Our 3 bedroom, 2 bath  2,000 sq.ft log cabin is situated on a 125 acre
private wildlife refuge with almost a mile of frontage on the Little
Buffalo River, the largest tributary of the nearby Buffalo National
River. Located only 3 miles from Parthenon in beautiful Newton County,
Arkansas, our cabin is secluded and private yet easily accessible and
within easy driving distance of Jasper, Ponca, Harrison, Branson and
Eureka Springs. Spectacular 180 degree views of virtually uninhabited
Reynolds Mountain combine with the quiet solitude of the river to
create a special place for that romantic getaway or family reunion.

This unique home can accommodate up to 11 guests yet is cozy enough
for a couple. Our adjacent guest house with full kitchen and bath
comfortably sleeps 4.My Blue Heaven is full of rustic charm but never
at the
expense of creature comforts including central heat and air
conditioning, wood stove with viewing window, fully appointed modern
kitchen, telephone, high sepped wireless internet, satellite TV, DVD,
and CD players, hot tub, and
deck with gas grill and even a play house for the kids, hidden among
the trees.

For over 30 years, this land and that of several adjoining neighbors
has been maintained as a wildlife sanctuary. White-tailed deer are
abundant and can be observed daily in the 15 acre deer meadow just
outside the great room windows or from the deck or hot tub. A short
walk to the river will reveal herons, kingfishers, beaver and more,
and, because this section of the river has year-round flow, the
beautiful swimming hole is full of smallmouth bass, rock bass and
sunfish. See our website for much more.

 If just kicking back in the hot tub or watching the deer with your
morning coffee, or taking a dip in the swimming hole isn’t enough to
get your blood pumping, we can suggest some more strenuous activities
without having to get in the car:

	During warm weather, grab your water shoes, mask and snorkel or
spinning rod	and explore the river.Each hole of water has its own
character and inhabitants.

	During cooler weather, explore Reynolds Mountain. We can provide a
topo map, compass and tips on where to hike.

	During high water, experienced canoeists find paddling the Little
Buffalo a challenging and exhilarating experience without the crowds
that are often present on the Buffalo National River. Put in at our
ford, paddle to Jasper and arrange for a shuttle back. 

	Mountain biking into the headwaters of the Little Buffalo.
Roads,trails and some 	single-track paths are available and we can
point you in the right direction.

My Blue Heaven is located near the center of Newton County,the Elk
Capital of Arkansas, which encompasses some of the most ruggedly
beautiful terrain in the Ozark Mountains, with 6 of the 10 highest
peaks in the bioregion. Over half of the county is public land,
managed by either the National Park Service (Buffalo National River),
the USDA Forest Service (Ozark National Forest) or Arkansas Game and
Fish Commission (various Wildlife Management Areas). Opportunities
abound for the outdoor enthusiast including:  

Canoeing
A short drive will put you at Ponca and some of the best whitewater
floating on the Buffalo. If water levels are lower, put-in points from
Pruitt to Tyler Bend are within easy reach. Numerous concessionaires
can provide reasonable canoe rental and/or shuttle service.

Alum Cove, just a 15 minute drive from My Blue Heaven,the Buffalo
