Wake up to sweeping Ozark Mountain views from your private 2 bedroom/2 bath home on a 4-acre hilltop. After hiking the area's famous trails (Big Bluff just 13 miles away), or enjoying activities on the Buffalo River, return to soak in your hot tub under a canopy of stars. This is where nature lovers, hikers, and stargazers find their perfect escape. *Hot tub...sky views *Basketball, tetherball (seasonal) *Stargazing in designated dark-sky area *Pet-friendly (dogs welcome) The space End your day on your own private 4-acre hilltop, soaking in the hot tub under incredible dark skies as the stars come out. Hilltop Haven is a comfortable, well-stocked country home in a designated Dark-Sky Area, designed for rest, privacy, and time outdoors together. The home has a split layout with two bedrooms and two baths, plus plenty of space to relax inside and out. Enjoy outdoor fun with a small basketball court, tetherball (spring–fall), cornhole, and peaceful porches for sunsets and stargazing. After hosting hundreds of guests during our years as missionaries in Ecuador, we built Hilltop Haven with hospitality in mind.

If you’re looking for a **quiet, private retreat with dark skies, outdoor adventure nearby, and a home that’s truly stocked for real living—not just sleeping—**we think you’ll feel right at home at Hilltop Haven. Guest access You have access to the entire house except for the garage and the owner's closet (the second closet in the King bedroom) . No one else stays on the property. Other things to note *Our home is located 2.5 miles from Highway 43 on a dirt road. It can be slippery after a lot of rain but dries up quickly. It is a well-graded road and maintained well. *There are insects in the country—we use a non-toxic pest service which is helpful at keeping the population down! Just know that you might find a dead bug or two during your stay. * We are on city water. We also offer a Berkey water filter (we even use one at our home in Colorado for health reasons) and five bottles of water in the fridge will be waiting for you when you arrive. *You are in full control of your heat and cooling while staying at our home. *Pretty obvious, but don't bathe your dogs in either tub or let them go into the hot tub. Thanks!
