Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2006
Connie moved from Kent, Ohio to Hot Springs, Arkansas in May 2004 to be with her eHarmony "match" and soon to be husband, Marc Rubben. She has 3 children (ages 16, 20,22) who live in Ohio. She purchased her first vacation rental in August 2004, mainly to house the extra furniture from the two households now combined. It would also be a great place for family and friends to stay when visiting. Connie takes care of all aspects of the vacation rental business. She is a perfectionist, "clean freak" and a people pleaser! She takes great pride in providing this beautiful, clean and affordable vacation spot to others. Marc is a professional Comedian/Ventriloquist. You may have seen him over the past 20+ years at various comedy clubs across the country or in exclusive resorts around the globe. More recently he can be found aboard the "Conquest", a Carnival cruise ship. Marc was showcased on "Accidentially Famous" a reality show aired on Comcast OnDemand in May, 2007. If you haven't seen Marc perform "live", be sure to check out his DVD, which is in the video library on-site. You may also see him on national TV in the near future! Marc has 2 kids (ages 16,18) Connie and Marc live in an underground house on the Ouachita River with their 8 dogs and 1 cat. They also foster dogs for the Warm Hearts Humane Society. At one time they may have as many as 17 dogs in their care. (Now you know why they own property that is "Dog Friendly"
Why the Owner Chose Mount Ida
Nestled in the Ouachita National Forest, this beautiful 6 acre wooded property is less than a mile from the 2nd cleanest lake in the country! The air quality out here in the country is pristine! It's just 30 minutes outside of Hot Springs, and 20 minutes from our own home. A PERFECT location in every regard.
The Unique Benefits of this Arkansas Vacation Home & Cabin
With a Main House, Studio, Cabin and A-frame House all in one location we are able to accommodate LARGE family gatherings (up to 28 people). The 6 wooded acres located on a small dead-end street, offer guests privacy and "peace and quiet" from the hussle and bussle of their normally hectic lives. Quartz crystals can be found on the surface all around the property.

Our impromptu vacation turned out to be exactly what we needed. It was so serene and wonderful. A blissful change from the chaos of the city. Marcus loves it too. He wanted to stay, I think! Thank you for your generosity, kindness and hospitality. Cliff can't wait to come back! Thanks a million!

Thanks Connie! We had such a nice time staying here at the A-frame house. You thought of everything when you outfitted the house and we certainly appreciated it. It was also great being able to take our dog with us on vacation and still stay at such a nice place. We hope to be back soon!

Had a wonderful time. If it's extra peaceful here now, that's the amazing presence of God.

The cabin is neat as a pin! THe walk to and from the lake is great. Drivers are kind to walkers. Quiet and relaxing is the theme! Put your dog on a leash when taking them out around the cabin at night, as there are lots of "critters" roaming around that invite chasing. :)

This house is so cute! Every room has a bit of it's own style everywhere. The games made our visit more fun, the moives gave us a chance to wind down and the bath tub was so relaxing. Than you so much for allowing us to stay in the A-frame.
