About this property

Quiet, Private, 2 acres to enjoy and still close to everywhere you want to go.

Thank you for visiting my 'home away' offering. My little farmhouse is near Elkins but only 20 minutes from razorback Stadium and downtown Fayetteville. You can have the best of two worlds, enjoy the fresh air and country atmosphere but you can enjoy city life as well. I can't put all the things you want to know here but I will try to outline a number of things I feel you do want to know when planning your travels. For example, Ride this train excursion thru the Ozark and Boston Mountains on the Arkansas/Missouri Railroad.\ or drive over to the flying Q farm (about 10 minutes) and go for a great trail ride. Call Susan. Add War Eagle Fair and Mill and Caverns to your list of things to do. If your coming to U of A events it is about 20 minutes away. A must see is Chrystal Bridges Museum of American Art (about 45 minutes away). It is a visit you will not forget.
We have BABY SITTING service available (by appointment only)The phone number and information is contained in your visitors packet that you will find upon arrival.
This farmhouse has kept much of its early 1800's charm but has been updated to suit the needs of today's travelers. It has two bedrooms the Master bedroom has a queen size bed and its own bath. The laundry room is accessed from the bath. The second bedroom has an antique full size iron bed (been in the family for four generations). The second bath has a footed tub to soak your cares away. Once you're done soaking mabe you would like to watch TV or a movie. The living room has a TV with a built in DVD player we have left a few movies for your enjoyment or watch satellite provided by dish network. We also have Free Wi-Fi for you.
You will find upstairs located above the Master bedroom a lounge with TV. satellite, a game table, radio and mini-refrigerator. This also serves as a bedroom with two daybeds.
Outside you will find a deck off the kitchen for outside dinning or just some peace and quite. This is also where you will find a swimming pool and a hot tub perfect for six or eight if you are friendly. The backyard also offers a BBQ grill (charcoal), and fire pit. Lots of room in the back to enjoy nature. This home sits on 2.25 acres. Great for outdoor activities .. A very nice church is next to us on the East side and two very nice homes on the west side.

Full of charm

This property was perfect for our family of 5. I was comfortable, cozy and clean. We were visiting our son (U of A) and attended a football game. It was a short drive but very easy and convenient. We would definitely book again.

Stunning historic home

This is a beautifully decorated piece of history- from the old time phone on the wall, the old radio in working condition and the beautiful victorian furniture, it felt like stepping back in time. We could picture the people of previous generations enjoying this home. That being said the amenities and cleanliness/ upkeep are very modern and the air worked well, the pantry was stocked with staples and the outdoor area is well-maintained. Communication and check in/ out was super easy! This home is truly a treasure:)

This place exudes History. Just amazing.

The property is vintage 1830's with the modern twist of satellite, pool, hot tub. The host was very accommodating and thoughtful. The little touches that you would find at home, trash placement, jars of snacks, etc were all there. Just outside of town, it was peaceful and relaxing.

Step Back into the Past and Relax

The house and large property lot were very clean. Information about the Historical property was compiled in two three-ring binders. One showed the history of the property which was very interesting, and the other offered places to go and things to do. All were very much appreciated. We stay in VRBO's here and there and this is the only one that was this accommodating, meaning there were paper towels and toilet paper supplied, some cooking spices and cooking oil. Maybe just left over from other guests, I am unsure but it's the little things that you forget sometimes that keep you from having to run to the store. You normally don't have any of these things supplied especially toilet paper and paper towels. We were so supprised there were so many items representing the late 18th century past. You just have to experience to appreciate it. It was a very pleasant experience overall.

Clean and quiet

We have stayed at this property since 2013. It was great then and continues to improve. The cleanliness for an older renovated farmhouse is unmatched. Country living at its finest. Close enough to go to Elkins or to Fayetteville for whatever you want to do with a short commute back. I would recommend this house to anyone I know. Thank you Patricia for being a great host!

About the host

Hosted by Patricia

Host profile image
I am a military brat that was born in Okinawa. I grew up in Fayetteville and went to school here as well. I lived in Houston and worked in construction and real estate but I just had to come 'home' to the beautiful Ozarks and Fayetteville. I have two beautiful kids and live near by..

Why they chose this property

This house Is very old and it was about to be sold to a developer that wanted to destroy the old log home. I simply could not let that happen so I purchase it and renovated it to a point. I have provided a book at the property for visitors to peruse if they wish. It has a long history to tell.

What makes this property unique

Save history AND the property. It is wonderful to sit on the back deck and smell the fresh air, and watch the birds and have a yard large enough to enjoy. It is close to all activities in the area but not to close. Those of you that like to travel with you dog or cat bring them on. The big backyard is a perfect spot for them to get a little 'playtime' in, We have bags in the house to put your 'pooper Scooper' stuff in. The evenings are quiet and the air is fresh and you just have to sit back on the deck or by the fire pit and take a deep breath...you are now officially in heaven...OK, maybe a little over stated but good land, I feel that way.
