Cabins in Ozarks, Arkansas
Many an author has written on the natural beauty and lure of the Ozarks, a mountain range that spans four states: Missouri, Arkansas, southern Illinois and southeastern Kansas. In Arkansas, you can meander over the mountains, through the hills, along rivers and across creeks on wilderness trails. Close your eyes and recall the magic of the day's adventure while spending the night at one of numerous cabins available at reasonable rates.

Ozark Bluff Dweller Cabins

Perch yourself in a "nest" at the top of a hill where eagles soar and where you can get a bird's eye view of the Buffalo National River in one of three cabins located on Mount Sherman, offered by Ozark Bluff Dwellers Cabins. There is a rustic lodge atmosphere in all three American red cedar log cabins, which have native sandstone fireplaces and ceilings and floors made of cypress and pine. Each cabin has three bedrooms, two baths, fully-equipped kitchens and washers and dryers. Other amenities include satellite TV, DVD players and dial-up Internet access. Hike the Raney Cove Trail from your cabin to the Buffalo River Trail or go spelunking in Raney Cave. In spring, see Twin Falls near Richland Creek, a tributary to the Buffalo that is within walking distance of your cabin.Two of the cabins sleep six, the other one sleeps up to seven. There is a two-night minimum. Discounts are available for longer stays. Children under age 4 stay free.
