The Back Roads Barn was fantastic. Clean, comfortable, and tucked away in a peaceful spot. Everything was exactly as described, and the atmosphere made for a perfect getaway. Highly recommend. The property owner was very nice and attentive. Very close to the wolf pen gap trail system.

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!

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!
