We have been making bi-annual trips to the Buffalo River area in search of waterfalls, rock formations, and the deepest valleys. During this visit, we enjoyed our stay at a cozy Buffalo River cabin known as the Buffalo River Cottage. This secluded cabin in Arkansas served as a perfect base camp, allowing us to return just before sunset to unwind in the hot tub with mountain views. It was the ideal setting to soak in the beauty of nature while we refueled and recharged our batteries. The cabin was equipped with everything one could need for comfort during our short-term rental, making it a fantastic choice for a romantic getaway in Arkansas or a cozy Ozarks mountain getaway.

Thank you for sharing your amazing Buffalo River cabin with us again. We will definitely return in the future. You would think that after living in Missouri our entire lives (we are old), we would have visited every Branson hot spot, but that’s not the case. We loved our first trip to the Lost Canyon at Top of the Rock and had a wonderful time. This cozy Ozarks mountain getaway provided the ideal romantic getaway in Arkansas for our short term rental, especially with the hot tub with mountain views that added to our experience. We can’t wait to enjoy the tranquility of your secluded cabin in Arkansas again soon!

I absolutely fell in love with this secluded cabin in Arkansas right from the drive up to the Ozark mountains. The view from the Buffalo River cabin was amazing, and the house was cozy and clean, featuring a hot tub with mountain views and even a little waterfall. We explored many backroads around Erbie, capturing the beauty of our surroundings with about 200 photos from the porch. This cozy Ozarks mountain getaway was the perfect spot for a romantic getaway in Arkansas, and I would go again in a heartbeat. Having grown up in a cabin in the woods, this experience felt like home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our guests find the privacy they are longing for. The porch on the side of the cottage is private. You may hear a vehicle from time to time on a nearby gravel road but, mostly, you hear birds. It is the best!
We try our best to give everyone an earlier check in time if possible. It will depend on the bookings on the calendar. Ask, and we will tell you if it is possible.
The cottage is less than a mile on a gravel road from Arkansas Scenic Hwy 7. It can be rough at times due to the weather, but if you take it slow, it is manageable for most cars and trucks. Low clearance cars (Corvette) or motorcycles are not recommended.

♨️ A large hot tub with a beautiful mountain and sunset view.
You will be 6 minutes to the Daisy Queen (dairy bar) from the cottage. They have plate dinners and the best burgers...and don't forget to get a milkshake or dessert! JJ's Bar and Grill is 30 seconds further and offers delicious burgers. They serve alcohol.
Our welcome book has dining suggestions both north, south, west and east of the cottage! Be sure to check it out! Favorites include Ozark Cafe and Jasper Pizza in Jasper, and the Town Cafe in Harrison.
You will be about 7 minutes from the Dollar General. There is a liquor store and gas station near it. You can get groceries in Harrison, Jasper or Bellefonte. They are going to be a twenty minute drive. Harrison has Walmart, Harps, Aldi, and another local grocery stores.
Definitely, Branson is an hour give or take and an easy drive. Top of the Rock is 45 minutes away and our place would be great for getting to the Thunder Ridge Nature Arena concert and event venue. We have had several guests go to Branson shopping, enjoying a day at Silver Dollar City, the Sights and Sounds Theater and the other multiple activities Branson offers, and then return to the solitude of the cabin after spending the day there.
Many of our guest come stay with us as hub to go to the various trails in the area such as Lost Valley, Cecil Loop Trail, Alum Cove Trail, Roundtop and others. We have two binders in the cottage with hiking information.
Spring is the floating season since the river is rain dependent. We are 10 minutes from Pruitt Landing. This is also a great area to go swimming. The Welcome Book provides contact information for the outfitters in the area. When the Upper Section is too low to float, we tell guest to consider the Middle Section. It is a hour drive from the cottage to the outfitters for that section.
If you like "junkin", there is several flea market and antique stores in the area. We like the "Back Then, Right Now", "Rust, Dust and Wanderlust", and "Lovejoy". Boba Joe's is a bubble tea and dessert shop in the heart of downtown Harrison, AR that is fun to go to on vacation. Also, look in the Welcome Book for information about Farmer's Market days in Jasper and Harrison.
We have had great feedback from guests that have celebrated their anniversaries. Many have come for that reason. We have had one year celebrations up to 40 year ones. We think it is a private, cozy place to relax and reconnect.
