Great location and great host

Such a beautiful little “den” tucked away from downtown, but easily walkable to the whole town of Eureka Springs. Parking was great and super helpful to get to places further away. Enjoyed having morning coffee over looking the creek below the property, not to mention feeling extremely safe at night!

The stay was wonderful! We are so thankful to be able to bring the dog with us. We had a chance to meet the managers of the property and both were so welcoming! The cottage is small but perfect for two people and a four legged friend. Thank you all so much for the awesome time!

Cute and Clean!

My husband and I stayed her for our 1st wedding anniversary. The property was so cute and clean! We loved how close of a walk it was to the down town area. We used the fire pit one night and the firewood was already provided. We had a great time and will definitely be back!

Dog friendly weekend getaway

This was a fun trip! My small fur baby was welcome in our rental and throughout the town. Mary was so kind and very responsive. She stocked the room with waters, snacks and coffee which was all much appreciated. I loved the outdoor area and fire pit with a beautiful view from this sitting area.

Tiny but Mighty

This really is a tiny space so you will need to be organized. The location is very close to the action, but it is up a very steep hill-you will get your exercise.. The best part was the back porch where we spent early mornings and late evenings enjoying the forest. Our hosts were very welcoming and responsive to our needs.

Tiny, but mighty

My husband and I celebrated our 7th anniversary at the Fox Den. The location was perfect! We walked everywhere. The den is very tight, but just right for the 2 of us. We loved the porches and outdoor area. Favorite part were the 3 baby red foxes playing in the back yard area. They were so fun to watch. Very private. Cold AC. We would definitely return!

This tiny home was adorable. It's small, but not too small. The back porch is wonderful and peaceful, perfect for drinking your morning coffee. It's a short walk downhill to get to the main strip of Eureka Springs. Walking back uphill was a little harder, but hills are expected when visiting Eureka Springs. We saw deer right outside the the house one evening. The decor was cute and everything was functional and in good working order. LOVED that the host said "you're on vacation, you don't have to do any chores before you leave." PERFECT! We will definitely come back.

Inside was clean. Porches could have been cleaner. Entry door and knob need work. Difficult to turn it. Parking space for Fox Den needs filling in. Do not recommend this property for 4 adults. Was difficult for older adults to climb up into loft for sleeping.

Great Location

Mary was incredibly flexible and so kind! I messaged her last minute to see if we could check in a day early because the bookings weren’t allowed within 48 hrs and she made it work within a few hours! My only complaints are totatally fixable are that the barb door for the bathroom kept on coming off of the track and trying to fall on me. And that the photos I think showed multiple units so I went in thinking the unit was gonna be a lot bigger than it was. My dad is 6’7” and disabled, so he struggled a bit to get into the Fox Den. I would maybe just maybe provide some clarification on the size of the space and the accessibility for handicap people.

Cozy House

This place was great. Location was wonderful being just walking distance from downtown. The hill back up to the place is a bit tough but definitely worth not having to find and pay for parking. I will say when we arrived it was 76 in our room and VERY humid. The remote to the a/c was not wanting to set the new temp for us so we had to find a manager. He was such a big help. He was able to get new batteries in the remote and fix it for us. Another issue was the refrigerator and freezer was not cold and we were not able to use it the first day. Luckily we had a cooler and we did inform the owner and they were very kind with providing us with ice packs. The next morning we woke up and the fridge had started to work so that was a plus. Another thing I would mention is it is very small and was not completely ideal for our family do to us having an infant. Just keep in mind when booking this place that you have to climb a ladder for the loft and there is not much room. We did really enjoy the time we stayed otherwise.

Cute little property in quiet section of town

This little property had everything it advertised and is quite cute! It is very clean and cozy inside with several nice little touches like snacks, books, large wall-mounted moveable flat screen tv, & a lap blanket. The bed had a very comfortable memory mattress and soft comforter. We were surprised though by the 2nd bedroom loft. It was just big enough for children or maybe a teenager, but I would not recommend booking this site for more than 2 adults. The Fox Den that we stayed in is not the main house that is in some of the pictures, but the smaller building attached to the right side. There are 4 gravel parking spots so everyone has their own spot. The house is at the top of a rather tall hill very close to the main part of town. I didn’t walk it and chose to drive and park, but mostly because of the 95 degree days. It would be walkable for most people. Our host checked in with messages a couple times and offered to let us park there early and a couple hours after checking out, which was very nice of her. Would highly recommend if you don’t mind a small place.

Perfect location! Super cute cozy room. I had two teenagers with my husband and me, so it was a little snug. The bathroom door is a sliding barn door, so it doesn’t really give a lot of privacy. There isn’t a table or anything to put your bags, so we had stuff everywhere (esp with two teenagers) but overall it was a great stay! The sauna after a long day of walking was perfection! The deck and fire pit were another added bonus! We loved our stay.
