    The host was very helpful and responsive. The amenities were more than adequate for a cabin or home in a wilderness area. The location was perfect for all of the activities I was interested in, including hiking and wildlife photography.

    This was our second stay at the Boxley Valley house, and we’re already making plans for a third stay. The house is very clean and well-stocked, and the location is perfect for watching elk. We had a great time!!

    The home was locate where you seen mountains & fields. They thought of everything one might need. It just felt like home. So many places to hang out outside if you would like. We scene elk 3 different times & 7 deer 1 time down the road, nightly we scene turkeys. It was a place to relax & unwind but close enough to hike & explore if you wish.

    Very nice little house. Peaceful, clean. Near a couple swimming holes on the Buffalo and Steel Creek. Ponca and Jasper nearby. Saw elk on two of three days just right down the road.

    We came for a trip in the Jeep to do some country roads sight seeing. There were a couple of places that we didn't make it to due to the rain and high water.The Boxley House was a good centralized location for all of our travels. Triple falls and car wash falls were great. The Parker Hickman Farmstead was very interesting and we loved looking around at all the old buildings. We also hiked to Pedestal Rock. The home was as described, was clean and well supplied. Thank you for your hospitality!!!

    This is a beautiful bungalow with lots of amenities. We did not use the attic bedrooms due to the open stairwell which was a little scary for our senior group. Some blinds on the laundry room windows would be nice since there’s a pullout couch/bed there. The house was very clean and the beds and furniture were very comfortable. Everything we needed was right there. The grounds and views are also excellent.,

    The place was perfect for us, the price for a night has great but with Vrbo charges it doubles the price.

    We’ve stayed near the Buffalo River for many years and have been to many homes and cabins in the area. While they’ve all been fine, this is one I’ll be returning to stay. I fell in love with the home and its history. In addition, the host was fantastic and so kind and responsive when I had questions related to the area and history.
