HEART PINE
Welcome to The Ridge at Buffalo Point. We offer 6 cabins on our nearly 5 acre property, and we can work with you to find the best accommodation to fit your needs. Each cabin is different, and we can accommodate solo travelers, couples, families and large gatherings like family reunions or church groups. 
Step back in time and enjoy this handcrafted pioneer cabin – with more rustic charm than any one cabin should have coupled with modern amenities to keep you comfortable. Heart Pine cabin is constructed of reclaimed Heart Pine lumber – for logs, beams and large planks for the floor.
The cabin is perfect for couples, featuring an open vaulted ceiling in the living room with large stone hearth. The covered front porch welcomes you and the screened back porch invites you to relax in a rocker or cook on the propane grill. The fenced in backyard with firepit is perfect for you and your dog. The open concept kitchen has the feel of going back in time but offers all the comforts of home. The living room centers around the stone fireplace, large rustic log futon sofa, and 55” TV. A leather recliner and rocker accommodates seating for five.
Upstairs, the loft bedroom boasts a queen size bed, RokuTV, and dresser. It overlooks the living room and fireplace.

ABOUT US:
We are Don, Ally, Lucas and Logan. Don’s the builder and designer – with the vision and skills to create inviting and relaxing spaces. Ally is right by his side to help make those dreams a reality … including reservations, finding the perfect cabin for guests and the administrative work. Lucas and Logan (“the boys”) spent many years climbing trees, hopping boulders and just being boys. Those adventures have probably inspired some of the outdoor fun here at The Ridge. Now that they’re men, they help with improvements to the property. It’s a family affair.
Our goal when we opened The Ridge was to help people disconnect from their regular routine and reconnect to the outdoors and to each other – family and friends. We continue to focus on ways to help people break away, get in touch with nature and even relive a little childhood. We look forward to welcoming you!
