Wolfpen gap

It was a perfect location for hitting the wolfpen gap trails. One of the trucks we had was pulling a 40ft trailer and had room to turn around. Very nice place. Was way to hot to use the firepit or hot tub, but we hope to return when it's colder. And when the six of us got ready we all had hot water for shower, which was amazing.

A Great Weekend Getaway in Mena

We had a great stay at the Back Roads Barn. From the game room Foosball Tournament to the hot tub and the fire pit, this place had exactly what we needed. And Mark and Alicia qualify as true Super Hosts - maybe the best VRBO hosts we've ever had!

New Years

Outstanding place with many amenities, comfort and cleanliness. A great stocked kitchen downstairs, made it great for the adults to prepare meals while the kids played in the game room and hot tub. The quick access to the trails and large parking lot made this the ultimate place to stay.

CMA Rally

Great place to stay with separate bedrooms and bathrooms; much better than just staying in a hotel room. Great kitchen, good for cooking a meal or two so you don't have to eat out all the time. Plenty of parking for vehicles, trailers, and motorcycles. Close proximity to Iron Mountain. Excellent communication with hosts.
