    Great people. Great cabins. An absolute outstanding time spend in the Arkansas wilderness. So thankful for their help.

    I am beyond thankful to have found this place at the last minute.

I was so happy that she had a cabin available (cabin #2)! And what a cabin! These are log cabins with long decks that overlook the Arkansas hills. Everything was clean and just really, really nice. I was looking for a place with a full kitchen, and this had it (well, minus the oven, but that was OK, it had a toaster oven!), including full-sized refrigerator, microwave, stove. The kitchen had everything you might need: pots, pans, all manner of utensils, all the dishes and silverware, storage containers potholders, etc. There was a dining table, and couches and a coffee table in front of the fireplace. There were games on the shelf that you could play, there were lots of power outlets, big fluffy towels in the bathroom, and parking for 2+ cars. The downstairs bedroom had a queen bed (I think) and upstairs in the loft was a twin and a double. Lots of room to spread around here! The deck had a birdfeeder and a hummingbird feeder (and, yes, the hummingbirds do show up), with rocker-swing two-seater, barbecue, bench, and two chairs, just plenty of room to hang out. Our deck overlooked a beautiful field in front of the view of all the pretty Arkansas hills. Oh, and the sunset was almost directly in front of us! I felt like I was living in the hunting lodge of a Lord of the Manor and thoroughly enjoyed being there. It is about a quarter-mile up a side road from Highway 7, just south of Jasper, and it was very quiet there except for the sounds of birds! Kelly was extremely accommodating and gracious, and again, I was thoroughly thrilled to find this place on short notice because it was really spectacular and beyond my expectations!

    With just four cabins, and located outside of town, it might be easy to overlook Ozark Mountain…read moreCabins, but then you'd miss out one of the gems of the Jasper Area. Sitting on the side of the mountain, each cabin features spectacular views of the valley. With three full size beds, our cabin was just the right size for a group looking to explore the nearby river or hike in the mountains. The kitchen is fully outfitted and they even provide a grill! The only drawback is that there is no internet or TV. Of course, this might be seen as a benefit to some as it adds to the charm or being in a cabin in an area known for its outdoor activities.

No issues in spotting Little Switzerland as it's located on Highway 7 (north of Jasper and south of Pruitt). Parking is available. Checking in and out were simple. There was a dog and cat on the property but not bothersome at all (only saw them at check-in). Great location for a weekend to disconnect and enjoy the company/nature around you. Cabin 3 Room 5 (second floor of unit) was simple yet homey - included 1 queen and 2 twin beds, mini-fridge, microwave, round table/chairs, towels, cable tv, and bathroom. Things to consider bringing - hair dryer, toiletries, can opener, board/lawn games, adult beverages/bottle opener (property is in a dry county), water/snacks.

I took my wife here on our honeymoon a few years ago because she loves all things Switzerland and the website makes it look very promising... We were very disappointed. The only nice chalet was the gift shop. To this day I still tell my wife I owe her an actual honeymoon. I'm not ranting against these people but just wanted to save you some time, money, etc. I don't know what, if anything, has changed since then but honestly based on our experience I'd have to say You'd do better going to...basically anywhere else.

    Stayed one night at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Harrison while visiting family in the area,…read moreand this was a very solid stay. The room was clean and had some nice features. I especially appreciated that the outlets were located in convenient places around the room, which makes a difference when traveling with phones, chargers, and devices. The air conditioning worked very well and kept the room comfortable all night. The common areas were also clean and well maintained. The lobby had a welcoming feel, the indoor pool area was bright and inviting, and the breakfast area was organized and easy to use. Breakfast was decent, and I was pleasantly surprised to see they offered a turkey sausage patty in addition to the regular breakfast items. One thing worth noting is that they no longer keep coffee makers in every room as part of their sustainability policy. Instead, they offer fresh coffee in the lobby 24 hours a day. It means a little extra walking, but the sign explained that it is part of their effort to reduce single-use waste, which I can appreciate. Also, the front desk can provide a coffee maker if requested. The only minor issue was that the downstairs beverage machine did not have a water option because that feature was broken during our stay. Overall, this was a clean, comfortable, and dependable overnight stop, and I would definitely stay here again. 117 Highway 43 E Harrison, AR 72601

