Map & Directions


Azalea Falls Lodge



Nestled in a secluded glen a couple of miles north of Boxley Valley and the Buffalo National River, Azalea Falls sits on 136-acres of woodland paths and canyon trails that reveal an enchanting slice of the legendary Ozarks.

We offer three lodging choices, a lodge, cabin, and bed & breakfast, each offering guests luxury accommodations at affordable prices while being close to the activities that make the Arkansas Ozarks famous.

Azalea Falls Lodge


The lodge at Azalea Falls is a 3000 square foot home in the style of Frank Lloyd Wright, built entirely of rock, glass and redwood. It is surrounded by 3000 square feet of decks and patios. It overlooks a waterfall and offers 136 acres of woodland trails, creeks and surprise patios. Details about Azalea Falls Lodge

Beauty Lodge Bed & Breakfast


Our latest addition is a large log home called Beauty Lodge. Perched on top of the hill, overlooking Azalea Falls hollow, it offers three luxurious bed and breakfast styled rooms. For this reason, the B&B is for adults only. Each room is equipped with a 32 inch flat screen TV, satellite service, DVD player, small refrigerator, microwave, coffee pot with coffee or tea selection, and whirlpool tub. Check our website for details.

Azalea Falls Cabin


Azalea Falls Cabin, a 1700 square foot, chalet style log home. Like the lodge, the cabin is filled with artwork and antiques and also offers all the modern conveniences, including satellite TV, VCR, DVD player, stereo, central heat and air and telephone/computer hook-up. There are 3 large bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, a living room with a fireplace and a separate dining room. Visit our website for more information.

"Spacious elegance isn't what most folks expect to find in the Ozarks. Most visitors anticipate dense forests, winding country roads, and simple cabins. But at Azalea Falls Lodge, guests get the best in both rusticity and refinement."

Southern Living Magazine


"Midwinter is one of my favorite times of the year and I always enjoy being able to spend some time hiking with my friend Alf Carter and so I was tickled when he called and invited me to stay at Azalea Falls Lodge for a few days. Staying at the lodge is always a treat for me. The Frank Lloyd Wright-ish style and the wonderful blend of natural rock, redwood and glass makes for sheer beauty and luxury."
