"Very peaceful"

"Beautiful property and the bungalow was very spacious for the two of us. The hosts were very accommodating and their dog was precious. I loved the stained glass windows and the view was gorgeous. The hosts were very informative about the area."

"We immediately fell in love with this cabin. It was the perfect size for 2 and had everything that we needed. After a long day out it was so nice to come back and recharge. The surrounding property was amazing as well and gave the well needed encapsulated nature vibe with the comfort of knowing there was a gate to enter and exit the property. The ac/ heating unit was a little tricky in the bedroom. Often when on Auto during the night the heat did not kick on and woke up a couple nights to it being 64 degrees. Extra blankets were lovely to have but some thicker blankets would have topped it off! The shower curtain did not fit properly and it cause water to splash out on the floor....I was more so concerned the floor would get damaged and not the extra time it took to wipe up the floor. My only recommendation is that would have been nice to have new bug traps in the cabin. The ones in there when we got there were pretty covered. None of what I mentioned is nothing compared to the overall experience. We can't wait to come back!!! "

"Great place to relax. Host was very nice and communication was great. Great location if you want to hike the Ouachita Forest, visit the Wegner Crystal Mine or just get away from the cities. You’re also only about 1 hour away from Hot Springs where there is the Garvan Woodland Gardens, mini golf/family activities and the Coleman Crystal Mine."

"We stayed here over Easter with two families and couldn't have been more pleased.Come light — the kitchen is exceptionally well-stocked with appliances, cookware, and seasonings. We overpacked as usual and barely needed any of it. A Dollar General just 3 minutes away covers anything you might still be missing.The bedrooms are comfortable and spacious, and there is genuinely room for a crowd. The beds earned high marks from my wife.Amenities are a real highlight: a well-maintained swimming pool, a hot tub, a beautiful pond stocked for fishing, and a stream running alongside the property that's perfect for a family hike (watch for snakes in warmer months). Inside, you'll find board games, Roku TV, and solid Wi-Fi if you need to sneak in some remote work.The setting itself is the star. We spent our mornings on the front porch with coffee, watching cattle graze across open fields. The night sky is stunning — big and bright, even for us Texans.The home is close to Mt. Ida and makes for an easy day trip to Hot Springs or Mena. It is well-maintained, loaded with amenities, and a genuinely relaxing retreat for families.Highly recommended — we would absolutely stay again."

"The stay was great. Very nice condo. The pictures don't do it justice. Very well stocked for basic needs. Quiet location with a nice patio to overlook nature. Had a great experience and stay at this condo and highly recommend it to anyone. Very comfortable place. "

"Very clean. Had everything we needed. Central to activities that we wanted to do in the area. Had a great time. Would come back again."

"Such a great spot nestled in the woods, we loved our stay! "
