This is a premier location for Elk viewing and hiking the upper Buffalo River.

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.
