As soon as we walked in the door, the soothing sound of classical music hit our ears. The entire place felt warm and welcoming. The cottage had a cozy yet sophisticated feel. It warmed my heart when I found the two homemade chocolate chip cookies on the counter for us when we arrived. Beautiful, clean, and comfortable stay. One of the best places booked for an overnight getaway.

The carrage house was very quite and private. The location for walking around town is very convenient. Wish we could have stayed long enough to meet the chickens. Would stay again.

Our go-to place to say in Mena!
We make periodic visits to Mena and ever since discovering The Carriage House Inn a few years ago this is our go-to place to stay. The hosts, Ashley and Scott are wonderful and they strive to provide the best possible guest experience.

Five Star
We didn't go to Arkansas in search of a diamond, but we found a five star diamond in Mena Arkansas. The Carriage House exceeded our expectations. My husband and I have visited 49/50 States and this is the cleanest place we've stayed in. If we’re ever in Mena Arkansas we will definitely stay at the Carriage House.

Perfect for us and super clean!
We absolutely LOVED our stay at the Carriage House - it was so perfect for us! This is our 3rd stay although first time we got to stay in the actual Carriage House. Our previous visits, we stayed in the Parisian Suite and another time in the Sonoma Suite - we loved both of those as well. The Carriage House was perfect - so cute, completely clean and had everything we needed for our stay - fully stocked kitchen - (the cutest fridge and toaster), super cozy bed! The grounds are so nice - our family stayed there as well in another unit and it was just perfect. We really didn't want to leave! We will not stay anywhere else while in Mena! And, the welcome cookies are such a nice welcome treat - and are delicious too!

Return Traveler
We stayed on the property in July, we had such a great experience we returned with guests. We wanted to check in early if possible to unload then register in a local car show, it was no problem. The owners are very accommodating and the property is just beautiful plus inviting for traveling in groups. Lots of outdoor space with seating, firepit, axe throwing and chickens roaming around.

Charming
The property was simply charming, the Carriage House was clean, beautifully done with plenty of room and fully equipped with everything you need. The grounds were lovely with beautiful plantings, a waterfall, hammock, axe throwing block and lots of outdoor seating, even chickens! Property is very close to downtown with ample restaurants and shops, including an art gallery. The owner was very friendly plus took the time to show me the other units for rent. We are going back to Mena next month for a car show and renting the Carriage House again!

We stayed in the Carriage House. What a treat. Beautiful furnishings, incredibly soft sheets and towels, nice gardens. The pups and chickens added to the home town feel.

The perfect stay!
This beautiful property is located perfectly in town, near shops, restaurants, and the city park. The aesthetic of the home is very calm and peaceful. Comfortable bed and cozy seating in the living room. The yard was perfect for a stroll with coffee in the early morning. There was snow and ice outside our front door our first morning, so the host came out early and spread some salt to keep us from slipping, which I thought was very nice of him! Easy check in, great parking, and all the right amenities in the home. Will definitely stay at any place on the property again, and highly recommend this experience if you’re planning a trip to Mena!
