Vacation rentals with a kayak in Polk County

We had part of our family coming from Houston TX, some from NE AR and some from Arlington TN. It was a great halfway point for our TX relatives. We could not have asked for a better place to have this first of many, as we decided this would be an annual trip for us. We had ages from 73 to 5 years old, and EVERYONE had everything they possibly needed and plenty of options for entertaining every age. I really don't even have enough words to express how great this was for our family. Rosalie, even though she was fighting her own battle, made sure we were well taken care of and went above & beyond. I have read some reviews about the water, we are all originally from AR so we know how country water on a septic system is, there is always that sulfur smell in those systems and does not mean anything is wrong with the water. We are frequent Airbnb travelers so I always try to look for ways to improve,butI cannot even come up with a single negative point to bring up, it was completely AMAZING!!

Wow, if there is a perfect Airbnb host it’s Judith. Her place has amazing and breathtaking views. It is SO peaceful and relaxing. You can be as active as you want to be. Some of our family wanted to fish and hike and others want to just enjoy the view. We could do both. We enjoyed going into town and playing pickleball and going to Ouachita coffee. Thank you Judith for all the wonderful small touches you have included in your place. She really has thought of everything. You will not regret staying with Judith.

Tina is a great host! Such a beautiful place to stay very peaceful. Loved the house we stayed in & seeing all the deer & kids enjoyed fishing in the ponds & they loved the hound dog that visited them.. If you’re looking for a place to stay in Mena then the galloping rooster ranch is hands down the best place to stay I’d give it 100 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars if possible we will defiantly be back! Thank you again for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home & land!

What a lovely little gem. We were totally surprised by the beauty of our surroundings, and the cleanliness of the home. We were lucky enough to be there during the most perfect weather and got to meet lots of other families vacationing in the area. We will definitely be back and I’ve already shared the spot with friends and family so that they can enjoy this little treasure. I’m so glad that we found this place. It made the trip to go see the eclipse extra special! The lake was the perfect place to take our kids to go do a little fishing and kayaking. Completely satisfied and happy with our experience!

Misti was a great host. Accommodating in every way possible. Wonderful place with a wonderful mission.
