Family Getaway

The cabin was very nice, just what we were expecting from the pictures. It is set back off the road which was excellent for our dog, he enjoyed the property and all the hikes around the cabin. There is plenty to keep everyone busy all day. The cabin was clean and updated bathrooms were nicely done, hot tub was great, and the outfitters store had the friendliest employees who were helpful.

Perfect!

Big Buffalo was just perfect! Our group of four adults enjoyed how clean and spacious this cabin was. My wife and I chose the basement area bedroom and our friend couple took the main floor bedroom. We had our own separate spaces and didn’t have to worry about disturbing each other if someone wanted to get a little extra sleep or take a nap. The hot tub was a great bonus. We spent several evenings soaking with a lot of laughs and enjoying each others’ company. Overall it was a great first time lodging in Arkansa for our group. Definitely will do this again!

You can go hiking, but there's plenty to do at this cabin!

Big Buffalo is a very clean and spacious cabin set just off the road for a little privacy. There is plenty to do outside near this area, but after a morning hike, we simply enjoyed all the amenities of the cabin itself - porch swing naps, campfire, board games, old school video games, darts and more. The cabin had all we needed to unwind and escape a little. Will certainly return!

Big Buffalo Cabin

Cabin was a great location to where we floated at. We all had a great time until rashes on the day we checked out started appearing on the kids… we did contact Jay and he was very nice. The hot tub was dirty and do think that is what caused the rashes. We didn’t have check out instructions but did let Jay know and he knew it was something he hadn’t clicked since they had put it back on VRBO and was going to fix that.

Summer Vacation

We traveled with a large group of friends and family to The Buffalo National River for a weekend getaway. The Big Buffalo cabin had enough room and activities for everyone to enjoy the weekend. The hot tub was a big hit with all the kids. The adults enjoys the porch and sitting around the fire. Kitchen is small to prepare a large meal but it can be done. Jay communicated with all our inquiries and was a great host!

Rest & Recreation on the Buffalo

Our family spent 5 days at the cabin and enjoying the Buffalo River. We could not have had a better time if we tried! The cabin was big enough for us to spread out and provided everything we needed. The porch seemed to be our favorite place to spend the mornings and evenings. I was happy to find such a wonderful home to not only accommodate our group, but also our two dogs. They really enjoyed playing ball in the spacious yard! We hope to get back to the cabin in the future and will for sure visit Buffalo Point again.

Weekend in the Ozarks

Get together weekend with extended family. The cabin worked just fine. Looks like the owners are in the process of remodeling as bathrooms look like they just got an upgrade recently! It rained the whole weekend, so we didn’t get to hike like we planned, but it gave us plenty of inside time to chat and watch football. Living area could use more lamps (overhead glares on TV) and kitchen needs more mixing/serving bowls. We had a great time.

Pretty cool cabin but pictures are misleading

The cabin was not cleaned very well. Cigarette butts in the ashtrays, grill was dirty, microwave was not clean, dirty socks in the bathroom, hot tub water was not drained or cleaned, dirty silverware. The basement is spooky as hell. Looks like something out of a museum or horror movie. Looks like all the maw maws in yelville quilted the ceiling and the beds lined up like a 1970s children's foster home . If you hate your kids throw them in that dungeon. I promise they will straighten up. The cabin is just old which is fine, but it could be so much nicer and cleaner. It's very dark with poor lighting. Regardless, we made the best of it and enjoyed our time.

Weekend at the The Buffalo

Overall, The Big Buffalo Cabin was great. Had everything we needed for the weekend. It was a bit odd(and loud), the way there was a hole in the main level bedroom’s closet with a fan circulating air. The cabin appeared clean, but had a bit of a musty odor(may just be the age of the cabin itself, not for sure on that). It had a beautiful wrap around porch, and nice hot tub. We also enjoyed the fire pit, but some more chairs that are around the fire pit would’ve been nice. A little pricey for a 2 night stay, but I guess inflation effects everything. The owners were very good about communicating, and it was easy to get into the cabin, as we were given a key code for the door. We had no problems with that. It’s just a hop, skip, and jump from Wild Bills Outfitters, which is where we always rent our canoes. I would stay here again with a large group. Plenty of room. But if you’re staying with “couples” and not kids, there is technically only 2 bedrooms. 3 if you want to include the small bedroom with a door in the basement. But, this is surrounded by all the twin and full beds that are more fit for kids. However, there plenty of beds in the basement for anyone that doesn’t mind to share the same room. There are also games in the basement, as well as a couch/tv area as well. Washer/Dryer bathroom, and a separate vanity in basement. Main level has bathroom as well. Upstairs is a bedroom with a queen bed and full bed(I believe, may be a twin). We enjoyed our weekend in the cabin 😊

About the host

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.
