Absolutely perfect for a weekend of stargazing, hiking, and fishing. The cabin had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend away - a fire pit for s'mores, views of the milky way, beautiful trails, and comfy beds. We'll definitely be back!

Blue Canoe Cabin provided everything we needed for our vacation in Buffalo National River. The cabin was immaculate, and all communication with the owner was easy and friendly. Our favorite part was the front porch, where we immersed ourselves in the peaceful solitude.

Our entire process from scheduling to leaving the property was first class. The cabin was beautiful and well stocked with essentials and beyond. This cabin without a doubt was the cleanest and neatest placed we have ever stayed. Communication with David was great. He communicated everything we needed to know to make our stay wonderful. Beautiful views, beautiful stars and peace and quiet. What more do you need?

Blue Canoe Cabin was once again a hit in all aspects. First and foremost the detail to our pups was top notch. The cute towl with the bowls left on the front porch made ot feel welcoming not just to us, but to them as well. We enjoyed the property, the short drive to the river to play, the key location to Branson to spend the day, and the note and treats waiting for us when we arrive. Everything was amazing and we will definitely be back.

Fantastic get away location for the family. Everything about the stay way above expectations. The view from the patio to the peace and quiet on the property is perfect for those looking to get away and relax next to the Buffalo River.If you’re looking to trail hike for the day or float the river, coming back to the cabin to relax is well worth it. Would highly recommend!

The cabin was clean and the host was very kind. I probably wouldn't stay here again because the downstairs bedroom only had a full size bed that was not comfortable. The upstairs might have had a bigger bed but you had to get there up steep narrow stairs.

This cabin is beautiful and all the little “extras” from the hosts make the visit truly special. It is in top of a mountain with an excellent road in, so the drive in was easy. The location made the star gazing as good as we have ever experienced. Local cuisine is only a few minutes drive and the food was terrific. We HIGHLY recommend a stay at the Blue Canoe!

The Blue Canoe cabin getaway was exactly what we were looking for in a cabin getaway! It was private and secluded in a beautiful setting. The view from the deck was amazing, especially with a cup of coffee. My wife and I were very comfortable the entire week and enjoyed our Thanksgiving dinner in style. Such a great escape to nature but just down the road from the conveniences of town. We will surely plan another trip!!

We had a wonderful vacation at this cabin! We loved how secluded it was, and the kids really enjoyed the loft area. Conveniently located near some great middle river floating locations and swim holes. We enjoyed watching the hummingbirds while enjoyed a morning coffee on the porch, and the stars at night are amazing. We will definitely be planning a future stay at this cabin for our annual Buffalo River Trip.
