Great place to stay. Sitting on the porch in the evening, going down to the river, all great. We had a thunderstorm on Saturday, and watching the mist coming up from the river and obscuring the mountains was awesome.

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 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
