Ideal house for our trip

We enjoyed the house so much. It was roomy and we each had our own space but plenty of room to be together. We came for a sad occasion but it was so much better since we were together with friends. The house was perfect. Thank you so much.

This was a home away from home. I short drive through the country to the local town with convenient stores. The home was cozy and very accommodating. We enjoyed the ease for our travels and was close enough to all the pleasures we experienced; petit jean, lake sylvia, Little Rock Zoo, etc. We felt safe and secure with our 1 year old, and the homeowners very attentive through email or text to answer any questions. We would definitely stay here again. :)

House in the country

Lovely home in the country. Near Petit Jean State Park and also within 30-45 minutes of Conway, AR. Large spacious living area, comfy beds, 2 1/2 baths. We didn't use the kitchen but it was well stocked with everything needed (except groceries). Hosts were easy to reach. Great stay. We would return if back in the area again.

Good Arkansas Explorer Travel Hub

We had a wonderful family friendly stay at Mountains and Meadows! Petit Jean was spectacular and the kids loved the Perryville splash pad and playground. The local grocery store had everything we needed for low-key family meals. We traveled to Little Rock and enjoyed the Clinton Library and dinosaur exhibit. Hurts Donuts were our kid’s favorite. The property owners were accessible and helpful. Check this property out of you want a quiet vacation or are willing to drive a bit to see the sights nearby.

Beautiful Quiet Location

The home was beautiful. It was very clean and you could tell that Crystal & Jim took pride in their home. We arrived a little ahead of check-in time and they were very accommodating. If you are looking for a quiet place away from everything them this is definitely the location. It is far enough away but not too far to enjoy outdoors at Mt Pettie Jean (20 minutes) or Mt Nebo (40 minutes). If it is city that you are looking for then Little Rock isn’t but 20 minutes away. We definitely will stay again!

AKR stop over

Midway stopover from Corpus Christi, TX to Bloomington, IL. It was the perfect place to regroup. Will definitely stop again if I am in the area, especially if I have a couple days. The house is well appointed and had almost everything we could have possibly needed. (Charcoal for the grill would have been nice) it may have been there and we just didn’t see it. But, seriously the home was fantastic for us.

Beautiful home

Enjoyed our first night there. Beautiful, clean home. Had issues with the property manager due to miscommunication. They do check on you quiet frequently and their home to see how their home is doing. (Understandable but sometimes it’s overwhelming) Only thing I didn’t like was that the owner lied and said she was the cleaning lady just so she could get inside to see what was going on. Other than that, good place.
Response from VrboOwner on 22 March 2020
I don't believe there was any miscommunication on our end. House rules were clear on the website and posted on the refrigerator. I am the co-owner and did not lie to get in. I brought new towels, washcloths, and paper supplies while we were passing through. Any excess communication was to ask you to plug the cameras back in and to be upfront with any issues or expectations. Your 12 friends may have assumed I was the cleaning lady when I knocked since I had those items, but I never told them that. House rules were blatantly not followed, hosted a party, and guests lied.

Secluded weekend getaway

The property is about a half hour drive from either Petit Jean State Park or Morrilton. Petit Jean is beautiful and Morrilton has a quaint downtown area. We enjoyed both. It was to have our own place to retire to away from everything else. The house was clean and we'll kept on a very quiet street. There were 6 of us, the youngest being my 16 year old son. So we had to use the couch as an extra sleeping space. (The full bed would work for smaller children). But there were plenty of blankets and sheets, plus there were extra air mattresses that we did not use. Everyone was comfortable. We loved it.

Quick Mini Summer Vacation

We enjoyed our stay,and plan to come again. The house was very clean, My husband, myself, our 2 teenaged boys and our young daughter loved the house. We all slept comfortably. They even had air mattress which is what my daughter choose to sleep on. Plenty of room for all of us!! The Location was so nice, very close to so many lakes and of course Petit Jean. We visited Sylvia Lake numerous times, great place to swim, and then spent whole day at Petit Jean. We will be visit again.
