We loved our stay at the white cottage!! Michael was great & the house was easy to access. The house was decorated so cute for Christmas & overall decor is perfect - exactly what you see in the pictures! Beds are comfy, great linens, and it had everything we needed to cook & eat at the house our entire stay. It was cold when we went so we weren't able to enjoy the porches as much as we would have liked but I would have loved to spend more time there - it was so inviting! Will definitely be back if we're ever around Mena again.

Looking for a space to spend with family as we were during the Christmas holidays that was unique, warm and charming? Well we found it and oh! How the accommodations were exactly as described. Every other year we come together as family at special place for Christmas-the White Farmhouse was just that- Christmas!

Our stay was very relaxing. The owners make it easy to find the property. The cottage is very nice with all the simple touches you'd want or expect. The scenery is superb, especially the fall colors we got to enjoy. We will definitely be back.

Stonehill Cottages are the perfect getaway location. From the moment you arrive, you will notice the tranquility and beauty of the location punctuated by the homey, "welcome home" atmosphere of the tasteful and cozy decor. Everything we needed for our stay was included - nothing felt as if saving money was the major factor in selections. All of the arrangements were handled by email for our reservations and there seemed to be a genuine effort on the owners part to give us our space and privacy but I know they would respond immediately to any need had one arisen. However, we were fortunate enough to cross paths with them on the property one evening and had a very pleasant chat about their property and the local area. We will definitely return.

The White House was as beautiful and cozy as it appears in the website pictures. A wonderful little gem for a vacation rental that we look forward to coming back to again next year.

We stayed in the White Farmhouse Cottage for several nights and it was just perfect. The house had everything we needed, was designed and decorated to perfection, and was very clean and comfortable. We had a last minute change of plans in our party and the owner was extremely accommodating and nice which we greatly appreciated. In my opinion, these cottages would be perfect for so many things - a weekend getaway, a family reunion, possibly even a wedding venue... :) We hope to return again in the future!!!

The weekend getaway with friends was great! The cottage was absolutely beautiful. Chip and Joanna Gaines of Fixer Upper would be proud! Great location for ATV riding....so close to riding trails and rivers. We will definitely be back. Thanks for sharing your beautiful cottage.

This was probably the nicest place my husband and I have ever stayed. It was exceptionally clean, which is huge to us. They definitely spared no expense on these cottages. Everything was very high quality...granite counter tops, high quality beds and linens, etc. The cottage is modern, but cozy at the same time. The view was beautiful and everything was so tranquil and quiet. We dealt with Michael, one of the owners, and he was so incredibly nice and personable. They really care about their tenants and want you to have a great experience. We were very impressed with everything and will be back again!

My husband and I recently stayed in the White Farmhouse Cottage. From the moment we received our confirmation to the day of our departure, we were blessed with the most accommodating experience we have ever had. To say the owners go above and beyond in ensuring you have a pleasant stay is an understatement. Communication was top-notch. The property was amazing and the home was a place we would return to time and time again. It truly was a home away from home---if not better! Our goal for our trip was relaxation. Relaxation we got! We could have sat for hours on the wrap-around porch soaking in the view. The interior of the home was beautifully decorated and exceptionally clean. The beds were amazingly soft and comfortable. The linens were luxurious. Even before we left, we were telling our friends and family about Stonehill Cottages and planning our next stay. When we ventured out, we didn't fight crowds. We visited Queen Wilhelmina State Park and almost had the roadway to ourselves. Cossatot River State Park was another worthwhile trip. We hope to bring our family next time! I can't end my review without recommending an absolute must on a trip to Mena: Stache's Cookery. Yum! You won't be disappointed! Our stay at Stonehill Cottages was everything we hoped it would be and more. We were even blessed with the opportunity to stay an extra day! Thank you, Michael and Jessica! We hope to see you again soon!

Amazing! The cottage was better than expected it! It was cozy, and very comfortable. It didn't took anytime at all to feel "home away from home". It's a great family getaway, awesome view and very tranquil. Safety is a concern every were we go buy this was secluded and felt safe. Plan to go back and we highly recommended.

Owner Response

Thank you again for coming to stay with us. We are very glad that your experience was everything you hoped it would be. Michael & Jessica

We stayed in the white house cottage! Beautiful, well equipped, peaceful, and amazing. Michael went the extra mile in every way to make sure our stay would be better than we could imagine. He did that! Even the smallest of problems were dealt with professionally and quickly! You must stay here!

Owner Response

Thank you, come back soon ! :) M&J

We had a wonderful time staying at the White House cottage. It is a quaint cottage with the comfortable feeling of home. We visited the local antique shops. There is also a lot of outside fun in the area. We hiked Earthquake ridge & enjoyed the cold waters of the Cossotot River. This was a great getaway & we wil stay here again. Highly recommend.

