If you look on the map it looks like you are in the middle of a pasture, and that's sort of how it feels. It's the most comfortable place I've ever stayed. And the owners, Barbara and Edward Clare are almost like family to all of their guests. When you stop in the main house they have a fresh baked loaf of bread for you--there's butter and blackberry jelly in your fridge at one of the two cottages. Now if you are looking for 5-star accommodations with the finest spa amenities, this is not your place. If you are looking for a country cabin with a fire pit, comfy bed, rustic beauty of the mountains all around you--then you have hit pay-dirt. This is the only place I stay in the area. Based on when you books you will pay $80-$100 per night, less than most hotels in the area. We stayed the night before in Mena and regretted it. The cottage has a fully stocked kitchen with coffee, hot tea and enough spices, pots, pans and dishes for you to cook what ever you want. I make breakfast every time I'm there. I grab some eggs and ham at the local convenience store and I'm set. The bed is comfy and the bathrooms is super clean. They have DISH Network, so you can watch television or enjoy the selection of VHS tapes. But really you should go sit on the porch and see the stars or listen for the wildlife to come scurrying by.

So much seating all over the hotel and of course lots of big windows for the views, so the interior was naturally lit. If I could suggest anything, it would be an update to the thermostats, a pretty penny, I'm sure. The aircon blew nice cold air that cut the humidity, but the thermostat didn't adjust easily, room 205 FYI. We couldn't just push it a tiny bit or the change wouldn't register, so I pushed it too far. Woke up in a hot room, tried to push it down only a tiny bit, didn't work. I managed to sleep enough, but it was cooling at 71 or 77. Really difficult to get it in between. I finally decided it was easier to sleep warm than sleep cold.

My room (Middle Eastern) was bright and comfortable. Last night, I appeared to be alone in the place, with its proximity to potentially menacing dolls in a crib (and deep, looming shadows down the entryway). Things might well have gotten spooky (and if I had the $$ and a production crew, this would be an amazing location for an indie-horror flick!) Instead, because the vibe was so clean and the aura so well-manicured, it was a perfectly tranquil, restful evening.

This place is clean and has decent electricity, cute, and history appropriate, but the themed rooms are cool. The only problem me and other guests had was you had to let yourself in with a code at night, no onsite staff, and the door lock was quirky.
