About this property

Secluded Cabin in the Forest

Merlyn's Cabin has an open floor plan with queen sized bed upstairs and two twins downstairs. 2 Bathrooms--one up and one down both with showers. Fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher. All linens are furnished. An efficient heat pump provides comfortable climate control. There is a wonderful screened porch where you can
enjoy a respite after hiking or rock climbing. I love starting the day on the porch with a cup of coffee and watching the many species of birds that are in the forest surrounding the cabin.

Wonderful stay!

Needed a place to shut down for awhile and we couldn't have found a better place! Close to The Lost Valley and Smith creek Preserve... yet the cabin is quiet and secluded. It was exactly what we were looking for.

Secluded and tranquil

These was such a perfect place to spend a weekend and it had all the touches of home. Enjoyed having the option to grill or use the fire pit, tons of trees surrounding the property - perfect to throw a hammock up and enjoy the sounds of nature!

Nice cabin and setting

Very nice secluded place to stay. The cabin was clean and cozy. The screened in porch was nice to sit in and drink coffee and watch the deer. Plenty of towels and extra linens and pillows. The bed was comfy as well. We will hopefully stay here again!

Perfect Ozark retreat

This is a great place. It’s perfectly situated between Ponca and Jasper and just uphill from Kyle’s Landing. Lots of wildlife! We watched and listened to barred owls from the screened-in porch. Far enough off the highway to feel secluded too.

Hikers

We came to do some hiking in the Ozarks and simply get away for a bit, and catch up. This cabin is exactly what it appears to be and is super convenient to town and hiking trails. The fire pit was a nice respite in the evenings. Just loved everything about this property.

Beautiful secluded location

Spent four nights here while in town for a dirt bike race, and me and my family really enjoyed our stay. The cabin had everything we needed, AC worked well and the location was great. Jasper is just down the road for groceries or food, and there are so many hiking trails and amazing waterfalls within a 30 minute drive of the cabin, including Hammerschmidt Falls which is literally just a mile and half down the road.

Cozy little cabin in the woods

Very private, secluded cabin - beautiful setting in the woods w/two little streams running along either side. It was cold when we were there - we appreciated all the extra blankets and the little electric fireplace...so peaceful sitting by that warmth and looking out the big picture windows! Thank you for a wonderful, relaxing break!!

About the host

Hosted by Merlyn Lazorow

Host profile image
I am a retired art and design teacher. This property is part of my grandfather Spencer's Homestead. The land has been in the family for four generations.

Why they chose this property

I built this cabin as a retreat from my home in Kansas City. I treated it as an art project. The colors are vibrant and warm. The downstairs has windows across the living room and the upstairs was referred to a guest as "like being in a treehouse .' I like to leave the windows open at night and hear the sounds of the forest.

What makes this property unique

Merlyn's lcabin has a great location. It is very private, no close neighbors and only a quarter of a mile from the state highway 74. Perfectly located 5 miles from Jasper and only a short distance to the Buffalo River.
