Do not add children under 12 (they stay free). Please send us a note instead to let us know the total number of guests. Rural private pet friendly setting in the picturesque Ouachita National Forest. Large picture windows covering two sides of this six sided house overlooking the Irons Fork River. This completely remodeled beautiful home has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, plus a queen sleeper sofa and two recliners, washer/dryer, central heat and air, wood burning fireplace along with full kitchen including stove, microwave, refrigerator and dishwasher. Fully furnished with all utensils, pots, pans, small crock pot, electric knife, blender, tea kettle, toaster and coffee pot along with linens and towels. Adding that special touch, including soaps, shampoos, coffee etc. make this a true home away from home. Living room has 50" plasma TV, DVD/VHS player, and tons of movies to choose from. Relax and unwind on the extra large deck overlooking the water, or take a stroll among the many flower garden paths, or visit the fruit orchard only yards away. There is a large hammock on the deck for relaxing and a charcoal grill for outdoor cooking. Charcoal and lighter are not provided. A firepit with 4 chairs are in the back. You most likely will see many wild animals including deer, bunnies, squirrels, armadillos and occasionally a friendly bear with her cubs will stroll along the back of the field. We are approximately 30 minutes from Wolf Pen Gap trail head but have plenty of relaxing roads and trails to ride your ATV or side-by-sides in the area. The only internet we receive here is from our phones. Please print directions and map. GPS devices will most likely get you lost out here in the "sticks" lol. Pet fee is $30 (max 2 pets) All pets MUST be in crate/kennel when left unattended. Again, please do not add children under 12 (they stay free). Please send us a note to let us know the total number of guests.

We had a wonderful stay over Thanksgiving week! The beds are super comfortable, the living space was bigger than I expected (and perfect for our 11-month-old to crawl around and play), and the view of the creek through the expansive windows around the living room is beautiful. The owners have made really nice updates to the house, and it was stocked with everything you could need. The owners were also very conscientious and responsive, and they gave clear directions to access the house. I ended up needing internet access to do some work while I was there, and I had no issues whatsoever hotspotting (service is Verizon). Highly recommend this property, and we definitely plan to book again the next time we come to Mena!

Upon arrival we were greeted by the host who were very sweet Christian people! They provided everything you would need even with special goodies! The deck area and grounds were beautiful! We saw several deer, turkey and squirrels! We wish the river would have been at a higher level, but enjoyed the serenity of the trickle. Would definitely recommend this Glass House to stay again!!

Hide-a-way bed in couch has a mattress in poor shape. My daughter slept on it by herself for two nights. Although, pet-friendly there are stipulations that the animals can not be on the furniture or beds. The house itself was clean and well maintained. The cupboards were maintained but did not have any cooking oil which we forgot ourselves. It rained while we were there and that was still charming and nice. The ONLY legit concern I have is for directions to the cabin. Since you can't see county road signs, we ended up going in to the Quachita National Forest and going up the mountain. It took two different phone calls to the owners to get there. And that is the best thing, the owners were available at any time and they have done the best they can to get the county out there to clean up around the Road signs. Just take your time getting there and don't be scared to call and ask for directions. OH one more thing, it was dry so no fishing off the deck.

We very much enjoyed our stay at this property. Every thing was as described and very clean. We enjoyed being able to sit out on the wrap around porch, watching the fish and turtles in the creek that run just beside the porch. Thanks to the host for all the extra details they put into the cabin to make our stay more enjoyable. .

Excellent stay. Becky went above and beyond with welcome cookies. They left worms for fishing, and poles, and just a bunch of wonderful things which you don't think of until you don't have them. We had a family gathering for 5 days, and we all enjoyed it thoroughly. Very relaxing property.

1st, there is a trick for the host to know how much interaction to have with guest…they were PERFECT. 2nd: the location was PERFECT. We wanted to be secluded, away from the daily grind. Even w the hostess on backside of property, we couldn’t see it from living room or porch. 3rd: you you can fish from the porch. 4th: come prepared to tube the Iron Fork River. Walk upstream about 50/60 yard and enjoy a relaxing 10-12 min float. We did it about 15 times. Can’t say enough about how excellent the accommodations were for 4 adults, 1 child (13yo) and 2 dogs. Everything was…PERFECT!

Peaceful easy feelin'

We truly enjoyed our stay , and the owners were great....so were the four legged greeters! I loved the fact you could fish from the deck too! The grounds remind me of what a fairy garden would be like. So much love has been put into the grounds and the cabin was so cozy...the only thing I have as a negative is the pergola with the nice seating area was gone....bummer...I would recommend this out of the way place for sure...so quiet and peaceful...like a big hug. Thanks Becky and Roland for sharing!!
