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.

Great stay at the Glass House Retreat. My wife and I went to celebrate our 2nd anniversary, and it was beyond expectations. The house being situated on the river and you can actually fish and catch nice fish from the deck. We came on a Friday and as they state, follow the directions THEY give you not Google bc it will take you to a dead end. The property is immaculate and beautifully laid out. They have 2 big dogs, but they are very friendly, like to be pet, lol. I had my 3month old yorkie w us and their dog even friendly to her. The house has no internet but a DVD player and direct tv w a few channels, no premium movie channels mind you. If you go it's a good idea to bring a few DVDs with you, they have some but are a few years older, you can also bring your phone as a hotspot and watch movies on your laptop. Other than that, they have EVERYTHING you can think of. They thought of everything, towels, toys, treats, doggie, cat bed for your pet, the homemade variety cookies from scratch that you get on the counter were gone before we finished unpacking, they were that good. You can open the doors and windows and hear the small river rapids behind the house it's so relaxing, even after a heavy rain the river still flows at a nice pace to enjoy it, fishing, or just taking it in. Plus, nearby Wilhemena State Park has the 2nd highest mountain in Arkansas, and has a natural spring that you can get in. All in all, one of my top 3 VRBO trips, will definitely be back soon, GREAT hosts!

Beautiful little place on a lovely, flowing creek. We enjoyed our stay here in February. The hosts met us at the door, and were warm and welcoming. They live on the property, but were not intrusive, and we did not see them after the initial welcome. There are two very friendly dogs on the property, and the rental is stocked with a dog bed and several dog toys, so I think pets are welcome. The beds were comfy, kitchen was well stocked, there were even some canned drinks already in the fridge, the bathrooms are nice, the fireplace was a fantastic bonus, with the wood already laid…we just had to strike a match. The home has some wonderful views through its large windows, the property is relaxing and very private, there is an automatic gate at the entrance. I can just imagine how wonderful the porches are to use in the spring and fall. The road in to the property is gravel, so I would not want take a nice car in and out for a stay, but it doesn’t require four wheel drive. This is not a fancy place, but it is comfy and private. We enjoyed our stay here.

Absolutely breathtaking! We even extended our stay because it is so perfect here. The hosts were so inviting and nice. We were also greeted by Reese’s and Gunner, their black labs. It is so serene and the water is constantly flowing. You can even fish from their deck.

We arrived in the dark so was very helpful to have directions to rely on as GPS not always reliable in this area. The house was lit up & welcoming with logs in the fireplace & homemade cookies in the kitchen! Hosts were very gracious & responsive. Very quiet serene setting just miles from town but felt like we were getting away from it all.

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.
