The Ranch House at Sky Hawk Ridge, a 185-Acre Refuge, ONE MILE to Buffalo River
About this farm stay rental
Nestled in Buffalo River, this lovely farm stay for $249 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. ESCAPE THE CROWDS to the Great Outdoors! Sky Hawk Ridge is place of extraordinary beauty, a 185-acre natural refuge at the gateway to Buffalo River National Park. This spacious vacation home is sited on a high ridge bordering the park, with acres of lawn and groves of stately trees all around. Wide front and back porches afford gorgeous sunrise and sunset views. There’s a small pond in front. THE LAND When you stay at Sky Hawk Ridge, you won't stay inside for long. Roam the land and discover the wonders of this beautiful landscape. Enjoy misty morning walks through dew-covered fields. When you walk along Sky Hawk's long ridge, you see layered green hillsides and distant blue ridge lines across the Buffalo River Valley, rolling meadows with sentinel oaks, cattle grazing in lush pastures, deep green woods -- nature's beauty at every turn. Explore miles of private trails that wind through dense forests and beside crystal streams. Wildlife is everywhere -- deer, turkey, fox, owls, songbirds, and all sorts of woodland creatures. Be dazzled by spring flowers, blue summer skies, rich fall colors, or foggy winter mornings. Sky Hawk Ridge is a nature-lover's paradise all year long. LOCATION Sky Hawk is just off US 65 on the north side of the Buffalo River. Restaurants, canoe rentals and river access points at Grinders Ferry, Gilbert and Tyler Bend are less than ten minutes away, but at Sky Hawk you’re secluded and surrounded by natural beauty -- away from it all. The entrance is on the Gilbert Road (Hwy. 333), just 0.4 mile east of US 65. This cabin is at the end of the road, about 3/4 mile from the entry. The Sky Hawk property has 3/4 mile of park frontage, and the Buffalo River Trail is just steps from the property corner. The park trail leads a mile or so downhill to a long, wide gravel bar at Shine Eye Bluff -- the perfect spot to picnic, swim, fish or enjoy a lazy afternoon. (Shine Eye is also accessible by road, a five-minute drive.) ACCOMMODATIONS Built in 2008, the “Ranch House” has a relaxed, western vibe. Cowhide rugs, western and wildlife art, rustic wood finishes, and stained concrete floors set a laid-back tone. With over 1500 square feet of living area, the home is spacious, warm, and inviting, the perfect gathering place for family and friends. There’s a large, vaulted great room with seating for eight, a long dining table, and four barstools around a central kitchen island. Flanking the great room are two roomy bedroom suites, each with its own bath. The house is equipped with a washer and dryer, full-size appliances (but no dishwasher), cooking utensils and dishes, central heat and air conditioning, ceiling fans, and a small gas fireplace in the living room for extra warmth on cold nights. It is meticulously maintained and sparkling clean. There are three other vacation homes at Sky Hawk Ridge. Refer to VRBO listings 2844541, 1468267 and 3613801 for more information. Houses are 500-1,200 feet apart, allowing plenty of separation for everyone's privacy. The land is for all to enjoy, so feel free to discover what lies around the bend. Sky Hawk Ridge has the finest vacation homes anywhere near the Buffalo River. It's at the center of everything but peaceful and secluded. 185 acres of natural beauty are yours to explore. You will love this place! Book your vacation today.

We had a wonderful time here! Very peaceful. We enjoyed many hikes, both on and off the property, and beautiful views of the river. Hope to come back and visit in the Summer. We brought our dog and he loved being able to run freely! He doesn’t get to do that at home in the city. Will most certainly revisit.

We wanted to explore the Buffalo River and surrounding area with our teenage daughters. The cabin was a very convenient location if you want to float the Buffalo River. It was a 7 minute drive to the outfitter we got our kayak rental from. We also had a great time exploring the hiking trails on the property with our girls and our dog. The views from the back porch swing were amazing and we had some fun family horseshoe games throughout our stay.

Exceptional. Complete privacy - beautiful property. It is your own park to explore with trails that border Buffalo River property. Owners fantastic to work with. Simply wonderful. Calming. Stars. Fire.

Property is exactly as described. Hosts provided everything you would need to enjoy your stay. House was exceptionally clean and the property was well maintained.
Do your research on the near by trails if you plan on bringing your four legged kids, some of the trails did not allow dogs. Regardless would stay again, just because of the house and how quiet the surrounding area is.
Thanks

I threw this trip together kinda last minute when my son’s school scheduled a few days for an early fall break. My family is originally from the area so it’s always nice to come back and reconnect.
This trip I had criteria to plan for- I needed a place that permitted my two dogs and had Satellite TV/Internet service (Red River Rivalry game). We also wanted to be within driving distance to Table Rock, Branson and Mountain Home for planned day trips.
Our stay was perfect, the sprawling property with trails to explore was a bonus. The last day drinking coffee on the porch we saw a whitetail buck chasing a group of does across the field. The cabin and accommodations were as advertised and very comfortable. The owners and care takers are great hosts so we will be coming back and definitely give the property a five star rating.

