Eclipse Weekend

Eric and Ashlee are great hosts. They answered all our questions before we arrived, made us us feel super welcome and couldn't have been more helpful. The location of the cabin is beautiful, set in rolling countryside with stunning views, close to Ponca, and there are some great family walks nearby. Lost Valley is great for young children. I would highly recommend staying here if you are visiting the Buffalo River area. Thank you. Martin

Cousin Connection

My sister and I wanted to visit cousin's in Hilltop, Arkansas so we booked our stay at the Bunkhouse. The hosts told us where we could see elk only a short drive from the bunkhouse toward Ponca. The area is absolutely beautiful! I encourage you to check out the Ozark Grand Canyon and the Buffalo River National Park.

Perfect!

This place was perfect! My son and I were in the area for a mountain bike race and The Bunkhouse was the perfect place to stay. We really enjoyed the indoor ourtoor/living.

Bucket list hikes!!!

This place was absolutely perfect for what we were looking for! The “Kich inn” outside was perfect and had everything we needed. The fridge and little freezer worked great and stored what we brought for the weekend no problem! The location was perfect to get to so many trails and scenic drives. The hosts were so responsive and so helpful with tips on swimming holes and trails! Definitely will be back during the rainy season to explore again!
