Cabin holiday rentals in Ponca

This cabin was in the perfect location for all of the best hiking and kayaking in the area. It's very remote, but lots of food options 30 min away. The cabin itself was adorable and cozy, it was very clean and well kept. The basement was perfect for sleeping. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

We had a wonderful time at the Knotty Pine cabin. It was by far one of the best Airbnbs we’ve ever stayed at. Everything was spotless and the amenities were outstanding. So many extras- from the coffee bar, to the s’mores kit & snack basket, the host went above and beyond to make this the perfect cozy cabin with everything you need! Our favorite was the outdoor space. It rained several times during our stay, but we were still able to enjoy the fireplace & hot tub out on the covered deck. It was so relaxing after a day of kayaking and hiking. Jasper is a cute little town with several places to eat and a grocery store if you decide to cook at the cabin. We visited the Ozark Cafe, the local pizza joint, and Low Gap Cafe. All were good. We also grilled steaks out on the Traeger our last night there. It was perfect! We’re already looking forward to planning our next visit!

This location was the perfect spot for our girls getaway. Between the privacy, fire pit, and hot tub we had our own piece of heaven. The views in this area are breathtaking. Plenty of room and amenities!

The sunrise is supreme. The cabin details were well thought out and they had almost anything you could want. The kitchen is well stocked with extras like oil, coffee, filters, sandwich bags, and plastic cutlery. Sharp knives, Ninja coffee maker, laundry supplies, a lighter for the stove/grill/fire pit, and more. The AC worked well. The storms caused a tree to fall over the driveway and flooded out the hot tub. They were quick to answer and address the issues we had related to the storm. The turn-off is a bit unexpected, so read the access instructions carefully before you get there. It was easy to find with the instructions provided. The location was perfectly central to everything we wanted to do: Buffalo River, MTB at Ponca/Upper Buffalo, waterfalls south of Jasper, hiking and fishing, and Horseshoe Canyon Ranch (definitely look into the Via Ferrata!!!) We will absolutely stay here again.

I absolutely loved staying at this cabin! It was just two of us and our dogs but the host was very responsive and everything was as advertised. As far as the cabin amenities, it has all the basics you would need. But the property itself the real star! It is just incredible. Very private and serene. Front porch sittin that is hard to beat! Bring your binoculars!

We loved it. We came to the area for hiking and canoeing, and while we didn't get to do a LOT of that because of the weather and rain, we still had a fantastic time because we were able to get away, play games, and just relax. We were really impressed with the cabin. The big front porch was great for watching the rain and drinking coffee. The hot tub was great for relaxation. He had everything we needed, and was super friendly and helpful - thank you Davis! The driveway to get to the house may not be for every person or vehicle, but we did not mind. It was totally doable with 4x4, and Davis has spent a lot of time, money, and effort improving it (and is still working on it even over the weekend we were there) - raging flood waters don't take it easy on anyone. Thanks again Davis, for a fantastic place to get away from everything!

Our family stayed here for 5 nights and it was perfect! After exploring all day, it was the perfect place to come back to. Beautiful surroundings, very peaceful, and the host is very responsive. Would definitely recommend!

Such a beautiful and peaceful place to stay. My husband and I were celebrating our 10 year anniversary and enjoyed everything! The view was great and the cabin provided everything we needed. The bed and couch were so comfy! The local town had cute shops and a few great places to eat. So many trails to hike as well. John was very quick to respond to any questions we had. Highly recommend this place to anyone needing peace, solitude, privacy, and relaxation!!

This is one of the best Airbnbs that I’ve stayed in. The house was new and clean and incredibly well stocked. The kitchen had everything we needed and more and there was an abundance of pillows, blankets and clean towels. The beds were comfortable and bathrooms were new, nice, and stocked with shampoo and soaps. The front porch view is absolutely incredible too! We’d absolutely come back!

Great place to stay, close access to riding trials. Definitely would stay here again.

