About this property

Cottage in the Trees - A getaway from everything, close to everything

ELM SPRINGS, AR -
Enjoy a cup of coffee on the large porch and listen to the birds as the sun peeks through or relax at night with a glass of wine by listening to the crickets and frogs. Keep a lookout for neighbors riding horses down the road, cyclists riding along the rural roads, or deer creeping down the street.

Our newer dedicated rental is a fully-renovated cottage in Elm Springs, AR next-door to our home on a 10 acres mini-farm. You will be close to everything NWA has to offer when you stay at this centrally-located place. Almost anything in Northwest Arkansas is within 25 minutes from Crystal Bridges in Bentonville to the north and Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville to the south. 10 min to XNA Airport, I-49 Exit 77, Hwy 112, or Hwy 412. We are about 25-30 minutes to most major employers (Tyson, JB Hunt, Simmons, Walmart, and more than 5 area hospitals). We have a guide book with more exciting things to do! Mountain Biking: 20 minutes to Thunder Chicken and 30 minutes to Slaughter Pen.

Outside, the cottage features a large grassy yard of ¾ an acre ready for pre-tailgate games, a long southern-style front porch with zero gravity chairs, and a smaller private back deck for grilling. Inside, you will find an all new split floor plan with two bedrooms, 1 bathroom, great room, and washer/dryer. Main bedroom features a queen bed with a memory foam mattress. Second bedroom features a twin trundle combo. Bedroom comforters have covers for cleanliness. The great room features a Novogratz Brittany Convertible Sofa that folds to a full-size bed along with two additional chairs. The kitchen features full-size appliances including a dishwasher and refrigerator with ice/water. Island doubles as an eating area with four counter-height stools with access easy enough for our 3 year old. The bathroom is also completely new with a stand-up shower. Note - no tub in the bathroom. All floors are LVP. Safety items provided are fire extinguisher, fire alarm, and carbon monoxide detectors. All towels and linens are provided along with some household items to get started (ex. Toilet paper, dish soap).

Wi-Fi/TV: We now have fiber high-speed wi-fi. TV has a Roku stick with multiple free channels available for kids and adults along with a DVD player and small library of DVDs. There is no paid services with the TV.

Pet Fee: One medium dog under 50lbs/6 months+/housebroken with pet fee. They must be kenneled when not directly in the adult owner’s sight. Pet fee is $100 for up to 2 weeks. Please inquire regarding fees for longer stay.

Cleaning Fee: Cleaning fee is $75 for up to 2 week stay. Please inquire regarding cleaning fee for longer than 2 week stay.

Note *** no tub in the bathroom and counter height stools in the kitchen. Cell phone service can be spotty inside due to mountains, but it is fine on the porch and by windows. Verizon doesn't seem to have issues. Our mailbox is in the driveway, so we will pick up our mail daily.
**** There are no children's toys, garden, or kayak. It is an error on VRBO that can't be removed.

Perfect little getaway in the Ozarks

We were traveling from WI wanting to see the Crystal Bridges Museum and saw this Cabin in the woods. We booked it for 4 nights and it did not disappoint. Very clean and Quiet. We loved our stay and plan to return. We will definitely recommend this to anyone traveling that direction.

Country cottage with with all the extras you didn't know you needed

Very clean & modern place. We loved the large porch where you can sip coffee & count rooster crows. There are great extras like a variety of coffee pods, a few cold drinks, and makeup remover wipes. 10+ minutes to restaurants, but great scenery along the way of goats, cows & horses. We brought our dogs and really enjoyed visiting the nearby Shaw Family Park with a fenced dog area with agility course, pond, playground, courts, walking track & more.

30th anniversary

The property was very nice. Snacks and coffee pods was a nice touch. House was very clean, could have been some more decorations on the walls and such felt kinda plain, but nice. Kitchen drawers and doors could use some knobs, kinda hard to open. It was convient to fayetteville and springdale.

It is a unique, well-kept property, and the owners are very helpful. I have a GPS system on my 2022 Mazda SUV that guided me right to the door. As for being "close to everything", that promise is hard to evaluate because it's so subjective. The owners should consider including a directory of physical addresses and telephone numbers for various places to travel to for gas, meals, etc.

Awesome getaway spot!

My band members and I had a fantastic stay in Elm Springs at this cottage. Check in process was easy, directions were clear, and the location was just enough “in the country” while still being an easy drive into town for coffee, entertainment, etc. Would definitely stay here again!

Cute little getaway spot

It’s a nice little spot that’s close to the airport and close to the towns. Janell was extremely good at communication and was helpful even though I had made some fairly embarrassing mistakes. She gave some very nice recommendations on things to do while we’re in town as well, which was very sweet. Would recommend!

Never made it

We ended up with car trouble and never made it to the rental. My husband decided we should get our car back to Wisconsin. But every communication I had with Jenell was very pleasant, she was understanding and apologetic about the issues we were having and I was disappointed we did not get to meet face to face.

Best location if looking for near to city and quiet place to relax both at a time 🙂

I have stayed here with family and enjoyed our time a lot. One of the best locations near to city but still quiet and feels connected to nature. Host was very quick responsive to any questions during the stay. We liked the porch where we can spend entire day sitting in the nature and listening to birds 🙂 Definitely recommend anyone to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Jenell & Steve Bird

Host profile image
We relocated to Northwest Arkansas in 2015. We love the weather, nature, and people of NWA, and can't wait for you to enjoy it as well. We have a small farm, so don't be surprised to hear a moo or two or see a farm cat passing by.

Why they chose this property

We purchased the cottage next-door to us in 2019 and fully renovated it with our family. Elm Springs is a gem of a rural experience, while being able to easily access everything from Bentonville to Fayetteville in less than a half hour. NWA has too much to offer to be in Bentonville or Fayetteville alone!

What makes this property unique

Enjoy Crystal Bridges in Bentonville, Top Golf in Rogers, or Razorbacks in Fayetteville, then come back home to the peace and quiet of Elm Springs. We have the flexibility to access NWA using I-49 or Hwy 112 (especially important getting to and from Razorback games). We are also 10 minutes to XNA airport.