Owner Response

Thanks so much for the kind review :) M&J

We stayed at the White Farmhouse in February for our anniversary. It was stunning and the best place we have ever stayed for a romantic getaway. It is even more beautiful than the pictures. And the property is just gorgeous. We even saw deer right in the backyard!!! I wish we had known about this place for our honeymoon! We will be coming back every year!

Owner Response

:)

Such a lovely cottage! Wish we could have stayed longer. We will definitely be staying again! Michael, the owner, was very helpful. He suggested some great places to eat and they gave wonderful directions. Highly recommended!!!

Owner Response

Thanks Jeannie!

We took our family here for a weekend away from the city. We loved it, the kids loved it. The cottage was clean and very spacious, the wifi in the cottages was fast, and we actually saw some deer sneaking around in the back yard. Five stars!!!

Owner Response

Thank you Lessie!

The pictures do not do this place justice! It was so sweet and cozy. By far better than any other place to stay in Arkansas!

Owner Response

Thank you ! :)

Beautiful, relaxing cottages!!! Very unique!! Unlike any other!! Out in the mountains yet close to town with all modern amenities such as wifi!

Owner Response

Thank you!

This place was great! It was so relaxing. We will definitely be visiting again soon 😊.

Owner Response

Thank you, hope you can make it back soon !

We had a great time! Very nice property/cabins! Its a very easy and scenic ride on your atv or side by side to the south trail head and not far from town either. We enjoyed a day on the trails and very romantic evening at the cabin afterwords. We will definitely be back!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Stonehill Cottages "The White House." Everything was new, clean and in working order! The inside of the cottage is beautifully decorated with top notch bedding and linens and the outside has loads of yard space for the kids to run around and play while mom and dad enjoy a cup of coffee and the mountain views from the back deck! The cottage is about 10 minutes from downtown Mena where we enjoyed two reasonably priced dinners out. Our activities included a morning drive up to "Queen Wihemena Mountain" where we hiked about and ate lunch at the lodge which is located there as well as taking an afternoon drive and walk about "Little Missouri Falls." Mena also has several cute antique stores if that is your thing. FYI, Mena is in a dry county so plan accordingly. The owners were super prompt in responding to my initial and subsequent emails/texts and I would definitely recommend this property to my friends and family if ever in the area.

Very nice choice over a hotel room....wow, luxury cabins / cottages for sure! Owners spared no expense on these cabins. Came to Mena for a family gathering and the will never choose a hotel room when coming to Mena EVVVER again........from now on, it is STONEHILL COTTAGES!

What a beautifully decorated getaway! All the furniture was soooo comfortable! They have thought of everything to make u cozy. The bed was AMAZING! Loved the fireplace! You can't help but to relax in this cottage! We can't wait to stay again!

The White House is a lovely cabin with very comfortable furnishings. We enjoyed the scenic view of the mountain on the surrounding porch. Kitchen is equipped well. Paved parking was great.

Owner Response

Thank you!

We had a family wedding in Mena and part of the family stayed at the White House. It was truly delightful. Michael and Jessica are amazing to work with! We have family moving to the area and they are planning to stay here during the transition - that is how comfortable and like home this is!! It will be a wonderful destination for a quiet get away. The scenery is beautiful and each cottage is appointed luxuriously. Bedding and towels are better than home! Loved having coffee on the wrap around porch. Thank you for making our wedding weekend even more beautiful!

Owner Response

Thank you :)

The White House was the most quaint, serene and tranquil vacation home built for comfort and peace. From the instant fire in the fireplace and high-end linens to the farmhouse sink and stainless kitchen appliances. We could easily live in this 2-bedroom dream home.

Owner Response

:) Thank you!!

Simply lovely..... the cottage has a magical feel. There are no words. You just have to experience it. In years past when we have traveled to Mena, we have stayed in hotels........ wow.... what a departure from the norm... splitting the cost between four occupants made the cost very comparable! Don't skip this ! You must stay at Stonehill Cottages !!

The White House was the perfect location for our family to spend time together and enjoy Thanksgiving! We were able to watch football on the nice flat screen TV's, enjoy a fire in the fireplace and cook a great meal in the awesome farmhouse kitchen. In addition we enjoyed walks in the national forest right outside the back door and playing the bag toss game on the porch when the rain started. Michael and Melissa have created the perfect place to enjoy the Ouachita Mountains and all it has to offer.

Owner Response

Thank you thank you thank you! Hope you make it back next year :)

This was a beautiful place to stay. The setting in the trees you could not find anywhere else. The house was decorated to the finest and the wrap around porch was great. It is a place you would be happy with all year round.The owners were so nice and easy to work with. Can not say enough.We will be back for sure.

