About this cabin rental

The Homestead Farmhouse was built by Alonzo and Ersie Spencer. They raised a family with six children in this home that was built during the depression using lumber taken from trees on the property. Through the years it has been modernized. I am the their granddaughter and I used it for an art studio and gallery until the summer of 2015. I totally remodeled and updated the interior. There is a large new kitchen, 2 bedrooms and a bathroom with a shower featuring handprinted tiles. There is energy efficient heating and cooling. There is a wonderful large porch on the front. A remnant of early times, the root cellar is in back of the house. The smoke house is no longer standing. There are two ponds on the property and a wooded 40 acres to explore. The Homestead has the added convenience of not being on a dirt road. For this reason it is perfect for motorcycles. The location is about half way between Jasper and Ponca. It is close to Buffalo river access and hiking trails.

The host was very communicative. She called prior to check in to confirm we had adequate directions and the door code. The location of the house is quiet. It’s fairly close to the road, so you do need to be mindful of small children. It’s also conveniently located in between Ponca and Jasper. We had a very nice stay.

A lovely place, comfortably appointed with great hiking nearby. Don't miss the hike to nearby Triple Falls and Hammerschmidt Trail. Loved the ponds on the property, the dining room table, the porch. Because of the table I think it would make an awesome, affordable place for 2 couples (who don't mind one bathroom and twin beds in one of the bedrooms ... I wouldn't mind that at all)

We enjoyed our stay. The renovated farmhouse was perfect for the two of us. Even though we were near a highway we didn't hear highway "noise" except for the occasional motorcycle. Location was great for a quick trip in to Jasper to the grocery store / Ozark Cafe and a short distance from seeing elk at Boxley valley.

This was the worst vrbo I have ever stayed at! Problems right from the start before we even left! For 1 we didn't stay in the house tagged by the website! She made a mistake and double booked it, so she had to put us into another 1 she owns. Which sucked for various reasons! We booked the home and thought all would be good, but no a few hours later we got a message saying there were issues which caused us alot of unneeded stress! Upon calling it took hours (and this was hours of stress as we were only 3 days away from leaving for the trip) for her to call back. This was a motorcycle trip, the initial home we booked had a nice flat drive way, but we couldnt have that home because of mistakes on the owner's behalf! The home she put us in had a very steep decapitating driveway with a turn and a huge pot hole in said turn too boot! Highly not recommended for motorcycles! Especially if your a newer rider! No flat surfaces on the property! No good places to park your bike or a trailer! We made do, but it was ruff! The house reeked of mold! To the point of noses burning and coughing fits! Therefore we spent most of our time outside! As we couldnt stand being in the house! It's quite obvious why its smelled of mold so bad with all the water damage in the ceilings! In the kitchen the dryway was litterlly hanging down from all the moisture! Water stains, the floor showed stains as well from the lack of attention and cleaning. The maintenance guy came on monday fully aware of the problem. Why was this rented out knowing about these issues? Obviously the owner was fully aware! I then had to deal with the maintenance man! Who didnt fix it during our stay! I informed him we would be gone all day and to please go ahead and fix it however he did not! The air conditioning went out on the second day of our stay we woke up hot and sweaty! For someone prone to migraines, with sleep being a hug factor in those migraines this was terrible! Ruined the entire days plans! The owner couldnt get anyone to fix it until 7pm it was 95 degrees out! The grass during the majority of our stay was knee high! The bugs were crazy probably because of the over grown grass! We were afraid to walk the property over fear of snakes being in the tall grass. We booked the place for a week the grass was finally cut the day before we left, they came early! Woke us up! Again another disturbed sleepless morning. Again for some one with migraines this was terrible! Another lost day on our t

Property has everything you need. Cafe, groceries, and gasoline located 5 miles east in Jasper. Camp store, fuel and hiking info 14 miles west in Ponco. Beautiful area and quietness all around. Great WiFi and washer/dryer. Mid-June canoeing comes to a halt in this area so had to go to St Joe which was 1.25 hours away. Otherwise a great stay and very relaxing.

We stayed 4 nights. The farmhouse has so many original features— doors, door and window frames, wood floors. It reminded me of my grandpa’s farmhouse. The updated kitchen and bathroom were nice. Location was good— 10 minutes from Jasper, and many hiking trails within 30-40 minutes. King size bed was comfy, as was the loveseat when we spent one rainy day bingeing Netflix. The location was so peaceful! It was the most relaxing getaway we had had in a couple of years.

We spent a weekend in this very well located property in the upper Buffalo River area. I would recommend it for a small family weekend getaway as it has large open spaces to the back and one side. The place is a historic homestead, has been renovated, and is simple and efficient.

Farmhouse on quiet property with a pond

Farmhouse on quiet property with a pond

Overall we really enjoyed our stay here. My partner and I stayed for a week over Thanksgiving. We choose this place because it’s just 10 minutes away from Horseshoe Canyon Ranch where we were rock climbing, and they accept dogs. The home is an old farmhouse with some updates. Full kitchen with lots of plates, bowls, silverware, cookware etc. BYO spices and foodstuffs, however. Furniture was comfy and in good condition. The style was quite eclectic and a bit mismatched, but did the trick for us. Plenty of blankets, pillows, towels. The property is large and word be great for a dog that is reliable off-leash, but is on the main road - so good recall is a must! Big trees, a pond, and some old dilapidated out buildings. The porch would be lovely to sit on in the summer with a glass of lemonade (or something stronger?). Our only real complaint was the WiFi, it’s DSL and struggled with 2 of us on video calls. Will do the trick for lightweight internet needs, but for those needing a fast connection this might not do it for you. Host was minimally communicative, but polite and got us what we needed. Directions to the place were minimal - Google maps doesn’t recognize the address but Apple Maps got us right there with no problems. Overall a positive experience and we would stay here again.

The house was clean and well-equipped for cooking and eating. When we arrived, the house was cold, but after calling the owner for information, we discovered how to turn on the heater and the place warmed up. There were also numerous electric heaters. The location was convenient for activities along the Buffalo River. The owner was very helpful and answered all communications promptly.
