Great location near the Buffalo River

Comfortable furniture.

I picked this rental because the living room furniture looked comfortable, and it was. We came up to hike trails around the Buffalo River. The location on the road to Gilbert was great, the house was very clean, the kitchen was stocked with coffee, and the beds were good. Perfect cabin for us!

Nice stay near the Buffalo river

My family and friends had an amazing time celebrating my birthday at this cabin. We loved the stay, cabin was very nice! The owner was also very nice. The only downside we found was that one of the beds were hard

Family Float Trip

The property was amazing! There was plenty of room for my family of 5 grown kids. Having a washer and dryer along with two full bathrooms was great. The house was stocked with everything we needed and location to Gilbert was a very short drive. Will definitely book again!

Fantastic weekend for Dad and Sons

Fantastic stay at an awesome cabin. It’s either newly built or 100% redone. Clean, modern and well appointed in a great location. We were just around the corner from the floating outfitters, great breakfast at Ferguson’s and dinners at Big Spring and Crawbillys were excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely stay here again when we come back

Great location

The place was clean and worked great for our trip. It’s close to Gilbert and a few restaurants and river outfitters. Be aware there isn’t Wi-Fi in the cabin, it’s not listed as having it. I just didn’t check, assumed it would be there, so if you must have it, maybe look elsewhere.

Amazing!

This was such a beautiful place. Becky was a pleasure to deal with throughout the entire process and made everything so easy for us! This was a road trip with my friend. It was perfect with a bedroom and bathroom for each of us. It offers peace and quiet but we still felt we were close to everything we needed. Would definitely book here again!!! Beautiful. Thanks!

Nice Place But...

Off the beat. Private, and very quiet. However, I did leave a few items of clothing behind. I did try to contact the owner about retuning the items at my expense, but I never heard a word. I can understand why they may not want to hassle with the return, but it would have been nice at least to get a follow up email instead of no response at all.

Great experience.

This cabin is brand new and was perfect for our crowd of friends. It was only 3 minutes from the river. It was very clean, but none of the doors would shut in the cabin without force or slamming. That is the only negative thing I could find. It didn’t say on the listing what type of grill but it’s a gas grill.

The house is just as the pictures depict it. Very stylish with new appliances and bathroom features. One bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with a walk in shower. The other bedroom uses the common room bathroom that has a full tub/shower. Washer and dryer. Betsy, the property manager, was helpful with any questions I had. Will rent again for sure!

Wonderful stay!

We had a great weekend with friends! We came to float the Buffalo and enjoyed our time at Paddle and Play. The location is close to Gilbert and we used Buffalo Camp and Canoe at the Gilbert Store. Paddle and Play was a nice place to relax after driving over the first day and after a full day of floating the second day. It was just as described and super clean! Highly recommend!
