The Buffalo River, the falls and the trails
A Still Point Cabin sits above the valley near Compton in Newton County, Arkansas — close enough to the Buffalo National River for a morning float, far enough that you hear nothing but birds at night.
Welcome to the Ozarks
Welcome to the Ozarks. This is a peaceful getaway near the Buffalo National River, with easy drives to several trailheads, waterfalls and canoe launch sites. Spend your days hiking and paddling, then come back and soak in the hot tub under a brilliant dark sky.
Fall foliage here is spectacular, the bird watching is fantastic, and the sunsets from the back deck are unforgettable. The exact address is shared once you book — until then, picture a ridge above the valley, a mile off the pavement, outside Compton in Newton County.
Trailheads, overlooks and canoe launches are all within an easy drive. Plan a big grocery run before you turn off the highway — a few local general stores cover anything you forget, but the nearest full supermarket is a fair way out.
Nearby highlights

Local general stores
A few nearby stores cover the essentials, but plan the big grocery run before you turn off the highway.
Dark-sky stargazing
Almost no light pollution. On a clear night the Milky Way is visible from the hot tub.
Bird watching
The screened porch is the best seat in the house. Guests keep telling us the birding here is fantastic.
What each season is like
Spring
The waterfalls run hardest and the river is at its best for paddling. Dogwood and redbud light up the hollows, and the trails are green before the heat arrives.
Summer
Long float days on the Buffalo, swimming holes below the bluffs, and evenings that cool off fast up on the ridge. The hot tub still earns its keep after dark.
Autumn
The reason many guests book a year ahead. Vibrant colour across the whole valley, crisp mornings on the screened porch, and fire-pit weather every night.
Winter
Bare trees open the view even wider, the sky is at its clearest for stargazing, and snow on the cabin is genuinely lovely. The gas fireplace does the rest.
Where the cabin sits
The map shows the general area. The exact address, gate code and driving notes arrive as soon as you book.
The drive in
The last mile is gravel and dirt. It is a little bumpy, but any vehicle makes it easily at slow speed — guests have driven low-clearance sedans straight up. Multiple cars fit in the driveway; long trailers do not.
