About this cabin rental
ALL NEW AND SUPER-COOL.
Sky Hawk Ridge is place of extraordinary natural beauty, a 185-acre private refuge at the gateway to Buffalo River National Park. This extraordinary, luxury vacation home is brand new and sparkling clean! It’s farmhouse style on the outside, but bright, open and modern inside. The home affords 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 the beautiful landscape. Enjoy misty morning walks through dew-covered fields. Watch radiant 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 at the end of a long drive, about 3/4 mile from the entry. Sited at the end of a prominent ridge, surrounded by meadow and framed by a trio of stately, old oaks, the house affords sweeping views up the 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 September, 2023, 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, warm and inviting. Flanking the great room are two spacious bedroom suites. Separate bathrooms have large, walk-in showers.
703 Sky Hawk Drive is the newest of four vacation homes at Sky Hawk Ridge. (Refer to VRBO listing numbers 1005119 and 1468267 and 2844541 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 serene. 185 acres of natural beauty are yours to explore. You'll love this place! Book your vacation today.

What a wonderful place this is. Highly recommend this property for a couple or a large family. They have multiple listings on this property a large family could utilize for big gatherings. It’s secluded and spaced out well. Trails are a great touch. The river is minutes away to kayak/canoe/fish. The amenities within the house were top notch - from the grill to cooking hardware to dish-ware. All and all top notch experience! Lori and her team were VERY responsive. Definitely will be back.

703 has a beautiful view and the aesthetics of the home were lovely. The two four star ratings come from the listing stating the landscape/yard is manicured because it’s very much natural weeds and grass and unfortunately wasn’t even mowed during our stay. It didn’t hamper anything much and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Great access to different river put ins at Tyler’s bend, grinders ferry, and Gilbert. Would’ve loved access to some nice throws to cuddle up with on the couch at night, but faired fine without

Absolute serenity...the property is gorgeous with breathtaking views and peaceful. We had a wonderful time celebrating our anniversary with our two fur babies. It is definitely a slice of heaven and plan to return next year.

This cabin is amazing and looks like it came out of the movies. The owners thought of everything to ensure a comfortable perfect trip to the Buffalo River! The property is amazing- we saw deer, turkeys, and lightning bugs! It is very close to Buffalo River access points and the hiking trails on the property are nice so you don’t have to leave unless you want to! We can’t wait to stay in one of the properties at Sky Hawk Ridge again.

Myself, my husband, our 11 year old son, and our Frenchie had the most AMAZING time at Sky Hawk Ridge! The property is beyond beautiful, very peaceful, and the location is perfection!! Easy to kayak, hike, cliff jump, or just enjoy the nostalgia of the local area. Lori was amazing through booking process, and Ron & Donna were the most amazing people! Truly a blessed experience overall.

My husband, our two dogs, and I absolutely love staying at Sky Hawk Ridge. Cabin 703 exceeded our expectations – the photos don't do it justice. It was fully equipped with everything we needed, including a thoughtful welcome basket for our four legged children. I highly recommend it!

This place has the views, cleanliness, warm hostesses, and super dog friendly. We could not have asked for more from this location. From the welcome dog basket, to the gorgeous views, and the well maintained trails and home. We will be back and hopefully longer next time. Thank you!!!!

Sky Hawk Ridge is a dream come true if you are looking to get away from city life, relax and enjoy the view. We stayed 3 nights with our dog, just walking the grounds, hiking the trails, watching birds from the back porch, reading and taking naps. The house was well-stocked, and the kitchen was great for preparing all of our meals. We will definitely be back!

We ended up here by accident after we found out that Tyler Bend no longer does first come first serve campsites. Im glad we found this property. Its a fabulous cabin with incredible views. You are close enough to anywhere you need to be, but still feel secluded and liake youre getting away. They are pet friendly and I loved getting to bring our Goldendoodle to float with us for the first time. He loved the cabin and yard just as much as we did. The owners have decorated perfectly and there is everything you need. They also communicated perfectly, but did not hover or micromanage our stay in anyway. I would definitely stay here again and would recommended to any family.

Property was just as photos represented and other visitors commented on. Clean and tidy and very comfortable, quiet and peaceful. It was just what the doctor ordered to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Also, 703 was perfect for our young Aussie to run and play with plenty of yard with the cabin placed at the end of the road....Trixie was in doggy heaven! Very safe from any traffic, which during our midweek stay was basically non existent.
The owner and host were very responsive to our questions and needs, which was greatly appreciated.

Beautiful cabin on secluded acres, only a few other cabins on the property but they are spaces apart well for adequate privacy. Property is exactly as pictured, very clean and well maintained.

Spring break family vacation and had an amazing time! The house is spacious with open concept. Comfortable beds. They thought of everything!! The kitchen is completely stocked with everything you can think of. We cooked breakfast and dinner everyday during our stay. The property is very nice with several hiking trails and so much to do in the area. The mountains, rivers and creeks are gorgeous. We had a relaxing time. We canoed the upper buffalo river and hiked falling water creek which was a very remote area and beautiful scenery.

Beautiful home on a beautiful piece of property. Great place to kick back and relax.

This was our third stay since 2023 at Sky Hawk Ridge but the first in this particular home on the property. And as expected, it was amazing! The property is just gorgeous, the pictures on the listing show the beauty but in person it’s even better. We visited the surrounding towns while there but just staying on the property and enjoying it was all we needed. We are already planning our next trip there.
5.0
Our expectations were exceeded! The house was exceptionally clean and well cared for. The setting was perfect for a few days of rest and relaxation with our two pups. The property allowed us to go for walks with the dogs and enjoy the beautiful views. The view from the living area was beautiful as well. Vaulted ceilings helped the space feel spacious and the gas fireplace/stove made it feel cozy and warm. We cooked breakfast and dinner each day and the kitchen was well stocked. The little touches of dish soap, paper towels, laundry detergent and dryer sheets were all appreciated. We really liked the fact that you welcomed our dogs and provided blankets to cover the furniture (we usually end up scrounging for sheets to protect the furniture) and towels to clean muddy paws. We also appreciated the fact that there was not a long list of to-do's at check-out. When we walked out the door for the last time we both said we'll be back!
5.0
If I could give this property 10 stars I would! It was private, clean, beautiful. The views were spectacular. The fully stocked kitchen had every utensil you would have in your own home. Can’t think of a better spot to have celebrated our anniversary. We will definitely be back!
5.0
We stayed at 703 Sky Hawk for a couple of nights on our anniversary week, and I must say it was a perfect choice.
This cabin at Sky Hawk is the nicest place we've ever stayed. We've traveled extensively in the past five years, but this cabin exceeded all our expectations. We loved our stay and hated to leave.
The first day was rainy and cold, so we enjoyed the beautiful interior, relaxed by the fireplace, and took advantage of the solitude. The property is beautiful and secluded, has relaxing views of the mountains, so very peaceful.
The cabin itself is magnificent. It's spotlessly clean, bright with amazing windows, lofty ceilings, and incredibly cozy. The fireplace is amazing, and it warmed the cabin to toasty comfort on the cold mornings. The showers are great, and the furnishings and details are so genuinely nice. Absolutely 5 Stars! The bed is super comfortable, and the cabin is furnished with everything you need, so just bring your food and you are set.
Sky Hawk is in a wonderful location, near the Buffalo National River and in a Dark Sky location where you can clearly see every star in the sky, which we enjoyed the second night of our stay. It's also close to several nice places to eat.
Overall, this cabin is the perfect place to relax and escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly unforgettable experience.
