Cozy and clean

We were in town for a wedding and wanted a unique place to stay. This place fit the bill. Very short drive to Big Spring and the Current River. We really enjoyed watching the hummingbirds on the property. We were well taken care of and all our needs were met. Also a beautiful view! I wouldn’t mind staying here again.

Beautiful place

We had a wonderful time staying here. The views were amazing. It was so relaxing and peaceful to sit outside and look out at the view. The place had everything we could ever need and more. We picked this place mainly because it was dog friendly and we couldn’t have been happier. For a place that allows dogs I couldn’t find evidence of another dog being there. The place was very clean. Definitely would come back again!

Awesome Destination

Our 2nd time around for this magnificent place. The view is incredible and words do not do it Justice. The apartment has everything you need if you just want to hang there, or some nice local places to dine out as well. Visiting surrounding towns within a half hour of Van Buren is very doable and Big Spring is amazing. We WILL be back!!

Gem Overlooking VB, Current River in the Distance

Great spot for a scenic view overlooking the small town of Van Buren along along with section of the beautiful Current River and the surrounding Ozarks hills. The cabin has plenty of space with all the comforts and quick access Big Spring and town. You can snap a picture of groundhog and the humming birds when they show to feed. This cabin in located along Skyline Drive which provides a super place for anyone who wants to take a jog or walk. Highly recommend this cabin for your next trip to the Van Buren - Big Spring - Ozark Scenic Riverways area.

Beautiful View!

This was our second time staying here for a girl's weekend getaway. We LOVE the view! It is so peaceful next to nature and located in a quiet area. The internet was out when we arrived, but the owners communicated that to us before we checked-in and let us know when it was back up. The new furniture was a welcome surprise from the last time we visited. Great little spot to stay for the value!

Absolutely Beautiful View

My husband and I came up here for a relaxing weekend and that is exactly what we got the apartment was clean had all furnished needs for the weekend. The view was amazing from the porch, and it was very close to all amenities in town. We took our side-by-side on a trailer, unaware of the parking situation, and the people were so friendly about making sure we were accommodated. It was just a bonus to our trip. We will definitely be booking here again in the very near future!

So very peaceful and one cheeky racoon

The apartment was as advertised. It was tidy and unpretentious. It was peaceful. Being from California, my other half was confused by the well pump. I awoke to silence because that is what woke me. The fog over the valley with the sunrise was captivating. Being people who prefer to cook over eating take away, we attracted some small woodland creatures, that happens in the country. Will love to experience it again.
