The Cabin at buffalo mountain retreat

The Experience

Staying at Buffalo Mountain Retreat feels like stepping into your own private piece of the Ouachitas. Whether you choose the spacious 4,000 sq. ft. lodge at the base of the mountain or the secluded off-grid cabin perched high above the ridgelines, every space is designed to blend comfort with the natural beauty around you.

Wake up to quiet mountain mornings, panoramic views, and the kind of stillness you don’t find anywhere else. Spend your days exploring wooded trails, relaxing by the heated pool, or watching wildlife pass through the valley. Evenings are best spent on the deck as the sky turns over in a wash of reds and golds, followed by star-filled nights that stretch endlessly over the property.

Inside, each stay offers modern comforts without losing the rustic warmth that makes the retreat feel authentic. Roomy gathering areas, thoughtful touches, and plenty of space to unplug create an atmosphere that welcomes families, couples, and groups alike. Whether you’re here to unwind, explore, or simply reset, Buffalo Mountain Retreat gives you a place to slow down, breathe deep, and enjoy the mountain life at your own pace.

This is more than a place to sleep—it's a place to reconnect with the outdoors, with each other, and with a sense of calm you’ll want to return to every season.

Buffalo Mountain Retreat was a blast. The trail riding alone made the trip worth it. Miles of rugged terrain, amazing views, and plenty of spots to explore. After long rides, coming back to the lodge to relax was perfect. We’ll definitely be making this a yearly trip.

White Tail Deer hunt

Buffalo Mountain Retreat delivered one of the best deer hunts I’ve experienced in years. The stands were well placed, the property was managed incredibly well, and the amount of deer activity was unreal. The lodge made the whole trip even better. Already planning my next hunt.
