Great time

First I want everyone to know-super clean spot and just like the listing. But I strongly suggest the directions to be spelled out with the code to get in with exit instructions. WiFi in the cabin is great but not on the road. I thought we were going to have to find another place to stay. Thankfully I got WiFi in the driveway and got the code to get into the cabin.

Perfect Getaway

We had a nice stay. Our adult daughters were able to join us for most of our stay. We loved the semi secluded location nestled in a valley at the base of the mountains it was just far enough off the main road to offer privacy but close to town, with the river and several hiking trails just minutes away. The property was beautiful and was fun to explore. The house itself was clean and had a cozy home feel

Good location for Hiking

The cabin was very clean. It was in a great location for short drive to hiking trails. We were there in mid to late October. We saw some pretty Fall leaves in spite of the drought. Most of the trails we hiked would have had beautiful streams and waterfalls in the Spring. The cabin was not fancy but it met all of our needs.

Elk viewing excellent

My husband was looking behind doors looking for bedroom as he did he noticed one door led to a basement it was full of what looked like red hornets they were large!I was uneasy and scared they would come up to where we were sleeping, it did not happen and we enjoyed our stay. The place had an order like older homes do, but it was a nice place and we enjoyed our stay. I would hope owner does something about wasp or horents in basement if children were present they are very energetic and would lookand play ever where.

Ponca stay

Property was awesome with beautiful views and ease to all the local attractions. Communication was excellent with property managers. The house was very clean and comfortable. The only drawback was there was not a hair dryer or drip coffeemaker as listed. Otherwise it was a wonderful weekend!

Perfect Elk Viewing location

The entire property was very clean and the house was filled with everything needed for your stay. It is right across the highway from a great field to be able to see elk and just right up the road from some other great places to visit unfortunately the entire community lost power The night that we stayed so we had to cut our stay short, but we will be back because of the cleanliness and the great location. Definitely recommend!

Our host was great and helped us with a late checkin. We loved how the older character of the house was preserved and updated with new furnishings to tie everything together. The location was close to everything we needed. We can’t wait to visit again!!

Nice weekend away

Very good location close to Ponca and outdoor center. Water was low so no kayaking but we did plenty of hiking that was close by and got to see quite a few elk up the street. FYI to other travelers - we did not have any service for ~20 min when away from the cabin. Just to pre download maps or GPS for trails etc

Spectacular

We had the best time as a family! There were 4 adults and 3 children ages 4 and under! The kids enjoyed rolling down the hills in the yard and being able to run around! The view of the Lou rains were amazing and the short distance to the river was a major plus for us! We were able to ride around and see elk within a mile of the cabin! We will definitely be back!!

We picked this location to be near the Buffalo river. This is a good spot to venture out and see many sites. We could even see elk from the porch. It is very clean and was great for us.

Elk Viewing

Great house for 5-6 people. Has everything you need for your stay: utensils, pans, grill, charcoal, etc. It was to warm to light the fire pit but it was a cozy setup. We took our dad for Father's Day to see the Elk. Every morning Elk were across the road, we could see them from the porch! Great stay❤️

Beautiful Location

Everything was really nice. It could use a few touches like lamps in the bedrooms. It would also be nice to have something to sit your suitcase on besides the floor. Other than that, everything was clean and very comfortable. Every time I contacted the owner the reply was very prompt! I will opt to stay here again.

Nice place

The house is just like its described in the listing. Very clean. Soft mattresses. Full amenities. Mid-century decor(if you lived through the 60s or 70s you'll understand). No elk on this stay but the herd if cows still made for nice pictures against the barn backdrop. Thanks Emily and Kayla!!
