About this house rental
ESCAPE THE CROWDS to the Great Outdoors!
Sky Hawk Ridge is place of extraordinary beauty, a 185-acre natural refuge at the gateway to Buffalo River National Park. This stunning vacation home is one year old and sparkling clean! It’s traditional Bungalow Style on the outside, bright and open inside. The cabin has breathtaking views of the Buffalo River Valley and manicured grounds all around. The expansive, private-park setting is shared with just three other cabins.
THE LAND
When you stay at Sky Hawk Ridge, you won't stay inside for long. Roam the land and discover the wonders of this beautiful landscape. Enjoy misty morning walks through dew-covered fields. Watch gorgeous sunsets over Ozark Mountains. When you walk along Sky Hawk's long ridge, you see up the Buffalo River Valley to layered green hillsides and distant blue ridge lines. You see rolling meadows with sentinel oaks, cattle grazing in lush pastures, deep green woods ... nature's beauty at every turn.
Explore miles of private trails that wind through dense forests and beside crystal streams. Wildlife is everywhere -- deer, turkey, fox, owls, songbirds, and all sorts of woodland creatures. Be dazzled by spring flowers, blue summer skies, rich fall colors, or foggy winter mornings. Sky Hawk Ridge is a nature-lover's paradise all year long.
LOCATION
Sky Hawk is just off US 65 on the north side of the Buffalo River. Restaurants, canoe rentals and river access points at Grinders Ferry, Gilbert and Tyler Bend are less than ten minutes away, but at Sky Hawk you’re secluded and surrounded by natural beauty -- away from it all.
The entrance is on the Gilbert Road (Hwy. 333), just 0.4 mile east of US 65. The cabin is about a half mile from the entry. Sited at the top of a ridge and flanked by a line of stately, old oaks, the house affords sweeping views up the Buffalo River Valley.
The property has 3/4 mile of park frontage, and the Buffalo River Trail is just steps from the property corner. The park trail leads about a mile down to a long, wide gravel bar at Shine Eye Bluff -- the perfect spot to picnic, swim, fish or enjoy a lazy afternoon. (Shine Eye is also accessible by road, a five minute drive.)
ACCOMMODATIONS
Completed in June 2022, this comfortable home has plenty of room for your family or two couples. Stunning architecture and tasteful furnishings make the house memorable in its own right. High dormer windows in the two-story living area and large windows in every room let you see forest and sky all around. The interior is sunny and uplifting ... like the great outdoors. Flanking the great room are two spacious bedroom suites. Separate bathrooms have large, glass, walk-in showers.
There are three other vacation homes at Sky Hawk Ridge. Refer to VRBO listing numbers 1005119, 1468267 and 3613801 for more information. Houses are spaced 500-1,200 feet apart, allowing plenty of separation for everyone's privacy. The land is for all to enjoy, so feel free to discover what lies around the bend.
Sky Hawk Ridge has the finest vacation homes anywhere near the Buffalo River. It's at the center of everything but peaceful and secluded. There are gorgeous views all around. 185 acres of natural beauty are yours to explore. You will love this place! Book your vacation today.

A beautiful cabin, designed perfectly for 2 couples. The back deck became our favorite spot, we had morning coffee there and watched stars at night. The kitchen was very well stocked . The bathrooms were amazing. I can highly recommend this cabin!
5.0 / 5.0
The house is stunning! The moment you walk through the door you immediately begin to feel relaxed and that is just the beginning. With free range over the entire property and it being a private drive, I was very at ease letting our three young children roam about. We enjoyed a few of the hiking trails followed by smores around the outside fireplace. Mornings were so enjoyable wrapped in a blanket on the front porch drinking coffee and watching all of the wildlife. The days were spent kayaking on the river. This property has several homes on it so we love coming back here and to the buffalo river! We hope to see this place again by the end of October.

The property was exactly as advertised! Privacy, great views and close to the river! The property is well stocked and very clean!

Will recommend and definitely stay on our next visit!

What a great time spent on this amazing property! Beautiful views from every window and the cabin itself is so perfectly appointed. Our 3 boys kept busy fishing the ponds and we all enjoyed hiking the trails. Wide open spaces and sky, perfectly peaceful.

I just enjoyed my second stay at these fabulous properties at Sky Hawk Ridge. It was a wonderful relaxing time and Lori’s cabin could not have been more perfect in every way…it was pristine and super comfy. My girlfriends and I loved a little birthday get-away! Thank you Lori!

This was our second visit to Sky Hawk Ridge and we were already discussing our third visit when we left. It truly is amazing from the location with easy access to everything and stunning views….and the home itself has the perfect layout and couldn’t be decorated more beautifully. We enjoyed walking the grounds and seeing deer on the same path and just being surrounded by nature….so peaceful and just the energy we needed to come back home and tackle life.

We had an incredible stay at Sky Hawk Ridge.
The property + surroundings were beautiful, our cabin was perfect (clean + brand new), and the host was very responsive. Tons of fun things to do - float down the Buffalo, hiking, S’mores around the camp fire, star gazing - so fun.
Looking forward to coming back !!

Such a beautiful place with all the amenities. Stayed here for three nights while we hiked and floated the Buffalo River. It was within driving distance of anything we needed but secluded enough to feel out on our own.
Hosts checked in with us and made sure we had everything we needed. Will definitely book here again!
Thank you!

