Experience the Charm of Historic Sky-Vue Lodge
Perched near the summit of Mt. Gayler in the scenic Boston Mountains of the Arkansas Ozarks, Sky-Vue Lodge is a family-friendly Bed and Breakfast offering affordable rates, spectacular 15-mile back porch views, and mouthwatering homemade breakfasts. Stay in comfortable, modernized mountain cabins or beautifully appointed lodge rooms that blend rustic charm with modern convenience.
Sky-Vue is ideal for romantic getaways, family vacations, or a cozy home base for University of Arkansas football weekends. It also serves as an inspiring venue for office day retreats, business seminars, church gatherings, and family reunions.
Conveniently located on Scenic Byway 71, halfway between Fort Smith and Fayetteville, Sky-Vue Lodge offers easy access to a wealth of nearby attractions. Explore the natural beauty of Devil’s Den and Lake Fort Smith State Parks, stroll through historic downtown Van Buren, or enjoy a ride on the Arkansas and Missouri Railroad. Just across the street, discover Ozark Folkways and its locally crafted art. You can also hike down to one of our ponds for a quiet afternoon of fishing—or simply unwind with a good book on our covered porch.
Whether you're seeking the excitement of an activity-filled vacation or the tranquility of a porch-swing escape, Sky-Vue Lodge is your perfect mountain retreat. Come sit, relax, and make yourself at home.

We're looking forward to seeing you soon in the Boston Mountains!
Nestled along the Scenic Byway US 71, the Main Lodge redefines the phrase “Mi casa es su casa.” Here, our home truly becomes yours. Whether you choose a cozy cabin or a comfortable room in the lodge, you'll share in the simple pleasures that make this place special. Sip your morning coffee in our welcoming sitting area, then enjoy a hearty breakfast in our bright, window-filled dining room—so full of light, it feels like you're dining outdoors. As you savor your meal, watch the playful hummingbirds and a variety of native Ozark birds flutter to and from the feeders just outside, adding a touch of nature’s charm to your morning.
The Lodge is the hub of activity around here. Stop by the main office to grab some ice or check out a movie or two. While you're there, explore our charming gift shop—perfect for picking up souvenirs or a thoughtful thank-you gift for someone who looked after your pets or plants during your trip. The shop also features a selection of high-quality kitchen tools and gadgets at prices much lower than those in catalogs or specialty stores. Cyclists will appreciate the availability of essential repair items like tubes, CO₂ cartridges, and cables. And for any forgotten necessities, we’ve got you covered with personal care items such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, powder, and shampoo.
