About the host

Hosted by Jessica Plant

Host profile image
Kristen grew up in Yellville and we both love the Buffalo River. We spend many summer days floating, camping, and hiking with our children.
Kristen’s great-great grandfather Doc Dillard owned the Dillard’s Ferry before the Hwy 14 bridge was built. He also owned 100’s of acres surrounding the River which is now National Park land. The Buffalo River is a treasure we hope you enjoy.

We are thrilled to have you stay with us at the Big Buffalo cabin (a piece of family history) and make many unforgettable memories.
