Great house and host!

A great place to stay. The house is three levels with bathrooms on each floor and plenty of parking. Also close to the wolf pen trailheads which you can ride to from the house.

New Years

Outstanding place with many amenities, comfort and cleanliness. A great stocked kitchen downstairs, made it great for the adults to prepare meals while the kids played in the game room and hot tub. The quick access to the trails and large parking lot made this the ultimate place to stay.

CMA Rally

Great place to stay with separate bedrooms and bathrooms; much better than just staying in a hotel room. Great kitchen, good for cooking a meal or two so you don't have to eat out all the time. Plenty of parking for vehicles, trailers, and motorcycles. Close proximity to Iron Mountain. Excellent communication with hosts.

A Great Weekend Getaway in Mena

We had a great stay at the Back Roads Barn. From the game room Foosball Tournament to the hot tub and the fire pit, this place had exactly what we needed. And Mark and Alicia qualify as true Super Hosts - maybe the best VRBO hosts we've ever had!

Great location

We enjoyed our stay. The home was big and clean. The three levels threw us off a bit but it was fine! Our littles loved having the top room to themselves.. like a little hideout. The home was close to town and close to trails. We were able to drive SxS everywhere. Loved the lightning bug shows at night. We will be back!

Hostess with the Mostest

The entire cabin is well thought out. Super clean. It's so well shaded with lovely trees outside and this makes for really nice outdoor time. I was able to reach the host at any time and she was as kind as they come. Even checking in with me before the stay to ask if we were excited for our upcoming trip. The beds were very very comfy. Thank you for that!

Amazing place and amazing host!

We wanted a change of scenery and decided to do some ATV riding in the mountains. Backroads Barn was the PERFECT place for our large group. The inside is beautiful and the outside is too. Alicia was so nice and accommodating! She answered all of our crazy questions. We will for sure stay here again or in another property that Alicia and Mark own.

Beautiful, peaceful, and spacious

Property was exactly how it was described, but add some special touches. The host was very attentive, our family waited to get there to go grocery shopping, good thing!!! The host had so many extras there, every spice you can think of, popcorn, coffee, creamer, flour, even vanilla, and oils. We were amazed. The kitchen had labels and was orginized perfectly with plenty of seating for the entire family. The beds were comfortable, air hockey table was fun, and the hot tub was perfect after riding trails allday. Last but not least, the welcome committee, the sweet neighbor dogs, we are animal lovers and these well behaved sweeties, happily visited everyday. We can't wait to stay here again or maybe even at your property down the road. If I could grade this place and host.... hands down, A+++++

Separate but together

We have been going on family trips once a year or more for several years now. This one is on the top of our list. The hosts have an absolutely beautiful perfect set up. Plenty of beds on each level with a bathroom. Tables, chairs, casual seating, and games for everyone. The outside was just as inviting with a walk around porch, lots of tables and chairs, grills, and fire pit. We even had the opportunity to pick up walnuts and acorns. The house made you feel like you were away from the hustle and bustle of the world. Easy access to the Ouachita Mountain trails and beautiful forest. We rode every day even in the rain. Great recommendations from the host for food. They were the absolute best hosts that I've dealt with. They gave you updates on menus, area activities, and some cost suggestions. I would highly without reservation recommend one of their home rentals to everyone. I believe we stayed in their largest. We had 10 total individuals with plenty of room to spare. We would suggest calling them and booking your next trip. We will return one day. Thanks again for such a wonderful time.
