Perfect

This place was the perfect little updated spot to stay while we visited family. The beds, pillows, and linens were comfortable. It had all the basic appliances and cookware. There was a huge fenced in yard, a charcoal bbq grill, and hammocks. We were able to plug in our hybrid in the covered parking area. There is plenty of room in the kitchen and a table that seats 6- great for family dinners. The master bedroom had its own bathroom. Most importantly, at least for me, is that everything was so clean. I’m a person that needs a clean space. The owner was so nice. She came over to deliver a box fan for the porch when I asked if there was one hidden somewhere. She was over in less than 10 minutes. She even brought us tomatoes from her garden and left fresh flowers in the kitchen. Really, I can’t think of anything that was missing.

Great property

We rented this house for a lake vacation with our kids. It was very clean and well maintained. We had everything we needed in the kitchen. It is in a quiet road that made for great evening walks with our kids. The home owner made us feel very welcome and we would definitely rent there again.

Excellent place to stay

The house was very clean n stocked. Has a back porch to sit on if it rains with table and chairs. There is also a fire pit area with plenty of wood to use. The carport was nice to pull our truck in after a long day at the crystal mines.

A ray of sunshine in a stormy week

The house was perfect for our family of three! It was the cleanest and most well equipped VRBO property I have ever stayed in. The owner’s good taste in decor and necessities shined thru! Even though it rained —a lot every day —we were still able to hike the upper legs of the trails near the house. It was only a 10 minute drive to some great trail heads on the Oachita National Trail. When the area was threatened with severe storms and tornadoes the owner relayed where we could find shelter. She truly cared about us and wanted us to be safe. I would definitely recommend this property!!!!!

This place is simply magical! Everything was impeccable, with every detail you could imagine taken care of. But what we loved the most was the daily visits from the adorable Buddy. Our family campfire was a highlight, and the comfort and positive energy of the place made it truly special. We loved every moment and are so grateful for the beauty and personalization of this incredible spot. Thank you for making our stay unforgettable! Thanks!!!! Love, Patty & Family

Cosmic Crystal AR Adventure

We came for the Eclipse and stayed the rest of the week at Ella's House to explore the area and check out the Crystal mines. This place was perfect! Great location. Very nice, clean, house with comfy beds. So much better and cheaper than staying at a hotel in Hot Springs. We all really enjoyed our stay and would absolutely come back. Thank you!
