2 Bedroom Cabin in Saint Joe

Blue Canoe Cabin is located in north central Arkansas in the heart of the Middle Buffalo River area, just steps away from Buffalo National River, near Gilbert, Arkansas, and includes over 20 acres of forest and fields with mountain views, unobstructed night time sky viewing, abundant wildlife, and privacy. This property is close to hiking, floating, swimming, fishing and nature watching activities. The cabin is ideal for a smaller family, two couples or a guys or girls weekend as it can sleep up to six people comfortably with one queen bed, one full bed, one sleeper loveseat full bed and one full bathroom. The cabin is pet friendly.
Blue Canoe Cabin was completely remodeled in 2021 and boasts modern amenities, comfort and thoughtful upgrades throughout. High speed WiFi internet is available throughout the cabin. There are large windows everywhere, providing views in all directions to the hills and woods just outside. The downstairs was reconstructed with accessibility in mind. The lower level is wheelchair accessible with wide doorways and ADA features in the bathroom, including a low profile shower basin. There is a wheelchair accessible ramp to access the front deck and cabin entry. The cabin itself contains approximately 1000 sf on two levels. Additionally, there is generous outdoor living space which includes a 150 sf screened in porch facing southeast with sunrise views, a huge 375 sf covered front porch with seating and dining table which faces northwest for spectacular sunset views and a detached 320 sf covered pavilion with outstanding views of Pilot Mountain. The cabin floor plan includes:
- One private bedroom downstairs (full sized bed)
- Open concept full kitchen and living room downstairs
- One private bathroom with shower and laundry facilities downstairs
- A semi-private sleeping loft upstairs (queen bed) with a large sitting area and sleeper loveseat (full bed)
This is the ideal location to serve as your home base to explore the middle Buffalo River, especially if your plans include a float trip through the family friendly stretch of river between Tyler Bend and Gilbert. The Buffalo River is less than 1/2 mile as the crow flies from the cabin back door. The river is so close you will feel it here in the weather, the foggy mornings, the dew on the ground, seeing the herons and kingfishers passing overhead to and from the river. The Buffalo National River park boundary borders the property for 1/4 mile, providing direct foot access to the park. In fact, it's possible to hike to Shine Eye in 45 minutes or to Gilbert in about 1 hour directly from the cabin, enjoying river bluff views and historic sites in the forest as you hike along the old Buffalo River Trail. If you choose to go by car, Gilbert is less than 5 minutes away while you can be at Shine Eye in less than 10 minutes by car. Other locations easily accessible nearby include:

Summary: Our hosts thought of everything! The kitchen was well set up, and we really appreciated the smoker. The family had plenty of spaces to socialize and plenty of space to stretch out. There were lots of activities to enjoy inside and out. If you're going to the Buffalo National River area, this is a must stay!