We have stayed at Sky Hawk on multiple occasions and just love it! It is this special little piece of the world filled with calm and fun. It is our dogs favorite place too! The house is always well taken care of and clean. The property managers are very responsive and have always addressed any questions quickly. We look forward to coming back year after year.

Sky Hawk is the best place to stay on the Buffalo National River. We've been coming to the Buffalo for years, and Sky Hawk is the cleanest, most secluded, most beautiful property out there. Thank you to Donna and her team for the accomodations

We look forward to our stay here every year. This is our 4th year to stay at Sky Hawk Ridge. We rent 2 cabins and are excited to be able to rent more since we have a big group that floats. Donna and Ron are the best! Can't say enough great things about the cabins, property, hospitality, location, view, etc etc!

We loved the simplicity of our stay. Beautiful location. Easy to get to and from other cabins that friends were staying in but still private enough! Donna was very responsive to any questions we had! Would definitely go back

My family loved this cabin! The space was perfect for us and the kitchen was very functional. The trails were lovely, we hiked or biked every day. This is a dreamy part of the world and a lovely place to enjoy it.
There is a great access to picnic on the river right down the road.
I highly recommend taking the time to drive to Leslie, Ar for fresh bread, shops and local treats. It’s a great town.

We have stayed at this property multiple times and enjoyed it immensely. Great location away from the masses. Walking trails, outdoor fire pit, reading, or just porch sitting. Good times!

We absolutely loved this beautiful cabin, its amenities and features, the outdoor spaces, and its location. We balanced our time between exploring the property itself, relaxing around the firepit or on the porches and heading into nearby areas including Blanchard Caverns and the cute town of Leslie. The cabin was beautifully furnished and appointed. Things were included that are rarely at a rented property, like ziplock bags or laundry detergent. Communication was easy and responsive. We definitely want to come back!

This was our second stay at Sky Hawk and we enjoyed it very much. Can’t say enough about how well maintained the cabin and the property is. Ron was very helpful about floating advice on the Buffalo River. Can’t wait to return.

This place was clean and beautiful…. If your looking for a place that isn’t full tourist and just want to relax this is it. The short drives to different spots of the Buffalo River were perfect. It a great stay and we loved being able to let our pup run around.

Repeat of our last stay in May.
Last May we stayed a week at the ranch. We stayed again this past week in July. Weather was hot but a cool breeze was evident. Swimming in the Buffalo was grand. Already booked for November! We want to become regulars.

Beautiful cabin and property. Our cabin had the perfect layout with two spacious bedrooms with each having a private bathroom. I've stayed in different parts of the country and this cabin by far was the best stocked cabin I've rented. Property had a completely private field and walking trails for my dogs, the dogs absolutely loved the property.
Sitting on the porch and just taking in the beautiful countryside was relaxing and rejuvenating.
I also have to highly recommend whoever cleans this cabin, it is absolutely spotless.
My daughter and granddaughter thoroughly enjoyed the stay and we had a great time together and look forward to going back!

Great 4th weekend at SkyHawk Ridge
This was a great experience for my family. We stayed at the ranch house and it was perfect for my crew. I want to thank Donna for inviting us to the church fish fry as soon as we arrived. We loved getting to meet the local people, everyone was great. The house was perfect. It was clean. The decor was great and it had everything you need to cook, play, and relax. The property was gorgeous as well. The beds are great too. If you want a first class experience, book a stay at SkyHawk Ridge.

This property was absolutely breathtaking!! Beautiful scenery! Our favorite time was sitting on the back porch watching the lightening bugs at night. The rental was rustic and comfortable. Had all the amenities we needed and more. While there are other rentals on the property, all of them are spaced enough apart to still feel secluded. Great location in between Gilbert and Grinders Ferry where we were able to enjoy both spots on the Buffalo National River. Also very close to the main highway, so easy to travel to nearby towns or even Branson. We definitely plan to be back in the future!

What can we say that all the previous reviews haven’t already said??! The property was perfect. Immaculate and peaceful. We explored areas in all directions from Sky Hawk. The dog loved it. We loved it! Great access to many rivers creeks and State parks. Just perfect! A very warm and sincere thank you to Mrs and Mr Grinder. Although the house left us needing for nothing they made us feel at home and confident that they were a text away if we did. It’s warm genuine folks like them that made our stay at Sky Hawk so memorable.
