Thank you so much for this amazing review! We appreciate y’all! We hope you get to come back!
Our stay was brief but we were all equally impressed by the cleanliness and well kept cottage. It took us a minute to figure out our cottage cause it didn’t have a name but once we did ,it was all smiles.it’s close to town but in a quiet area.We enjoyed staying and hope to visit again soon.highly recommend,
The cabin was well kept and clean. Had everything necessary in the kitchen to cook whatever you want. The private lake is beautiful. We didn’t get to stay long enough I know that .. we will be back!
My family (including an active kiddo and two teenagers) had a great time on this trip! The Storybrook Cottage was clean, comfy and cozy. We weren't able to stay for long, but we found a lot to do. We enjoyed s'mores by the fire pit, the hot tub and had a blast paddle boarding and kayaking on the lake. We'll definitely be back. We'd highly recommend the Bethesda Lake Cabins for sure!
This has been a favorite cottage and area of Arkansas we have enjoyed staying at for many years. We come back every year for ATV riding and enjoying the beautiful countryside. This area is truly a gem any time of year. The cottage is always clean and feels like our home away from home whenever we return. It is truly hard to leave it behind!

Most wonderful stay!
This was a wonderful place to stay. The beds were comparable to a luxury hotel in their size and pristine white down comforters. Every amenity was available including dishes/pots/pans/plates and silverware in the kitchen. A very modern washer and dryer along with ironing board and iron were also readily available. The bathrooms with their thick towels/washcloths and even specialized makeup cloths were wonderful. AND, the fireplace! What an awesome experience to sit in front of the fire on a frosty night and morning! This cabin was a place I would come back to again and again!

Serene and Beautiful!
Storybrook Cottage is truly a special place - calm, serene and beautiful. The cottage is nestled in the woods surrounded by tall, magnificent trees with views of the mountain. The minute you drive up to this property you feel instantly relaxed. The cottage is tastefully decorated with ample space and is about ten minutes from town. The amenities are outstanding - fluffy comforters and towels, scented bath salts, every kitchen accessory you might need, and much more. The owners are a delight to work with because they are very responsive and want to make sure you have an extraordinary vacation/getaway. Storybrook Cottage is perfect for a romantic getaway or a family vacation. We loved Stonehill Cottages so much that we plan on coming back with family!

Charming Cottage/Beautiful Location
Loved our stay in Storybrook Cottage. It was quiet and peaceful and remote. Exactly what we were looking for. Decor was perfect. Beds were comfortable. Enjoyed having morning coffee on the patio in the lovely white rockers and enjoyed star gazing on the back porch. Humming birds and butterflies were all around the cabin. Also enjoyed bird watching from the patio. Food venue recommendations were spot on. Teenage girls LOVED the hibachi food truck. It was a great, relaxing vacation before school starts. Due to crazy plans, we needed a one-day auto rental; and Kimberly with Mena Ford took care of us kindly and painlessly. Easiest car rental I have ever had. Locals were very nice. Enjoyed the railroad museum and art gallery and the soda shop. Took the girls horseback riding in Joplin at Mountain Habor. Would love to come back each season to see the beauty. Michael and Jessica were great to work with and provided a great foundation for our trip. Thank you so much! Hope to be back soon.

Ahhh Diana! Thank you for the very kind words! Come back soon :)
We visited with friends to ride ATV trails. The cottage was very nice, clean and comfortable. It was also a short ride to the West entrance of Wolf Pen Gap. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return.
We have stayed here before and find something else we love about the area each time we come that we didn’t know before…. We always bring our ATVs, since there is a lot of area to explore and you can ride straight out from the cottage. It is a beautiful neighborhood tucked neatly next to the national forest. The cottage is always clean and cozy. We never have any issues when we stay here. It’s one we will definitely come back to again.
The Cottage and property were overall very lovely. Every person we interacted with was friendly! Cottage had everything we needed and we cooked most of our meals there. The lake was pretty and we were able to catch some fish each day.
