Excellent place to stay

The house was very clean n stocked. Has a back porch to sit on if it rains with table and chairs. There is also a fire pit area with plenty of wood to use. The carport was nice to pull our truck in after a long day at the crystal mines.

Great stay in Mt. Ida

We had a great stay at Ella's House in Mt. Ida. The house is super clean! The host even worked with us to allow a late check out due to a change in our travel plans. This will definitely be our go to place from now on when visiting Mt. Ida every summer!

Lovely Cottage

This was a wonderful place to stay. The owner had a sweet handwritten card for us with snacks waiting the on the table when we walked in the door. There was a travel guide book with info on various places around the area. It’s peaceful and quiet.

A ray of sunshine in a stormy week

The house was perfect for our family of three! It was the cleanest and most well equipped VRBO property I have ever stayed in. The owner’s good taste in decor and necessities shined thru! Even though it rained —a lot every day —we were still able to hike the upper legs of the trails near the house. It was only a 10 minute drive to some great trail heads on the Oachita National Trail. When the area was threatened with severe storms and tornadoes the owner relayed where we could find shelter. She truly cared about us and wanted us to be safe. I would definitely recommend this property!!!!!

Peaceful retreat

My family had the best time while staying at Ella's house. The house was perfect and stocked with any and everything we could think of. Buddy, their dog gave us the sweetest welcome and hung out with us a few times during our stay. Close to town and activities. Host was wonderful.

Perfect spot

Lots of space, clean, well presented, easy communication - we had a lovely stay. I made a mistake on booking, but D, the property manager, was understanding and accomodating. Perfect location, over the road from one of the larger crystal mines, 5 mins or so from town. Would definitely stay here again.

Loved this house

This was such a perfect house for us! I loved that it had everything you needed to cook and that it had a designated rock cleaning area. It was quiet and even though it was next to a main road, you would have no idea. Felt very private. Would definitely stay here again.

This place is simply magical! Everything was impeccable, with every detail you could imagine taken care of. But what we loved the most was the daily visits from the adorable Buddy. Our family campfire was a highlight, and the comfort and positive energy of the place made it truly special. We loved every moment and are so grateful for the beauty and personalization of this incredible spot. Thank you for making our stay unforgettable! Thanks!!!! Love, Patty & Family

Ella's is Awesome!

It's an older home but completely redone and I mean completely. It's perfect. The owner was quick to reply and everything went seamlessly. It's easy to find and in a great location for any activities on the south side of lake Ouachita. Next time I travel there, this will be the first place I try to stay.

BFL fishing trip

We had a wonderful time at Ella’s place. We were in town for a fishing tournament. The description of the house was very accurate. There was plenty of room for parking trucks and boats. Love the outdoor space in the back yard. Our hostess responded quickly to any questions we had. It was a great place to stay.

Very pleased. Even though the house is about 4 miles outside the city limits, it's super easy to find and very accessible. Felt very clean and SO cute. Well appointed and very comfortable. Will definitely try to book again any time I am working in the area. This was a work trip. The common areas were perfect for meeting with my small team.
