Mt Sherman Retreat

Our family of five loved the cabin. Jeff was an unbelievable host before, during & after our stay. The location is perfect if you like making memories in a secluded & peaceful place. We loved morning coffee on the back porch, table tennis in the game room, Twin Falls at nearby Camp Orr, Low Gap Cafe & downtown shops & restaurants at Jasper (ten minutes away).

our Arkansas family vacation

This is a big old rambling cabin that we used for 13 family members to make memories. We cooked, laughed, played ping-pong, roasted marshmallows, enjoyed the hammock, and went for short hikes (having a 2- and 3-year-old with us meant naptimes in the middle of the day). We even set up tents so some of the youngest of us could experience sleeping in a tent. We heard coyotes but didn't see a lot of wildlife other than birds. The cabin is comfy and welcoming with the caveat that there are a lot of mounted antlers and some taxidermy work, which unnerved a couple of us, but it was workable nonetheless.You will absolutely not need to bring dishes: they have it all. We would absolutely love to return!

Weekend Getaway

We rented this cabin for 18 people, 10 adults and 8 kids. It is 1/2 of mike down a dirt road to get down to the cabin so we didn’t have to worry constantly about the kids being near a road. The room with 7 beds was perfect for the kids to all sleep together in their own room. The large kitchen and island was great for breakfast, and then we spent the rest of the day at the river or by the fire pit. The cabin is rustic but very comfortable for a large group.

Amazing quit mountain lodge!

Truly a great find. We had 6 adults with motorcycles and the riding to and from the lodge was awesome ! Very quiet and secluded with lots of space to hang out. It’s a bit outdated but it just adds to the character and charm. Very clean and a well stocked kitchen with all your cooking needs. Beds were comfortable. Would recommend staying here for sure. Jeff is an amazing host, always available for a quick question. Thanks Jeff for sharing your place with us!

Martin Siblings - 2024

Couple of suggestions: 1) The VRBO listing never mentioned anything about this property having STAIRS. It was a bit of a problem for our group consisting from great grandparents to a new born. 2) There should be blinds or shutters or at least curtains in the downstairs bedroom. Not everyone wishes to wake up with the sunrise.

Ozark Mountain Motorcycle Trip

10 of us stayed here with our motorcycles. This place was absolutely amazing and a perfect home base that allowed us to make 250+ mile loops through the winding Ozark mountain roads starting and ending at the Buffalo Lodge! Working with Jeff was an absolute pleasure and we will absolutely be back and definitely stay at one of his properties he lists on VRBO!!!!

Guys Trip to Remember

My fiancé and his friends had a great trip exploring the Buffalo and this lodge served as the perfect retreat for them. More than enough room for all your friends and Jeff was great. I have never had a host be easier to reach or more accommodating than him. Very secluded location but 10 minutes from anything you need or want to do. They enjoyed zip lining and exploring the river. The house had plenty of room and entertainment. Kitchen had everything they needed to cook for the group. The Ozark Cafe provided a delicious meal whenever they didn’t feel like cooking. Definitely a trip to repeat in the future!!

Perfect Location and Beautiful Land

I organized a trip for a group of my friends. People came from Kansas City and St. Louis and the cabin was nearly equidistant between the two cities. There were 14 people in attendance and the amenities were perfect for our purposes. The kitchen is large and well stocked with all the implements you might need to put on a feast for a large group or a small one. There are two large grills that are also up to the task. The rec room is a nice addition to the main building's common areas and outdoor gathering spots. We had planned to have a KC vs. StL ping pong tournament but never got around to it. All in all, it's beautiful, secluded, accommodating and serene. Stargazing was incredible. Thanks to Jeff for the perfect venue for our trip!
