First of all, if you are high maintenance and looking for the finest 5-Star accomodations, I don't think you need to stay anywhere in this town. However, if you are looking for a clean, comfortable place to rent that is safe and has everything that you need to enjoy yourself and spend time with your family, then I highly recommend this cabin! We were very excited to get to our cabin and see that there were many different size screens for us to use at the Diamond Mine. There were also tools and buckets and gloves. That saved us a lot of money each day!!! We did choose to rent a wagon and a small screen, but we really did not need the smaller screen. There were even two small coolers under the sink for us to use.
There were fluffy towels, a comfy couch, coffee, and cleaning supplies.
The cabin is a lot bigger than what the pictures look like. There is a lot more there than a hotel would offer, and I felt like it was cleaner and more cozy than a standard hotel. The hot shower water does only last for one shower, so you need to wait in between showers. We have a lot of allergies, and we had no issues in this cabin at all!
The owner is very kind and personable, and he was very easy to work with regarding my request ro stay an extra night. We are excited about booking our next adventure here! As some of the other reviews say, there is a house in the front on the main road. It is the main house that is also rented out as a short-term rental. There are two tiny houses in the large back yard property that are spaced quite a good distance apart. There were very nice families staying in both of the other houses while we were there, and it was very quiet and peaceful. We highly recommend the Mexican restaurant and the Hawkins store downtown for ice cream and malts! They close at 6, so don't be late! If you run out of anything, there is a Dollar General and a basic grocery store.
My only complaint would be that my personal cell phone company doesn't have great service in Arkansas. The Wi-fi in the cabin only had 2 bars, so it made it difficult to access my phone when I needed it to call home or call the owner or order food. A stronger signal would be great! Other than that, we didn't use our devices anyway, so it was nice to relax!!!! We stayed at the Diamond Mine all day for 3 days in a row, and our dog stayed at the cabin in his kennel for 2 of those days. He came to the mine with us on the 3rd day! I hope you enjoy your vacation as much as we did
