About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The vampire's den, downtown big house, pets ok

Once upon a midnight dreary, in my quest for lodging, weary,
I stumbled upon a house, peculiar and eerie,
With ebony floors that creaked and croaked,
A grand old clock that tick-tocked and joked.

Four bedrooms, where the bizarre did dwell,
A dining room with tales to tell,
A kitchen that conjured culinary spells,
Two bathrooms, where the ordinary rebelled.

Pet friendly, (no werewolfs), balcony and front porch, washer and dryer.

We invite you inside to share a bite of vampiric fantasy. This home has stood for generations in the downtown Fort Smith area and you can be a part of that legacy.

The Large bay window in the bridal chamber is the perfect perch to watch the victims, I mean people pass by.

The giant dinner chamber will provide ample room for the entire coven to bond over a warm meal.

The young can teeth on the bunnies in our forest room.

perhaps the Victorian era calls to some sense of nostalgia for some. this room features a second story balcony with a park view.

the kitchen is perfectly suited for the preparation of any delights or indulgence.

we welcome you to our little paradise.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms and a dining area. The bathroom offers hair dryers and bidets. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Grabbed for Graduation

Came back to the Fort for our son's graduation, wanted a place big enough for our family to have space while celebrating his big day. A hotel would've not only been ridiculously expensive but there wouldn't have been room and privacy like what we got here. 3 loved the decor and hospitality of the hosts. Our dog loved it too!!!

The family and I loved staying in Dracula’s house. He was a very gracious host. Lots of Easter Eggs to explore. Cold A/C and household supplies provided. Cool alley in the back to walk around.
I didn’t take any photos of the house 😢, but we did visit the gallows at Fort Smith which is a very short drive away.

If you love unique stays this is it!

We had fun, the kids and teens had mixed feelings about the decor but came around and didn’t want to leave by the time we left LOL! There were talks of “when I have my own house it will be this theme” on the way home. There were lots of interesting things to look at. Our host was very quick to answer any questions we had, especially when we had trouble with Verbo’s email instructions. The property is very close to downtown museums, restaurants, and stores within walking distance. The shared hot tub felt really good to relax in, it was stormy off and on our weekend stay so we didn’t spend too much time in it. Thank you for a great stay, we enjoyed our weekend get away that was super budget friendly for our family of 5.

It was ok...

The neighborhood is a little sketchy, but so is most of Fort Smith, so take that with a grain of salt. We never had anything dangerous happen to us, but the people looks rough walking around the neighborhood. The house was mostly clean. We went to use the baby bath and it was very gross inside. I also think the dark colors in the house make it feel less clean. The check in process was not seamless. I wasn't able to locate the check-in code or WIFI password on VRBO. However, Shayne was very attentive and answered his phone right away to help. Shanye was very nice and actually met my family at the property to help them get in before I arrived. Overall I would rate my experience as OK and if you need a place to stay while passing through fort smith I would recommend.

Shayne is great! Top 5 places I’d recommend in the US.

Firstly, Shayne is an incredible host. He was responsive, considerate and you can tell how much effort went into this house! Secondly, I think Vampires Den is amazingly spot on! From the decor all throughout the house to the shower curtain, you felt like you were in Draculas house.
