Best Log Cabins to Stay at in the Ozark Mountains

Rich in Americana and steeped in folklore, the Ozarks are unlike anywhere else in the world. Covering much of Missouri and Arkansas, the nearly 47,000 square miles of hardwood forests, scenic rivers and limestone caverns will give up their secrets only to those willing to spend some time. A stay in a log cabin is one of the best ways to experience the Ozarks.

Ozark Bluff Dwellers

Hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, kayaking, rock climbing and caving are just a few of the activities awaiting guests at the Ozark Bluff Dwellers log cabins. Located on the wild Buffalo National River, Ozark Bluff Dwellers cabins feature red cedar construction, and pine and cypress floors and ceilings. Each of the three private 1,250-square-foot cabins has three bedrooms, two baths, a full kitchen, dining and living areas, as well as outdoor grills. The cabins also feature some of the best views in all of the Ozarks.
