2 Bedroom Cabin in Saint Joe

Blue Canoe Cabin is located in north central Arkansas in the heart of the Middle Buffalo River area, just steps away from Buffalo National River, near Gilbert, Arkansas, and includes over 20 acres of forest and fields with mountain views, unobstructed night time sky viewing, abundant wildlife, and privacy. This property is close to hiking, floating, swimming, fishing and nature watching activities. The cabin is ideal for a smaller family, two couples or a guys or girls weekend as it can sleep up to six people comfortably with one queen bed, one full bed, one sleeper loveseat full bed and one full bathroom. The cabin is pet friendly.
Blue Canoe Cabin was completely remodeled in 2021 and boasts modern amenities, comfort and thoughtful upgrades throughout. There are large windows everywhere, providing views in all directions to the hills and woods just outside. The downstairs was reconstructed with accessibility in mind. The lower level is wheelchair accessible with wide doorways and ADA features in the bathroom, including a low profile shower basin. There is a wheelchair accessible ramp to access the front deck and cabin entry. The cabin itself contains approximately 1000 sf on two levels. Additionally, there is generous outdoor living space which includes a 150 sf screened in porch facing southeast with sunrise views, a huge 375 sf covered front porch with seating and dining table which faces northwest for spectacular sunset views and a detached 320 sf covered pavilion with outstanding views of Pilot Mountain.

- One private bedroom downstairs (full sized bed)
- Open concept full kitchen and living room downstairs
- One private bathroom with shower and laundry facilities downstairs

This is the ideal location to serve as your home base to explore the middle Buffalo River, especially if your plans include a float trip through the family friendly stretch of river between Tyler Bend and Gilbert. The Buffalo River is less than 1/2 mile as the crow flies from the cabin back door. The river is so close you will feel it here in the weather, the foggy mornings, the dew on the ground, seeing the herons and kingfishers passing overhead to and from the river. The Buffalo National River park boundary borders the property for 1/4 mile, providing direct foot access to the park. In fact, it's possible to hike to Shine Eye in 45 minutes or to Gilbert in about 1 hour directly from the cabin, enjoying river bluff views and historic sites in the forest as you hike along the old Buffalo River Trail.

Summary: We were excited for the stay based off the pictures, but the pictures honestly do not do it justice. The property is gorgeous as soon as you drive up the driveway. The cabin was in excellent condition and very very clean! The front window3s are amazing. It's easy to stare out at the view every second you are there. Every window has a nice view of the property, and the upstairs loft is the most fun to wake up in. We could see the deer in the yard before we even got out of bed. Just awesome. The fire area is done really well with large stones surrounding it keeping it very safe for kids and easy to start a fire. They have plenty of fire wood ready for use so you don't have to find any. David and Kristin have thought of every little detail for the guests, and were very helpful and responsive. They made a professional style brochure with good information about the cabin and for things to do around the area. We canoed the buffalo with buffalo river outfitters which is only a few minutes away. We drove to Cotter for some trout fishing on the White river, which is about 50 minutes away, but not bad. We took our lab with us on this trip, and she may have had the most fun exploring the property. We could not have asked for a better place to spend a few days near the buffalo river. We will return!

Summary: Great communication and thorough details from David and Kristin leading up to our stay. Then upon arrival the house was thoughtfully furnished and prepared for every need. From the beautiful art, books, games, labeled lights switches, twinkle lights, stargazing spots, and so many other things. Our family really enjoyed having such a relaxing spot to meet for a sibling birthday weekend. Looking forward to staying again for more sunsets and time on the Buffalo!

Summary: We normally do beach vacations, which aren’t my favorite, but they’re easy. For a few years now, we’ve been saying we would like to go to Arkansas to do hiking and canoeing/kayaking, but wanted to wait until our younger two children were a little older and could handle the outdoor activities. This cabin and the location did not disappoint. We were a short drive from the Buffalo River and did a one day float trip from Tyler Bend to Gilbert, which was so much fun. We also took the children to see two different waterfalls that were definitely worth the drive. Plenty of wildlife was visible while driving up the driveway to the cabin itself including turkeys and deer. Definitely recommend staying here.

Summary: Our family had a wonderful time staying at the Blue Canoe Cabin! We especially enjoyed the front covered deck with beautiful views of the ridge, especially at sunset. There is a fire pit that’s perfect for making s’mores out front and a covered patio area for grilling. The property is extremely well maintained with lots of attention to detail. We had fun finding frogs at night and watching the birds with nests fly around the cabin. My father in law saw a deer and a fawn from the back porch one morning. The location borders the Buffalo National Forest area and is behind a gate, so it’s very private. We floated the river down to Gilbert and liked that it’s a short drive from there back to the cabin. The host, David, was very responsive and helpful-even left us some cookies to enjoy! We’d definitely like to return someday!
