Thank you and your family for booking and staying with us at The Sassafras Inn. We take all reviews seriously and continue to modify and improve daily. We are however disappointed in the 8 star rating; as it is standard operating procedures for an innkeeper/owner to live on site at any inn or bed and breakfast. Sincerely, Darren O’Bannon Owner/innkeeper The Sassafras Inn Mena, Arkansas

Adding accessibility features to an upstairs room built in 1900 was not a practical improvement. For that reason, the upstairs suite is not suitable for guests with impaired mobility. Both downstairs suites offer walk in showers with room for a shower chair (not provided). We encourage all guests with special requests to make note in their online booking or contact us in advance. We want to make certain that our guests have the best experience possible by setting the expectations before arrival.

Thanks
