Great Stay, gorgeous view!

We used it for our annual kick off meeting for work and it was perfect! Lots of rooms, beds, and enough privacy for everyone to have their own space. The view can't be beat! We will definitely be back!

Our family had the best time here! The first night we got a Walmart grocery order delivered and it was extremely convenient. Each day some of the family would leave to go hike and enjoy nature and some would stay and hang out on the patio and enjoy the view. We went to the petit Jean overlooks but felt like we didn’t need an overlook because we had the same view from the house. Lol. There was plenty of room for everyone and plenty of bathrooms. This house is perfect for large groups.

Big, beautiful house

The house was so spacious! We are a family of 10 and and we never felt crowded. The kids liked the den with the TV, while the adults gathered in the living room or the huge deck with an amazing view. The house was spotless and the host was very responsive. We loved the privacy of the location while still being so close to Petit Jean State Park. Perfect!

We had a wonderful stay on the mountain at this home! The rooms were clean, spacious, with plenty of room for all guests. The outdoor balconies offered beautiful views of the valley below, and was a much needed reprieve from day to day life. We were in town for a funeral & Celebration of life- and had a wonderful time at this property catching up with family. Grateful for the extras with laundry appliances available, and nearly as many bathrooms as bedrooms. All the guests complimented me on finding this property, as it was comfortable for all. The last night we stayed, there was a storm; and subsequent power outage. The owner showed up with lanterns, and flashlights to aid in our ability to get packed. There was a fireplace to keep us warm as temperatures dipped into the 20s that evening. Thank you Sarah for a wonderful place to rest under difficult circumstances for our family. Would love to stay here again!!

Family Reunion 2024

Our family stayed at this property last year. 3 if my siblings, their spouses, myself, my husband and our 97 year old father stayed. We hosted the reunion on Saturday. 3 cousins, spouses, some of our children were there during the day on Friday and Saturday. There were 24 total in the house, plenty of room and the huge kitchen made it easy to take care of meals. Wonderful experience. FYI our cousins came in from Georgia and Conway.

Spectacular View

This property was perfect for our family. We had 10 at any goven time throughout the week with some coming and leaving on different days. There were plenty of bedrooms, beds and bathrooms. There were a couple of sitting areas and two dining room tables, perfect for our evening meals and games! Of all VRBO'S I've stayed in, this one has been the most well stocked, including toiletries and paper goods. This house is located on Petit Jean Mountain with an amazing view that changed daily. We never tired of sitting on the deck and just taking it all in. If you like nature and the outdoors, there is plenty of hiking within 3 minutes, horseback riding across the highway and plenty of scenic overlooks. The Mather Lodge is a must a sunset. The view there is nothing short of majestic. Sarah

Perfect siblings reunion

My husband, his siblings and spouses enjoyed a long weekend here. There were 4 couples so we each had a bedroom with a private bath. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were well stocked. The gorgeous kitchen had every pan, dish, utensil, etc that we needed to prepare 7 meals there during our stay. The view from the deck was spectacular!! We enjoyed several meals out on the deck. The extra touches were so thoughtful — games, throw blankets, hand lotion, etc. The host provided quick responses to any questions I had. It is located close to the state park—which has a wonderful restaurant we enjoyed one evening for dinner. There is absolutely nothing I would change about this stunning home.

All You Could Ask For!

We spent Labor Day week-end at Petit Jean Cliffside Retreat with our immediate family of eleven. The residence is private, well-maintained and absolutely beautiful. The interior was so clean and inviting. It met all of our needs with ages ranging from 8-years-old to 73. The house is well-stocked throughout. There is a large grassy area on which we played badminton, volleyball and our annual kickball tournament. The back deck is magnificent. We could have talked on the deck and enjoyed the unbelievable view for hours on end. Our host Sarah made the check-in and check-out process seamless. We will certainly return.

Perfection

Everything was perfect. Amazing location and the house left plenty of room for our large family. The porches and views are to die for. The pictures do not do any Justice !!!! The kids did complain that there was only one tv but that just gave us more of a reason to get them out of the house and out to some trails !!!! Also, super convenient that there were not one but two pack and plays. We had twins on this trip so it saved some room packing. We will definitely be booking again. The e tote family has decided this is out go to house for our annual trip ! Can’t wait to visit again.

Family reunion

Spacious home with room for everyone! The view from the deck is beautiful. The kitchen is huge and laid out well for multiple cooks. Kids enjoyed playing with the toys and running around. The adults loved the two living rooms and big tables for games. The bedrooms all had direct access to a full sized bathroom and there is a half-bath in the hall.The beds were very nice, no complaints. Petit Jean is a great place to visit, lots of trails, short and long. The overlooks are just stunning. Park ranger talks were fun and very educational. Kayaks, paddle boats, and canoes were available but we just didn’t find time for them.
