About this property

Entire place

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

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 gazebo with couch and 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.

Peaceful Retreat

This home and property is exactly what we needed. Walking the property with the fall colored leaves on the ground and in the trees was beautiful. Sitting on the deck and the only sound you hear is the birds and the sound of the river passing by. My sister fished off the deck and caught catfish. Roland and Becky Ott thought of everything you would need for your stay and then some. If you are looking to getting away from it all this is your place. If you are bringing children or pets they have provided a lot of things for them. You will never regret booking this home for your stay.

Beautiful Property

Before reaching the house, we were impressed with the grounds and the ambiance of the property. Even with the river reduced to a few deep pools,due to drought, the house is beautifully situated on the river bed. The house is very clean and comfortable, the manicured woods and gardens surrounding it provide a sanctuary for those seeking peace.

Quiet As A Mouse!

This property was a nice, quiet getaway. It's large glass windows were perfect for viewing the great outdoors. The river was very low but that was ok, as our state has been in a drought as well. I would recommend driving the Queen Wilhemenia scenic drive (2 hrs) - it was so relaxing! Becky and Roland have stocked the whole house with many little things we all tend to forget to pack. Enjoy your Fall! The Coleman's. recommend driving therecommend

The hosts are wonderful. They had music playing for us when we got there with homemade cookies and our names on the welcome bar. The cabin was super clean and had everything we needed for our stay.

We were welcomed with a plate of cookies and jazz music playing on the TV. The hosts were friendly and provided us with helpful information about the area. We were disappointed in the river as it was low due to recent drought but we were still able to catch a catfish during our trip. Overall we enjoyed our stay. The grounds around the property are well maintained with many plants to enjoy and paths to walk. If you are looking for peace and quiet, this is a great place to find it,

Wonderful friends getaway

The property is beautiful and the glass house is so clean! We thought Mena had multiple antique shops and restaurants but many were closed. The creek at Glass house is very pretty and the moss paths add an enchanting feeling. The hosts are very responsive people who baked cookies and left fresh flowers for us which was an amazing touch❤️

This place was amazing! The view will blow you away. The entire back side of the house is windows, allowing you to view the river the house sits on anytime you want. Or you can sit on the deck, lay on the hammock, listen to music and relax to the sounds of the river and nature around you. We'll definitely be going back

Solar Eclipse at Home Away from Home

The Glass House Retreat was a perfect place to spend our full solar eclipse trip. While many hosts of rentals canceled and forced a rebook at higher rates during this event, this couple held true to their word and we never had that problem. Roland and Becky have paid attention to every detail. We were greeted with fresh homemade cookies and they came over to introduce themselves when we arrived. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and you can see the hard work they have put into the place. Bring your fishing pole, there are fish in the creek next to the house and yes, I caught some perch from the deck! We appreciated how well stocked everything was. If you forget something, they are bound to have it already there. We also loved the visits from their sweet dogs. We would definitely recommend this place and plan to be back!

Spring Break Family Trip

We had a wonderful time at the Glass House Retreat. Upon our arrival the house was very clean and inviting. After our long drive, it felt just like coming home. The grounds/gardens are immaculate. Flowers and trees were in bloom. After a short, exploring walk along the river, the fragrance of the flowers welcomed me back as it drifted on the spring breeze. We visited/hiked several State and National parks. Attended a wonderful Sunday service. Went on a guided fishing trip and caught over 70lbs of striped bass. We also fished the river at the house and the adjacent reservoir. Had good luck both places. Our hosts Rolland and Becky are so nice and helpful. The beds are comfy, and they had plenty of items available for those little things you may have forgotten. We were so pleased with the Glass House Retreat. They really put their heart into providing a beautiful and relaxing home for our stay.

Peaceful retreat!

We were welcomed by a cozy home decorated for Christmas just off the picturesque edge of the creek/river. House information was labeled clearly (DVD closet, filtered water, bedding, trash bag cabinet, cookie sheets, etc.) so we were able to navigate the house at our leisure. Property owners were concerned that we were comfortable and felt welcome to use the property while respecting our privacy. We usually get away for the holidays so we can recharge and focus on each other, and the kids already voted to come back next year as we have so many unexplored trails! Thank you!

Couldn't Be More Perfect! :-)

Our family traveled to Mena for a quiet peaceful Thanksgiving and we found that and more! Roland's and Becky's cabin is wonderful. Impeccably clean, well stocked, beautiful location, comfortable furnishings, quiet, private and so much more! One of our favorite events while there were the visits from Gunner and Reeses, who are their dogs. They were the best without being intrusive or bothersome. It was always a treat to look out one of the huge windows and see them grinning back at you. They made being away from our own pets more bearable. In all seriousness, if I had to think of something else our hosts could have done to increase the quality of our stay, I am unable to do so. As far as technology is concerned the cabin includes a large tv in the living area with a nice selection of channels from DirectTV. We also had no problems hot- spotting the internet from our phones. You will not make a mistake in reserving this cabin and getting to meet the wonderful hosts. I can't wait until we can go back! Thank you for a fabulous time Roland and Becky!
