We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The best part for us was the awesome view. It was so relaxing. We even got to see two eagles in a tree right below us. We would definitely go back.

It was our pleasure hosting you and we are glad that you enjoyed your stay!
This was a quiet yet not too remote perch overlooking Lake Catherine with stunning views, wildlife, and nearby trails in the state park up the street. We were there a week and easily could have stayed another. The management company, the neighbor who helped with everything, and the locals were TOPS! It was a beautiful vacation for resting and just hanging out! Loved it!

Glad that we were able to accommodate your extra family members. Come visit us again sometime!
It was a quiet nice place to stay. Close to places I wanted to visit. The only thing that might need to be fixed was the sliding glass door in one of the bathrooms. It kept getting caught, when opening and closing.

Definitely an exceptional vacation property! The views, cleanliness, functionality, location, and rental cost make this property one of he best vacation values in the state of Arkansas, for sure!! The freshness of the air, the sunsets, and sounds of nature are exceptional from the balcony which overlooks lake Catherine and appears to be on the same level as the surrounding ouchita mountains. You will experience a rare personal type of support renting this unit, they are genuinely kind and considerate.

We stayed at this property for almost a week while our son was at camp. It is in an extremely safe location and soooo quiet. Neighbors (residents) were very cordial. Property was clean and had a couple of little things that were in disrepair but weren’t a big deal (garbage disposal didn’t work properly and microwave handle/guest shower knob was loose). We saw deer, rabbits, squirrels, and birds. Fireworks were perfect on the 4th!!! One of the pictures can be deceiving on website as it appears that part of a large balcony downstairs is available but in actuality it is the neighbors. Place was great and would stay again.

Great guest! Left property in great shape and followed all rules.
The afternoon heat of the day was more than the air conditioner could handle, but not unbearable. Shades and a ceiling fan in the living room would probably help.
Overall cleanliness could use attention.
Owner informed me the grill was gas, but it was actually charcoal.
Outside of a few minor deficiencies, we absolutely enjoyed our stay.

Aww Ray your so kind for this five ⭐️. Thanks so much for your input. It means so much. I heard about your troubles. I was concerned because that is a new AC unit. I have called for return service for today. Thank you for letting us know about this issue in this unit.
And, I have changed cleaners and getting a few newer furnishings.
We always aim to make our guest completely satisfied.
Come back and check us out again and I’ll make it right!
Safe travels.
Sincerely
JoAnn
This property was a beautiful and peaceful place for our family getaway. In searching, we read all the reviews and almost all of the reviews remarked at how peaceful it was. That was a big factor in our decision and this property did not disappoint. The location gives the impression of privacy and safe too (as it is gated). Just the utter serenity of the place was a big draw and we hope to be able to come back again in the fall (when it will be a little cooler, LOL).
