About this farm stay rental
Centered between Boxley and Ponca, the Villines Farmhouse is less than a five minute drive from the Lost Valley hiking trail, a very short drive to Ponca where one can rent canoes and float the Buffalo River, view the majestic bluffs of Steel Creek, hike Center Point trail just above Ponca to Hemmed in Hollow and Goats Bluff, or hike the Buffalo River hiking trail. From the front porch during rut season you can view herds of elk in the fields bordering the Buffalo River and watch bull elk spar over the harem. The fields viewed from the front porch are the prime place for the elk to gather during the fall and winter. The Villines farmhouse was remodeled in 2023, It comes with luxury bedding, a full kitchen, three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The Villines farm is also 100% offset with solar energy.

I felt like I was home! The attention to detail provided here was beyond superb. The town was so far away, so the kitchen was well stocked with coffees, teas, and much more. A focal point for our family when traveling is a well-appointed kitchen, and this kitchen definitely checked that box. From high-end appliances all the way down to an air fryer, the numerous pots, pans, and spices made our cooking experience exceptional. The house was so cozy and clean with comfortable spaces that sometimes we just hung out and sat on the front porch watching the elk and turkey graze across the street.The house is centrally located for access to the Buffalo River and hiking trails in the river valley.The host was excellent, and I will definitely stay here again on trips to the Ponca area!!!

This was our second year in this great property. Very clean nice place. The owner left us fresh flowers which was a very nice touch. This home has everything you need for a great stay. We loved sitting on the front porch enjoying watching for Elk and beautiful horses. .

We've stayed at many different places around Ponca - this has been the best. I could live in this home and be happy the rest of my life. Three private bedrooms, two with sitting areas , two lovely, spacious bathrooms. We took a shower with a storm brewing in the skylight above. We had a pastry chef with us and we all like to cook - the kitchen was so well laid out and large, we made some spectacular meals. From the long massive wood dining table we watched the sunrise and the horses wandering across the hill. They came up to the fence where we could stroke their necks and give them a kiss on the forehead. The front porch, well just look at the pictures. We loved being able to go up and down the road, a mile either direction, and find the Elk herd. So many things, all a hop skip and jump away (2 minutes - 15 minutes). Lost Valley Trail (among the many trails), Steel Creek Campground with its' massive cliffs where the creek (spring fed) and the Buffalo River converge (we waded into the water where they converge), Twin Falls (actually three) on the road to Camp Orr (they were all flowing), historical homesites from the 1800's ..... The town of Ponca, a mile or so up the road, has two small stores. We rented canoes and went on a four hour float then came back and got ice cream. Now we are back home. (insert sad emoji here)

We felt right at home, with every little comfort and need thought of and provided for. From the most comfortable blankets to cozy up with, to nice toiletries and coffee provided, our host took great care of us and was quick to respond to messages. The hot tub was so nice to come home to after a day of hiking. The location was perfectly situated between all of the must-see Ozark & Buffalo River areas. The beds were very comfortable and the whole house was very clean, tidy, and beautiful. We hope to stay here again during the summer and fall seasons.

This house is beautiful inside and out and perfect location for easy viewing of elk. We had everything we needed. We didn't get to enjoy the hot tub as we weren't aware there was one but next time we certainly will. We enjoyed a nice fire on the patio both nights and made s'mores. We look forward to staying again!!!

We loved our time at the farmhouse! It was very clean, had a well stocked kitchen and the owner literally thought of everything! Location could not have been better! The Boxley elk were in the field, across the road almost the whole weekend. We took photographs from the front porch! The owner went above and beyond! We plan on staying there again!

This property is in the exact location one needs to be for elk watching. I cannot express enough, the cleanliness of the home. We loved the quaintness yet very luxurious feeling of the home. The kitchen is fully stocked with absolutely anything you need to prepare a meal. Fresh flowers greeted us upstairs & downstairs an extra special touch. Even though it was just my husband and myself due to a change of plans, we only went upstairs one time. I would return and stay there for the cleanliness and location. We love the fact that we were able to bring our little dog also.

This VRBO was absolutely perfect for our weekend getaway. The fenced in backyard was a great touch for our dog to get out and run around, and we loved the rocking chairs on the front porch. The house was a 4 minute drive to the Buffalo River, so you know we went swimming every day of our trip

This property has been immaculately renovated and maintained. It’s beautifully decorated and the owner has thought of every detail. They even left fresh flowers on the table for us.
We messaged the owner with a couple of questions and she responded almost immediately.
The back patio is wonderful for a group. Every morning and evening we had a view of the elk in Boxley Valley right from the rocking chairs on our front porch.
We will definitely book again.

The couple that own this beautiful home care about customer service. Very clean, quiet, and comfortable home at the bottom of this historic valley. Everything works, and they pay attention to details. The two friendly horses and the dog from next door made our group feel welcomed.

We loved our stay at this home. We have made this trip 4 years in a row, but it’s our first time staying at Mattie’s home. It was absolutely perfect. Well stocked with anything you could need for cooking. Clean and beautiful. Also, The horses next door were so fun for the kids to walk with along the fence line❤️

The house was situated in a perfect location for hiking, biking and rock climbing in the Ozarks. We spent the weekend with family visiting from NY. The house was in great condition and had many amenities including the best kitchen setup I've ever seen in a rental house. I highly recommend staying here if you are looking for an Ozark getaway.
