It was a perfect location for hitting the wolfpen gap trails. One of the trucks we had was pulling a 40ft trailer and had room to turn around. Very nice place. Was way to hot to use the firepit or hot tub, but we hope to return when it's colder. And when the six of us got ready we all had hot water for shower, which was amazing.
This was a great experience. First time to the area. Dwelling was great and the hosts were friendly and very helpful. Would definitely recommend this property. Thanks.
A great place to stay. The house is three levels with bathrooms on each floor and plenty of parking. Also close to the wolf pen trailheads which you can ride to from the house.
Great cabin, clean, has everything you need to enjoy the stay

Property was absolutely beautiful! So much bigger than the pics! All cedar in the inside! The host is soooo sweet! We will deficiency stay there again!
Outstanding place with many amenities, comfort and cleanliness. A great stocked kitchen downstairs, made it great for the adults to prepare meals while the kids played in the game room and hot tub. The quick access to the trails and large parking lot made this the ultimate place to stay.
We had a great stay at the Back Roads Barn. From the game room Foosball Tournament to the hot tub and the fire pit, this place had exactly what we needed. And Mark and Alicia qualify as true Super Hosts - maybe the best VRBO hosts we've ever had!
Amazing weekend and the accommodations were top notch!
Had the best time during our stay at the backwoods barn! The host were amazing and have thought of everything! I would highly recommend this cabin it’s so clean and everything is updated.
Great place to stay with separate bedrooms and bathrooms; much better than just staying in a hotel room. Great kitchen, good for cooking a meal or two so you don't have to eat out all the time. Plenty of parking for vehicles, trailers, and motorcycles. Close proximity to Iron Mountain. Excellent communication with hosts.
We couldn’t have been more happy with our stay. Mark and Alicia are wonderful host and communication before, during, and after our stay was impressive. The house was better than expected and exceeded our expectations and needs. We look forward to staying again next time we visit Mena.
Hands down, best hosts we've had. Super helpful & responsive! This home was perfect for our "framily" sxs weekend! Excellent access to trails, lots of room to spread out, plenty of seating, and very comfortable beds! I particularly loved all of the seating in the kitchen area! We loved having meals together!
This house is great! So much fun for the kids and the perfect layout!! This was our second time at this house and we’ve stayed in one other cabin by the same owner and she is so sweet and helpful and always responds immediately! We’ll be back soon!
