Avis PET FRIENDLY REASONABLY PRICED MOUNTAINTOP COTTAGE

I'm glad you enjoyed the serenity of the mountaintop! I too love the peace and tranquility!

Thanks for the input. Yes there are bugs on a mountaintop in Arkansas and deer roaming as well. Its a quaint 3 bedroom cottage reasonably priced... less than the price of a motel... in an idyllic location. I'm rarely on site and as a fellow dog owner who expressed difficulty in finding pet friendly properties having multiple dogs you were hospitably invited to view canine artwork from around the world. I enjoyed meeting you and sorry the property didnt meet your expectations. Thanks for the visit.

Thanks for your kind words! I built the home in part in tribute to my dog Booster who changed my life and others lives around the world. I spent years collecting the canine art and carvings and its all to be shared with people like you who understand and appreciate how our dogs are an integral part of our families. One note....cell phone receptionis great and everyone hotspots to their laptops so no need for dedicated internet. Please do come back!!

Thanks for your kind words! It was such a pleasure to meet you and your canine kid! Its guests like you that make hosting not only possible but enjoyable! I sure hope you return and we can share coffee and dog treats lol ok ok maybe even a beer or two lol Please do stay in touch. Davis

Thanks for your taking time to write a nice review. The road up the mountain is rock/gravel and no mud to get stuck in. You do NOT need 4 wheel drive or all wheel drive to get to the cottage. "You aren't in Kansas anymore Toto!" like in the Wizard of Oz lol . Many guests come and go with 2 wheel drive vehicles.There aren't any perfectly paved, smooth country roads in rural Arkansas. In fact, the County Highway road fronting the property is bumpy gravel that gets grated by the County from time to time. You will be greeted by Mother Nature in all her spender... a subjective term for sure! Deer will likely greet you and armadillos may wander by. Once a year we have a Japanese beetle invasion (like lady bugs) and they get into ALL of the homes. Once in awhile there may be millipedes invading the porch or flies may take an indoor tour when you leave the door open. Even moths have been known to swarm and get inside. Overnight a spider with a Master's degree in civil engineering may build a beautiful web more complicated than those found on the internet! Dog Friendly is an under statement and you may find a dog hair has floated from heaven above and landed here or there. It's a lil funny a dog owner commenting on dog hair. I assure you that my cleaning lady Jenny spent all day cleaning the cottage after a few guys from a construction crew vacated it that morning. There "was" always an abundance of dishtowels and a dish drying rack. I will see to it that they are replaced if they were removed by the construction guys. Rest assured the property is thoroughly cleaned but Mother Nature is why you would be visiting in the first place, right? You may have to swat something that offends you or sweep up offenders that popped up the night before. The property is clean but not sterile as would be a laboratory... that's what makes it so unique. A light bulb on the front porch attracts flying critters for sure and a door left open will let them in. A glass door won't help fight that aspect of Mother Nature...they'll just fly through 2 doors! Gratefully, we don't have mosquitoes. . This is typical for rural areas like this. It's beautiful, secluded property and you won't be living in a vacuum, but perhaps WITH one sometimes! It's a given. I think you were out of your comfort zone for sure as bumpy roads and critters are what a mountaintop is all about! Again, I appreciate your time in communicating your experience.
