Home away from home

Feel at home in this one story house with 3 spacious bdrms & two baths. Enjoy the spa jet tub with robes included. Cook your meals in the full kitchen, do your laundry & watch a movie whether you're here for work or to visit family. A propane grill is available. Extra large parking area (double driveway to park side by side) for four trucks or trailer/boat, whatever you arrive with. A few blocks to the downtown area, Mercy Hospital is 2.5 miles, Tyson Foods 2.7 miles, Turkey Trail Bluegrass Festival 6 miles, Scott County Fairground 2.5 miles. Waldron is in the heart of Quachita National Forrest which is a million acre playground great for hiking, fishing, hunting. Great residential area, near Harps Grocery and downtown restaurants if working near. The 960 acre Lake Hinkle is 12 miles away for more outdoor fun.

The home had all that we needed and more - updated interior, soft beds, well stocked kitchen, front/back deck, and plenty of space to relax. The home has good outdoor lighting if you are coming and going after dark. Includes a paved drive and covered parking space, too. We hope to stay here again.

“Home away from home” - a fitting name

This property has all the conveniences of home. We especially appreciated the well stocked kitchen including complimentary coffee pods and tea bags. Everything was clean. The owner did a great job of communicating. The neighborhood was very quiet. The only improvements we might suggest is some new bed pillows (fluffier options) and dropping the price. Our overall experience was a five out of 5 stars.
