This was the second time that I stayed here. I absolutely love this place! It is tucked away on a private driveway. Very peaceful and quiet. It is close to everything. I just wish I could could stay here longer! Thank you so much

I booked this property for my parents and they absolutely loved it. It was well appointed and secluded. Deer grazed in the yard in the mornings. The host was was super easy to contact and helped them navigate the directions. My parents had an incredible time.

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!

We have stayed at many places and we totally would rank this one at the top. It’s so private and peaceful. It’s the first time we’ve not even wanted to go out and eat. We bought food to cook at the cabin. Absolutely loved it all. And it’s just minutes from Ponca. And we seen deer and all sorts of birds in the yard. Rank this place a 10 outta 10!!

It was a perfect place to spend our honeymoon, so secluded and peaceful. We enjoyed it very much! My bride and I will never forget our first 3 nights together as a married couple at this cabin, so special. God is very kind! The property manager was great to deal with, my bride accidentally left her bridal bouquet hanging behind the door, and we let the owner know, and she had her housekeeper find it so she could get it mailed to us, very nice lady. Thanks for everything!

The cabin is most certainly a cabin in the woods. That is accurate. It is actually a nice location... the road is a 1- way, winding gravel road and the cabin is tucked back into a pretty wooded area. However, the picture of the well kept grounds in front of the cabin is NOT accurate. There were no flowers & it was weedy. The furniture is old and uncomfortable. The queen bed upstairs is so loud and squeaky that it wakes you up if you even slightly move in your sleep. The mattress is uncomfortable at best. The downstairs daybed has a broken frame; we discovered it by just bumping in to it. We were afraid to even sit on it. The couch & chairs are old & worn. The 2 kitchen chairs are wicker with no cushions. The was just nowhere to sit, relax and be comfortable. The upstairs bathroom where the queen bed is located is super tiny. It contains a washer and you can barely squeeze in to where the toilet is. The shower is so small, you have to turn around with your arms either up in the air or completely down at your side. I couldn't even bend over to shave my legs, there was no room. My husband and I are both of average stature and build. We are not obese, nor are we super thin. Just average. We had our dogs with us because it was listed as pet friendly. I must say it was not pet conducive. There was no grass because it was a wooded area and since the master bed is upstairs, you have to go down about 20 stairs with your pet before you can take them out. It just needs to be updated.

The pictures and description are all on point. The place was tucked away, beautiful and relaxing. It's a great jumping off point for the many outdoor activities or an excellent hideaway to spend some peaceful hours. Great screened in porch, fire pit, and room to roam. I was nervous from some of the reviews about finding the location and making the drive down the driveway, but I assure you that the drive is exactly where the owner describes. You just need to look for the street sign with the number. I made it down the driveway just fine in my little Honda Fit with no worries.

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!

This year, since we have an infant, we decided to go the cabin route for the family summer campout, and this property did not disappoint! It was absolutely gorgeous. The house was adorable, and the land around it was so fun to explore! Our dog actually refused to leave the house when we were packing up the car! The screened porch was our favorite thing - getting to hang out in the mornings and enjoy the wildlife was a perfect start to the day! It’s super close to Kyle’s Landing campground, so we were able to meet up with the rest of the extended family so easily for the days’ activities. We love it’s dog friendly and we will definitely be back! I can’t recommend this place enough.

We had some trouble finding the cabin. Once we did, we were happy that we had our SUV rather than our sedan as the dirt road to the cabin is a little rough, rutted and crosses a tiny stream. Luckily it didn’t rain during our stay. We loved all the space the cabin had to offer, as well as the full kitchen, and washer and dryer. The bed was especially comfortable. The location was perfect and close to all the hiking and kayaking we wanted to do. At the end of each day, we sat out in the screened porch listening to the birds sing or reading a book. It was a special treat to see the nesting scarlet tanagers right outside our windows. The cabin is rustic, but we did enjoy our 4 night stay.

Beautiful secluded cabin in the woods. It has a dirt road getting to it with a few spots that would need to be avoided but was not hard to get to in my Kia soul. Nice screened in porch with a fan. Comfortable bed upstairs. Windows everywhere for a nice view of the forest that my dog really enjoyed as well as us. We left the windows open and sat and listened to birds all day. The cabin was clean and cozy. We had a great weekend!

This place feels like home when you walk in and need a break from the city the traffic the noise and dirty air. All the windows open to let that fresh mountain air in and let the stress out! Absolutely beautiful place. The WiFi works but leave it off. You need to decompress and unwind. The porch is fantastic. My fur babies loved it! I cannot wait to come back! The directions are easy to follow. I found that all the lights work. And everything in the house works well. Bring coffee wine and yourself and let the relaxation begin.

I will say Jasper Arkansas is awesome. My wife and I loved hiking here. There’s plenty of trails near this cabin. Few down sides to the cabin are security, doors not shutting all the way, being able to hear everything outside the cabin, and decor in the house. Besides that we loved the spot, being basically alone out there, the wifi worked fine, and the location was great. Overall the trip was great, but I did have trouble sleeping .

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!!

We really enjoyed the stay at the property. The kitchen was well stocked with most everything you should need for a short stay. It has a small outdoor grill which is all we needed for two people. The only thing that would be a concern if there is a lot of rain is the road down to the property. It rained about one inch while we were there and did not have a problem getting in and out. It is a very quiet property with being the only house on the road and is well off the main road. Loved the screened in porch to sit outside and enjoy nature..

Eclectic cabin in a really remote area, which is what I planned since this was a hiking trip. I did not feel unsafe, and slept upstairs in the loft area which was like sleeping in a neat treehouse. I appreciated all of the little things like a nice coffeemaker complete w/filters and coffee. Lots of fluffy soft towels, and a flat screen smart TV with streaming services. Brought a citronella candle so I could sit outside BUT I didn't need it because of the nice screened in porch. One word of caution, the "driveway" down to the cabin is a bit treacherous. I have a smaller hatchback and would have been very concerned if it stormed while I was there, due to parts of the road looking like they've been washed out and you cross a (dry at this time)low creek just before getting to the cabin, I would have not been sure my car would have made it. I am relieved my car didn't sustain any damage on this road, so that's just a heads up if you have a vehicle like mine. My sister stayed down the way in Jasper at another VRBO and had constant traffic noise all night, so maybe that long, rough dirt driveway was worth it to escape the traffic! It was a wonderful respite.

The cabin was adorable, had everything we wanted, very secluded and quiet. Our only gripe was there were cob webs so bad in the screened porch that we were unable to take advantage of it. The inside was clean other than the cob webs under every piece of furniture and in the corners. If there was a broom available I would have swept them up myself so we could use the porch and get them out from under the furniture.
