Excellent experience
It is remote in a great way. The trees are tall, it’s quiet and peaceful. The access to lake is close. Everything worked in the house. It’s a charming and unique building. Works great for a group. Beds were great. Showers and bathrooms were excellent. The owner communicated and easy to get a hold of. It was a short drive into hotsprings and enjoyed the Quapaw bath house. We would use the house again.

Great group location
Nice location, very private. Lovely linens and plenty of nice towels. We all enjoyed a lot but two comments should be addressed. There were only 6 coffee mugs so if you advertise for large groups there is not an adequate supply. Also glasses and wine glasses are not adequate. There is no counter prep space. Especially for a group. We found the folding table outside, scrubbed it and brought it in to use for prep and buffet table. Other than those items it's lovely. Thank you.

Absolutely amazing stay in Mt Ida
The hosts were communicative and ensured we had a smooth check in. The property was absolutely magical. It was perfect for our large group with plenty of spaces to sleep. Showers were nice and there was plenty of hot water to go around. It was very clean. The property was incredible. Even better than we expected. Short walk to the lake. Lots of outdoor patio space to hang out. I wish we could have stayed longer and cant wait to go back!

Amazing!
Unique cabin on Ouachita with easy foot access to boat! Party barge easy to pull in by water even with low lake water level. Everything you need is already at the cabin, enjoyed the huge charcoal grill and fire pit! One morning we sat under the covered patio and listened to the rain fall through the old growth, tall tree canopy above. Plenty of parking for everyone and trailers! Definitely would stay here again! Everyone loved it!

Cozy
We held our family reunion here. The owners were extremely helpful and accommodating. There were only two things we didn’t like. #1 No wifi and poor cell phone coverage. #2 if you sleep in the bottom master bedroom there is no bedroom door—therefore no privacy and no way to shut out noise. Plus you have to walk through another bedroom to access the bathroom. A bit awkward in the middle of the night. Impossible to sleep or nap if others are awake.

The property was in a nice, quiet location. All of my grands had a great time. The 3 little ones were able to play on the patio in a blow up kiddie pool we brought. There was plenty of room to accommodate all of us with room leftover! Would stay every weekend if it were possible!

Great place!!
Rustic cabin in the woods. This is perfect for the outdoorsy people! They have so much to do and having lake access is a huge plus! We had a little rain and having the movies and board games was a big help keeping everyone occupied. The owners give you a ton of information about the places nearby. They have thought of everything. One bit of advice they should add to the listing: if you have a bigger vehicle or are pulling a boat or trailer, use the 2nd entrance onto the final road. That gives you a straight shot into the driveway instead of a very hard turn.

Owners were extremely accommodating
Met family here for a central location where we could get together without being in public areas due to our mother being an elderly cancer patient. LOTS of room, more beds than we needed but it’s nice to see a place that’s so family/ larger gathering friendly. Great location too with a pretty, quiet and short stroll down to the lake. It is a quirky house with lots of odd little surprises areas and odd layout. Younger kids will LOVE it.

Amazingly beautiful
This house is nestled in the first just feet from the lake. It's far enough from the highway to be quiet and close enough to be convenient. Inside and outdoor spaces to eat and commune. Absolutely prefect for us. Can't recommend enough. We even got to meet Toni in town at Hot Springs. She was very responsive and accommodating.

Amazing property & Amazing hosts
We recently stayed at this VRBO property and I have to say, I was thoroughly impressed! The location was absolutely amazing - it was convenient to all of the activities we had planned for our group. With plenty of space to sleep 16 people comfortably, it was the perfect rental for our large group. One of the best parts of the home was all of the outdoor activities available for the kids - they had a blast! From kayaking to exploring the surrounding forest and hunting quartz, there was never a dull moment for them. But what really made our stay special was the incredible hosts. They went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and were always available to answer any questions we had. I've rented vacation homes for years and I can honestly say that their communication was the best I've ever experienced. Overall, I would highly recommend the Gnome Home rental to anyone looking for a comfortable and fun-filled vacation. Thanks again to the hosts for making our stay so memorable

Love this cabin!
Every year we have a girls trip. This cabin was beyond what we expected. Very roomy, clean. The host responded very quickly to my questions. Even though it rained the whole weekend we still had a great time. The only problem that was annoying ( not the hosts fault) was the acorns falling. We heard it day and night very load on the medal roof and cars! We walked to the cove. We saw an eagle. First night wasn’t raining so we had a fire they provided the firewood. While sitting around the fire a salamander came to visit us, that was cool!! We would definitely come back to this beautiful cabin. Thank you Toni and Berry for letting us stay at your cabin! ☺️

The property is amazing and huge. You cant beat the sceanery at this place exspeically the lake views. Everyone who was staying with us couldnt stop talking about how beautiful it was. The house was big enough to meet all our needs and more. Everything was perfect that we didnt need to bother the host for anything. We were happy from the start of our arrival to the end. Everyone was sad we had to leave the place. Will be coming back to enjoy this property again. Gnome house was/is magical. Thank you Toni and Barry!