Owner Response

Thank you !

These little house are the perfect getaway spots. We loved our stay. The houses and all the furnishings are first class. The bedding and bed was wonderful. Each room has a king-size bed!! The surrounding areas was quiet and just beautiful. We were so please we found this place and we will be back soon. The perfect location for all kinds of fun. As the man in the fabulous Depot Museum said, "It's eighty miles from everything". Can't say enough good thing about the place. It is perfect.

Owner Response

Thank you so much! Come back and visit again!!

We can't say enough good things about our trip to Mena. We're from Austin and had never been to Arkansas before. We came for a long fall weekend to see fall color and enjoy the mountains. It was exactly what we'd hoped for. The cottage was perfect for our family of 4. We want to come back with extended family and rent all 3 cottages. The decor is perfect and comfortable.We loved the porches and rocking chairs. So many trees and the views are beautiful. It was hard to leave.Our kids are 3 1/2 & 6, and we were a little worried about the stairs to their bedroom, but the stairs were completely lit at night and safe. We brought the kids' bikes and they rode around the long paved driveways. The owners were friendly and helpful when booking, and since we had everything we needed while there, we never had to contact them during our stay. Here's what we did in Mena: *Drive the Talimena scenic byway up to Queen Wilhelmina State Park. Pretty drive with lots of vistas. The park was great to spend a couple hours. There's a lodge with a small restaurant. We did the Lovers Leap hiking trail (1 mile loop) and then did the Miniature train with the kids. The train opens at 10am even on Sunday. There's also a huge black steam engine that you can get on for photos. *Rent an ATV! It was awesome! We rented a 4 seater Polaris from Hawk's Overlook. The owner, Kevin was super friendly and accommodating. He gave us a map and showed us all the trails to take. He also let us use an air hose to blow off dust after our day. We packed a picnic and spent 7 hours out in the Wolf Pen gap trail area in the middle of the national forest. We visited Little Missouri Falls and picnicked there. There are places to swim if you bring swimsuits and Keens. It was our first ATV experience: we brought bike helmets for the kids and sunglasses. Wish we'd had bandanas for our faces-maybe even ski goggles/dust masks if you have them. Bring water and towels/wipes to clean off. We've never been so dirty. *We cooked all our meals except one breakfast and dinner. We ate a nice, smalltown Southern/steak dinner at The Branding Iron--good margaritas. We ate breakfast at Skyline Cafe--your normal diner fare, inexpensive and friendly staff. The grocery store in Mena had the basics and a nice lunchmeat counter with Boar's Head meats. *There looked to be a couple cute antique/art shops in Mena, but we didn't go into any of them. Seven hours from Austin for a real taste of Fall?...We'll be back next year!

Thank you for taking your precious time to leave such a thorough review. We dearly appreciate it :) Michael & Jessica :)

We loved our stay at The White House (Stonehill Cottages). The cottage had everything we needed. I really didn't expect the views to be as pretty as the website, but they were even better. Mornings we went to the front porch and enjoyed the rocker, then the evening, we set out on the deck every and watched the sun go down. Gorgeous peaceful setting. The trails were about a 7-15 minute drive, depending which route you took and going to town was about the same. Hiking, UTV's (Wolf Pen Gap) and even Bikers (Tallamena Run and other county roads) will have fun here. We have our UTV friends and our Biker friends, so we will be back. Oh and love, love, love the decor. So cute. I know the guys will not care about this, but that's what pulled me to your website. Our husbands were looking at rustic cabins (very rustic), but they came around to our thinking. After arriving they agreed that I did good on my selection. Thanks again.

Owner Response

:) Thank you :)

Drive up, walk in, and feel the love! This newly constructed cottage is as close to perfection as you can imagine. Set among beautiful pine trees, the drive up appeal is second only to the joy of walking in the door. Clean, pretty, quality furnishings. It was such a joy to be able to stay in this welcoming place; I could make this my home. There are cottages on either side, but the setting is such, that privacy abounds. 3 doors lead to outside porches. This is beautiful, perfectly appointed, and a joy. We can easily plan on bringing another couple or family members for a wonderful get-a-way! Thank you for letting us be your guests!

Awesome place. We will be back. Loved everything about this place cottages are great easy access to wolfpen gap for riding.

The owners thought of everything. Heavenly beds/linens, has everything you would need! Very quiet and secluded. Enjoyed the outdoor grill and chasing the fire flies!

Owner Response

Glad you enjoyed your stay Christine!

We have stayed in many cabins in Mena, the Stonehill Cottages are by far the best and only place to stay! The owners have thought of every detail in order to make the stay the most pleasurable and memorable to have. The beds are the most comfortable you will ever lay in. The cottage is supplied with just about anything you will need (except food etc). The grounds are absolutely beautiful and are well kept. This was by far the most enjoyable stay we have ever had. We can't wait for our next trip to Mena AR and Stonehill Cottages! Thank you!!!!

