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 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.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker, and housekeeping is provided on a limited basis.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like onsite parking.

Relaxing and peaceful
We really enjoyed this property. The owners were gracious hosts who provided a wonderful atmosphere. They have well-stocked kitchen and baths with some extras in case you forgot them. If you need something else, there's a Walmart in town. The deck was so nice to sit by and listen to the water and fish off of. Everything was welcoming for our dog, too. She loved the winding paths and enormous greenspace to explore!

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

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.

Property is well kept and Roland and Becky are great! The river/creek was nearly dry due to drought, so we weren’t able to fish from the deck ☹️. Otherwise everything was great! Nice & peaceful. Trees had good color. We will be back!

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

If you are looking for a place where you can relax, be secluded and have all the amenities, this is this is place! My husband and I went to just get away and it was beyond our expectations. 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,

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❤️

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!
