I had a wonderful time with my boyfriend and dog exploring the Buffalo River region while staying in this cabin. The property is in a fantastic location and the hosts provided so much attention to detail, from wood for the firepit to coffee and s'mores makings. Communication was great, and check-in and check-out were easy. I would definitely go again and highly recommend it!

Blue Canoe Cabin was a wonderful gem in the wilderness. We had a great time at the cabin, playing horseshoes and exploring the property. The wildlife was an amazing to view and hearing all the wild birds was awesome. We took the scenic roads of Hwy 7 and 123. They were so much fun to drive. The views were amazing. The cabin has everything that you will need for any stay. Thank you again for letting us stay at your property. We so truly enjoyed ourselves

We absolutely loved our stay at blue canoe cabin. It was so incredibly clean. Check in directions we’re clear and easy and the owners were so helpful. They had the perfect touches to the cabin that made our trip even more special. The location is perfect for outdoor activities. You are close to the buffalo river, as well as a short drive from Branson and other attractions. There are many hikes within walking distance of the cabin. If I could give 10 stars I would!

A beautful peice of open property in the Ozarks, with a light-filled cabin, both immaculate, we felt at home. The beautiful Autumn colors, the stars, the leaves, the natural quiet.

This place has everything you need and every detail is laid out so and very user friendly. Although it has a rustic look, the place is a newer custom build with old materials that you can learn about from the home’s history book. The property is large and gives you a lot of privacy and security with a gate at the road. The back of the property connects to the buffalo national forest and trails. Both the home and pavilion have amazing views of hills in the distance. Too much details to list. Perfect place to stay while visiting the river or just to escape and have a cozy private place. My kids were sad their was no Wi-Fi but they needed a break from that.

It’s hard to imagine a better VRBO experience. The place looks even nicer than the pictures. It’s isolated, clean, newly renovated, and beautiful. David (the host) is responsive and a great resource for information about the area. This is the difference in renting from a host instead of hotel. Plenty of gorgeous nature in all directions.

I hesitate leaving a review that uses the word “perfect” because I am greedy and want this cabin to be available to us for our next visit! Seriously-this home helped create the best memories and was clearly designed for a break from the busy hubbub and is ideal for family bonding. Even though the youngest age was 16 in our group, this home is good for all ages, with handicap accessible features throughout and games and dvds for all ages. Very fun loft area with a full bed and sofa sleeper. Thoughtful/artistic decor and design. Grilling/eating under the pavilion, sipping early morning coffee on the porch, hiking from the property, close access to kayaking, watching the stars and making s’mores (thank you for the kit) around the fire pit, falling asleep to the clear sky from the loft windows, hearing nothing but the rustle of leaves and wildlife-this place is perfect. The hosts could not have done a better job with communication and setting the home up for fun and functionality-even with a recycling bin, washer/dryer, racks for our shoes so we didn’t track in the wilderness-they thought of everything. Please don’t rent this VRBO if you are the kind of person who doesn’t put your grocery cart up-it is far too exceptional to be disrespected and the owners are fantastic people. We hadn’t even left before my family started planning the next visit. Absolutely lovely in every way.

The cabin is adorable. So many personal touches. The star viewing at night was incredible! So much to do in the national forest. The cabin owner was very informative about the things to do and what to look for in the area. We would absolutely go back!
