Reviews for this vacation cottage rental in Mountain Home, Arkansas
We were SO VERY impressed with this house! It was SPOTLESS. There is plenty of room, and the view of the horses was a nice touch to help us enjoy our weekend getaway! Everything was perfect. We will be sure to stay here again when we return!! I spent a lot of time searching places to stay in Mountain Home, and this by far exceeded my expectations. I wouldn't stay anywhere else.
This is one of the cleanest rentals we have ever had. Quiet, country setting within easy reach of Mountain Home, White River or Bull Shoals. Great for family get-togethers. Enough room to spread out and loved having laundry facilities right at our fingertips. Kitchen was large and perfect for cooking family meals. Two dining areas gave us enough room for everyone to eat. Just a perfect fit for our family. If we find ourselves back in the Mountain Home area, we will for sure stay at this vacation rental again. Owner are great people. Kind, helpful. Nothing bad to say about it. Don't hesitate...rent it and enjoy your vacation in comfort and style.
This place was clean and perfect for our family reunion. We had plenty of space for 6 adults, 3 children and a baby. We were able to cook and eat most of our meals using the cookware that was already there at the house. We loved the multiple common areas to visit, play games and watch tv. I visited about 7 other places in the area before booking this house. It was obvious that the other places took the pictures for the brochures in the 70's and 80's and have not updated the place since those pictures were taken. This was by far the best option of all of the places. There was no comparison. I can't stress enough how clean this place is.
This was our second visit to the Getaway, this time with our grown son & his family. This house is great for several as they had the downstairs & we were upstairs. Plenty of privacy, also lots of common areas to visit, watch a movie or play games. The home was as neat and clean as remembered. We enjoyed Church and nice restaurants in Mt.Home & took a day trip to springfield to Bass Pro. Lots to do and a lovely place to come back to and relax. We will be back. Thanks Ken & Marsha
The house is very clean and roomy, could not of ask for a better place to spend the holidays. The kitchen had everything that you could ask for. We had 2 family's everyone had there own space. But we were there together to make it a great thanksgiving. This great property for all seasons at a great price. Thanks you Rick
It was a great pleasure to enter a beautiful house after a long journey from Texas. Ken and Marsha were great and took good care of us. The house was very neat and clean with all the facilities required. Would recommend the place to everyone and will come back to stay again
I have to say that this was the cleanest, nicest place my family has stayed in the area. My family has been coming down to Bull Shoals lake and White River to fish and relax for 30 years. We are all neat freaks, therefore we always wonder how clean the place is going to be. With out a doubt I don't think you could find nicer! The home was big enough to spread out! The mornings drinking coffee on the deck watching the horses was great. Marsha and Ken came over to welcome us and make sure we had everything we needed. We would recommend staying here to everyone. Its a shame we couldn't have found it years ago. Guaruntee we will be back and enjoy it for many years to come! Thank you guys so much for the great memories and hospitality.
P.S. Thanks again Marsha for saving us from the hotel room we were going to reserve! Had so much room to "get away" after being piled in the 4 man Jon Boat all day!!!!! Great Time and can't wait to see you guys and the House again!!!
We love to retreat from busy city life to the relaxing beauty of the Ozarks. The Ozark Getaway is by far the most comfortable, spacious, imaculate, attractively decorated vacation rental we have found in this area. Lots of extra features and the owner's warm hospitality are the "icing on the cake." We plan to return often!
We had a great time and really appreciated being so close to Bull Shoals Lake. Everything is really close, the house is spotless, well stocked with every little thing you need, and so very roomy and comfortable. We plan on bringing more relatives next year. Think more than twice before you pass on this lovely retreat. Much, much better than a motel or campground.
We are three Co-workers that just needed a some down time. What a wonderful time! The house is exceptionally clean and well equiped. A great place to sit on the deck & vist, have a late night watching chic flicks or just unwind. Plenty close to lots of places to go out to eat or enjoy shopping or other activities if you can stand to leave this lovely home away from home. Marsha is attentive & friendly and never far away if needed, but not one to intrude.
Already planning to get back! Had a great time!
This is a great place to stay for a family vacation. Very clean, quaint decorations, and plenty of room. Great location in Arkansas to explore different attractions but sitting on the deck enjoying nature was the best. Thank you Marsha for the great vacation house.
Having family that lives in the Mountain Home area, staying here was great! The house was big enough for us to have a very nice family dinner. Everything was so serene and just peaceful. I highly recommned this place. Marsha was very helpful. The mornings and evenings on the deck were so peacful. Thanks for a relaxing vacation.
This was a great place for a family get-together. It was nicely furnished and very clean. The setting was so peaceful and beautiful. We would definitely consider returning for another family event in the future.
This little house is an incredible place to stay! Three of us girls needed to get away for a little break and it was everything we needed. The house is big and cozy and all we hoped it would be. The little surrounding towns were great as we were wanting to get away from the 'city' and enjoy quiet country. Arkansas is also a very pretty area and we'll definitely be back!
A great place to draw your family close and enjoy what is important in life. Surrounded by nature, animals and good folks, there's nothing like the Ozarks.
