Room for four. Dogs welcome. Rated 5.0 by guests across 5 reviews on other sites.

THE CABIN: one room and a loft, every inch of it used. Up a short run of stairs, a double bed sits under the skylight, and you wake to the light coming through the trees. A small desk at the loft rail. Downstairs, a queen bed with white linens and two nightstands, a sitting corner with a TV and WiFi, and a full bath with a tub and shower. Heat, air conditioning and a ceiling fan. The kitchenette has a real stove and oven, not a hot plate, plus a small fridge, microwave, coffee maker, dishes, pots and pans, and a live edge table for two at the window.

OUT FRONT: a hanging porch swing bed with cushions facing the woods, two Adirondack chairs around a propane fire table, and a charcoal grill for dinner. Nights here are dark enough that the stars do the entertaining; the Buffalo National River, an International Dark Sky Park, is a scenic drive away. Deer move across the land.

THE LAND: 28 wooded acres shared with one other home, our main house, which is a separate rental, so another group may be staying there during your visit. The cabin has its own entrance, its own parking spot and its own porch. A quarter mile of river frontage runs along the far edge of the land; it flows best in spring and after rain, and like most Ozark rivers it can run low or dry in late summer and fall. The main house, its hot tub, decks, fire pit, trails and river frontage belong to the main house stay; the cabin's porch, fire table and grill are yours. Quiet hours are 10 PM to 7 AM.

WHO IT FITS: two people who want the quiet, with room for four. Guests call it small but not at all cramped, well thought out, and peaceful, cozy and welcoming. Dogs are welcome; declare every pet when you book, and the pet fee is in the house rules.

GETTING HERE: Jasper, with groceries, gas and the Ozark Cafe, is about 30 minutes by car; there are no stores near the cabin, so download your maps and shop before you leave town. The last miles are a gravel county road, which is why it is so quiet up here. Self check in with a lockbox on the cabin door; the code arrives before you do. Check in 4 PM, check out 11 AM. VEHICLE: PLEASE COME IN A TRUCK OR SUV. An all wheel drive car with good clearance also does fine. The drive in ends with a steep hill of loose gravel.

PARKING: at the fork in the drive follow the GUESTHOUSE PARKING arrow and park beside the cabin by the sign, never in front of the main house.

WINTER (November to March): snow, ice and a slow gravel county road are normal winter conditions here. Please check the forecast and plan your trip for them. Normal winter weather does not change the cancellation policy.
