    I'm so happy that I came across a Facebook post where someone recommended BRO. We are not…read moreexperienced kayakers and you should keep that in mind as you read this because that is the perspective from which I write. The person who took my reservation on the phone was fantastic. When we got to their main location, the girls who helped get us ready were outstanding. There was one person in particular, who was so incredibly helpful and put us at ease. When you finish up your registration you can use the restrooms at their store and there's plenty of merchandise that you can buy, both things that are helpful (think sunscreen, dry bags, snacks), and things that are fun, like postcards and stickers. We paid for a tandem kayak and for a valet service, which was very helpful and made it so that we had to drive to the put in place and then only had to pick up our car when we got to the end of our time. I didn't realize that the drive to the place where we would pick up the kayak and start our float (about 18 mins from the store) was over about 2 miles of a VERY bumpy, dusty, rocky road. Somebody might have mentioned it or it was in the literature, but I just missed it and was slightly worried because we just had a 2 wheel drive rental, and it was rough riding to get there so keep that in mind. When we arrived there was a pit toilet which was helpful and the guys helping with the boats were good (You might want to have some cash to give you a tip although I don't think that's expected but our guy was extra helpful.) Also I want to mention that I am plus-sized and had no problems with the kayak at all. We had an incredible time and it took us about three hours altogether including one stop along the way of about 20 minutes where we ate a snack (made sure to clean all of our trash up), swam for a while and went on our way. We went on a Tuesday at 11am and thought it was slightly crowded, it never felt overwhelming, and we were able to slow down or speed up whenever we felt that we were too close to another group. I also thought that people were respectful when they had speakers and it was never loud or obnoxious. Two things I didn't know before that I hope can help someone else. The first is that there were a couple of times when we went over fast moving water (I can't even really call it rapids, but definitely moving quickly) where we got stuck on the rocks and almost turned over. Not a huge deal and almost entirely due to our lack of experience, but just keep that in mind it's not 100% floating peacefully the entire time. Once we had that experience on the first couple times we were completely fine for the rest. The other thing is that just past the place where you pull in and drop off your kayak is a super fun area where you can paddle into a cave, jump from the rocks, and just kind of hang out. If we would've known that it was there we would've stayed around a bit longer. Again, nobody's fault Just something we didn't know beforehand. I highly recommend Buffalo River outfitters - we had a blast!

    Fantastic getaway lodging; more rustic & engaging than typical river-area vacation cabins! The…read morestaff are helpful at check-in, then we were happily on our own. We stayed in the Ferguson Homestead; at almost 100 years old - it mentally swelt us away to archaic family times. Even campfires (in firepit or fireplace) seem historic. It has 6 beds and 3 levels, but only 2 bedrooms afford any level of privacy - if your party is modest, they should be family. The main living area is perfect for games, meals, and lounging - but the wrap around screened-in porch is the highlight of any evening! *Note: possibly to eliminate Covid-19 worries, there are no condiments, foil, Saran-wrap, or similar leftovers in the kitchen. There are towels & TP in the bathrooms, but the fridge & larder are empty. Bring everything. Bear Creek offers swimming & limitd fishing on the beautiful property, and the Buffalo River offers more water less than 5 miles away! We loved this place, and hope to return!

    This was a great find for a short little vacation on the lake. From the moment of booking on VRBO,…read morethe owners were in contact with all the details needed for check in and a great stay. The resort is remote about 18 miles out of Mountain Home, but that is a charm as there is very little light or noise pollution in the area. There are 6 cottages of varying sizes to accommodate your needs. I stayed in Cottage #2 which has a spectacular view of Bull Shoals Lake from the porch as seen in the pictures. The cottage is one bedroom and very cozy. A fully funding functioning kitchen is useful for a long stay if you don't want to go beck into town for meals. The sitting area is in front of a large picture window with the same great view. A small dining table with chairs sits in one corner and the queen size bed in another. The bathroom is quite small with a color scheme from the 70s, but that is not an issue since you won't (hopefully) be spending a lot of time in there. The ceiling fan is extremely noisy, but that was turned off with the click of a switch. The owners are extremely outgoing and friendly! I was met at the car when I arrived and given a quick rundown of the place before settling in. Even though it rained for a lot of my trip, I thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet and beauty of the surroundings. I highly recommend the resort for even a day or two of relaxation, but it is also a good place for an extended stay for some quiet rest!

The first thing we noticed upon our arrival was the change in cleanliness at the resort.... keep in mind it was never bad, it just keeps getting better! Patty and Charlie are the nicest people you'll meet and willing to lend a helping hand to get you settled in. They are very welcoming and you can tell they are putting their heart and soul into the resort! We always come because the lake is clear, the water is clean, and it's a great area for fishing and wake boarding. In the mornings the water is super calm and it never gets overly crowded. The resort has a pool and great views if you are looking for a relaxing vacation, and I know you can rent boats around at some of the docks. There are brand new grills, nice decks, and the beds are comfortable with new linens. We always visit this resort and are very excited to see it in such great hands!!
