Long Weekend Getaway

The place was clean and perfect for a quick getaway. Plenty of room to park our trailer. Loved that there were extra towels. Came in handy after a long day of riding our UTV. Definitely would come back.

Nice but far from riding trails if that is the reason for your visit.

It was nice and quiet. Much farther from the riding trails, but it worked out nicely. We would have liked to kayaked with the weather so nice on Friday, but they were full of water and leaves.

Two-night stay

Our stay was great! Quick drive to Hot Springs for the day. Would like to return with our ATV next time. Cabin had everything we needed and the bed was nice and comfy. Price was very reasonable. Ate at the Chopping Block in Mena, AR and the food was delicious.

Quiet and Peaceful Place

This was our second time staying at this beautiful (and quiet) property, for motorcycle riding in the Mena area. Tammy provided EXCELLENT communications as usual. Everything we needed was on-site...and Mena is conveniently close for food and groceries, etc. This place is in a very peaceful neighborhood, with zero traffic coming through. The deck is awesome and there's a nice little creek running along the back of the property. Couldn't have found a better jewel in this area. Will stay there many more times in the future hopefully.

I so enjoyed staying in this adorable little cottage. It was perfect for my husband and I, and my pup! The area is so quiet and peaceful too. will be back for sure!! Also, I wish I'd had looked at what kind of mattress was there because that was some of the best sleep I've gotten in a while.

Anniversary getaway

We celebrated our 30th anniversary and loved the stay. This little efficiency cabin was perfect. It is so quiet and cozy. I would love to come back in the fall the property is a large area with two fire pitts. We did not bring our dog, but this place is so pet friendly with a small fence for pets. We rode the trails and it is very close to trail heads. Can't wait to visit again.
