Everything was great! The host Sami was amazing. Location was really nice for Crystal Mines and visiting Hot Springs. Grandkids had a blast. The deck was perfect for grilling and entertaining.

Julie, thanks for the review. You stayed in one of my favorite condos....no stairs. And, the deck is huge. Close to the pool and tennis courts and it's shady in the afternoon. Thank you again and we hope you all can return soon. Sami
This rental had everything my family needed. Property manager, Sami, was fantastic!!! I sincerely appreciate the direct phone communication. Thank you for the wonderful set-up and the kids loved the snacks.

Heather, we loved hosting you and your loved ones and hope you will return and allow us the privilege of hosting you again. You came during our Off Season which is my favorite. For two reasons, the rates are better and you have the resort to yourselves. We love the Off Season. Call anytime to return. We are always here for you. Sami
The condo was clean, comfortable, well-appointed, with a very well equipped kitchen, which made it easy for us to prepare all of the food we brought (this is rare!). Access to our activities was easy, and Sami was a great hostess.

Paul, I'm so grateful you were able to prepare your groceries. I'm sure your son was glad after running the LOViT100. If you ever stay in any of my properties and we don't have something you need you just call me and i'll run the item over. My home has lots of extra everything. Thank you again for the sweet review. We really try hard and the reviews really do help out. Come back for the race next year. I'm always here.
Loved our stay with family. The cabin was clean and comfortable. Sami is an exceptional host. Our only difficulty was none of us had cell phone service. We had to drive to the top of the hill to get service.

I hate to hear that about your cell phone. Verizon has the best service. I believe AT&T is the worst. It's all about the towers. But, i hope you enjoyed our 50,000 acre lake with zero houses or private boat docks on the 1000 miles of shoreline. With 200 islands to pull up on. And, i hope your time with family was memory building and you will return. Holler at me anytime and we will get you in one of our many different condos. THanks again for the review. Sami
We loved the condo, it was very clean and spacious! Would definitely recommend this property!

Thank you so much for your review, Kayla. What i love about this unit is the huge, shaded deck, comfy furniture inside and out, close to the pool and tennis courts and no stairs. Score. Oh, and the big, gas grill. These owners have thought of everything. We hope you will come back and allow us to host you again. And, possibly be able to bring some ATV's for riding in the National Forest legally. Thank you again for choosing us for your Lake Ouachita Vacation. We are always here for you.
Sami
The property was well equipped. Very spacious condo and nicely decorated. My family of 5 (3 children under 12) all enjoyed our time at the lake! The kids especially enjoyed the welcome basket and snacks!
Sami provided us a wonderful experience. Our stay was better than we could have asked for. Spacious, clean and personalized. She was overly accommodating. Will definitely stay again!

Keely, BTW, great name....we are so glad you enjoyed your stay in our Enchanted Forest condo. We have 2 others just like it next door if you ever have a crowd that needs accommodations. We would love to host you and your extended family any time. Oct is our favorite month on the mountain. If you have an ATV come riding in the national forest on our legal trails. It is a fall extravaganza. Thank you again for this nice review. They really help.

Chad and his loved ones were perfect guests. I know they enjoyed our Enchanted Forest condo. We offer great specials in our Off Season and the weather is perfect. The OS starts after Labor Day and goes thru Memorial Day, sans holidays. We hope you will come back and check out our gorgeous Fall Colours.
Stay was awesome . I wish I would have more time to spend there, Its a beautiful place
Property location was great. I did not get why there was price difference in actual payment and receipt I got

I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. The invoice that is in your condo upon arrival is what VRBO pays us. The other monies you pay go to taxes and to the company. They went from charging the owners a flat rate annually. They when to receiving booking fees which messed everything up. But, they went from $0 annually to billions....so i guess i get it. I just hate it. I wish they would charge me annually then let us share contact info from the beginning but they don't.

We would love to stay here again!
This is the best condo that we have stayed at in Mountain Harbor. It was super clean and so very comfortable! Everything that we needed was included and it has a full size washer and dryer. I would happily recommend this condo to anyone! We especially enjoyed having our coffee on the porch while watching the all of the little deer just steps away from us. This place is a gem!

Jennifer, thank you so much for this great review. Your happiness is our goal. If you have never been here in fall please try our area in the Off Season. It is gorgeous, the water is swimmable til late Oct, the national forest fall colors, cool weather and most importantly.....Low, Low Rates. It is all fabulous. Bring your ATV's and ride in the forest with us just 1/4 mile from your condo. Please come back soon....we are always here.
Thanks,
Sami
Sami is always great to deal with. The condo was well appointed. Had everything we needed. WE enjoyed the deck with comfortable seating and ceiling fans.

