About this property

Shabby chic gem with river and mountain views.

Unique home atop Mt. Vista with beautiful mountain and river views. One queen bed; one king. So quiet and relaxing with deer visiting daily. New porch swing and deck furniture and host is a clean freak.

Peaceful Getaway

Beautiful views of the River Valley in a quiet neighborhood. Conveniently located to all area attractions. I recommend driving along the river to downtown Fort Smith for the Saturday morning farmers market when you stay here.

Great cabin!

We enjoyed this property. The location is nice because it’s not too far from everything. Plenty of seating in the living area and around the dining table, which is something we look for.

Another relaxing stay at this peaceful property. The property has amazing views and an awesome host. But one of the best features is the location that is only minutes from downtown Van Buren and the easy access to downtown Fort Smith.

Another great stay!

We always choose to stay here when we come see our children. It's in an older quiet neighborhood with a pretty view. The house has everything we need and since we travel with our dogs, it's the perfect spot for us.

Will stay there again

Not only was everything clean, convenient, but Gina furnished a dog bowl, a ball (which Phoebe unfortunately ro9lled under the furniture in the den and I couldn't reach it) but also dog treats. Coffee and creamer was furnished along with spices. Awesome kitchen and the shower was great. Will stay there again if I have to be in the area.