This was my second visit to the Schoolhouse and I loved it even more! Ms. Adrienne was so friendly and helpful, which made my trip even more special! Cannot recommend this quaint place enough. I loved the scenery and the privacy. Just so many happy memories and hope you’ll go!

The owner was very communicative and helpful. He was responsive to our questions about the area and gave us great advice. Our stay, which included two families (total of 10 individuals) stayed very comfortably in this space. We enjoyed being able to cook out and do a campfire/smores with the kids. Firewood was available with a fire pit, which was convenient. The kids loved playing games in the game room when they needed something to do. The porch had a picture perfect view of the mountains, and we loved being able to lounge, have coffee, and chat. Our trip to Falling Water Falls was a huge hit with everyone. We swam there most of the day and explored the area. Anyone traveling in this area should be aware of ticks and how to prepare/manage while exploring the area. Overall, we would love to return.

Really loved this cabin! Great view. The wood ceiling, the double sided fire place, the porch….ALL were great. The only down side for us was the drive way. We were on motorcycles & the drive is loose thick gravel & steep. I wouldn’t let it deter anyone from renting this gem….just beware & be prepared.

Terry is an exceptional host with immaculate cabins! Will be back again.

By far the most well appointed Airbnb we’ve every stayed in anywhere in the world. Whitney & Tom truly thought of everything! From Dyson blow dryers to the Nespresso maker to every kitchen utensil, spice, glassware, serving dishes, and multiple large cutting boards. Truly just show up and begin your vacation. Everything including the hot tub were impeccably clean. Will look forward to staying here again!

Sherry was a super helpful, always responsive host. We really enjoyed our stay at her cabin, the beautiful setting, and some very scenic hiking trails in the area. Our girls loved playing in the fenced yard and the kitties that came to visit.

We had a lovely stay at Covered Bridge Cabin! Perfect for a weekend getaway, close to Buffalo Outdoor Center and hikes we wanted to do. Beautiful setting by Adds Creek. Would love to go back!

Just a quick weekend trip for some stargazing and quiet, this little cabin fit the bill for both!

Laura's place is now my all time favorite place I have stayed. I came to take a break from work, and had so much peace. The cabin was equipped with everything we could need for a short stay, and for cooking instead of eating out. We even had 2 sweet guests, Alli and Finn. Even tho I'm a pet sitter and that's what I was coming down to take a break for; my heart was stilled filled. Laura was the sweetest in helping when I messaged questions and super fast response. We will be coming back to enjoy this sweet cabin . The creek access, to the nature around us, and The Buffalo River right down the road is the perfect get away.

The cabin was cozy and perfect for two. It had a comfy bed and a well-stocked kitchen. The porch and fire pit were perfectly situated to grill out and enjoy the incredible view as well. I highly recommend this cabin and would book again.

The place was beautiful and the stay was wonderful. Such an incredible place and Tammy is an incredible host as well. Very quick to responding and takes good care of the place. Beautiful location❤️

My hubby and I stayed at Anita’s “Cedar Shadows” from June 6 - 9, 2025 to celebrate his birthday. We were so happy to find this beautiful and very private cabin nestled along the bank of Sweden Creek. It was exactly as pictured and Anita was a very welcoming host. She had a great snack basket, bottled water, and even a welcome Mike’s lemonade waiting for our arrival. Everything was so well maintained - inside and out! My favorite area was the HUGE wrap around porch. I would absolutely recommend a stay at this lovely cabin, and I’m hoping we can go back soon!

We’ve come here every year and it’s always so beautiful and well taken care of. They’re always welcoming and we love the brownies!

The pictures of this cabin do not do it justice. When you drive around the bend and see the view it’s breathtaking. The cabin was spotless and had everything we needed! So many places do not have basics like seasonings, ziplocks etc. Betty had all this covered which made everything easier to plan for cooking. There were so many fireflies at night. I loved sitting on the porch and watching them. The bed was extremely comfortable! Betty was responsive quickly when we reached out. Everything about this stay was perfect. I give it 10/5 stars! We will be back for sure! There is also a lot of fun hiking around as well as some amazing food at the Ozark cafe!
