NEWS------We’ve sold our Bear Mountain Retreat (BMR) rental effective April 9, 2026. If you have a booking for BMR, not to worry. The new owners are going to continue it as a vacation rental and utilize the same property manager (Buffalo River Cabins Jasper AR). In accordance with Airbnb policy, all bookings after April 9th have to be cancelled and rebooked with the new owners. Someone from the Buffalo River Cabins Jasper AR team will be reaching out to all guests with current bookings to help you through the process of cancelling and rebooking. Thank you for understanding and for your patience.
