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 only five years old and sparkling clean! Farmhouse Style on the outside, bright and open inside. The cabin is nestled in the forest and affords a lovely view of a wooded hollow and distant mountain peaks beyond. The expansive, private-park setting at Sky Hawk 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 golden 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. Two-tenths mile from the entry, across from an open meadow, a driveway leads down through the woods to a metal-roofed cabin with cedar siding, naturally weathered to blend with the surrounding landscape.
Sky Hawk Ridge 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.)