Owner Response

Thank you so much :). We look forward to having you back :)

Our family makes an annual trip to Mena and we have never found a suitable place to stay until this year. Stonehill Cottages are absolutely beautiful. The cottages themselves are in a natural peaceful setting that you never want to leave! We sat on the porch every minute we weren’t busy! The décor is so pretty (with the most comfortable beds) and it is well appointed with everything you need for a short or a long stay. My grandchildren loved playing outside in the spacious areas surrounding the cottage. Michael was very accommodating and gave us great tips for our visit. This will be our go-to place every year!

The cottage was great. My wife and I slept late in the comfortable bed. The kids had a great time as well. We spent time sightseeing in town and in Hot Springs. Despite the rain, we had a wonderful time and the people in town were nice and friendly. Enjoyed the mountain views and the cool weather!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This cabin was beautiful! You had everything a person could need for an extended stay. Everything was luxurious but comfortable. It was clean and the view was gorgeous out both the front and back. It was close enough to town that you could be there in a few minutes, but far enough out to be quiet and relaxing. It was just a few minutes drive to the riding trails at Wolf Pen Gap! It was really nice to bump into the owner as we arrived and get to meet him and his daughter! A five star stay!

Owner Response

It was a pleasure meeting you guys. Glad you enjoyed The White House :)

This cottage is awesome and far exceeded my expectations. It has first class accommodations throughout, from the fully equipped kitchen to the three flat screen TV's and remote control fireplace. Everything is new and super clean. It's remoteness and small mountain setting is so relaxing. It was great sitting on the deck and enjoying a bright starry night with no city lights. And when I had to do a little work, the fast satellite WiFi made it easy to connect to my corporate network. The best of both worlds!

Owner Response

Many thanks Nick! See ya soon :)

Very nice place to relax after a day in the mountains. Everything was perfect and better than described. Cozy and Comfortable!

Owner Response

Thank you :)

Fabulous country cottage. Perfect size and very well equipped. Modern amenities and beautifully decorated. Perfect location just a few miles south of Mena. Wonderful property with beautiful views. Loved the rocking chairs on the wrap around porch, as well as the outdoor table and chairs on the back patio. While we where there we enjoyed the remote gas fireplace. We cooked several meals in the kitchen. Beds where super comfy and the quality of the linens were luxurious. We can't wait to come back.

Owner Response

Thanks Robin :)

Beautifully decorated! The living room furniture was so comfortable! You can't help but to relax in this cottage! I can't say enough how AMAZING the bed was! We will be looking into getting this same bed for our house! They have thought of everything to make u feel cozy!

Owner Response

Thank you Jenny :)

We just returned from a relaxing 4 night stay in The White House. All the comforts of home in an adorable cozy cottage! Despite the rain, we enjoyed 4-wheeling through Wolf Pen Gap and exploring other sites around town. The owners we more than helpful and have thought about every detail in preparing this cottage for visitors! We look forward to returning in the fall to see the leaves change!

Owner Response

Thank you Marci :) We look forward to you guys coming back to visit. Michael & Jessica :)

The cottage was better than most five star hotels that I have stayed in! You get the great beauty of the Arkansas mountains with excellent facilities in the quiet country setting. Mena is right up the road for easy access to restaurants as well as other Arkansas attractions in the area. I could tell that a lot of hard work and custom planning took place in building these cottages. Definitely plan on being an annual visitor if not more!

Owner Response

Thanks Don!

This is an awesome place to stay just outside of Mena. It's far enough out for quiet but close enough for dinner in town. The house are new and are excellent stay for anyone. I highly recommend the property if you are in the area!

Owner Response

Thanks Shaun! You're an awesome guest!

Loved the mountain views and the cottage was spotless! This has to be the nicest vacation rental I've ever stayed in. Everything was brand new and top of the line. We can't wait to come back again!

Owner Response

Thank you Katie!

The setting was great, just great. It was 4 miles from downtown Mena, great mountian views, paved road, bbq grill, very much a park-like setting. Awesome mountain view off of the back deck, the inside and out of the cottage literally looked like something from a storybook. I want to live there! The beds were the best I have ever slept on, THE best. The interior decor was exquisite. Definitely recommend!

The Whitehouse - simply put - was just perfect. The interior is simply beautiful with a definite Pottery Barn vibe. Everything was spic and span. The beds were so amazingly comfortable. The gas fireplace was great. Loved the rocking chairs on the front porch. It was a low traffic area...very peaceful! A perfect getaway!

Beautiful Place! We will definitely be back for a visit :)