The Ozark getaway is a great place to get away to. There's plenty of things to do outdoors and the the bunk house is an inviting place to spend private time.
Enjoy
WOW, we just wanted a place to take our little guys for Thanksgiving. Ken and Marsha are wonderful caring people.
Thank you so much for your hospitality, the house is beautiful and very kid friendly. Again thank you for the basket of fruit for the kids, they loved it!
Some of my family members traveled here from Texas to attend my little girls wedding over the weekend. The weddng was at Bull Shoals State Park, which is just minutes away. It could not have been a more perfect location for them. The spacious house was absolutely beautiful with all the conveniences of home. They enjoyed their morning coffee everyday with a lovely veiw of the horses grazing next door. They were absoluteldy in awe of the scenery. Marsha was so kind and accommodating to them. Thank you again for making their trip extra special.
Where should I start? Marsha came by not long as my grandmother and I arrived. My parents arrived shortly after that in their RV. Marsha and Ken spent quite a bit of time calling around to campgrounds trying to help us locate a site for my parents RV. Marsha even went to a mobile home park to check it out for us!
The house is beautiful! There are all the amenities of home. I love the huge deck and patio. It is very peaceful sitting on the deck, looking at the horses, and listening to the sounds of the country.
The Citgo convenience/gas station is very close by and we were able to find last minute items there.
My sons went to play basketball not too far away. My mom, brother and his family went fishing on Thursday...mom caught 10 fish!
I took my grandson and granddaughter to the petting zoo, which was less than 2 miles from the house. We were able to pet a zebra, water buffalo, donkeys, horses, baby deer, and dogs. There is a bull there that has huge horns...each horn weighs 100 pounds! We didn't get to the riding stables until 1:00pm and they only have horseback riding in the morning because it was too hot for the horses. Grandkids enjoyed petting the horses.
Loved the house and the hospitality of Marsha and Ken!
Bring your change of clothes and your toothbrush, that's all you need. The Gibson's are the loveliest couple. They will go beyond the call of duty to meet your every need. This home is just beautiful. The pieceful view from all windows is great. Waking up every morning to natures great sounds was wonderful. My children truly enjoyed seeing the horses grazing in the pasture everyday. There is a full size deck on the second floor for grilling and outdoor dining that is just fantastic. It is centrally located for easy access to everything you can think of. The site seeing is spectacular. The views from the Dam's are beautiful. Let talk food!! The Mexican restaurant down the road and the Brick Oven Pizza place in town is great (located in the Walmart shopping center). If you love BBQ, you have to try two spots. The mobile cart down the road from the Gibson's and Angler's Restaurant (WOW! what great food and WOW what a view). Take my advise. Look no further. This is the most perfect vacation home to come stay at. Why stay at a hotel when you can stay in the comfort of a home. Trust me you won't regret it!!
P.S. Thanks Marsha for ALL of your help and for making small dreams come true!! The children ask that you please give a huge hug and kiss to Squa for them. If you ever need anything please don't hesitate to call. You have a huge fan club. We are your NO. 1 fans.
We researched many properties in the area before deciding on this one and we were very happy with our choice. The house is enormous, tastefully decorated, and pristinely clean. There are beautiful views from both floors of the Gibson's horse farm. There is an enormous deck on the second floor and and patio on the first floor for grilling, enjoying the view, and down time during your stay, and a great movie-watching set-up on the lower floor where our whole group of 7 watched movies together. This house was centrally located for everything we came to enjoy - fishing and canoeing the White River, boating on Bull Shoals lake, and hiking. The Gibsons are a lovely couple and work hard to make sure you are taken care of and have what you need. If you have young children, there is a large yard for them to run in and a crib and high-chair are available as well. We highly recommend this property and hope to return for another vacation there!
I was one of the Linderman gang also. I had a wonderful time. The place was beautiful. Marsha was very helpful. I plan on returning with my family in the future.
The Linderman Gang had a wonderful time staying at the Ozark Getaway. It was very attactive and restful. Marsha and Ken were very helpful and friendly. If we had a need they tried to fill it. The house was eveything that we had hoped for and more. Thanks for making our stay wonderful. We will be back at a later date.
I was one of the 13 visitors to stay at the Ozark Getaway. Marsha was very accommadating and wonderful to work with. The house felt like home. It was beautiful. The view was awesome. I would recommend this place to anyone. The owners were fantastic. Thanks for a great weekend.
The Getaway is great,peaceful,loved seeing the horses.Marcia you was very helpful in giving us places to go and shop,loved your book store,just didn't get to spend as much time in it as I wanted. lOVED IT.Thanks for making my birthday one I will always remember
Myself and 12 other ladies spend the week-end at the getaway and had a marvellous time. The place has a very quiet and peaceful setting for just a quiet restful get away but it also has so many things that you can do within just a few miles. We will return and have already discussed having a couples outting and I want to take my daughters and their families and spend a day on one of the lakes.
What a wonderful visit to the Ozarks! The scenery in the immediate area was beautiful. The "getaway" house provides all the comforts of home and convenient to many attractions.
Enjoyed my stay very much. Exceptionaly clean and comfortable.
Close to lots of things to do and a beautiful setting off deck.
