Stunning New Home at Sky Hawk Ridge, a 185-Acre Refuge ONE MILE to Buffalo River

ESCAPE THE CROWDS to the Great Outdoors!

Sky Hawk Ridge is place of extraordinary beauty, a 185-acre natural refuge at the gateway to Buffalo River National Park. This stunning vacation home is one year old and sparkling clean! It’s traditional Bungalow Style on the outside, bright and open inside. The cabin has breathtaking views of the Buffalo River Valley and manicured grounds all around. The expansive, private-park setting is shared with just three other cabins.

THE LAND

When you stay at Sky Hawk Ridge, you won't stay inside for long. Roam the land and discover the wonders of this beautiful landscape. Enjoy misty morning walks through dew-covered fields. Watch gorgeous sunsets over Ozark Mountains. When you walk along Sky Hawk's long ridge, you see up the Buffalo River Valley to layered green hillsides and distant blue ridge lines. You see rolling meadows with sentinel oaks, cattle grazing in lush pastures, deep green woods ... nature's beauty at every turn.

Explore miles of private trails that wind through dense forests and beside crystal streams. Wildlife is everywhere -- deer, turkey, fox, owls, songbirds, and all sorts of woodland creatures. Be dazzled by spring flowers, blue summer skies, rich fall colors, or foggy winter mornings. Sky Hawk Ridge is a nature-lover's paradise all year long.

LOCATION

Sky Hawk is just off US 65 on the north side of the Buffalo River. Restaurants, canoe rentals and river access points at Grinders Ferry, Gilbert and Tyler Bend are less than ten minutes away, but at Sky Hawk you’re secluded and surrounded by natural beauty -- away from it all.

The entrance is on the Gilbert Road (Hwy. 333), just 0.4 mile east of US 65. The cabin is about a half mile from the entry. Sited at the top of a ridge and flanked by a line of stately, old oaks, the house affords sweeping views up the Buffalo River Valley.
The property has 3/4 mile of park frontage, and the Buffalo River Trail is just steps from the property corner. The park trail leads about a mile down to a long, wide gravel bar at Shine Eye Bluff -- the perfect spot to picnic, swim, fish or enjoy a lazy afternoon. (Shine Eye is also accessible by road, a five minute drive.)

ACCOMMODATIONS

Completed in June 2022, this comfortable home has plenty of room for your family or two couples. Stunning architecture and tasteful furnishings make the house memorable in its own right. High dormer windows in the two-story living area and large windows in every room let you see forest and sky all around. The interior is sunny and uplifting ... like the great outdoors. Flanking the great room are two spacious bedroom suites. Separate bathrooms have large, glass, walk-in showers.

There are three other vacation homes at Sky Hawk Ridge. Refer to VRBO listing numbers 1005119, 1468267 and 3613801 for more information. Houses are spaced 500-1,200 feet apart, allowing plenty of separation for everyone's privacy. The land is for all to enjoy, so feel free to discover what lies around the bend.

Sky Hawk Ridge has the finest vacation homes anywhere near the Buffalo River. It's at the center of everything but peaceful and secluded. There are gorgeous views all around. 185 acres of natural beauty are yours to explore. You will love this place! Book your vacation today.
During your stay at this vacation home, you'll be within walking distance of Buffalo National River. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a kitchen in the vacation home.

A unique spot in the woods
If you are seeking a place to get away from the daily and find tranquility in the woods without giving up the comforts of modern life this is the place for you. An exceptionally charming and well-equipped place with vast access to hiking trails and river experiences.

Perfect weekend!
Our stay at Sky Hawk Ridge was exactly what we were looking for! The cabin had everything we needed and the property was beautiful and a hop, skip, and a jump from several great swimming holes on the Buffalo. We will definitely be back!

Fantastic stay next to the river
We stayed for four nights in October and had a fantastic time. This is the cleanest and most well stocked house we have ever stayed at. Check in and communication was great - plenty of space for our family of 4. Spent several evenings on the porch watching the sunset and wildlife.

The privacy and the views were amazing. The tranquility of the entire area was incredible. We loved the feel of the cabin because it made you feel at home immediately. The close proximity to many adventures was another reason for selecting this place. We loved it and hope to return again.

A beautiful cabin, designed perfectly for 2 couples. The back deck became our favorite spot, we had morning coffee there and watched stars at night. The kitchen was very well stocked . The bathrooms were amazing. I can highly recommend this cabin!

My Happy Place
The house is stunning! The moment you walk through the door you immediately begin to feel relaxed and that is just the beginning. With free range over the entire property and it being a private drive, I was very at ease letting our three young children roam about. We enjoyed a few of the hiking trails followed by smores around the outside fireplace. Mornings were so enjoyable wrapped in a blanket on the front porch drinking coffee and watching all of the wildlife. The days were spent kayaking on the river. This property has several homes on it so we love coming back here and to the buffalo river! We hope to see this place again by the end of October.

This was our second visit to Sky Hawk Ridge and we were already discussing our third visit when we left. It truly is amazing from the location with easy access to everything and stunning views….and the home itself has the perfect layout and couldn’t be decorated more beautifully. We enjoyed walking the grounds and seeing deer on the same path and just being surrounded by nature….so peaceful and just the energy we needed to come back home and tackle life.

We had an incredible stay at Sky Hawk Ridge. The property + surroundings were beautiful, our cabin was perfect (clean + brand new), and the host was very responsive. Tons of fun things to do - float down the Buffalo, hiking, S’mores around the camp fire, star gazing - so fun. Looking forward to coming back !!

Such a beautiful place with all the amenities. Stayed here for three nights while we hiked and floated the Buffalo River. It was within driving distance of anything we needed but secluded enough to feel out on our own. Hosts checked in with us and made sure we had everything we needed. Will definitely book here again! Thank you! Emily W

Weekend Getaway
Such a stunning retreat. Natural light wanders all through the house and breezes find their way in with the windows open (but bugs never found their way through the bud screens). It really is a fantastic gathering pace for a group of friends. We spent a lot of the afternoons gathering in the combined living room / kitchen, and beautiful mornings on the back porch over looking the valley. Lots of great trails to walk along and a great kitchen space to make a meal together. Also, was very close to the float services for our trip down the buffalo. The star gazing by the fire pit and a moonlight stroll were such a nice ways to close out the evening. We can’t wait to make it back to Sky Hawk Ridge!

My husband and I wanted a quick getaway and debated on a few different places before deciding on this one. I am SO glad we chose to stay here. It is truly a breathtakingly gorgeous property, from the cabin to all the surrounding acres. It is definitely food for the soul and you will fall in love with this place!!

Relaxing and Great Getaway, Always nervous when you stay somewhere for the 1st time, that was short lived once we arrived at Sky Hawk. The property the service were Outstanding we absolutely fell in love with the property and it's surrounding . Diana and her husband were great it was like talk to an old friend. The house was spotless and stock with everything you will need for your stay. Hard to give a 5 star rating because you think their has to be something they could improve on, not at Sky Hawk. Sky Hawk is a must stay we will return soon, Thanks Paul & Jennifer
