Beautiful sunsets, Romantic, Secluded, Fish from the deck. Lots of wildlife.

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.

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.

Very peaceful and beautiful place in a wonderful location. We absolutely loved the moss walkways into the garden areas, the large wrap around deck as well as the beautiful home wrapped with large picture windows!! The hosts were amazing and thought of everything and even had fresh baked cookies she made for us upon our arrival. We highly recommend this rental as it is one of the best in our book!!

The house was located on a beautiful river with amazing views. Roland and Becky were so gracious and thoughtful. We loved having their friendly pups wander and greet us every morning. This is probably one of the top rentals I have had over the years.

The owners, Roland and Becky, made this property 100% better than perfect! Wonderful hosts, professional, friendly, kind! The property is secure, well decorated and located right by the river. Quiet, but close enough to town amenities! Cookies and welcome/congratulatory anniversary tidings were well received! Will definitely stay again! Thank you!

Peaceful. Pretty. Perfect!

The Glass House Retreat has it all, from the fishing and whimsical garden paths to the wonderful deck and well stocked kitchen. My husband and I so enjoyed our stay. Roland and Becky were great hosts and we loved having their two black labs visit us each day. The property is well maintained, the house is very neat and very clean with nice seasonal decorations to add a homey feel. The home-baked cookies and fresh flowers were a nice surprise. We are planning our next trip to this great getaway and can’t wait to go back.

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.

Fabulous

It’s a piece of heaven on earth. It is everything on the description and more. They left us a happy anniversary note, fabulous cookies and candy, they decorated in the Christmas spirit and had Christmas lights and Christmas music playing when we arrived. The grounds are meticulously detailed. I can’t wait to come back in the spring when everything and I mean everything is in bloom Roland and Becky greeted us shortly after arrival. They have paid attention to every detail down to the dog bed and extra leash The river was absolutely beautiful and running. The deck is an awesome place to sit and listen to the cares of the world rush away with Water running downstream. It’s a must

Absolutely Breathtaking

From the very beginning we were excited, but I promise the pictures do not do this slice of paradise justice. The entire property is meticulously maintained and an absolute labor of love for Becky, we were blown away everyday with the little touches that makes the glass house retreat its own destination. The house is tastefully put together and gives you an instant “at home” feeling as soon as you walk in. The owners are very intentional about making your stay as peaceful and serene as possible. If you’re even considering a trip to the central Arkansas area do yourself a favor and book it now… Y’all stay Blessed and we’ll see ya soon! The McGrath FamBam!

Excellent stay. Becky went above and beyond with welcome cookies. They left worms for fishing, and poles, and just a bunch of wonderful things which you don't think of until you don't have them. We had a family gathering for 5 days, and we all enjoyed it thoroughly. Very relaxing property.

1st, there is a trick for the host to know how much interaction to have with guest…they were PERFECT. 2nd: the location was PERFECT. We wanted to be secluded, away from the daily grind. Even w the hostess on backside of property, we couldn’t see it from living room or porch. 3rd: you you can fish from the porch. 4th: come prepared to tube the Iron Fork River. Walk upstream about 50/60 yard and enjoy a relaxing 10-12 min float. We did it about 15 times. Can’t say enough about how excellent the accommodations were for 4 adults, 1 child (13yo) and 2 dogs. Everything was…PERFECT!

Peaceful easy feelin'

We truly enjoyed our stay , and the owners were great....so were the four legged greeters! I loved the fact you could fish from the deck too! The grounds remind me of what a fairy garden would be like. So much love has been put into the grounds and the cabin was so cozy...the only thing I have as a negative is the pergola with the nice seating area was gone....bummer...I would recommend this out of the way place for sure...so quiet and peaceful...like a big hug. Thanks Becky and Roland for sharing!!
