About this property

Big Oak Cabin - mountaintop home near Jasper

Big Oak Cabin is a split-level, 2 bedroom, 2 bath house, with 2 separate living rooms. Situated on 5 acres high in the Ozarks, the house is much larger than it looks from the picture, with a large front porch and west-facing rear deck overlooking a pond and splendid sunsets. Only a few miles from the Buffalo River and numerous hiking trails to overlooks and waterfalls, half a mile from Cliff House Restaurant and five miles south of the quaint town of Jasper. Conveniently located on Hwy 7, Big Oak is a place of quiet Ozark peace.

One of the best features of staying at our place is, we owners are very well-informed about the area and have served as guides to many trails. We know the region extremely well and are happy to give you all the detailed information you need to find any sort of trail or attraction.

Good property if you're looking for a base camp to ride the Ozarks

The Big Oak Cabin was an excellent choice to stay for Bob and I. From there we were able to enjoy riding our motorcycles on some of the best roads Arkansas has to offer. The cabin offers everything we needed to cook our own meals, do our laundry, store our bikes out of the weather and sleep. What more could you ask for?

Comfortable

At first the accommodations appeared dated and questionable, but once unpacked and relaxed, the place grew on us. Everything was comfortable, clean and convenient. The old oak tree grew on us, and it was so nice to sit on the porches and experience the fall weather. As we left, we commented on how much we enjoyed your place and it's quiet, setting. fall weather.

Our stay at Big Oak Cabin

The house was clean with plenty of linens and necessities. We loved the location and it was well kept. My 5 yr old granddaughter simply loved climbing all the stairs! We spent a lot of time at the Buffalo River, enjoying the water and having picnics as well as exploring the area and eating at the local restaurants. We look forward to coming back there again whenever possible.

About the host

Hosted by Dennis & Naomi Gundersen

Host profile image
We're Dennis & Naomi, seasoned hikers and lovers of the Ozarks. Our business is publishing children's books reprinted from the 1800s. We stay here at Big Oak Cabin as frequently as we can, often 6 to 8 times each year. The Ozarks are abundant in trails that are easily hiked by almost anyone, while also having very challenging options. We're glad to help you find the right outdoors adventure for you and those traveling with you!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Big Oak Cabin back when it was only a private residence, and bought it to enjoy it for our own trips, as well as to share with others. Its immense trees, including "Big Oak" himself (the 350 year old tree out front) give the property an amazing character. We've never found anywhere so relaxing.
