Serving as America’s first official national river, the 135-mile Buffalo National River runs through the vast wilderness of northern Arkansas. Here, not only will you find towering trees, colorful wildflowers, misty waterfalls and interesting wildlife, you’ll also find a plethora of cabin rental options to suit your Buffalo River vacation needs.
Sprawling across more than 1,000 acres of wilderness, Bear Creek Log Cabins offers five cabin rentals, all big enough to suit large groups and families yet secluded enough to offer a haven for a romantic getaway for two. All cabins feature a stone fireplace, outdoor charcoal grill, fully-equipped kitchen, screened porch in the back and covered porch in the front, and satellite TV with a VCR or DVD player. Activities include canoeing, swimming, rafting, hunting and horseback riding, as well as hiking, biking, and four-wheeling along private trails.
