went to hawks bill crag, went through Ponca hoping to see some Elk. some some deer hitting the acorns around the cabin. just a great relaxing weekend. You need to bring a small fishing rod.

The host was most accommodating in every way. It was as if the property, which is beautiful, belonged to us. It has long vistas in 360 degrees with abundant wildlife. It is well maintained and being land owners ourselves, takes a lot of work. Absolutely recommend the host and we will return God giving us the chance.

To potential visitors: Imagine being surrounded by rolling hills accented with a spring-fed pond and trees to make super-relaxing breezy sounds... birds chirping during the day, frogs croaking in the distance at night. At night my wife and I enjoyed a hot tub under a clear sky and watched shooting stars while lightning bugs glittered in the darkness above the grass. Too much goodness to write before losing you. Needless to say, we thoroughly enjoyed our single night there.
To our host: My wife and I probably added three or four months to our lives with that one recharge. Thank you for sharing your wonderful property!

Overall it was a great experience. The surrounding area was beautiful and the location of the cabin was great. Check in process was easy and the owner was extremely helpful. I thought the overall price was okay, but I did feel like the cabin and the furniture was a little dated. We stayed for two nights and enjoyed the area.

While we ended up switching from the Ozk Ranch to the Ozk Fly Away Cabin for these dates I would like to leave a thankful review to the Host Mr Hansen. He was very quick to respond to our changes and requests that it really made our trip much more enjoyable. I sure appreciate all the extra help he did to accommodate our family. We were able to enjoy staying at the other cabin for the same dates and that worked out great for our situation, Thank you again! We made some amazing memories in Ponca and the drive was just beautiful!

We greatly enjoyed our stay and feel everything was as described. The host has you set up for success in most every area.
The hot tub was not working during our stay, but we weren’t really planning to use it anyways. While the kitchen was very well stocked there was no dish soap or dish brush. We used the grill every day and had plenty of propane. There was not a second tank as described.
We stayed in early/mid April, know that the front bushes homed honey bees and many wasp live in the front rocks. We had no issue with them but good to know they’re right there.
We’d welcome a trip back for sure.

Absolutely beautiful property secluded in the mountains. No cell phone service but the wifi worked great! I downloaded offline maps to help me navigate to the nearest town half an hour away. Only negative I could find was there was only 1 heater and it was a chilly November night outside so I would probably add a second heating unit for the really cold months. Overall I would say 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Really felt the magic of nature at this location on a beautiful hill with surrounding trees and changing autumn leaves, pastel skies at sunset, so many stars at night, and a view of the sunrise. The cabin was super comfy, cozy, clean, and relaxing and we loved the big windows. Our dog loved roaming the big grassy outdoor space!! Truly beautiful and wish we could have stayed longer!

This was a great place. It had everything you needed for your stay. It is a perfect location as it is tucked away but yet only 4 miles to Ponca. Very clean and the property manager was easy to communicate with. It was beautiful spot to do day hikes, eat locally and dark sky photography. Definitely will stay here again.

We had an amazing time here. The location was perfectly secluded and quiet. Next time we’ll definitely make sure we bring food for every meal since the closest town was about 20 or so minutes away (the drive there was beautiful and easy). Probably our favorite features were waking up and watching the sun rise from the bedroom window and how perfect the night sky views were from the hot tub. Only suggestions would be more water pressure in the shower.

Super bowl and valentines
I was able to convince my significant other to sneak away during the Super Bowl this year for Valentine’s Day since I knew there was a small TV and wifi. We ended up lugging along our flatscreen and hooked up to their wifi which wasn’t perfect but we were able to watch a lot of the game. We had our own streaming service we logged into but there were multiple apps available on their small tv you could log into if you have them. Hot tub was so nice to have, the cover is ripped but manageable. Overall loved our stay and we would love to go back.

The views were great. Inside was very clean. The outside deck could use sweeping. There was dried mud on part of the deck. No big deal. The cover for the hot tub was broken which made it a little difficult getting off and on. The shower had very low water pressure which made it more difficult to rinse off. Also, the website stated that they provide salt and there was none. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.

We enjoyed the wonderful view and selclucion that this place had to offer. It's also close to the Buffalo River area where we enjoyed a hike to the Glory Hole.

First, the kitchen was perfectly stocked with utensils, pots, pans, etc. Next the hot tub was brilliant! Third, location was stunning, was totally private and secluded. We had everything we needed. It was actually only 20 min into town (harrison) so it was also convenient. Loved it so much we added on a night. Will definitely be back.

The setting of the cabin is beautiful. Really enjoyed the peace and quiet. The hot tub on the deck was a lot of fun. Saw several deer grazing in the field below the cabin. Also Hansen was responsive to all communication. The only negative I had was that the cleaners showed up an hour and half early on the day we were leaving and just hung out in their cars just above the cabin until we left. It really unsettled us at first until we figured out who it was since the location is so private and we didn't expect to see anyone out there. They had to drive right in front of the cabin to get to the hill above the pond where they parked. I thought it was unprofessional and it felt like we were being rushed. Hansen said he would "have a discussion with the cleaner " and apologized. Otherwise I would definitely recommend this place.

OZK Ranch was beautiful from every angle! My husband and I enjoyed the beautiful sunset and sunrise. We only stayed one night but will definitely be back! We enjoyed a nice fire at night while hearing deer crunch the leaves in the field. The house was very clean and neat! Great place!
