    This cabin is so serene. Perfect spot to get away from it all, yet just 15-20 minutes to Ponca and all the outdoor activities. Nice fire pit with wood provided. Enclosed game room with darts and kids games. We will be back

    This cabin was delightful. Very clean, kitchen was well stocked. Bathroom was clean and well stocked. Comfortable beds. It was right in the center of the main things we had planned. Just across the highway from the road to Wilderness Rider Buffalo Ranch and trails! Just down the highway from Boxley Valley where we were able to watch the elk! I would definitely stay here again and would definitely recommend to others. Really nice place!

    The Roost is a very clean and comfortable place to call home for your stay in the Buffalo river area. The lodge themed decorating was so awesome. The hosts were very easy to communicate with and provided all the necessary information for staying at the Roost. Very helpful with tips on what the area provided regarding food and restaurants. Such a beautiful view to drink coffee and enjoy the Sunrise and Sunsets. We highly recommend it!

    We had an excellent stay here. The home was clean and cozy. The sunrises were epic. We had a thunderstorm one afternoon and the lightning and thunder echoed through the valleys. We rode trails near by and swam in the Buffalo River. We will be back!

    My husband and I stayed here for two night - and I am already planning another trip! This was a trip that we planned last minute- Nathan was quick to answer us and book our stay. Everything in the cabin was great - it felt like we’re were home! Beds were comfortable, everything was spotless, and the views - just beautiful!!! We went there to capture Milky Way - we were successful because it was right on top of us!!! This cabin sits on a top of the mountain- you can see clouds covering canyon in the morning!!! We took rides to nearby Jasper town- ate at Ozark Cafe ( was suggested by Nathan) - the food was so delicious! FYI - if you go there, chili bowl in the appetizer section is really good and enough for two to three people! Be careful if you end up going to Twin Falls trail - ride down to the trail is really steep on a gravel road and it took our van five tries to get back up that hill on the way back! Wonderful experience overall!!! Thank you, Nathan, for sharing your cabin!

    What a beautiful view! It was close to the park. Only got study two nights, wish it could have been longer. Hosts were great and communicated with us very well. Everything was nice and neat, even provided wood for our evening fire. Definitely recommend. I’m short so I definitely could not stay in the bed with the extremely tall bed! Lol

    I traveled with two email friends for a long weekend of kayaking the Buffalo. We wanted to stay at a place that was quiet and not in the heart of all the river traffic. The Roost was perfect. The house was on a great hilltop that had beautiful vista views. The house had everything we needed and then some. Our hosts were communicative and made everything easy. Would happily stay here again.

    Came to ride our SXS at Wilderness Riders. Rental was super comfortable and we loved the rustic wildlife decor. The views were amazing. Access was great as well which is important when pulling a trailer. We also loved the fact we could ride directly to the park on our SXS.

    Our family of 4 had a great two night stay! Very clean! We really enjoyed the game room and watching the sunset on one of many porches. Close to Sweden Creek Falls and Buffalo Wilderness Ranch. We were able to ride our side by side to both locations from the cabin. Host was great as well! We would definitely stay here again!

    The size and layout of the cabin are great. It was very clean and featured the best local trail guidebook by outdoorsman and nature photographer Tim Ernst. The two coffeemakers are a great idea. There wasn’t a gas bottle for the gas/charcoal grill, so we tried to use some charcoal someone had left in it, but had no luck without lighter fluid. Wonderful views from the site, and it’s a great taking-off point for all outdoor adventures in that area.

    The cabin was gorgeous! The scenery was absolutely beautiful. We were close to all of the activities that we were interested in, such as, hiking and seeing the elk. We went as a birthday trip for myself and I could not have chosen a better place to stay or a better time of the year to go and stay!
