What a wonderful place! We stayed two nights. We did a day trip on the Buffalo so it was perfectly situated close to BOC and the put in and take out. The next morning we hiked Lost Valley, which was also close. Pretty cool to be able to stay in such a nice place within the national park. I booked it with my 80 year old mother in mind and wanted something easily accessible for her. She didn't end up coming but we plan to be back with her in the future. Comfortable beds, too.

We loved the convenience to the Elk.Everything was clean. It was equipped with anything we needed. Communication was great with host but we needed nothing during our stay. Would definitely stay here again. We would plan better though as there it's really remote from shopping or eating establishments .

We had an amazing time during our quick weekend stay in the Boxley Valley. First thing I will say is that the host(s) are top notch good people. We had all sorts of problems getting along our 6 hour journey there and the hosts were able to go above and beyond for all the accommodation we ended up needing. The property is beautiful and secluded(tucked up in to a "mountainside"). There were endless places for the kids to safely explore right on site including a dry creek bed, open grassy areas, wooded areas, etc. It rained quite a bit one day we were there and sitting out on either porch was very peaceful and enjoyable. The cabin itself has basic accommodations and fit our family of 5 just right. 4 minutes drive from Lost Valley trail which was our main destination on this trip and well worth the day we took to explore it. 10/10 would recommend both the host and the cabin and we will be back to stay again some day!

We loved the privacy of the cabin and the woods to walk in. We could let our dogs run loose and play. The entire house was clean and very nice.
Our dogs loved running on the property and the view was spectacular! It was also convenient to where the elk usually were, but unfortunately, the elk were not very cooperative this year

Wonderful location. Close to many main hiking trails and waterfalls. We have had bad experiences at rentals but this one was great! Very clean which is important to me. The view was amazing! Elk in the evenings across the street and cows in the morning. Tips for future renters: bring binoculars and a good camera if wanting to get elk pictures. My iPhone couldn’t handle zooming in far enough. Bring cards and board games if wanting entertainment besides tv. Great place and would stay again!!

Gorgeous escape from the speed of regular life

This cabin is just peaceful. It's very well maintained, house decor is circa the 90's and gives the nostalgic feeling of home. The surrounding area is GORGEOUS. The Buffalo River is an amazing float, and the cows across the street offer a peaceful pastoral view from the front porch. There is no cell phone service, but with the quite and wifi it is not missed.
