Cozy Cottage on Mountain Hills, Firepit &Bbq grill

GarrettRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We stayed here with our 5 kids for a long weekend. We ended up being snowed in and had the best time. It is very secluded and serene. Jim (the cleaner/maintenance man) honestly took the experience from a 5 star to a 10 star. He played snowball fights with our kids, checked on us when he knew we wouldn’t be able to leave with all the snow to make sure we had enough food, and spent 5+ hours digging through ice and snow with me to help me and another vehicle be able to leave when we were stuck. He feels like an extra grandpa now! He even called in some kind neighbors who towed us up the hill. The cabin had everything we needed for our large family. Make sure to let Rich know ahead of time if you need extra linens for the fold out beds in the loft. We would absolutely stay here again. Thanks for the great vacation!

Misty Mountain Cabin: Scenic Escape, Caddo River

CraigRating, 5 stars1 month ago
If you are seeking a place for complete privacy, this is it. We have stayed in many cabins in Broken Bow, and I often dislike how close they are to each other. Plus, pricing in the area has become unreasonable. Finding this cabin was exactly what we needed. It was clean, modern, and perfect for us. We wanted to get away and be alone, and this cabin delivered. We especially enjoyed sitting on the porch, watching the sunset with a beautiful mountain view. The bathroom was spotless and well-stocked, while the kitchen had nearly everything you could need. Some reviews mention the road leading to the cabin, but we had no issues. Even after rain, the drive was manageable—just take it slow. If you are looking for a true cabin-in-the-woods experience, this place will not disappoint.

Mountain View Cabin with Hot Tub

JoshuaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Beautiful views and very nice porch to enjoy them on. Bring your own chairs though if you want something comfortable. For the price, this is a spectacular deal. Lots of walking trails, ATV trails, deer, and other wildlife. it's about 20 minutes to town, which we loved. The WiFi has limitations. You're better off just using your phone as a hotspot. These are just small things though, overall, we had a wonderful time.

Les farms getaway Eagle cabin

AlliRating, 5 stars6 months ago
Melanie accommodated our last minute booking and was very easy to communicate with. We enjoyed our short stay, especially fishing in the ponds and the peace and quiet. Once we knew to look for the welcome sign with the eagle and the windmill we had no trouble finding the driveway. My kids loved the toys. I would recommend Melanie’s home!

Secluded 3-Bedroom Home with Spacious Backyard

KenRating, 5 stars2 months ago
This is a great option for staying around Mena. We didn't need the 2 car garage, but if you do-it's a great feature! Location is pretty secluded in a neighborhood, yet close to town. High speed internet was helpful, the TVs & included streaming services were very handy after a long day out. Our family of 5 fit just fine, but you could fit several more in a pinch. Host was very responsive & helpful throughout, thank you to Brian for your assistance!

The Glass House Retreat

KaraRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We enjoyed our stay very much! When you walk in, you instantly feel at home with cozy seating, music playing, and fresh baked cookies on the counter. The view was amazing! My daughter and I sat at the table in the morning and did our make-up while enjoying that view. The bed was comfy, and if you forgot something, they most likely have what you need at the house. We met the owners Roland and Becky and they were wonderful! We also got a visit from Reeses and Gunner (their dogs) and that just made our stay so much better!! You can’t go wrong staying here!

Dutton Ranch Bunkhouse

KennethRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Rented this for my daughter, this is her feedback. If we could give 10 stars we would! This bunkhouse is beautiful inside and makes you feel right at home. The peaceful back deck with the view of the pond was our favorite part. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay to celebrate our marriage. Will 100% recommend to all our friends and family and look forward to staying again! Zack and Ashlee Gregory

Large Family Home Close to ATV Trails and CMA

RachelRating, 5 stars3 months ago
This was our second trip to the area and while you can ride to the Wolf Pen Gap trail system, the 18 miles of super dusty road was rough due to no rain in the area for some time. This year, we did it once, and then trailered to the West Trail head the rest of the time. It was a short, 30 min drive to trailer there. Overall, the house was great. Beds were adequate. A/C and hot water worked really well. The internet was super slow, so we couldn’t actually watch the television. Overall, I would stay here again. The 5 bedrooms and 3 baths were definitely a bargain.

Your guide to Mena

Welcome to Mena

Surrounded by the oak-covered slopes of Ouachita National Forest, Mena is the perfect basecamp for exploring Arkansas’ great outdoors. There’s a myriad of ways to enjoy this open-air playground. West of town, Rich Mountain is the state’s second-highest peak, with jaw-dropping panoramic views. For the adventurous, there are raging whitewaters to navigate by kayak in Cossatot River State Park, or more peaceful trips can be taken down the Ouachita River. Founded in 1896 as a railroad township and then a timber and agriculture hub, Mena also has plenty of history and culture to explore. The main street is lined with saloon-style awnings, and the restored Mena Depot Center now houses a town museum and information center. The Ouachita Little Theatre, based in an original 1920s building, puts on a variety of live performances throughout the year.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Mena

While Mena attracts visitors during all four seasons, the best time to visit is from March to May and from September to November, when the weather is ideal for a breadth of outdoor activities. Spring has arrived when Mena’s iconic Bradford Pear trees burst into pale pink blossoms and purple tulips sprout in the local gardens. Spring is the season when Arkansas’ wildlife comes out to play — don’t be surprised to spot deer, fox, coyote, and bear on your hike. This outdoorsy town is also known for its scenic beauty during autumn, best observed from the many local lookout points or scenic byways.


Top things to do in Mena

Queen Wilhelmina State Park

Queen Wilhelmina State Park offers a blend of wildlife, nature, and history spread across 460 acres in the Ouachita Mountains. The Lovers’ Leap Trail leads hikers on a brief but intimate 1.3-mile wooded loop trail marked by stone pathways and wooden bridges and culminating at a platform overlooking the slopes and valleys. The rest of the park offers campsites, picnic areas, trails, and an old fire tower at the peak of Rich Mountain.

Talimena Scenic Byway

This scenic stretch of blacktop is a convenient way to cover plenty of western Arkansas’ and eastern Oklahoma’s beautiful terrain without expending too much effort. The gorgeous 54-mile route offers opportunities for outdoor activities such as lodging, picnicking, hiking, and camping. During autumn, bronze-tinged slopes and red valleys make for picture-perfect stops along the side of the road.

Mena Kansas City-Southern Depot

Go back in time to Mena’s golden days at the Mena Kansas City-Southern Depot, a restored 1920s brick train depot that signals the town’s founding as a railway stop. Now the depot serves as an informative time capsule, with historic memorabilia and artifacts like old cars and artwork.
