Amy was an excellent host and answered all our questions quickly. We also enjoyed meeting the owners, John and Wanda, while exploring the property and river. They were friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable! The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed and more! The beds were comfortable, and I loved the feather pillows! The views from the cabin were spectacular from sunrise to sunset. There is a groundhog living on the fence row by the red gate, be sure to keep an eye out for him! The bats are cool to watch flitting around in the evening too. Our Highlander made the drive down to the river with little issue. It high centered slightly at the first gate, but was fine all the way down. We would recommend this cabin to anyone and would definitely stay here again!!

everything was exactly as described, and I would add even more so. Plenty of cooking utensils, spices, and all the convenience you would need for cooking not to mention the towels and assortment of toiletry. I ran into some difficulties with my motorcycle and I reached out and within 20 minutes somebody was at my house helping me. I can’t say enough about this place if you’re into scenery and serenity you will not be disappointed.

Check-in and out was simple. The WiFi worked great for a remote area. Cute place and great hosts. The Little Buffalo River access has a good jumping rock for the kids and a few small mouth bass for the fishermen. Definitely a place to revisit.

Magical Stay in the Ozark Mountains
We love this property! It's quiet and clean. Also convenient to lots of hiking, a grocery store, and local restaurants. The kids also have fun playing in the river. This was our second visit, and we'll certainly be back again!

We loved our stay at the Rock House! The home was clean and comfortable. John and his daughter Amy were very accommodating. We got to visit with John a couple of times. He showed us how to get to the river, both on the property and from a nearby public road and even provided us plenty of firewood. There were a lot of ticks by the river so I recommend bringing tick spray. I suspect it has to to with the time of year rather than location because this was not the only spot we picked them up and we've never had that issue when we've visited the area before. We highly recommend the Rock House and are hoping to get to stay there again on our next trip to Arkansas.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Hosts were wonderful. They made fire outside the fire pit during our stay and set it up for us. The river backside of the cabin was amazing. Strongly recommend this place.

Above and Beyond!
Our whole experience with Amy and John was amazing and hospitable beyond our expectations. We had mentioned wanting to do a fire one night for our boys (3,6,9) and Mr. John had it all setup for us and all we had to do was light a match. I’ve never had such kind and courteous hosts in all my years of VRBO. You are close enough to Jasper to get essentials but far enough away to not even notice it. We spent 3 nights at the Rock House and loved spending our Thanksgiving there!

Lovely place to stay
We wanted a quiet place to stay while enjoying some hiking in the Ozarks and this place delivered. It was just my wife and me, but there is adequate space for six, maybe seven. The house was pristine nicely appointed.
The location gave us easy and quick access to theJasper and Ponca areas.
The owner was a great communicator and checked to be sure we were happy and all our needs were met.
You won’t be disappointed.

Peaceful Retreat
Loved our stay. The country rock house was charming with modern amenities. Was wonderful getting away from the hectic city to the laid back atmosphere of the country. What a breath of fresh air. We enjoyed wading and fishing in the river on the lower end of the property and sitting outside viewing the stars. Plenty of sites nearby to visit which we definitely did. John, the owner, made us feel like we were part of the family. Really enjoyed visiting with him. I highly recommend staying here. We will definitely be back. :-)
