Firefly Cottage - 11 acres & 3 miles to Kyle's Landing - Buffalo River
This adorable, newly renovated cabin is located in the heart of the Upper Buffalo River Wilderness area and is less than 9 miles in either direction to Jasper, Arkansas or to the historic Boxley Valley. Jasper is a quaint town where restaurants, eclectic shops and groceries can be found. And, the Boxley Valley offers many opportunities to view the wild elk that live there and also has many great hikes including Lost Valley and the Buffalo River Trail (BRT). We are only minutes from several access points of the Buffalo National River and from many of the best hiking trails in the region. The cabin is located on 11 private acres and is at the end of a dead-end road, so it provides much privacy. Deer, bunnies, turkeys, and hummingbirds are often seen at the cabin. And, in the warmer months, hundreds of fireflies light up our woods!
Our cabin has one bedroom downstairs with a sleeping loft upstairs. It also has two full baths located on the main floor. In addition to the inside amenities, we have a wrap-around covered porch that makes being outside and experiencing nature very enjoyable. Part of the porch is screened-in which make being on the porch during the spring and summer great!
The gravel driveway is a bit steep. We highly recommend a 4WD vehicle or SUV. Smaller cars may have trouble reaching the cabin in certain seasons and weather. Feel free to ask us directly if you are worried about this!

We found Firefly Cottage to be a very clean, cozy, and comfortable house midway between Ponca/Boxley Valley and Jasper. We were near the elk, the Buffalo River, and some great scenic drives. We enjoyed the big wrap-around porch with a great picnic table and swing. If you are looking for a very quiet and peaceful stay, you will find it at Firefly Cottage.
We loved our time staying at the Firefly cottage. It was the perfect home base while we explored the area and hope to be able to come back in the future!
We enjoyed our stay in the Firefy Cabin. It was a beautiful, peaceful spot that was close to everything we needed.

Thank you for your great review and thank you for being such wonderful guests! We can't wait to have you all back sometime!
*****The one star was a mistake and this guest rated us 5 stars but after both myself and our guest called VRBO to get the stars corrected, we were told that they wouldn't correct it for us. This is the message our guest sent once she saw the mistake with the stars and she followed up with a phone call to VRBO:
VRBO,
Please change my rating to a 5 out of 5 stars instead of the 1 out of 5 stars. . . Kathy’s Cabin was a wonderful experience and they totally deserve the 5 out of 5 stars. Again please change to a 5 out of 5 stars!!
*****It is obvious with her kind review that she intended to make it a 5 star rating :)
Loved our stay! Secluded cabin, beautifully decorated, thoughtfully stocked! Great location, close to plenty of beautiful hiking trails, the Buffalo River, sightseeing, including nearby elk at Ponca. Comfy bed, screened-in porch out back, porch swing out front. All the comforts of home; peaceful and quiet!
Easy to find and check-in process was very simple. The cottage is super cute! Very tastefully decorated and supplied with amenities. We absolutely loved the cottage and will be looking for an opportunity to go back.
This cabin was just what our family needed for a weekend away. It’s a perfect location if you are planning to float the Buffalo river. It’s serene and peaceful, clean, comfortable, and just overall dreamy. Don’t hesitate, book the Firefly cottage - you won’t regret it!
We really enjoyed a weekend getaway at the Firefly cabin. Great location. Very clean. We went for the fall colors and to see the elk. Nice to come back and use the grill for meals. Communication with management was great, too.
Wonderful property! Loved the seclusion. We were stuck at the house one day due to rain, we had all outside activities planned, but we were not sad about it. Being able to enjoy the rain on The covered porch was fantastic. We love the Buffalo River area and would definitely choose this property again when we visit.
Thank you for sharing the Firefly Cottage! Kathy is prompt in answering any questions – helpful to work with. The cottage was well equipped, clean, and the views were peaceful!! The king size bed was very comfortable. The detailed instructions to hiking, elk viewing and restaurants were appreciated! We had a wonderful, relaxing trip.
The Firefly Cottage was AMAZING! This was our second trip to Jasper and probably our best family vacation ever! The kids loved the loft and the wrap-around porch was so nice that you almost didn’t want to spend any time indoors. We grilled, made s’mores at the campfire and made quite a few meals in between hikes, swimming holes, and cliff jumping! Such a cozy, welcoming property!
cute, clean and well decorated cottage but it has a few issues. confusing light switches, ceiling fan in bedroom would not work without light on, mattress on king bed uneven. swarm of wasps on back porch we had to spray.
overall it was a nice place to stay and we enjoyed.
This cottage was even prettier & cleaner in real life! The kitchen & bathrooms were well-stocked & the porches were amazing! The decor & comfort were decadent! And it was located in a most convenient area relative to all beautiful & fun activities. I would have given all 5 stars except my daughter & family got there early & called the telephone numbers given in correspondence as helpful in any situation. They were previous owner's telephone numbers who explained they had sold the cottage a year ago. The now owners had no telephone number listed.
This is the perfect location for exploring the Buffalo. The cabin had a fully stocked kitchen and the bathroom even had extra toiletries in case your left something at home. Perfect size for our family. Perfect space for a base camp for exploring or for staying in! The hosts were great and took care of any concerns within a timely manner.
Our family of 4 planned to stay 3 nights and checked out by midnight on the first night. Entering the cabin there was a bad odor that we really thought would go away, couldn’t get lights/fans to work easily, had an atv driving on the fence line at 10:00 at night with just a green light. Very creepy as we had no curtains in living room/kitchen so our kids were totally uncomfortable in an unfamiliar area. We couldn’t get comfortable watching a movie as the couch is facing the kitchen and 2 wicker rocking chairs facing the tv. Then we killed a brown recluse in the living room. We understand there will be spiders but then I went to put the girls to bed in the loft and I killed 2 spiders on the wall at the head of the bed where my daughter was going to sleep. They were going to try to sleep with us, but couldn’t get past all the other stuff and wanted to enjoy our trip. We checked out at midnight, still trying to figure out the light situation, major cold chills as we were leaving. We realized it was not where we were supposed to be. I messaged the host about the atv at 10:30 that night and got a response the next morning saying the property owners on the other side of fence were probably checking for a baby calf or checking fence. She never took the time to call me and make it right with us. She said she showed up with her 2 housekeepers the next day when I told her we checked out and said they didn’t notice a smell. That’s the only issue she would address and no refund would be issued. So frustrating and not right.
