Enjoy a laid back vacation on the Buffalo National River. The Gilbert House has been recently renovated and tastefully decorated for you and your guests. Perfect get away for families with children, on the quiet street in Gilbert (there are only two streets) 😀for riding bikes etc. The house sleeps 6 to 7 comfortably. Enjoy a large outdoor deck for grilling when you get off the river. Large double lot affords plenty of room for fun in the sun!
Gabe and I live in Eureka Springs AR, we grew up on the river and after college both decided to become whitewater rafting guides up in Maine. We spent our early twenties running rivers in Maine, Vermont and Connecticut. When we married and started having children we knew we wanted to raise our kids near the water. In 2007 Gabe had just finished a float trip on the lower Buffalo and drove the loop around Gilbert, 53 Church street was for sale and the owner of the property which live next door was outside, they started talking and Gabe made an offer on the house that day. All the homes in Gilbert are at least a hundred years old so we knew we were in for a project, but since Gabe is a contractor and quite a handyman himself he knew he was up for the challenge. We made a few necessary updates to the old yellow house and have been enjoying it on weekends and in summers since. In 2011 or so the house across the street came up for sale and since we just love the town so much we decided to buy it and fix it up for friends, family and out of town guests. We hope you find the tranquility we do when we come down here to visit.
Ashley Leahy purchased this house in 2012
Like I mentioned above we have been bringing our boys here since 2007. We love that we can let them ride there bikes and play outside without having to worry too much about traffic etc. WE love our leisurely walks down to the general store or the rv park. And of course the beautiful National River right down the road . It is the simple life in Gilbert that keeps us coming back. WE hope you enjoy and find the beauty in the simplicity of this historic town.
Quiet road for children at play, large double lot for all kinds of activities for you and your family. Walking distance to outfitters who can take you on the petfect canoeing adventure for your family.
This is a great place to stay. Close to the river and quiet location. Will definitely be back.
We loved having this house as our temporary home. We love the town of Gilbert, and having the ability to stay so near the Buffalo National River was fantastic. The house had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay.
Huge beautiful yard for lots of outside play, cozy and relaxing atmosphere. Loved the front and rear decks. Well taken care of.
Enjoyed our stay. Great, private back deck. Main bedroom not private as stairs to upper floor are in main bedroom but great living space.
Beautiful place, great location, Ashley is super accommodating.
I wouldn't ever book a stay here again. The pictures are deceiving, there is poison ivy growing all around the deck, the mattress was bad, and no TV. The river is a fifteen minute walk--not five. Lastly, there were not even chairs at the kitchen table along with no sugar for coffee. There just wasn't attention to detail and we didn't feel welcome. The outdoor cushions on the front porch were dirty and mildewed. She offered to give us a free day but then backtracked and only gave half while still charging for the day we weren't even there. Dishonest and deceptive. I also own rental property and would never do business like that. I'd bend over backwards and would never hang up on a customer.
Branson MO. Is an hour north if you and your family want to visit the many attractions there for the day!
