We had a lovely fall break stay here! The house had more than enough space for our family of four. The views were wonderful! The host was very communicative and answered questions quickly and effectively. We got some good exercise going up and down the stairs to the river, they are not easy to navigate but we were aware after asking that question prior to booking. We enjoyed Wegner crystal mine, a quick trip to Hot Springs, and all the great outdoor time! Would book again if we came back to the area!

Property was delightful. Beautiful views from deck. Would have been nice to get to water, but not necessary. Rooms were far enough apart that you had peace. Many games to play as well as a pool table. Bring your hair dryer. Enjoyed stay.

Great house for the whole family!

The house is in a beautiful secluded location, but conveniently located just a couple of minutes off the highway. The house is updated and looks even better and larger in person than in the pictures online. The owner was very responsive with questions regarding local recommendations. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

Beautiful Home and Property

Four seniors enjoyed this lovely, comfortable home in the woods. The deck is a wonder in itself, overlooking the river and woods. We were there in early November and enjoyed the State Parks and gorgeous fall colors. We even saw a bald eagle on the last morning! We would love to return again to this wooded paradise!

We hope you do return! And I am so glad you saw a bald eagle. They have a nest near our house, and it’s become a family joke that everyone but I have seen them. Take care and please do come again!

After a year of losses, we just needed a quiet place to celebrate Christmas with what is left of our family and Lori made that happen for us. We had 10 people from 18 mo to 88 and it was an amazing visit. Everything was perfect. The towels were so luxurious and the kitchen so well stocked! The view is spectacular and this vacation home was everything we hoped for. 10 out of 10!

I went up for the weekend with 4 friends to do the Ouachita Challenge mtb race. The house was well equipped to cook out, the beds were comfortable. The owner made everything as easy as possible so we did not have to worry about a thing. I will definitely be back next year!

Incredibly beautiful

It was fantastic. We planned a long weekend getaway to catch up with family in Hot Springs and ended up spending most of our time at the house. It was convenient for those staying in other places and large enough that when they were able to drop by we could all enjoy each others company. We will go back sooner than later.

Would recommend!!!

We were in Arkansas for our daughter's wedding at A View to Remember. This house was very clean and comfortable. The location was great for the venue. We ate at the Mexican restaurant in Mt Ida and ordered pizza from the place next door and the food was excellent. If I were ever in the area I would definitely look into staying here again. The only disappointment was the lack of access to the water on property but several maps and access points nearby were in the house.
