Wonderful!

My friend and I made a special trip to go digging for quartz and diamonds and this was the perfect spot to stay! Paula's space was very clean, convenient, safe, and thoughtful. She was kind enough to leave some tools for us to borrow for our dig and recommended a great spot for swimming!! Definitely would recommend to anyone making a trip to Mt. Ida and I plan to stay again in the future.

Top Tier!

Amazing, comfortable and convenient! I have stayed in several places in the area the last few weeks and this is BY FAR the BEST! Honestly the pictures don’t do it justice at all. It is on the smaller side, but so cozy and brand new with high end fixtures and features. Beds were very comfortable and there were many extra blankets and sheets available. Everything was available for coffee and any other items you need for your stay. FYI: there is only room to park 2 cars so not to block the garage doors, but this was fine for us. Also, there was an extra twin mattress in the closet that was very helpful to us! Hope this is available when we come to the area again!!

This is a great place to stay!

My husband and I loved staying at the upstairs hideaway. The first positive we noticed after arriving was that it was nice and clean. You can tell that the host took the extra time to make sure that even the small things were taken care of. Aside from the hideaway being so clean, it was a comfortable place to stay. It felt very safe and I was able to fully relax and sleep well while staying there. Checking in and out was a breeze and the host was very kind and down to earth. Aside from the physical place that we stayed in, we were takenhe state of Arkansas is absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend that everyone plan a trip to Arkansas and stay at the Upstairs hideaway when you go! You will not be disappointed!

Great Place, Thoughtful Hosts

My wife and son and I stayed here one night before we picked up our daughter from Camp Ozark. The check in process was simple, the property was VERY well stocked (plenty of linens, toiletries, etc...), and it was just as advertised. There are lots of activities and things to do in this area, and the hosts have done a great job compiling brochures, information, and their recommendations for those activities and local restaurants. I would definitely recommend this property and stay here again.
