Housing was as advertised. More than enough space for us and comfortable. Property itself is beautiful, quiet, and relaxing. We had seen rabbits, deer, and cows every morning while we had our coffee. Very lovely place to stay.

Traveling with 3 small kids and my wife to visit family nearby. The grass was mowed the house was super clean. Everything was comfortable and organized. drawers and cabinets were labeled and well stocked. The owners were very nice and our kids even got the chance to play with their grandkids. Really beautiful farm, we felt like we were staying with family. Do not hesitate, book this place, its affordable and about as good as it gets. Go explore Arkansas! My family will be back soon.

Cottage is perfectly located that once you arrive and unload sxs that truck stays parked until time to go home. (As long as you bring groceries on way in of course) Lots of wildlife to watch in mornings when drinking coffee before you head out on sxs. You can ride all day for a week and never have see same trails. So many swimming holes along the unbeaten path and you never have to ride far to find a creek running along the road or crossing it. The Host are wonderful people and there was even a fresh homemade chocolate cake waiting for us when we arrived. Whether you looking for place to ride your atv/utv or just relax and enjoy the wildlife along the creek right behind the cabin, this place is the one.

The property is gorgeous, house is nice, clean, and well furnished. The owners contacted me before, during, and after our visit to make sure we didn't need anything and that our stay was satisfactory. We will be staying here again.

This was a wonderful place to stay. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The owners were super friendly and accommodating. The only issue we had was the lack of access to WI-FI which made it hard to know what to expect for the weather each day and using online maps to locate other towns nearby to visit. We loved our visit and would highly recommend this home to others that want to ride the ATV trails. This was a very good experience! Thank you to the owners for your hospitality.

The house was immaculate upon arrival and had views for days. Between the clear ponds and fall foliage it made for a relaxing weekend despite the rain. The hosts communicated well and checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed, even brought us a sweet surprise of homemade brownies. So close to the National forest, quaint downtown of Mena and genuine peace and quiet made this stay one of the best we have ever had in Arkansas. We hope to be able to return soon.

At first I was a bit let down because of no TV service....but that quickly changed because of the ability to just disconnect from the world while relaxing and spending quality time with my wife for our anniversary and enjoys God's creation

There are not enough stars in the clear night sky at Karen’s Country Cottage to give as a rating for this property and giving 5 stars almost feels disrespectful. Yes, this slice of Heaven here on earth is just that good.
We didn’t just get a property while staying at this location - we got an entire experience. From comfort, to wildlife, to hospitality, this place has it all.
When we arrived, we were greeted by Ray who is just the sweetest. Ray and Karen are unbelievable hosts. I am convinced they have never met a stranger. They are kind, welcoming, considerate and just so wonderful. Their hospitality is unmatched. We spent our last night on the front porch of the cottage speaking to them both and it felt like we were just catching up with friends.
We fished the ponds in the evening, watched the wildlife out of the sunroom in the morning, played in the creek in the afternoon and star gazed at night. The view of the Milky Way was unreal out there.
It is quite a drive to the city; about a half an hour to a Dollar General and over an hour to a Walmart so be mindful of that, but Karen has this cottage stocked full of amenities just in case something you need runs out. She has really just thought of everything.
The beds are extremely comfortable; not too hard, not too soft. It was all we could do to get out of bed in the morning to get going. The comfort level was perfect.
If you are rockhounds, the Avatar, Wegner and Crystal Vista mines are just over a half hour away. Avant is about 45 minutes away.
There is no wifi and cell service can be tricky, but do yourself a favor and just unplug and reset. It’s so relaxing out there. (The best reception we got for AT&T was in the sunroom on the couch.)
The only negative thing we had to say about this stay was that it certainly was not long enough. We are kicking ourselves for not staying longer and are already trying to find time on our busy calendar to come back.
Ray and Karen are humbly proud of their beautiful property and it’s apparent. They work hard to maintain it and were excited to offer us a tour of their natural springs, adjacent properties and wildlife.
We would book this property over and over again. With as much as we gushed about it to our friends one asked if we had a million dollar vacation opportunity given to us in Bora Bora or a quaint trip to Ray and Karen’s what we would do.
We’d be packed up and on the road to Arkansas :)
