About this property

Starlight Cabin in the Ozark Mountains near the Buffalo National River

Come slip away to a serene setting on seven private acres in the picturesque Ozarks. Our rustic cedar cabin with pine interior is the perfect respite from the stress of everyday living. Starlight Cabin offers a full kitchen (apartment size stove, refrigerator, and microwave) and pantry stocked with essentials such as coffee and coffee filters, sugar, flour, salt & pepper, vegetable and coconut oils for cooking, mustard, ketchup, bottled water, napkins, paper towels, and foil. Dishes and pots and pans are provided. There is a wonderful large deck with a charcoal grill and outdoor dining furniture. After exploring the area, come back to the cabin and prepare dinner on the grill and enjoy dining under the stars. Take in the incredible clear night sky. View the Milky Way while relaxing on the deck. A queen size memory foam bed awaits you in the loft and the soft glow of a Himalayan salt lamp sets the stage for respite and rejuvenation. A queen size sleeper sofa in the living area offers a restful night's sleep. Luxurious high thread count sheets are furnished for your comfort. The bathroom has a pedestal sink and large circular shower with soft and absorbent Turkish towels. A hair dryer is provided. Small batch, organic handmade soap made on the farm is supplied. The living area has a small TV and DVD player. The TV will pick up local public broadcasting channels. A writing desk situated in a little nook provides views of the pasture and woods.

Please note that cell service can be spotty at the cabin. AT&T and Verizon have strong signals. I have received mixed reviews for T-Mobile - some guests do have limited access, others have none. As far as Sprint and US Cellular, I've been told that there is no access. I would assume that all other carriers have limited or no service at the cabin.

We wanted a little vacation in a cabin where we could unplug for a few days. This was the perfect spot. The cabin is so cute with a beautiful view and all the amenities you could want. The little personal touches set it over the top. We will definitely be coming back and next time we'll go floating down the river too!

What a charming and convenient retreat to enjoy all the magic of the lower Buffalo River. From the fresh eggs leads by the hosts’ hens to the nighttime glory on the deck to stargaze and listen to the summer critter chorus, Satight Cabin is a real treat!

We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. The cabin truly felt like home after having a long day of adventures. All of the small details and thoughtfulness put into this cabin added so much charm and warmth. We couldn't see the stars due to all the rain and clouds over the weekend, but the view was breathtaking. The farm fresh eggs and snacks that were provided made the experience so special. We can't wait to come back and make more memories!

Stay of a lifetime

We really loved our stay in the Starlight Cabin. The cabin was clean and cozy with an incredible view of rolling Ozark hills. The extensive deck with multiple amenities made a perfect platform for all kinds of family fun. For a comfy stay near the Buffalo Rec Area on the Buffallo River the Starlight Cabin cannot be beat!

Peaceful and Practical

Peace and quiet is the attraction here. The cabin is nicely laid out and decorated. A great place to view the stars. The river is close by but expect a little drive to get to things like groceries or eating places. The nearby towns have a lot of unique shops. Overall this has been one of my favorite stays and I’d definitely stay there again.

Laura and Miles were by far the best hosts that we have ever had the pleasure of staying with. The cabin was clean, very well appointed done to the farm fresh eggs and watermelon. Every detail was well thought out and orchestrated. The bed and linens were top notch, just like being at home. The deck was welcoming and grilling was made easy with all the needed tools provided. Wish I could have given it 10 because that’s what it deserves. We highly recommend staying at this coziest and quaint little piece of heaven.

About the host

Hosted by Laura McCarty

Host profile image
Miles and Laura McCarty have been in love with the Arkansas Ozarks since they were teenagers. Growing up in southeast Arkansas, they savored every opportunity to run away and float the Buffalo River, camp, and explore the wondrous caves. Although they had moved away from Arkansas and wandered near and far over the years, they still missed the Natural State. In 2008, on a lark, they hit the road with their daughter, Sarah, over Labor Day Weekend to view a few properties that whimsical searches on the internet revealed. They were enchanted by the raw beauty of what they now call Three Hollows Farm. They were able to purchase an additional 7 acres and finished out Starlight Cabin. It took seven years before they were able to move from Austin, Texas to their slice of heaven. The journey has just begun.
