Awesome place to stay

We stayed at this property when we came for graduation, but our family lives on the mountain so we wanted to be closer to them. The property is great! The views are great, the host has everything set up perfectly! We really enjoyed our stay

Beautiful home and breathtaking views!

I took my granddaughter (age 7) for a quick trip to the mountains. We easily found the house down an unpaved road right off the main road. The home was beautifully equipped with much more than we could possibly need. We ate our breakfast on the huge deck on the back of the house that looks over the valley where the views are magnificent! The owner was great and communicated with us quickly with any questions that I had. I hope that this home is available for our next trip to Arkansas when we include many more family members.

Beautiful home, beautiful location, beautiful everything

The check-in/check out instructions were very simple and clear. I messaged the host for the instructions before we started that way and she got back to me immediately. Okay, now the property… it was so beautiful! The view was stunning! Gorgeous mountain scenery, wide open spaces to where you can see for miles, and the sunset was just lovely. We even saw a coyote go by while we were standing out on the porch, so that was neat. There is a short rock trail that leads to some benches a little closer to the edge of the property where you can get a better view, but the view from the porch is beautiful as well. One of our friends spent hours just sitting outside at the edge of the property just soaking it all in. There is a fireplace inside and a fire pit outside, and there’s plenty of wood and fire starters and kindling, so don’t worry about any of that. The master bed was very comfortable, which isn’t something I can say about a lot of places I’ve stayed, so it was nice to be able to get some rest in a comfortable bed. Even my dad with back and neck problems slept comfortably in his room. There were plenty of towels and rags as well as stuff to cook with, but you’re about ten minutes away from Mather’s Lodge Restaurant (also has a beautiful view), and about thirty minutes away from a really good/chill pizza place called Point Remove Brewing Company if you’re looking for restaurant ideas nearby. I highly recommend this home and will definitely go back one day!

About the host

Hosted by Eleanor Stanley

I grew up visiting and loving Petit Jean Mountain and in 2008 my husband (a retired electrical engineer) and I decided to build our own getaway on 10 acres of land that my mother purchased many years ago. It was one of the best decisions we have ever made!

Why they chose this property

One story I love to tell about Petit Jean Mountain is when former Texas A&M football coach, Elmer Smith, said, "God created Earth and then Petit Jean Mountain." We hope you decide to stay in our home and enjoy all the things we love about the mountain such as the hiking and bike trails and all the beauty Mother Nature has to offer.
