Thank you for staying with us. Our spiral staircase is a unique feature of our home and we do offer alternative access to the middle floor. We have a singlr story property that might suit your needs better. We invite you to check out Nichols Mountain ATV Hideaway the next time you plan a trip to the area.

We had a large group celebrating a birthday. There was plenty of space for everyone to relax and sleep without being crowded. We loved the close proximity to the different atv trails and the atv rental dropped units off for us. The hot tub was an added bonus after bouncing around on atvs and hiking. Well stocked and easy to communicate with host!

A Great Weekend Getaway in Mena

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!
