Cozy 1-BR cabin with Kid's Loft, Hot Tub & Large Deck on Working Buffalo Farm

The cabin was cute and had plenty of sleeping room and loads of room for us to park and the kids to run around and play. But the real selling feature for this property are the owners. We had a family emergency which required a cabin at a moment's notice and a place to store a large trailer with animals. The owner was very accommodating, giving us a great rate, stayed up late to welcome our family members and make sure they were doing okay and settled in. The next morning, he stopped to check in on us, offer expert advice on how to solve our problems and offered his help any time in the future. Without going into a lot of detail, suffice it to say that without his compassion and hospitality, we would have been in a crisis situation. We have never been so well-treated and have now made a life-long friend!

We just returned from a three-night stay at this incredible little cedar cabin hidden away up in the Boston Mountains near Marshall, Arkansas. It was everything we wanted. If you are looking to disconnect, relax in comfort and convenience, breathe in the mountain air, and be close enough to easily experience the spectacular sights of one of the many beautiful stretches of the Buffalo River in a completely unique way, this is where you want to be.The cabin we chose was quaint & cozy, just renovated, and perfectly rustic but with all the modern comforts you need. And pet friendly!! There was plenty of yard for the dogs to run. The cabin was spotlessly clean, the shower roomy, and the beds were comfortable after long days of hiking, kayaking, and exploring the river. Even the little kitchen was fully equipped for cooking our own meals with an outdoor grill available as well. The owners were so welcoming and passionate about what they do, giving us a tour of the acreage where we got to observe emu, water buffalo, American bison, heritage cattle and even a Scottish Highland steer who is aptly named Big Red. The property feels entirely secluded and so peaceful, yet you are just a short, scenic drive away from the Buffalo River's best hiking trails, swimming holes, and floating launch points.

This is a quaint, cozy cabin was perfect for my short stay. I was traveling with 2 dogs, both over 50 lbs. It is not easy to find a place that accepts pets over 20lbs. LC was very kind and accommodating, I got to meet a few of the Buffalo but for me the real treat was petting the female emu. If you are traveling through Marshall and need a place to stay, check out Ratchford Buffalo Farm, they have 2 additional cabins to accommodate varying needs.

I was amazed at the history of the ranch. I feel like we left as friends. The owners were very down to earth people. Brought us firewood and hung out with us. We will return .

Great place to visit. The Mr. L.C. was fantastic making sure we had all we needed. The buffalo ranch was a joy. It was great hearing how the farm works. The cabin was very nice, clean and has everything you need for your stay. Can’t wait to go back.

The cabin is cute and was cozy for my daughter and I to stay at while we visited the Buffalo National River. We enjoyed the hot tub and grill, and the hosts inviting us to tour their buffalo farm was the highlight of the trip (especially meeting the water buffalo). We had a lot of fun in Marshall - don't skip the drive-in theater if you stay! - and intend to return again later in the season. If you have mobility issues, this particular cabin might not be the best one, but they have two others that would work quite well. Everything we needed was stocked, plenty of towels, and there's a grocery store close by for stocking the fridge. All in all a 5-star trip!

It was amazing and the property owners were the absolute best… so friendly and just so nice I can’t say enough nice things about them… can’t wait see you all again next time.. all our love

Clean, comfortable accommodations with Mr and Mrs Ratchford being the absolutely most hospitable hosts! We thoroughly enjoyed the history lesson and the interaction on our personalized tour was fantastic. A truly unique experience for us and we look forward to returning.

Great cabin, nice,clean and quiet. Far enough away from everything. Only a 10 minute drive into town to get what you need. Overall great stay. Highly recommend.

Nice, peaceful location. Very pet friendly. The cabin was very clean and comfy. Enjoyed meeting the landowner and seeing the animals.

We stayed at the cabin for a long weekend getaway. We got to feed Water Buffalo out of our hands. The host is more than accommodating and checked in on us to make sure we didn’t need anything. We will be back!
