Overview
National Forest 2br/2ba With Abundant Wildlife and Huge Deck Overlooking River
Rural private pet friendly setting in the picturesque Ouachita National Forest. Large picture windows covering two sides of this six sided house overlooking the Irons Fork River. This completely remodeled beautiful home has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, plus a brand new queen sleeper sofa, washer/dryer, central heat and air, wood burning fireplace along with full kitchen including range, microwave, refrigerator and dishwasher. Fully furnished with all utensils, pots, pans, and coffee pot along with linens and towels. Adding that special touch, including soaps, shampoos, coffee etc. make this a true home away from home. Living room has 50" plasma TV, DVD/VHS player, and several movies to choose from. Relax and de-stress on the extra large deck overlooking the water, or take a stroll among the many flower garden paths, or visit the fruit orchard only yards away. You most likely will see many wild animals including deer, bunnies, squirrels, armadillos and occasionally a bear with her cubs will stroll along the back of the field. This is a dry county, so if you want to indulge, you will need to bring it with you. Closest liquor store is 60 miles. The only internet we receive here is from our phones. Please print directions and map. GPS devices will most likely get you lost out here in the "sticks" lol. Rent for 5 nights (including weekend rates) and get 2 weeknights FREE.

Wonderful!
4.9/5 -

We loved how it was right on the water!
We very much enjoyed our stay here! Roland and Becky were very welcoming and the house was stocked with whatever you need, including chocolate chip cookies waiting for us when we got there! We loved how secluded it was, how the windows really opened up the house to the outside, and how we were right on the water! We enjoyed sitting on the big deck listening to the water from the river and the rest of nature! We grilled out on the BBQ grill almost every night! We caught a 1.5lb bass, 3 bluegills, a baby channel catfish, and a baby bullhead catfish. During our stay we visited Queen Wilhelmina State Park (the view is amazing!), ate at Southern Belle restaurant in Oklahoma, went fishing at Lake Ouachita, dug for diamonds at Crater of Diamonds State Park, enjoyed some snow cones in the town of Mena, and just enjoyed hanging around the property. It was so quite and relaxing! We were sad to leave!
Everything You Could Ask For In A Relaxing Vacation!!
After reading all the reviews, I was hoping this place would live up to what had been said.Well!!! This place and the property owners were so beyond my already heightened expectations!!! The property is so, so beautiful, relaxing and enjoyable. Loved how the big windows brought the outside in. We fished every day, and had plans to go sightseeing, but enjoyed it there so much, we didn't want to go!! Roland and Becky were as nice as the place is beautiful. We felt like we had known them for a long, long time. They are very respectful of your privacy, though, if you prefer alone time. They have taken care of everything you need. Most relaxing vacation ever!!
Excellent property and warm, welcoming hosts
We greatly enjoyed our weekend at The Glass House Retreat. The property is in a private, beautiful setting and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Becky and Roland are gracious hosts and go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The location is ideal for exploring the Ouachita National Forest or spending mornings fishing on Iron Forks Lake. Highly recommended.
We were Blessed during our stay at the Glass House Retreat.
The accommodations were A +. If you are looking for a quiet getaway you can't get any better than this. The owners were very respectful of your privacy, but always there to offer anything you may need or had forgotten during your stay. I loved sitting on the deck and drinking my morning coffee with the sounds of nature.. The perfect place to rest and recharge.
Ideal
Everything was perfect. Better than hoped for. Cabin was beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed. Location was great - secluded, and right on the river. River was great for the kids. Clean water, not too fast, and not too deep - but deep enough to play in. And plenty of fish to keep us busy. Thank you for a great stay.
Beautiful, peaceful spot
What a beautiful place to spend a few quiet and peaceful days. The house was even better than advertised and Becky and Roland are the ultimate in hosts. We left rested and refreshed. There was information at the house about lots of interesting things to do in Mena and we found plenty to occupy our time, then came back to the "Glass House" to rest and relax. We hope to come back again, maybe in the fall when the leaves are changing. I don't want to forget Cooper the friendly dog who greeted me every morning as I was drinking my coffee on the deck, it was a great way to start the day.
