About this property

Bunkhouse in the Beautiful Ozark Mountains Near Iconic Buffalo National River

The Location:
The Bunkhouse sits near the Buffalo River Just 4 miles from Jasper Arkansas, 5 miles from Horseshoe Canyon, and 10 from Ponca’s Buffalo Outdoor Center. The Buffalo River, the first national river is a great swimming hole to us folks around here. Bring your canoe or kayak or rent one 200 yards down the road from where you’re staying. The dark skies and expansive landscapes are an ideal setting to star gaze and in 2019 the Buffalo National River was named the state’s first International Dark-Sky Park.

This is an occasional working farm with critters of all types so please adults only and no pets at this time.

The Space:
The Bunkhouse sits on the farm’s property with a "tiny house" layout including kitchen/dining, living room/pullout, loft bedroom, and bathroom. If it’s a ball game you must see then the 42-inch T.V. is for you, but you will probably want to catch the views and the tranquility outside at the picnic table or on the patio for that cup of coffee or evening beverage.

Things to do:
Of course…. float the Buffalo!
Experience the zip line or mountain bike trails at Horseshoe Cannon.
See the beauty of Arkansas on local hikes.
Leaf looking in October.
Spot the Elk down in Ponca Valley.
Go antiquing or hit the road on motorcycles.
Attend local festivals or just enjoy some good eats.

The Bunkhouse was exactly what I needed for a quick getaway to a peaceful location. Gwen could not have been more accommodating! She even brought me a phone charger when I realized I failed to pack mine. Highly recommended and I will definitely be back!

Great experience, clean, directions and check in were a breeze. Only minor things:- the WiFi instructions are different from the email versus the actual welcome booklet.- my son slept in the loft and was a littlewarm. How is the temperature in summer? I slept in the sofa bed and no issue.- the night light above the ladder was needed as it is dark at night however I had to unplug it to sleep well in the dark. May be a motion detector light may be better?We will be back again, overall highly recommended. Enjoyed our short stay.

We really liked the place and it was close (about 10 minutes away) to Horseshoe Ranch which is where we spent our time. The house didn't have AC, which in October wasn't bad but I kind of wish it had a portable unit for at night (I like to keep it cool/cold when sleeping). We did have fans and the temp was comfortable when just hanging out in the evenings. Over all it was super quite, clean and well set up.

Was very small inside. Fold out couch was very uncomfortable. Stairs to the loft very steep. Mattress on the floor was very uncoverable. For a six foot tall 215 pound man to have to crawl to get in bed was disappointing. Would not recommend staying here. The bunkhouse was clean and well decorated. Just uncomfortable to stay in.

Sweet bunkhouse

The bunkhouse fit our needs. It was clean and the location was beautiful. Two things you should know. The loft access is a straight up ladder and going downstairs at night to pee can be tricky. The shower is tall and narrow so if you are a large person it will feel tight.

Relaxing and Quiet

Property is easy to get to and is well situated between Jasper and Ponca. It is a small cabin with all the amenities you would need for several days of peace and quiet on the lovely Mt. Sherman. The kitchen was well thought out and has cooking utensils and even some seasonings. The cabin appears to be very new and is immaculately clean. We spent a great deal of time outdoors having our meals and coffee on the patio. The porch is also great for relaxing and reading. Gwen was amazing. She quickly retrieved an appliance I asked for! And she shared fresh eggs with us from her resident chickens. This was a much needed respite from our busy lives, and we are thankful to have found this property and its hosts.

This was an absolutely wonderful place to stay. The location is perfect for activities, yet still feels tucked away enough to truly relax and recharge. It’s the ideal quiet retreat if you’re looking to unwind and rejuvenate.The hosts were amazing—friendly, welcoming, and attentive without being intrusive. They really made the experience special.The bunkhouse was exceptional—spotlessly clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up. The kitchen had everything we needed, making it easy to prepare meals and feel right at home.One of our favorite parts was the outdoor space. There are several great spots to sit back and enjoy a glass of wine or a cup of coffee while taking in the peaceful surroundings.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

About the host

Hosted by Gwen Graf

Host profile image
Gwen’s love of the Buffalo National River began as a child, camping on a flatbed truck with her parents and 6 brothers and sisters. Her maternal grandfather and the other Villines family owned land all around the Buffalo, so it was just natural to be there often. As a young adult, floating the river was like a rite of passage. Now 40 something years later she returned home as a veteran of the Air Force and wanted her growing family to enjoy this simple life. In 2022, while living in an RV (the property has a full hook-up RV site for rent as well) the “Barndominium” was built as the main residence. And a short time later an existing foundation from a previous house was used to build the Bunkhouse – a place for our adult kids to stay in during visits. This simple plot of land means a lot to us. Our pasture was owned by John William “Bill” and Orpha Villines. He witched the well and fenced the area when he was an old fella. The rock wall around the property was put back in place and we have more to do to finish trails down to the bluff and put in fencing to raise a few more critters.
