Walnut Grove Cabins

Information      Top

The historic Boxley valley near the headwaters of the Buffalo National River provides a pastoral setting for Walnut Grove Cabin and plenty of hiking, fishing, swimming, canoeing and watchable wildlife.

This spacious new cabin was originally constructed for our private weekend retreat and provides space for a large family or a small group. There are two private bedrooms, each with a queen size bed as well as a single bed, a living room and a sitting room couch that fold out, two large bathrooms and lots of floor space. Phone for local calls (Phone card needed for long distance calls) .

Its just off Highway 21 enough to provide a private, peaceful setting and backs up against our wooded hillsides while facing out across a wide pasture towards the old Boxley community building and Boxley Baptist Church.

That pasture provides space for your horses if you wish to bring them along and the trails and backroads surrounding the cabin are perfect for scenic trail rides. Just up the road is the old Beaver Jim Villines log cabin and one of the best places in the county to watch the elk.

From our cabin porch you can see the line where the Buffalo National River winds its way through the valley. It’s the nation’s premier national river and is famous for its bass fishing and for exciting canoeing, especially here on the upper river. The massive limestone bluffs that tower above its crystal waters provide majestic scenery and some terrific hiking. We’re within stone’s throw of some of the best of the rivers hiking trails, Lost Valley, Hemmed In Hollow and Goat Bluff. We have information on all of them available at our cabin, and you can also get information from the National Park Service and their Pruitt Ranger Station. Call 870-741-5443 for information. Canoe rentals and shuttle service are available locally.

That porch we mentioned has a double rocking chair and plenty of benches where you can spend a few hours relaxing with a good book, some music, visiting, or just enjoying the quiet. Beside it is our barbecue area with a picnic table for cookout evenings.

Step inside the door and make yourself at home. There’s a living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom, and bath with Jacuzzi downstairs and a loft bedroom, bath, and sitting room upstairs. The kitchen is fully equipped with cooking and eating utensils. Just bring your food. We have hardwood floors, a big native rock fireplace, comfortable furnishings and a large dining table that will seat six comfortably. Some of our favorite antiques, hand-stitched quilts, and wildlife mounts add to the rustic charm of this spacious cabin. A skylight brings the sun into the comfortably furnished living room, making the cabin cheery even on winter days. You’re in the heart of the Elk Capitol of Arkansas at Walnut Grove Cabin and we’ve found shed antlers almost at our door, so don’t be surprised if you carry your morning coffee out to the porch and find yourself surrounded by some of the estimated 500 animals in the Hilary Jones Elk Herd. Most mornings and evenings, and throughout the day in the winter months, they can be seen somewhere in the fields of this valley.

There are also songbirds, whitetail deer, squirrels, wild turkeys and other game and non-game species also love our fields and river and you can hike the quiet roads and count several species. Or, grab your wildflower guide and set out to identify the many flowers that bloom from earliest spring through frost.

Branson, Missouri, the country music capitol, and the Silver Dollar City theme park are good day trips from this area. Call 417-334-4136 for information on Branson shows and 1-800-952-6626 to find out more about Silver Dollar City. In this area, there are quality craft and antique shops, located along some superb scenic drives where you can enjoy panoramic views, glorious fall color and clouds of snowy spring dogwood.
