This property is an excellent location as a home base for a paddle trip on the middle and lower Buffalo River. It is immaculately clean and extremely comfortable, including the beds. It has great showers and very modern appliances. It is simple, elegant, easy to use, and a place that is easy to relax. The owner provides excellent hospitality and communication, typically responding promptly to messages. LOVED IT. 10/10!
