Wonderful! Will stay again!
We spent a few days at Nature's Loft in The Bridge House. The cabin was absolutely beautiful. The owners had thought of everything! The cabin is beautiful, the area is stunning, and you are just a short walk to the river where there is a beautiful area to play/relax/swim. We will be rebooking soon to return with our kids to take some time to enjoy nature!
We loved our stay at the Bridgehouse! It was stocked full of anything a couple would need including cookware, toiletries, cleaning supplies, and adequate WiFi. The A-frame house was designed to utilize every bit of space, nooks and corners included, while still managing to feel spacious and luxurious. We plan to visit again!

Beautiful private experience!
Absolutely loved our stay and will for sure be back!
My wife and I arrive for her birthday and out anniversary and the place was beautiful BUT the bath tube didn’t hold water and the shower head was stopped up and we had to shower with the hand sprayer however she had the plumber come out and take care of the problem on that aspect anyway the hot tub only half of the jets worked the lights leading to the hot tub didn’t work while the plumber was there I smoked a cigarettes on the porch and she messaged me telling me I can’t smoke on the property I asked how she knew I was smoking she stated that she seen my on the door bell ring cam that was annoying because now I feel as if she is spying on us and she was talking about some kind of a ozone filtration to go in the house because of a cigarette smoke that was outside never want smoked in the property had the door closed while smoking placed all the butts in a glass bottle she’s worried about Cigarette smoke, but yet there is a pit boss ocher on the front porch close to the front door as well as a fire pit just behind The house on the property if you want to get food and go eat something they don’t tell you is the property is an hour from everything and everything closes about 7:00 PM take your own foods or you will be in the vehicle the entire trip The four mini splits was a headache to figure out how to make them all work together we will not be staying or renting from this person ever again

Highly recommend!
Wow! My friends and I stayed at The Bridge House and we absolutely loved every bit of it. The house is very well designed all the way down to the color scheme. Everything in the house was so comfy! The beds...wow! Kitchen was fully stocked with dishes and utensils. The bathroom was very dreamy and relaxing. The jacuzzi was perfect. We had such an amazing and relaxing time that we did not want to leave. The hosts were very helpful and responsive when we had concerns. If you're looking for a place to get away for any occasion at Natures Lofts are the places to be. Definitely will be coming back again soon! Thank you!
My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights and found it very enjoyable. The bridge house is a well built A frame cabin nestled in the ozarks near the Buffalo river. It is part of a resort with 3 other cabins within the same area. The owner was easy to communicate with through email. The cabin itself had several amenities such as a hot tub, fire pit, grill, towel warmer, and so much more. While in the area we explored the surrounding area of Gilbert by the river, an overlook called Red Bluff Overlook, and adventured as far as Boxley to see Elk and hike to Hawksbill Crag. One final note about our stay was that the online guide that is provided was very thorough and helpful. Would stay again!

Took my wife for an early Christmas present as a reading get away from the hustle and bustle of our normally busy lives, this place was everything we were looking for! The house was spotless and we were impressed with how well they brought comfort and style to the middle of the woods!

Relaxing and beautiful place to stay!
Such a beautiful location with a very unique house. Everything was well stocked, clean, and just what we were looking for! Melissa was an amazing host and was quick to answer any questions we had! Thank you so much for having us, we hope to come back again soon!!
We were looking for a secluded spot for a little hiking and kayaking getaway. Beautiful little gem in the woods with all the amenities! Loved the huge window in the bathroom (don’t worry, there is a pull down privacy shade), the awesome little bridge, and of course the hot tub! Communication with the owner was great.
We had a great & relaxing time! Everything was perfect!

We had an incredible stay. It was more than we dreamt. You truly won’t forget it. It’s a beautiful area and the owners are great. We had a bit of bad weather and they were beyond accommodating.

Amazing experience!!!
This was the perfect getaway for me and my wife. We desperately needed an escape and somewhere to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. This place had everything we needed! From relaxing in the hot tub in the middle of the woods, to the heated towels when you get out of the shower. If you are looking for a place that is relaxing and quiet, this is it!

Rejuvenating, relaxing, peaceful, serene!
My husband and I wanted a little getaway for a couple of days and we were thrilled when we came across the Bridge House at Natures Loft online. A beautiful little paradise nestled in the woods near Gilbert AR! The home itself is just as cute as can be and Melissa, the host, really thought of everything as far as design and function are concerned! Not only is it modern, it is very cozy. My husband and I loved the unground hot spa outside. We used it 3 times in less than 24 hours! The last time while it was gently raining! It was so nice and so very relaxing. We used the firepit both nights , and it was great! And then there is the wonderful front deck where we sat and just enjoyed the beauty of the trees and the quiet! And the Adirondack chairs out there were super comfortable. While we were outside we saw Melissa, the host , at the end of the drive watering the beautiful hanging baskets and we visited with her for a bit and heard the story of how Natures Loft came to be. It is truly a labor of love for her and it shows in everything she has done. She is very helpful and wants her guests to love it as much as she does. The main floor bed has a super comfy topper that you just melt into!
Lastly, we got to tour the dogwood house and the barn house and you couldn’t go wrong with either one! We are hoping to get back down there in the Fall for another stay. We highly recommend it!

New Year Retreat
Wrapping up an extended weekend at The Bridge House and I've had quite the time.
If you're like us and want to escape the noise to get out in the woods with winding roads and rolling hills.
Beautiful sunrises and blissful sunsets...
Then At Nature's Loft is your place!
It's passable with a small sedan but would definitely recommend an SUV or Truck to maximize your fun.

Exactly as listed, perfect hideaway!
This was an awesome cabin experience! I know the area well, we usually do BRO about decided to try a new cabin and so glad we did! We extended our stay by a night, it was such a good experience!
Everything was perfect. All the extra touches you don’t usually see were great! The fire pit, hot tub & bathroom tub were awesome amenities. Loved the surroundings & the relaxation we had on this vacation. We will definitely be back.
We loved the house and our visit. Went on an amazing hike to see the waterfall and kayaked the Buffalo River. The hot tub and fire pit were a treat to return to after a day of hiking and kayaking. The house was super clean and had everything you could imagine you might need. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

About the host
Hosted by Melissa Barnes
My husband Jeff and I have a passion for creating luxurious homes for our clients. We saw a need for remote private vacation rentals so we brought our talents into that market. We are very proud of our vacation homes and what they offer our guests. We want our guests to be spoiled . Our vacation homes are carefully thought out and planned so that our guests can relax unwind and reset. As my husband and I get older we find ourselves longing for that more and more. Each one of our vacation homes is unique offering something a little different. We hope our homes can help you find the peace and rejuvenation you are looking for.
Why they chose this property
My husband and I discovered the property that is now Nature's Loft in 2021. We were driving around looking for rural property near the Buffalo River. We were in love the minute we saw it. The feeling was magical as I walked around the property. Such a feeling of serenity and peace. I felt lighter and did not want to leave. We purchased the property and I had the idea I wanted to share this feeling with others. Thus the creating of Nature's Loft..
What makes this property unique
The unique benefits of our homes is the setting paired with the amenities we offer. Peaceful and beautiful and surrounded by nature. Our homes at Natures Loft are luxurious. The modern amenities will leave you wanting for nothing. It is truly nature's luxury. Our rock like hot spas are perfect. They are unique and welcoming. We have tried to think of everything that will make our homes welcoming and comfortable. We want our guests to be spoiled.
