Saint Joe Cabin | Couples' Retreat at Buffalo Bender Cabin - Pet Friendly, 2 mi to Buffalo River

1 Bedroom Cabin in Saint Joe, St Joe

Conveniently located less than 2 miles (5 minutes) from the river, this 7-acre property joins the Buffalo National River Park land. Small, but cozy, our tiny house tucked in the woods offers the amenities you want on your Natural State adventure. The cabin is ideal for two people, but can accommodate three. The upstairs loft bedroom features a Sleep Number queen bed so you can get a great night of rest after your day on the river. The couch in the living area folds out for additional sleeping space.
Relax and enjoy the beauty of the Ozarks on the front porch in a rocking chair or on the back deck. We like to spend as much time outside as we can at the cabin, so there is a fire pit, patio set, charcoal grill and outdoor games for guests to enjoy. Deer and other wildlife can often be spotted from the cabin. And don't forget to check out the stars at night! The park was recently designated an International Dark Sky Park for its superb opportunities for star gazing.
The Buffalo Bender kitchen is stocked with a refrigerator, microwave, drip coffee maker, stove/oven, toaster, crock pot, pots and pans, plates, cups, utensils, and basic spices and condiments. Additional items provided include wifi, hair dryer, TV with DVD player and movies, board games, outdoor games, grill with charcoal, bath and beach towels, fan, cooler for use on the river, firewood, and bedding. It's all the fun of camping in the great outdoors without packing the gear!
The cabin is pet-friendly to well-behaved, housebroken dogs with a pet fee of $50. For their safety, we ask that you do not leave pets unattended outside. Please let us know if you plan on bringing your furry friend along so we can put out dog supplies for your visit. If you have pet allergies, our cabin may not be a good fit for you.
The cabin located less than half a mile down a dirt road. The road is easily passable by vehicles with normal clearance.
The Buffalo River is one of America's few free-flowing rivers and features excellent floating, hiking, bluffs, waterfalls, and wildlife. It's an outdoor lover's dream! You can easily rent canoes, kayaks, and rafts at the river concessionaires located half a mile from the cabin. We love to float and hike, so feel free to ask us for recommendations.

Summary: Buffalo Bender Cabin is a cozy and comfy oasis in a beautiful setting! We had everything we needed on hand and easy access to the best launching spots on the mid Buffalo River. There is an excellent, short trail to the best star gazing spot possible, and we had a close encounter with an armadillo for some comic relief. Everything was as described, and we were so impressed with our Wi-Fi access everywhere. We will have to come back for a cooler weather visit, but for a deep summer week, once inside we were chill to our fill.
