Great place to stay!

Great place to stay. Property was in a very convenient location to town and is kept well. Didn't know what we were suppose to do at checkout, as there is not a list of what to do and we were not messaged by the host. (ex. take off sheets, load dishwasher, take out trash, etc.. We did these things, but usually a message is received by the host or there is a list on the property.

Great house/great area!

We came for a motorcycle trip. The house is well kept, on a quiet street, and is just great. The only negative was there are no instructions like I’ve seen at all VRBO’s. We had no idea how they wanted the property left on check out, such as towels or bedding, and I had to ask for the key code. However, if that is my only complaint then I would say it’s a great trip. The house is wonderful and the town of Mena is right in the middle of some great riding.

Nice, Well-Decorated House on Quiet Street

This pretty, two-bedroom home is very comfortable and fully furnished. It is very clean with nice trees and no one behind it. We would highly recommend! FYI: Internet is spotty so if you need to Zoom, you may need to find another location for that.

Very nice

The home is in a nice, quiet neighborhood with easy access to town. The kitchen is a great size which helped cooking the turkey for Thanksgiving easier. It looks like there have been some recent updates to the house and everything was clean and nice. The host was very responsive. We left an important item behind and they let a family member who lived nearby pick it up the next day. Much appreciated!

Comfy and cozy

We have rented this home several times before because it’s a beautiful home with an awesome host! This trip we were coming to see my Mother before she passed away! We arrived around 5pm and my Mom had passed away at noon! We had reserved the house for Tuesday to Friday but we needed to stay another day and Mr. Craig was so kind to take care of it for us! It’s in a beautiful quiet neighborhood! The house is beautiful and always clean with everything we need when we stay there! Will stay there every time we go to Mena if it’s available!

Delightful home!

This is a delightful little house in the most beautiful and quiet neighborhood. The photos really don’t do this house justice- it’s so clean and cute. The neighborhood is gorgeous and secluded, but very close to everything. We watched big fat bunnies play in the backyard both mornings. Check in was a breeze- if ever we find ourselves in Mena again we will definitely stay here.

Wonderful Experience at The Sherwood Forest Home!

Our two family group of 4 people thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Sherwood Forest Home during our UTV trip to the Mena area. It is a good location, quiet neighborhood with lots of beauty. We had plenty of room for dining (well stocked kitchen equipment), lounging watching the tv, and planning our next day's ride. The backyard parking area was quite muddy so we were allowed to park our trailer on the street in front of the house. Turning around was a little tricky but we were able to wiggle around to park the trailer in front. Owner was very responsive to our needs. Washer and dryer worked well, and the bed was very comfy. Bathrooms were well-stocked and shower worked great. The various birds in the backyard sang us a greeting in the morning while we drank our coffee and visited. We would highly recommend this home and look forward to returning.

The home surpassed all expectations. It had every amenity needed and extras like the screen porch and fireplace. The 5 star rating does not reflect the 100 star review I would love to give to this hideaway and treasure. Dan Schaefer

Quiet, Close to City Center of Mena, AR. Very nice location. Excellent Owners very accommodating.

Your place was very warm and inviting. The decor was very nice but not overdone. We had everything we needed to cook in which was nice since it was cold and raining our first night there. The place is on a beautiful setting, very quiet cup-de-sac. We would like to stay again. I would definitely recommend this place.
