to relax after a day of exploring and riding. The kitchen is well stocked with everything needed to prepare meals. We really appreciated having access to the garage for parking our motorcycle. The host is very responsive and easy to communicate with. Overall, this is a wonderful place to stay and we would gladly return again.

The place was clean and very nice. Loved the back deck. The bbq grill was very undesirable. GOS stopped me one driveway too soon but I easily knew it wasn’t correct. A hot tub would be the only thing missing to make that a little slice on Heaven. I’d recommend this place to anyone. Amazing sunrises. I’ll stay there in the future if I go do anymore hiking.

We needed a break from life and this cabin and location was a perfect getaway. Quiet, clean, well stocked, decent internet, and views that bring peace to the soul. The screened-in sitting porch was a favorite reading spot and the beds were super comfy. It’s definitely a visit again kind of place.

About the host

Hosted by Estee Willis

Host profile image
I began visiting the area in 2011. I enjoy motorcycle & ATV riding, jeeping, hiking, boating and all the other outdoor activities this area has to offer. The close proximity to my home made it ideal for quick weekend getaways.

Why they chose this property

I wanted something close to the Buffalo National Park, the river and the many scenic hikes. I wanted privacy and seclusion, something with a cozy "lost in the woods" feel, complete with a deck and a stunning view. Oh, and I needed my rustic location to have paved roads, internet and proper phone service.
Well, this cabin fit my needs perfectly!
