Love the homey feeling of Jasper and this place was everything we hoped for. Got to hike a little with my 4 kids before the rain moved in, but the Ozark cafe up the road was delicious as always and getting to hunker down, play board games, watch movies and just relax was a perfect way to spend the second leg of our trip. The kids kept asking on our way home, when we can go back? So we definitely will be visiting again!

This place is a gem, best deal in the area. It’s big and has 4 beds, a couch, a rocking chair and a table that can seat 6. There are also outdoor tables and a charcoal grill. The place is very clean and the kitchen is well equipped with pots, utensils, and plates, there’s even a deep fryer and a crockpot. There’s only 2 restaurants in town so this was a must for us. The beds are comfortable and there are plenty of blankets. The bathroom has plenty of linens and the washer and dryer are new. It sits close to town but it sits on a large property and there are plenty of birds all over. I would definitely recommend this place and will probably return.
My daughter and I stayed at this establishment and loved every minute of it. The owners were very, very accommodating and caring. Make sure that we were taken care of. It was a pleasure to sit and visit with. I have no complaints about this place. I never leave a review, but I had to for this one for a large group of people. This is a perfect place to stay.

Girls weekend
Thelma was easy to communicate with and we had what we needed during our stay. Would have liked a listing of avaliable restaurants in the area and ideas for things to do.
Thelma was very welcoming and accommodating. My sisters and I stayed for 4 nights and the place was as advertised. Thelma’s dog Scout likes to check people out but he’s a sweetheart. We hiked and toured waterfalls.
It was great place to stay for a short amount of time. The yard was large for the kids to play in. The property was really close to a creek. The kitchen was fully equipped which made cooking meals easy. Plus the owners were very friendly!
I really enjoyed staying at the Buffalo Bunk House. It is a very spacious facility with all kinds of room and it is well stocked with all kinds of cookware. I was very comfortable there. The bunkhouse has several beds and would be an ideal location for a large family. Thelma the owner is a great host and on top of all that it is also affordable.

Not a cabin
Good place for multiple people. But definitely not a cabin, nor rustic. Very close to owners house right next door.

GREAT FOR GROUPS
Some friends and I take a bike trip to a different state every year. This time it was to Arkansas and had a great time. Accomadations were just what we needed. Plenty of room to park the bikes and lot of room to sit out on the patio and enjoy the cooler nights. Took several rides in the surrounding mountains, great scenery and winding roads. Would definitely recommend this place, great for a group get together.

Room was clean

Owner lives a few feet away, so if you’re looking for privacy for your family’s getaway, this isn’t the place

Stay here if you appreciate good old fashioned hospitality
Everything about the rental was perfect but the surprise was the hospitality. We didn’t get to visit with Thelma as much as we would have liked, she has a busy schedule, but we did get to visit with her son Brian quite a bit. Between Brian and the family dog, “Scout,” we felt instantly right at home. He is very interesting to talk to and “Scout’s” adorable low key demeanor is absolutely heartwarming. Brian was very respectful of our “mission” for being there and he seemed able to sense that we enjoyed talking with him so much that we would lose track of our “mission,” (sightseeing), and could have easily spent the day gabbing with him and messing with “Scout” instead of doing what we came for. As a result, it was as if he would keep the morning visits brief, making sure that our stay was comfortable and letting us get on the road before we started “burning daylight” with more gabbing. After our day full of breathtaking scenery, we looked forward to returning to the bunk house for another helping of the hospitality that Brian and Scout provided. I’ve made many trips to the Ozarks and always love going there, but this was the best trip ever. There is a guest book there, and after reading some of the comments, it seems that my experience is very similar to those who stayed there before us. I will be returning for another “heaping helping” of the good old fashioned hospitality that they are serving there just as soon as I am able.
