Great property

We rented this house for a lake vacation with our kids. It was very clean and well maintained. We had everything we needed in the kitchen. It is in a quiet road that made for great evening walks with our kids. The home owner made us feel very welcome and we would definitely rent there again.

Excellent place to stay

The house was very clean n stocked. Has a back porch to sit on if it rains with table and chairs. There is also a fire pit area with plenty of wood to use. The carport was nice to pull our truck in after a long day at the crystal mines.

Great stay in Mt. Ida

We had a great stay at Ella's House in Mt. Ida. The house is super clean! The host even worked with us to allow a late check out due to a change in our travel plans. This will definitely be our go to place from now on when visiting Mt. Ida every summer!

Perfect

This place was the perfect little updated spot to stay while we visited family. The beds, pillows, and linens were comfortable. It had all the basic appliances and cookware. There was a huge fenced in yard, a charcoal bbq grill, and hammocks. We were able to plug in our hybrid in the covered parking area. There is plenty of room in the kitchen and a table that seats 6- great for family dinners. The master bedroom had its own bathroom. Most importantly, at least for me, is that everything was so clean. I’m a person that needs a clean space. The owner was so nice. She came over to deliver a box fan for the porch when I asked if there was one hidden somewhere. She was over in less than 10 minutes. She even brought us tomatoes from her garden and left fresh flowers in the kitchen. Really, I can’t think of anything that was missing.

This was a wonderful place to stay. The owner had a sweet handwritten card for us with snacks waiting the on the table when we walked in the door. There was a travel guide book with info on various places around the area. It’s peaceful and quiet.

A ray of sunshine in a stormy week

The house was perfect for our family of three! It was the cleanest and most well equipped VRBO property I have ever stayed in. The owner’s good taste in decor and necessities shined thru! Even though it rained —a lot every day —we were still able to hike the upper legs of the trails near the house. It was only a 10 minute drive to some great trail heads on the Oachita National Trail. When the area was threatened with severe storms and tornadoes the owner relayed where we could find shelter. She truly cared about us and wanted us to be safe. I would definitely recommend this property!!!!!

Perfect spot

Lots of space, clean, well presented, easy communication - we had a lovely stay. I made a mistake on booking, but D, the property manager, was understanding and accomodating. Perfect location, over the road from one of the larger crystal mines, 5 mins or so from town. Would definitely stay here again.

Loved this house

This was such a perfect house for us! I loved that it had everything you needed to cook and that it had a designated rock cleaning area. It was quiet and even though it was next to a main road, you would have no idea. Felt very private. Would definitely stay here again.
