This property is an excellent location as a home base for a paddle trip on the middle and lower Buffalo River. It is immaculately clean and extremely comfortable, including the beds. It has great showers and very modern appliances. It is simple, elegant, easy to use, and a place that is easy to relax. The owner provides excellent hospitality and communication, typically responding promptly to messages. LOVED IT. 10/10!

Perfect spot

This place is a gem! Perfectly placed and well kept inside and out. Plenty of space, plenty of dishes, comfy beds and living room furniture! Great water pressure for your shower and the place held temp perfectly. They have an awesome binder with menus and suggestions. Just a couple minutes from family friendly areas on the river and good food! Becky was very easy to deal with and gave great recommendations!

Nice Place But...

Off the beat. Private, and very quiet. However, I did leave a few items of clothing behind. I did try to contact the owner about retuning the items at my expense, but I never heard a word. I can understand why they may not want to hassle with the return, but it would have been nice at least to get a follow up email instead of no response at all.

Hiking trip

The house is just as the pictures depict it. Very stylish with new appliances and bathroom features. One bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with a walk in shower. The other bedroom uses the common room bathroom that has a full tub/shower. Washer and dryer. Betsy, the property manager, was helpful with any questions I had. Will rent again for sure!

Comfortable furniture.

I picked this rental because the living room furniture looked comfortable, and it was. We came up to hike trails around the Buffalo River. The location on the road to Gilbert was great, the house was very clean, the kitchen was stocked with coffee, and the beds were good. Perfect cabin for us!

Family Float Trip

The property was amazing! There was plenty of room for my family of 5 grown kids. Having a washer and dryer along with two full bathrooms was great. The house was stocked with everything we needed and location to Gilbert was a very short drive. Will definitely book again!

Wonderful stay!

We had a great weekend with friends! We came to float the Buffalo and enjoyed our time at Paddle and Play. The location is close to Gilbert and we used Buffalo Camp and Canoe at the Gilbert Store. Paddle and Play was a nice place to relax after driving over the first day and after a full day of floating the second day. It was just as described and super clean! Highly recommend!
