We're located 20 Minutes from Fort Smith and Old Town Van Buren. These cities have historic landmarks and places of interest, including Judge Parker's courthouse and gallows, Miss Laura's former bordello, lots of shopping and restaurants. We're also about 45 Minutes from Fayetteville and the Springdale/Rogers areas; we have easy access about 2 miles off Interstate 40. Our pricing is based on 4 adults, with kids staying free. For more than 4 adults, there will be a $25 per person per night charge, and this will be paid on arrival for the entire stay. We also have a $25 per pet fee, with one being allowed to pay on the website through the booking fee. Additional pet fees will be paid on arrival, and this is a one-time charge for the stay. We do not allow CATS unless declawed - we've had damage from scratches to bedding and furniture. Maximum stay is two weeks. This is a nice established home w/newer furnishings and comfortable bedding and seating. TV's are provided w/internet stations and access to Netflix, Disney+, Hulu and Peacock. We have a fully fenced yard w/a small patio and grilling area, with both charcoal and gas grills provided. Our kitchen includes a coffee maker with coffee (ground and pods), cream and sugar, microwave oven, full stove and full-size refrigerator. We provide basic pots and pans, dishes, flatware and drinkware for eight, along with paper/plastic options if you prefer. There is a covered carport and a gravel drive inside the gates, along with a space in front of the house as well as being located on a cul-de-sac, so there is extra parking available. We have locks for the gates if needed. Beds consist a of king and 2 twins, along with two couches and two recliners which could be used for sleeping. We have no minimum night stay, so if you're coming for a Hog Game or just passing through the area, we'll be glad to have you for just one night. Come and stay with us!
