Cabin holiday rentals in Ponca

Overall, it was a great stay! The location was perfect and close to town. The cabin itself was exactly as described and clean. However, I will note that it was right on the road which was slightly noisy, but not too disrupting for sleeping purposes. Location on the road made it easy to bring in luggage and get in/out when going to different activities.

We enjoyed staying here so much that we can’t wait to go back. The cabin was unique and cozy. We had everything we needed and more. Loved every minute.

This location was the perfect spot for our girls getaway. Between the privacy, fire pit, and hot tub we had our own piece of heaven. The views in this area are breathtaking. Plenty of room and amenities!

The sunrise is supreme. The cabin details were well thought out and they had almost anything you could want. The kitchen is well stocked with extras like oil, coffee, filters, sandwich bags, and plastic cutlery. Sharp knives, Ninja coffee maker, laundry supplies, a lighter for the stove/grill/fire pit, and more. The AC worked well. The storms caused a tree to fall over the driveway and flooded out the hot tub. They were quick to answer and address the issues we had related to the storm. The turn-off is a bit unexpected, so read the access instructions carefully before you get there. It was easy to find with the instructions provided. The location was perfectly central to everything we wanted to do: Buffalo River, MTB at Ponca/Upper Buffalo, waterfalls south of Jasper, hiking and fishing, and Horseshoe Canyon Ranch (definitely look into the Via Ferrata!!!) We will absolutely stay here again.

We loved it. We came to the area for hiking and canoeing, and while we didn't get to do a LOT of that because of the weather and rain, we still had a fantastic time because we were able to get away, play games, and just relax. We were really impressed with the cabin. The big front porch was great for watching the rain and drinking coffee. The hot tub was great for relaxation. He had everything we needed, and was super friendly and helpful - thank you Davis! The driveway to get to the house may not be for every person or vehicle, but we did not mind. It was totally doable with 4x4, and Davis has spent a lot of time, money, and effort improving it (and is still working on it even over the weekend we were there) - raging flood waters don't take it easy on anyone. Thanks again Davis, for a fantastic place to get away from everything!

Wonderful place that exceeded our expectations!

Would definitely book again! If you are looking for a getaway from everything I highly recommend. It’s secluded and quiet and equipped with everything you would need, exactly what our group of women were looking for. The host was very responsive and polite, we very much enjoyed it!

The cabin was perfect for our family getaway! Beautiful and very private. We thoroughly enjoyed relaxing by the pool during the day and soaking in the hot tub at night. Thank you for the wonderful stay!!!

Great place to stay, close access to riding trials. Definitely would stay here again.

If you are wanting a cabin on the creek surrounded by beautiful nature this is it! Our stay and experience was simply beautiful.

We had a wonderful stay over night as we was headed to Branson. We also got to meet and talk with Mr. Kenny he told us all about things to do near there and point us to places good to eat.

It was an amazing cabin with everything you would need and it was very cozy and close to the river and other amenities that you would need! Just the right perfect place to stay for the buffalo!

We planned this as a 4-day waterfall chasing adventure and Dennis and Naomi were incredibly helpful in accommodating our needs, providing us with a list of the 5 best waterfalls to see and providing us with several interactive maps that were developed by a notable "waterfall chaser". As our rental period approached, the weather forecast showed cold and rainy for our entire 4-day stay. We decided to follow through with the rental and Dennis provided additional tips on hiking in the rain. Then, I threw out my back the day before our trip was to start, but once again we decided to follow through. We arrived late at night but with Dennis' guidance were able to find Big Oak Cabin with no trouble at all. Dennis further assisted by providing a list of the 5 best short and easy waterfall trails. Dennis was extremely responsive to other requests for assistance. The vacation turned out to be one of the most memorable we've had. thank you Dennis and Naomi!!

The owner was very communicative and helpful. He was responsive to our questions about the area and gave us great advice. Our stay, which included two families (total of 10 individuals) stayed very comfortably in this space. We enjoyed being able to cook out and do a campfire/smores with the kids. Firewood was available with a fire pit, which was convenient. The kids loved playing games in the game room when they needed something to do. The porch had a picture perfect view of the mountains, and we loved being able to lounge, have coffee, and chat. Our trip to Falling Water Falls was a huge hit with everyone. We swam there most of the day and explored the area. Anyone traveling in this area should be aware of ticks and how to prepare/manage while exploring the area. Overall, we would love to return.

Terry is an exceptional host with immaculate cabins! Will be back again.

The cabin was exactly as expected. We loved the volleyball net, the grill, and the fire pit. The views were STUNNING! Ponca low water bridge is a 30-32 minute drive for anyone considering kayaking. Kyle’s Landing is about 48 minutes out. The livestock were very friendly! All in all we had a great time.

My family enjoyed our stay at Cabin On The Creek! The place is decorated very nicely and has a very cozy feel. The fire pit was much enjoyed along with exploring the creek and all the great views nearby. Thank you for sharing your little piece of paradise with us!

Just a quick weekend trip for some stargazing and quiet, this little cabin fit the bill for both!

We enjoyed staying in this wonderful, cozy, beautiful cabin. The views from the cabin are amazing. The cabin itself was very comfortable and equipped with everything we needed. The bathtub and shower (especially the waterfall feature) were a luxurious experience. The area is very peaceful and quiet. The hosts are excellent, and supplied extra amenities like dishwasher and laundry detergent, paper towels and sweet treats of brownies, chocolate, coffee and special mountain spring water; just to name a few. We definitely felt a warm welcome. The host also provided information on things to do in the area, which was helpful since we were not familiar with the area. The town of Jasper is very close and has a nice grocery store and cute, fun shops, cafes and people selling homemade goods. Can't say enough good things about this place. We would highly recommend this rental. We were grateful for the opportunity to stay there.

By far the most well appointed Airbnb we’ve every stayed in anywhere in the world. Whitney & Tom truly thought of everything! From Dyson blow dryers to the Nespresso maker to every kitchen utensil, spice, glassware, serving dishes, and multiple large cutting boards. Truly just show up and begin your vacation. Everything including the hot tub were impeccably clean. Will look forward to staying here again!

The cabin was cozy and perfect for two. It had a comfy bed and a well-stocked kitchen. The porch and fire pit were perfectly situated to grill out and enjoy the incredible view as well. I highly recommend this cabin and would book again.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this stunning home that exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the sweeping views of the mountains—a breathtaking backdrop that made every morning feel like a scene from a movie. This place offered the perfect combination of luxury, comfort, and stunning natural beauty. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone.

My hubby and I stayed at Anita’s “Cedar Shadows” from June 6 - 9, 2025 to celebrate his birthday. We were so happy to find this beautiful and very private cabin nestled along the bank of Sweden Creek. It was exactly as pictured and Anita was a very welcoming host. She had a great snack basket, bottled water, and even a welcome Mike’s lemonade waiting for our arrival. Everything was so well maintained - inside and out! My favorite area was the HUGE wrap around porch. I would absolutely recommend a stay at this lovely cabin, and I’m hoping we can go back soon!

It is rare to find a place that so elegantly combines the sense of nature with cozy comfort and stunning views, but this place does it. The long list of amenities and description of the property is accurate, and the host was readily available when we had a question. We did not want to leave and can't wait to go back.
