I totally enjoyed everything there. The only problem is it lists five bedrooms and there was only 3. It made it a little difficult with my group... But everything else was pleasant and so was the host

Good location to Harrison and Jasper

Place is right in middle of Jasper and Harrison opening up lots of food options. Some of the decks need some washing as they are pretty slick. Good size and close to other units if you have a group that wants to stay in same area.

Nice place

Overall nice VRBO. We were surprised when arrived at the location that there were so many houses so close together. The pictures that I seen online made seem to have more privacy. House was very well stocked with all the comforts of home. I had trouble getting up all the steep stairs inside and outside of the house, people booking in future need to be aware of difficult stairs if they are older or have disabilities. Not recommended for people with small children.

Beautiful Setting

We loved being in the heart of the Ozarks- trees and mountains as far as you could see! Close to Buffalo river- couldnt float but had an awesome swim! Went to Eureka Springs, CosmicCaverns, explored our area, and hung out in this comfortable chalet, grilling, cooking food and playing games- Very relaxing!!

Fabulous!!!

Everything I needed was at my fingertips!!! I appreciate Kathy’s organization and keen eye to detail. The chalet was so cozy and comfortable. Very clean and I just loved how the chalet was decorated!!! GREAT VIEW and beautifully decorated planters with flowers. I definetly want to use Kathy’s idea of repurposing old furniture. I left the chalet with plenty of ideas. Thanks again for EVERYTHING!!! Also the brownies were delicious!!!

Great Retreat in the Hills of Arkansas

The chalet is a fantastic place in the hills of Arkansas. It has all your necessities and is a cozy place to stay. Katherine was a great host. The breakfast platter in the fridge was such a nice surprise. We were there for a family function in the area, and we will definitely recommend staying there again if we are in area.

Everything we needed was provided.

This home was perfect for the five adults in our group. The owner met us at the house, and had provided everything we could possibly want during our visit, including plenty of towels, brochures for local sights, and even food for breakfast! We had a very enjoyable time at our Marble Mountain Chalet!

Truly a home away from home!

My family spent 3 nights at the Chalet and couldn't have been more surprised or pleased at how well Katherine has thought out taking care of her visitors! The place is roomy, clean and and full of everything one could need during the stay. She lives close by and makes her number available in case you need her. Wager/dryer/detergent/toiletries were all there! We were amazed at the hospitality we were shown. She even brought us the most delicious pan of brownies!! For things to do you can take a quick 10 minute drive to a swimming hole, 5 minute drive to the beautiful caverns, 15 minute drive to Harrison where you can shop all day at the stores. Be sure to check out the Bent and Dent store ran by local Menonites! I would highly recommend staying here to anyone. And I hope we're able to come back!