Julie, we enjoyed hosting y'all. Please come back. Our Fall colors especially when reflecting off the calm water is picturesque. The weather is perfect, the water is comfortable long into Oct and our rates drop dramatically after Labor Day. If you have any ATV's we have legal trails right outside your backdoor. It's a great place to be when the seasons change. Thank you again,
Sami G
Great location, beautiful area, spacious and comfortable. This condo was a perfect choice for our family of 4. It was very well stocked with everything you could need though we couldn't find the blender, not a big deal. Loved the deck and listening to the sounds of the little creek down below. It was an easy drive to the Crater of Diamonds State Park, Wegman Crystal Mine and Hot Springs. Everything was very clean. The beds were very comfortable as was all the living room furniture. Really appreciated the refrigerator with ice and water through the door, really good pots and pans and knives as well as all the little touches like boxes of tissues and hand soap at all the sinks, plenty of towels and the convenience of a keyless lock. We've stayed at a lot of VRBO homes and this one is at the top of the list. Would highly recommend! Oh and we saw lots of deer and enjoyed fishing at the lake.

OMG, Connie, thank you so much. This means even more with you being a seasoned VRBO guest. We really try and since i live here we will always be able to accommodate your every needs...legal, of course. The deer are plentiful. We have to honk to make them move. Our Fall season is our favorite. The eagles start showing up, the weather is crisp, cool and the water is still warm enough to swim. Oh, and our rates drop dramatically. Try us out after Labor Day sometime. We promise to make your stay memorable. Thank you again for the great review.

Let me start by saying my family and I are avid condo renters, we travel to the lake often. We have a lot of experience with different types of rentals and this condo takes the cake! If I could rate this 100 stars I would. The owner Sami, is the true definition of “going the extra mile” for her renters. Before we arrived she noticed I had booked with two small children (3 year old & 9 month old) she reached out and offered to help us save packing space by providing several things for the kids. Anyone who travels with kids knows how easily stuff piles up and how you almost have to pack your whole house with you 😂 Well Sami really went above and beyond for us. When we arrived, there was a pack n play, toy walker, toys for our bigger kid and toys for the baby, a boppy pillow, kids books, extra crib mattress, bottle rack, and bibs! Wow! We were blown away from her kindness! My kids had a BLAST with all the cool new toys! Aside from that, the attention detail was amazing. There was a welcome sign and gift basket customized with our family name. It was so thoughtful and we really appreciated that. Also the condo is more updated from the photos in this listing. Beautiful floors, new living room furniture, etc. The whole condo was well stocked. In our experience with renting this part can vary, some are stocked thin and some are stocked with more. This condo has every little thing you could possibly need. Even a kitchen “junk drawer” is what I call it. I found a chip bag clip in there. Lol. But there are seasonings, any kind of pot/pan/utensil possible. Two coffee makers: Keriug and regular. Britta water filter in the fridge, zip locks, basically almost everything in your kitchen at home. Which for us was extremely helpful. This condo is a HOME AWAY FROM HOME. We were comfortable in every aspect of our stay and honestly did not want to leave. We will 100% book with Sami again. She is cares about her renters and provides top notch customer service that is so hard to come by. We have no complaints what so ever, only great things to say. Lake Ouachita and the Moutain Harbor community are hands down the best place to stay if you are coming to the lake. It is quiet and peaceful. The perfect place for a get away! Thank you Sami for everything! We hope to book with you again.

OMG, Amanda...Thank you so very much for this review. As a local that lives less than a mile from the condos I can bring anything to the condo that would make your stay more comfortable. My daughter had twins in 2020. I get all her baby items. So, if you need it for your kids, as hers grow, I will be able to provide it....At No Extra Charge To You, The Guests.
We love what we do and expect a Management Company to be just that, Manage the Guests needs, wants and desires if we can. I know you not only own a boat but an ATV. We adore riding in the National Forest in the Off Season, when the rates are super low.
You and your husband are making lasting memories your children with have for the rest of their lives. I was raised on Lake Ouachita and can vouch for this first hand.
We hope you will book with us again and become one of our regulars. We view you guys like family and live for reviews like yours. Thank you so very much. My heart is swollen with gratitude. We hope to see you and your loved ones again in the future. And, thank you for choosing our Enchanted Forest Condo for your vacation.

This is a newly updated and very comfortable condo. The kitchen can accommodate several cooks at once. It was beautifully organized and stocked with all the basics you could ever need. We prepared a Thanksgiving meal easily. Sami, our host, provided us with all sorts of snacks including homemade cookies and parfaits. She also was helpful in sharing information about the area. All of her suggestions were hits with us. We were doubtful about eating at the Lodge but our lunch there was really good.
The basic layout of the place provides privacy as well as a comfortable communal space. Despite the cold we couldn’t resist the enormous back porch with its great seating areas and views. The leaves still had a lot of color but the were falling. There were a lot of deer and they were totally unafraid of us. I recommend bringing deer corn!
We couldn’t have asked for more…great space, comfy beds, nature at our back door and a very helpful host. Thank you,Sami. We shall return!

