Private home on the bank of the White River

The Big Tatanka is the perfect place to experience the Ozarks. This gorgeous 2 story home sits on the bank of the White River at Buffalo Shoals in a private setting with walk in access to the river, allowing you to enjoy one of the most beautiful locations in the Ozarks. The Big Tatanka offers plenty of space to spread out and enjoy your stay. The home sleeps 15. The main level includes dining for 15, a full kitchen, a large great room, 3 full bathrooms, 3 bedrooms, and a deck overlooking the river. The lower level offers a 2-car garage, 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath, a large great room, foosball table, refrigerator, microwave, and patio. For the more adventurous types, the home is approximately 2 miles to a Buffalo National River hiking trail, approximately 6 miles to the Ranchettes public boat launch on the White River, and approximately 9 miles to a public launch access on the Crooked Creek. We would be happy to connect you with some local guide services if you have a desire to book a guided fishing trip while staying with us.

Our Happy Place

Our stay was so good! We love this property and are already planning our 3rd visit! The house is perfect! We love everything about it! Sandy is amazing and is just a phone call away if you need anything. The river was too high for wade fishing outback this time, but our fishermen went to Cotter and all three of them hit their limit! Needless to say we had the very best fish tacos I have ever had! There is just something about eating fish caught that day!Sandy, we are looking forward to many more trips to “Our Happy Place.”

Buffalo Shoals Getaway

This is an excellent property for family retreats. It's just the right size for our family of 12. The house and amenities are great and the river views beautiful. This was our third year there and have thoroughly enjoyed our stay each time. The owners are wonderful, gracious people.

Perfect Vacation Home on White River

This lovely property on White River is amazing. Everything about it was simply perfect and I’m not exaggerating. From breathtaking views from the balcony to having a lot of beds and sofas and games…this house have it all. Sandy and Scott are amazing people and we hope to be back to their place again.

Amazing host and beautiful property

One of the most beautiful properties we have stayed on while visiting the White River. The host went above and beyond in making sure we have an enjoyable experience. Plus note I caught my biggest brown trout if 24 inches fishing right behind the back porch. The house was clean organized and had all of the amenities needed for our stay.

The River Retreat

As last year, the house was perfect for our group. The weather cooperated this year, so we were able to more fully enjoy the property playing Baggo and enjoying the fire pit and smores at night. The river view is spectacular. I could just sit on the deck or gazebo and enjoy the running waters. Excellent VRBO location. Owners have provided everything you could need and are such nice people.

Peaceful and perfect for families

We came to Flippin to relax, kayak, and do a little fishing. We had 4 adults, a teen, and an 11 yr old. This home was the perfect set up. We had plenty of room to let the kids play around and the adults relax. Sandy was a great host from check-in to check- out. She made sure we had everything we needed, answered questions we had about the river access, and even came out to make sure everything was okay after a storm. We have only good things to say about our stay!

Excellent Getaway

The property is very well decorated and clean. They thought of everything you could need in the kitchen, from a crock pot, blender, toaster, etc. to plenty of pots and pans, dishes and silverware. Couldn't have felt more like home. The river view is wonderful and if weather had been better for us, lots of fishing to be had. Just an overall excellent location.

Great Summer Vacation with Family

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on the White River at this lovely accommodation. The home is even better than the pictures. The property managers were great and very attentive to our every need. We had plenty of space for our family of 10. Kitchen was very spacious. Bedrooms and bathrooms were great. The home is nicely decorated and had everything we needed. All in all, we had a great time.

An unforgettable memory.

Sandy went above and beyond to make sure our stay was fantastic. We had a small wedding here and it was more magical then we could have imagined. This property was perfect for our wedding, but I would also be perfect for a family reunion, a fishing trip, or just a get away. This property has it all- literally. I would 100% recommend.