Wonderful Cabins. We will be back. They are beautiful! Just like the photos. Donna was so kind and provided helpful information.
5.0 / 5.0
Such a stunning retreat. Natural light wanders all through the house and breezes find their way in with the windows open (but bugs never found their way through the bud screens). It really is a fantastic gathering pace for a group of friends. We spent a lot of the afternoons gathering in the combined living room / kitchen, and beautiful mornings on the back porch over looking the valley. Lots of great trails to walk along and a great kitchen space to make a meal together. Also, was very close to the float services for our trip down the buffalo. The star gazing by the fire pit and a moonlight stroll were such a nice ways to close out the evening. We can’t wait to make it back to Sky Hawk Ridge!

My husband and I wanted a quick getaway and debated on a few different places before deciding on this one. I am SO glad we chose to stay here. It is truly a breathtakingly gorgeous property, from the cabin to all the surrounding acres. It is definitely food for the soul and you will fall in love with this place!! The host/owners are incredibly kind and made sure we had everything we needed for a flawless trip start to finish!

Relaxing and Great Getaway,
Always nervous when you stay somewhere for the 1st time, that was short lived once we arrived at Sky Hawk. The property the service were Outstanding we absolutely fell in love with the property and it's surrounding . Diana and her husband were great it was like talk to an old friend.
The house was spotless and stock with everything you will need for your stay. Hard to give a 5 star rating because you think their has to be something they could improve on, not at Sky Hawk.
Sky Hawk is a must stay we will return soon,
Thanks Paul & Jennifer

The cabin itself is immaculate, and beautifully decorated and furnished. The views are absolutely gorgeous from all windows and the covered deck. We spent most of our time at the private fire pit, and walking the trails on the property. We would absolutely recommend it to just get away/relax and enjoy the outdoors!

This was our second stay at this lovely property and definitely won’t be our last. It was just as wonderful as the first. The location is great and feels very private. It was chilly so we got to enjoy the fire pit this time and really loved sitting on the deck watching the sunset. This cabin has everything you could need and the design and decor are gorgeous. Comfortable beds and couches. Great place to relax and enjoy nature!

We spent a wonderful week at the cabin. SkyHawk never disappoints!!! So fun to watch the deer play on the banks of the pond and see the turkeys stroll by the back yard. The cabin is spotless & amenities are top notch. We enjoy staying at SkyHawk and look forward to our return.

The 3 rental houses are spread over 185 acres on a ridge with gorgeous views and maintained hiking trails. We saw deer, wild turkeys, and lots of birds. Our group rented two houses that were each very well-designed, decorated, well-equipped, and maintained. The property managers are local and were very friendly and helpful. Everyone in our group had a wonderful stay and plan to return. Everything about our stay was excellent!
5.0 / 5.0
The cabin exceeded our expectations! Absolutely gorgeous and equipped with everything we needed! The only thing we didn’t plan for was that the cabin sits in a dry county. Luckily we had picked up groceries and cocktails in Harrison before we checked in. We loved our visit and will definitely visit again!
5.0 / 5.0
The rental and property exceeded expectations. It was clean, spacious and beautifully decorated - it could have been on the cover of a magazine. Location to all the Buffalo National River area has to offer was spot on. We didn't have to go far to enjoy hiking, kayaking and fishing. The only thing I wished for was an additional television in one of the bedrooms instead of just one main TV in the living room.

Our second stay was just as nice as the last time. It looks exactly like the photos. Can't wait to come back!

This property was perfect for allowing us to “get away from it all” without sacrificing any modern conveniences. The surroundings are tranquil and the furnishings are top notch! It is also within close proximity to the Buffalo River. Highly recommend for anyone and we will definitely be back in the future!

My wife and I were looking for a spot to get away from the city for a few days and work/play. It turns out this was a perfect spot. The house and property was one of the best we’ve ever staid at and the owner/host were very helpful and generous. The house is located just a few miles from Verizon 5G towers, so cell connectivity was fast enough to bounce 300+ Mbs. Better yet, the house is in an ideal location for hiking, fishing, kayaking, riding, etc. There was tons of stuff to fill the hours between our workdays on the road. We look forward to our next trip to Sky Hawk.

Perfect!
This cabin is beautifully styled and very well appointed. Modern with a little bit of rustic. The location is great, situated close to the Buffalo River. Great views and the grounds are well kept. It’s a great place for a getaway and an overall wonderful time. You can’t go wrong staying here.

Doesn't get any better!
What a wonderful cabin and property! We absolutely loved our stay. The cabin is so beautiful, comfortable, and very well appointed. It has everything and anything you may want or need. The setting is very peaceful and private even with the other cabins on the property. And the location was great for swimming at a gravel bar on the river. The owners and property managers are quick with communication and very helpful. We were all very sad to leave, including our toddler!

Breathtaking Views
Our stay here was absolutely phenomenal. It is in the perfect location. We had the most wonderful time. The cabin was fully stocked with everything we needed and then some. We have already booked a return vacation on this property in a few weeks. Do yourself a favor and book it. You will not be disappointed!

Brief stay in an impressive, comfortable, and relaxing property
We came across this entry at VRBO and were surprise of its availability. We then learned it was a brand new cabin and had just become available. We were super lucky to reserve the property for the upcoming weekend. The location is great (adjacent to the Buffalo National River but close enough to lakes and to Branson). We had a few false starts due to family issues and the hosts (Donna and Ron) were incredibly understanding. When we entered the cabin we both said "Wow!" It is a beautiful cabin on a tranquil, well-kept property. We enjoyed the evening entertainment watching the sun set while surrounded by fire flies and the sound of tree frogs. The cabin is very comfortable and well-appointed with numerous touches such as the indirect lighting in the open living room. Five stars in every category. Before leaving, we chatted a bit with Ron and he is truly an
expert on all things related to the Buffalo River and he is very conscientious about taking good care of any issues that may arise with the cabin.
Overall, this is a great cabin at a great location with gracious hosts. We will visit again soon.
