The Roost-Close to Buffalo River & Wilderness Rider

Keep it simple at this peaceful and centrally-located cabin! The Roost is the perfect getaway in the Upper Buffalo River area! Located along highway 21 between Kingston and Boxley, you will be right in the middle of it all!

The location is perfect for almost any and all activities that the area has to offer. All of the most popular hiking trails and floating on the Buffalo or Kings River are only a few minutes away!

Wilderness rider is only a short distance and you can ride directly from the cabin to the entrance on your OHV!

Endless views to the East and West make for some of the most amazing sunsets and sunrises you could ever ask for!!!

There is a fire pit and we provide a moderate amount of wood for your stay. There is a grill that is both gas and charcoal, and the kitchen is stocked with most of the cooking utensils you will need. We provide a gas bottle but if you prefer charcoal, you will need to bring that. We keep a few spices along with coffee for the drip style coffee pot.

Other things to note

Fall Getaway
The area was quiet and restful! Such a bucolic setting and surrounded with nature. The fall colors were beautiful and we enjoyed our time sitting on the porches with a cup of coffee.

Incredible Vacation Spot
The cabin was gorgeous! The scenery was absolutely beautiful. We were close to all of the activities that we were interested in, such as, hiking and seeing the elk. We went as a birthday trip for myself and I could not have chosen a better place to stay or a better time of the year to go and stay!

Float trip weekend
We had a great weekend at The Roost! The property was very clean. There was plenty of firewood provided. The beds are were comfortable. You are very close to 2 outfitters if you plan to float. I will definitely book again.

This cabin is so serene. Perfect spot to get away from it all, yet just 15-20 minutes to Ponca and all the outdoor activities. Nice fire pit with wood provided. Enclosed game room with darts and kids games. We will be back

Absolutely perfect!
I think this is our favorite place we have ever stayed! Everything was absolutely perfect. My husband and I said we could live here. Perfect amount of room. Anything we could need was provided. We loved roasting marshmallows at the fire pit and not having to go find firewood to buy first. We don’t build tons of fires, so just a little was enough. I brought my own coffee, but it was nice of the owner to have some there in case I had forgot. Having wifi was a blessing with three kids. Waking up to the view from the back bedroom window in the morning was wonderful. My daughter was delighted by the cows nearby. Everything was great. The owners were so friendly when we had to message them. Check in was a breeze. We definitely hope to stay again when we come for our fall trip. Definitely worth it.
