My husband and I stayed for our 10 year wedding anniversary. We wanted a relaxing get away and thats exactly what we got. The hot tub was definitely the best part. There was some problems with the water before our trip but Melissa reached out and gave us multiple options. Super sweet! Luckly the pipes unfroze and everything was okay. Definitely will be staying again!!!!

Amazing Rental
Everything about this rental was perfect! It was extremely clean and very well stocked. The location was gorgeous and located near the BRT. It was perfect for our daily hikes. The fire pit and hot tub were a great touch.
Absolutely beautiful retreat in the trees .. surrounded by mountains and the Buffalo river .. we enjoyed everything about this place

Great Adventure
My husband and I go on a Great Adventure every year with our grandchildren. We choose a cabin in the mountains with a stream so the children can play and look for animals they don’t normally see. We saw goats, a chipmunk, turkeys, fish—and my husband even saw a bob cat as well. We also explored the Buffalo River and the Bull Shoal Caverns. The children not only loved the caverns, but insisted on exploring every bit of history located there. The home was beautiful, inside and out. We had everything we needed there. The loft was a plus for the children. Wonderful experience. Beautiful piece of earth and nature.

Wonderful Time
We had a wonderful time at the Dogwood House!!! The cabin was charming! We enjoyed the hot tub and the creek behind the cabin. My husband is an avid horseshoe player and was impressed at the quality of the horseshoes. I wish we could have stayed at least one more day to fully enjoy everything the property had to offer! I would love to return sometime and maybe stay in another property at Nature's Loft!

Cozy Hideaway
The dogwood house was wonderful! The location is very remote, which we loved. Everything you need for a getaway is located on site and the pantry was well stocked. The creek is beautiful and just a couple of minute walk from your house. The hot tub and fire pit made for a romantic relaxing trip. We would highly recommend this location to anyone looking to get away and unplug! Local trails and the nearby Buffalo River are an added bonus.

Amazing Home with Amazing Amenities!!!
The first thing i can say about this amazing home is all of the amenities that Melissa provides for your stay. From all of the outdoor comforts to the inside of this beautiful, well thought out loft. We arrived on February 2nd and departed on February 5th and enjoyed every second that we spent at the home and on the surrounding property. It was truly a magical, relaxing time staying there. I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to detach themselves from all of the hustle and bustle associated with everyday life to stay at one of their beautiful lofts. Until we return!!!!

Wonderful EXPERIENCE!
What a wonderful experience! The house was very clean and supplied with everything you could possibly need. I never really expected to find such a luxurious home tucked away in the mountains of Arkansas. My only regret is not booking it longer. Highly recommend.

Peaceful
The cabin was beautiful and in a beautiful location! It was secluded and very peaceful. The cabin was stocked with everything you might need. The hot tub was wonderful and relaxing! We will definitely go back!
Cabin was excellent , clean, and modern. The rain made out journey a bit more stressful but once we arrived, all was worth it. Hot tub was wonderful, kitchen has everything you need to cook, and beds and linens were comfortable. Would definitely book again and recommend!

About the host
Hosted by Melissa Barnes
My name is Melissa Barnes and I am your host. I love to entertain so sharing Nature's Loft was something I was so excited to do. I feel it is so important in this day in time to seek out areas where you can relax, reset, and reconnect without distractions and without giving up modern luxurious amenities. I wanted to offer a place in the woods but not a cabin in the woods. I wanted to offer luxury surrounded by nature. So this is the dream that started the vision for Nature's Loft. My husband Jeff and I created this magical place to be an adult playland. We wanted to offer a place where adults could enjoy themselves in peace and quiet. I have five children and six grand children so getting time away is welcoming. I hope you find this place to be as magical as we do.
Why they chose this property
Nature's Loft is 30 acres of remote beauty. We are only 4.4 miles from the amazing Buffalo River at Gilbert Ar. so the location is perfect. There is so much at your front door. So many out door activities and day trip destinations close by. It is an area that is very centrally located. The nature of this place is beautiful and is very special. It is such a breath of fresh air.
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.
