About the host
Hosted by Sarah Fowler
My husband and I built Shady Pines Cottage with "whole" families in mind. This includes children and pets! Our dog, who is no longer with us, was always our biggest concern when we were going to travel. Offering the opportunity for families to bring all of their members creates a much better experience for everyone. With that, we wanted to offer others all of things that we have desired in a host property.
Why they chose this property
We chose this location because it is set in a beautiful natural landscape. Overlooking a pond, and offering the opportunity to see wild animals; rabbits, squirrels, deer, birds, etc. We wanted this space to feel safe and serene for those needing to get away from the hustle and bustle of their everyday lives.
What makes this property unique
Our property is the perfect retreat for individuals and families that want to getaway and enjoy the beautiful nature here in Arkansas. Our outdoor patio space, is an outdoor living space, that invites the ourdoors in. We also provide an outdoor crystal/rock washing station for the crystal/rock enthusiasts.