    First, The GOOD: The phone number works, it's where it says…read moreit is, they do have rooms, the place is smack in the middle of Jasper, not two blocks from Ozark Cafe (our final destination in Jasper). It's also very affordable, and we were able to check-in late (which I know is a hassle for Mom & Pop outfits). Also, and I can't express how wonderful this was, we were able to bring our dog. Oh, and they do offer Canoe rentals, which is a big draw in the area. Now, the not so good, where to start? Brace yourself for a long review... In order for us to check-in, they left our room key *in the door.* Which, while convenient, was very strange to me. When we walked in the room, it was after a very long day of driving, so we plopped our stuff down on the extra bed and got ready to relax. I noticed on the way in that the main light in the room was a bare bulb with no cover, and there was a recently-patched part of wall in the shape of a smoke detector, but I didn't see any smoke detector there or anywhere else. I also noticed that the pilot light for the old gas wall-heater was left on for us (that's nice!) I turned on the heater because it was getting to be a cold night out. I went to the bathroom, flicked on the light, which flashed on for a second and then died. The only light. And no windows either. It was late enough I assumed we couldn't call anyone to fix that, so I just flicked on a cell phone light and rolled with it. While using the facilities I found that the toilet seat aggressively would not stay up. After I'd finished using the toilet I started gasping, and realized I'd just peed in a toilet bowl full of bleach in an unventilated room (oh, no fan in the bathroom either). So I flushed and got out of there ASAP. I'm a big fan of cleaning with bleach, but I know better than to mess with it without any air flow, and definitely not mixed with Ammonia/pee. I came out of the bathroom, and noticed that the room was nice and warm, and that the heater had shut itself off - AND shut off the pilot light while the gas was still on. I quickly turned the gas off. At this point, we found the gas/CO2 detector. It was in a dresser drawer, and we found it because it started beeping. Well, at least it works, right? So, we opened the door and swung it a bit to mix in some fresh air, which made the beeping stop. But now the room was around 50 degrees and we didn't want to turn the heater back on. This was around when I noticed that the outlets - ALL the outlets - in the room were two-prong. Something old enough that I'd never even seen before, let alone seen an entire room of them, so it's a good thing we didn't bring anything we needed to plug in... Care to guess if there's Wi-Fi or not? At this point, two folks in the room next to us went out into the driveway to smoke. I appreciated that, because they were trying to be responsible and smoke outside - but that's when we noticed that the seal on our door didn't do a darn thing, so for a few hours, our room smelled like smoke. We were laughing our butts off by then, because what else can you do? We had our picnic dinner, piled every sheet and blanket we could find on the one bed, and went to sleep on the threadbare mattress. Easily the craziest Motel stay I've ever had. It almost felt like it had been booby-trapped. But, we were just looking for a place to sleep, so it worked. But Man! What an experience!

Our room was on the fifth floor of building 2. There is an elevator so accessing the upper floors is easy. There were plenty of luggage carts available. Our "room" was a one bedroom apartment. Full kitchen (full size fridge/freezer, stove/oven, toaster, microwave, 12 cup coffee pot, double sink, dishwasher, pots/pans, plates, utensils, etc) A large dining table with seating for six. Living room with couch and chair and TV with Cable and several streaming apps that you can sign into with your own credentials (also a DVD player which we did not use.) The king size bed in the bedroom was very comfortable! Another TV in the bedroom. The bathroom was very nice. Typical hotel bathrooms have terrible lighting for applying make-up, but the lighting in this bathroom was very bright and they offered a magnifying mirror. The tub is comfortable and large for taking a relaxing bath! The shower operated very well, with a normal shower head plus a hand held shower wand. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash supplied. Lots of towels and washcloths. This place was super clean, extremely comfortable. If I had to find a negative, it would be that they charge $15/day for parking which seems ridiculous. We would definitely stay here again.
