Our 3 acres are on the road leading to Buffalo Point river access on the Buffalo National River.

The house on property was once a restaurant and was converted to a duplex to host travelers to the Buffalo River years ago.
Our acreage adjoins the Buffalo National River Park boundaries and you can explore around the ridge. Buffalo Point is literally at the end of our street. You can hike an amazing trail called Indian Rockhouse - it's interesting and fun every season. Hikes along the Buffalo River Trail are minutes away, and outfitters are within walking distance - they can help you with rafting, kayaking, canoeing and even guided tours and fishing guides.

We had a wonderful, quiet stay here. Unfortunately, there is a severe drought and the creek wasn’t running but it was so quiet and peaceful that we didn’t even mind. The river is a hop skip and a jump from our camping spot so we ran down to take a look and enjoy the view. Speaking of views, it is worth taking the trails! We would definitely come back and encourage others to enjoy this property as well.

Weekend Trip to The Ridge at Buffalo Point
We had so much fun at this cabin! It’s the right size for a weekend getaway with a bed, small Roku TV, microwave, mini fridge, coffee maker, grill, and fire pit. The private bathhouse was a short walk from the cabin and was nice after a long day of outdoor activities. The property also offers a disc golf totem, swings, and open area to run around in. The location is also really close to the lower area of the Buffalo River. Easily a 5-10 minute drive to anything. Also, loved having Wild Bills, a gas station and convenience store, a short walk away for anything we forgot or needed. Loved meeting the gray kitty on the property. He was an absolute sweetheart and loved pets. Would definitely stay here again!!

Such a pretty and peaceful place. We tent camped so I don’t know about the RV sites, but it was very easy to drive to in our non-4wd junky SUV and tiny trailer loaded with our stuff. The campsite was clean and has a little shed with fans and a solar charger we used for our phones and we cooked on our propane grill in there as well. Theres a nice fire pit with benches and a table n chairs with an umbrella and Shay had lots of firewood available. The porta potty was super clean and we just used the hose to shower with and wash dishes. Also a huuuuuge somewhat enclosed grassy area if you have dogs. Shay was more than gracious and an amazing host. I highly recommend and would return if in the area again.

Our stay at Buffalo River Hideaway was absolutely wonderful! Shay has created such a peaceful, quiet, and enjoyable place to relax in the country, while also being close to everything you’d want to explore on the Buffalo National River. With easy access to several spots on the river and Tomahawk Creek nearby, the location couldn’t be better.
One of the things we appreciated most was the convenience Shay provides for campers. The porta john allowed us to comfortably extend our stay—twice! Having potable water and a hose long enough to connect made things even easier. It’s clear that Shay has put a lot of thought into making the space functional and welcoming.
We also loved the shed with solar-powered fans, which worked perfectly as our outdoor kitchen. We set up our Blackstone griddle along with other cooking utensils and felt completely comfortable leaving them there unsecured. It was such a handy addition that made cooking easy and enjoyable.
The property itself is spacious and fenced in, which was a huge bonus for us traveling with our Chocolate Lab, Cora. She had plenty of room to run and play, and we had peace of mind knowing she was safe within the fenced area. It truly made the stay more relaxing for all of us.
Shay is a thoughtful and accommodating host, and Buffalo River Hideaway feels like a hidden gem. If you’re looking for a quiet, country getaway with all the essentials plus quick access to the Buffalo, this is the perfect spot. We will definitely be back!

Shay is a reputable and reliable host, and Buffalo River Hideaway had everything we needed for our trip to the Buffalo National River. The spot was easily accessible with our 25-foot travel trailer, and the completely fenced property gave us peace of mind with both our Chocolate Lab and our orange tabby cat.
We especially enjoyed the shed with solar-powered fans, which made a perfect outdoor kitchen for our Blackstone griddle. Shay has even provided games like checkers and horseshoes, adding a fun touch to the stay.
The location is ideal—close to several access points on the Buffalo National River and Tomahawk Creek, yet only about 45 minutes from Harrison, where you’ll find all the amenities you could possibly need.
Buffalo River Hideaway is peaceful, convenient, and thoughtfully set up. We left feeling refreshed and grateful, and we’ll definitely be back!

We only stayed for a brief time but even before we got to the campsite they were so sweet and accommodating! The set up was so perfect, loved the covered area for the tent and the super convenient set up to help with grilling and dinner! Even had the cutest little games tables set up next to the tent! 20/10!! We will absolutely be back to enjoy their little slice of heaven again! Thank y'all for checking off a bucket list for us!

Very nice place. Google maps will not bring you there, do not use maps, use their description in their message they send you. Way faster!!
Nice sandy beach, creekside , very clear clean water. We walked in the water to fish for an hour. The water is not cold at all. Most of it may be 12 inches deep to at the most waist deep.
The entrance to their property is a water crossing but pretty. Playground set, outhouse, plenty of shade. No Internet access at all our ATT phones didnt have any.
Pretty mountains in the background. Nice owners we met on arrival. Will definitely stay again.

The outhouse was clean and smelled of fresh cedar. The host did a nice job preparing for us by freshly mowing the grass. They also were very quick to respond and offer assistance when we had trouble with directions. We enjoyed our stay!
