The Lily Pad, headwaters of Eden Falls
About this house rental
Nestled in Buffalo River, this attractive house for $90 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. Enjoy this cozy cabin nestled in the heart of the Ozarks on a 100-acre farm and 3 acre fishing pond. Lily Pad is centrally located for all your upper Buffalo River activities. All the perks of a national park can be sought along with the joys of living on a farm. Watch granny milk each morning and enjoy the butter, eggs, and meat grown right here. This cabin comes with a yard of your own, a fire pit (firewood 5$ an armload), an ice maker, a smart tv with free Wi-Fi, a charcoal grill, and modern plumbing to make this little cabin your home away from home. Directions- Take Firetower road off of highway 43. Go exactly 3.5 miles and turn left on Crossroads road. Pass Crossroads church and stay straight, (do not take Stoverville to the left directly after the church, it takes you to Ponca the back way, down the mountain). Bring your fishing pole for the pond and do not forget to ask about farm raised products including beef, butter, eggs, and more! We do have Pyrenees dogs who watch over the farm, they are harmless and part of the landscape.

Traveling down the long drive to the cabin you'll see cows, hillsides, a small church and cemetery, and probably two Great Pyrenees. The pond is right out the front door. The cabin is cozy, but everything you need is outside- a firepit, a grill and a clean picnic table. There's good wi-fi and hot water for a great shower (although the shower itself is very small). The host is very responsive and helpful. I highly recommend this cabin for a remote getaway.

Our stay was so pleasant and the property was beautiful! We enjoyed all the amenities of the Lily Pad such as the lake and the mountaintop view, and there was a lot to do nearby. BOC has a great website with lots of info. It was very helpful to have a stovetop and oven, as many cabins do not! There was no cell service, but the Wi-Fi worked well for everyday use. Connie was very nice to offer us farm-fresh eggs and beef from the livestock. The dogs on the property, Pearl and Leo, were so sweet with guests and visited us every morning. Overall, we had a great time and would love to come back and stay here again!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay. Connie was so very nice and very kind with letting us roam her land! The cabin was just perfect for the two of us. We enjoyed the peacefulness and quiet of the farm! Leo and Pearl were super sweet! (Connie’s Pyrenees)

We enjoyed our Christmas stay at the Lily Pad. The pond was frozen over and there was still snow on the ground when we arrived and it made for pretty view. The dogs were super friendly. It was just a short drive down the mountain to Boxley Valley to see the elk. The cabin was cozy and warm even with the crazy below average temperatures. I would highly recommend the Lily Pad.

My husband and I really needed to get away and relax. Everything was perfect for us. The view was beautiful and loved the nightly check from the dogs. I'm already ready to go back.

The Lily Pad was an excellent escape from the daily grind. It was clean and homey. The farm dogs come and visit every morning to say hi. We really enjoyed waking up, drink coffee on the porch and then fishing in the farm pond right outside the front porch. We both caught bass and sun perch. The owners are kind and have assorted farm fresh produce to purchase and eat at the main house.
This cabin is close to Lost Valley, Steel Creek and Kyle’s Landing. Which makes is great if you are going to float the famous Buffalo River.
We will definitely be going back to the Lily Pad for another escape!

This is a great place for a little get away. Very peaceful and quiet. You still have access to internet though if you want it. Cabin was stocked with all the essentials that you need. Lots of great hiking and waterfalls close by to go to. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate but we were still able to get a couple of hikes in and a little fishing, just not as much as we would have liked, maybe next time. We still had a great time though.

We were looking for a quiet getaway (preferably on a farm) to celebrate our anniversary, and the Clark family exceeded our expectations! The cabin had everything we needed, and we loved having access to the lake for fishing, Connie even brought us some worms she dug up for us to use as bait. We appreciated her company and hearing her family stories. The views were awe-inspiring. The fresh meat made the best steaks we’ve ever had, and the fresh eggs can’t be beat! We plan to go back and stay here again and hopefully bring some family with us!

Very remote location
Be ready to drive on a very remote rural road for your rustic senic cabin experience. Beautiful farm land with upclose personal views of farm animals.

Relaxing weekend
My wife and I had a very relaxing and fun weekend. The cabin was very clean and well kept. We bought meat and eggs from the property owner (very tasty and cheaper than the grocery store) and went on a nice hike. Loved the hiking! My wife fell in love with the two very friendly dogs. I would definitely stay again!!

Lily Pad cabin was pretty much as advertised and pictured. It was clean and fresh and well appointed. It is small or cozy, but the front porch offers our kind of extra space, looking out over the pond.

The cabin was great. Perfect for our family of 4. My 5 yr old.slept in an air mattress we brought and my son got the bed on main floor. Me and my husband slept in the loft. The host ran out of beef so we couldn't buy any of their farm raised beef and the laundry wasn't hooked up as advertised which was a little disappointing, but it was a great location for our day trips in the surrounding area. The pond was really nice and they provided kayaks to use. The stargazing was amazing.

We stayed at The Lily Pad May 20-23, 2021. It was just as I had imagined it. Perfect for my husband and I, loft upstairs would be nice for kids. There is an AC unit as well as a ceiling fan to keep air moving during hotter weather. The gravel road is pretty rough, nothing the owner can do anything about. I'm pretty sure it's maintained by the county. So, definitely need a 4-wheel drive vehicle rather than a smaller car. This is a working farm and there are cows free-range grazing as well as sheep, a goat and chickens. It's really neat! There is another cabin on the property that is a VRBO listing and both are very similar. This one overlooks a pond, the other overlooks a view into the valley. Both are awesome, hard to pick which one is better! If you are into challenging hikes to great sites (waterfalls or amazing views), check out the trails in the area. There are many within 15 minutes of this cabin. Just search for things to do around Ponca, AR and you'll see what options there are!