Dear Pat...i can't wait til you return. We love helping visitors have the maximum enjoyment when they share our area. We locals boat in the summer and buggy in the winter. We can legally ride our ATVs in the national forest and the access road is less than a mile from the condo which is legal to get to on your buggy. I collect pumpkins put on the curbs for trash pickup for our deer. They love them. I bet i brought home 15 from my trip to Little Rock yesterday. Please come back to see us. We would love to host you all again.
Sami G
I was so impressed with our experience during our stay. The owner was wonderful and exceeded all expectations . She allowed us to come earlier than the typical check in time and also gave extra time for our checkout process. This helped us to enjoy extra time at the lake that we wouldn’t have had otherwise. The owner was so helpful giving us info for trail rides. When we arrived their was a sign welcoming us with our name on it and handmade desserts and a goody basket all thoughtful touches. The condo itself was beautiful and so comfortable with plenty of great places to lounge and the back is great. Overall, this has been our favorite condo and experience with the owner of all of the places that we’ve stayed. We are already planning our next stay here.

Amy, thank you so much. Our little resort is a gem in the state of Arkansas. Our favorite time of year is fall and winter to ride our 'buggies' in the national forest. I will show you how to get to the top next visit. We ride from Oct-April. Then we put street tires on the buggies to get around the mountain in and switch to boats in April. I hope i can ride with you next time. If not, i'll take one of you down and show you how to get to Hickory Nut Mountain Vista. The view is amazing...especially with fall colors.
Thank you again for allowing us to host you and your loved ones,
Sami G
I can’t say enough how our experience at the enchanted forest was a great one. Tami, the host, was very helpful, friendly and overall amazing as well. I have to admit that I am a little picky when it comes to staying places away from home. This rental met every expectation. It was clean, well-stocked, and felt like home. I will definitely rent again when we come back to the area.

Thank you again,

This property was so perfect for our family. We definitely plan to stay at Enchanted Forest again!! Sami was such a gracious hostess and a great communicator. We had no issues whatsoever. The balcony was our favorite spot to sit for coffee in the mornings and cocktails in the evenings. Everything was just perfect!!
It was a beautiful space! Seems even larger in person. Back porch is peaceful. Lake is close by and gorgeous! Excellent customer service! Sami is awesome!
We had a great experience renting Sami’s condo! Easy to communicate with leading up to our stay and we were able to check in early. The condo was pristine upon arrival with great personal touches as well. Comfortably slept 3 couples and loved sitting on the back deck watching the deer. Would highly recommend!

Brad, we are so happy you were able to stay in our Enchanted Forest condo for Spring Break. I hope you were able to enjoy our Lake Ouachita Vista Trails that stretch for miles. As one of the countries cleanest lakes I hope you will come back in the summer to enjoy our 1000 miles of shoreline, not one single house on the lake and over 200 islands. It is beautiful. Thank you again and i am so grateful you allowed us to host you and your loved ones.

About the host
Hosted by Sami Grace
We purchased this property for some family rest and relaxation. Being from Louisiana we loved the water without gators. We just had our lake place remodeled and we hope you will love it as much as we do. The handicapped entrance makes our condo desirable for folks with limited mobility. I like it coz i can park by the front door and unload the car quickly. Our favorite time of year is the Off Season. The air is crisp, the bugs are gone, the temperature is perfect and if you come during the high color weeks in mid Fall it is breathtaking. Especially if you can get on the water and capture the trees reflecting off the calm, serene water. It really is magical. If you bring a boat you can park in the cove and walk to the condo with ease from the lake without having to go to the dock and get your car. It really makes it convenient when you have the family on an island and just need to run back for a second. We also have folding chairs and water toys for more lake fun.
Why they chose this property
There are 3 phases in the complex. Our condo is in Phase III, my favorite. Everything is just nicer in Phase III. Parking, deck size, number of buildings is less than Phase I or II. If your kids can swim alone you can sit on your deck and holler at them when lunch is ready. If they are tennis players you can watch the match from the comfort of your porch. The entrance, location relative to the pool and tennis court and lake make this our favorite spot. Come share our little piece of paradise.
What makes this property unique
Lake Ouachita National Forest has one of the cleanest lakes in the country. Out of the 1000 miles of shoreline there are no single family dwellings. These condos are it for private development on the waters front. Any trailer near the water is on Corp property and you can't own the dirt under the trailer. Come experience our pristine water with over 200 islands.
