Great place to stay especially if you want to go and ride wolf pen gap. There is a garage and you can ride your ATV straight from the property to the trail. Will definitely be coming back here again.
The Barnhouse was such a wonderful place to stay. It was clean, private, and had all of the amenities we needed to make us feel right at home. We will definitely stay there again whenever we need another relaxing weekend away in Mena.
Amber, the owner of the property is wonderful to work with and was incredibly helpful in giving ideas of what to do and where to go. The house is super cute with lots of evening/night options for fun and the location is centrally located between Little Missouri Falls and Wilhlemenia State Park.
We will definitely plan another trip there again some time!
This cottage is beautiful. The place is quiet & peaceful. Our daughter & Grandaughters stayed with us. We played games & laughed a lot. We shopped for antiques in Mena & enjoyed eating at the Queen Wilhemena lodge.
We absolutely loved this house! It was very clean and adorable. We enjoyed our stay so much. The property was secluded and we felt our trailers and sxs were very safe. Close to riding trails, but far enough away also. We would love to stay here again! We can’t thank Amber enough for such a great stay, she was only a text away the entire time if we had any issues/questions. Very very responsive when we needed!
Hello! Vrbo friends, let me tell you about this super cute house that’s secluded from the noise with all the amenities to include kitchen, bathroom, living, laundry right at your hands. Also a perfect place for the kiddos to run and play with a game room makes a great place if weather doesn’t permit outside activities. Don’t hesitate just book you won’t be disappointed.
If you’re looking for a very nice home to stay in with plenty of room to park trailers and a garage to park the toys in this is it! You will likely need a 4x4 to make it up the hill with a loaded trailer. The garage is awesome it was definitely our hang out spot. The beds are very comfortable, shower pressure is amazing, and the kitchen is well stocked. A few minute drive to town and right down the road from the trails. We will be back for sure!
This was a great spot! Soft, comfortable beds with nice linens. We had a great time with our kids in the game room when not out riding trails and exploring. Kitchen was stocked and easy to use. Driveway is super steep topped with loose gravel and may be an issue for smaller cars in rainy weather. Corner showers are small but get the job done. Super comfortable place to stay and hang out. About 15 minutes to WalMart for supplies. Great neighborhood.
We stayed three nights in the Barnhouse. It’s so nice and private. Pictures do not do it justice. It’s absolutely beautiful and so is the property. The master bedroom has a very soft bed, I know that isn’t for everyone, so I thought I’d mention it. The shower in the master has great water pressure. The house is beautifully decorated and has everything you could need to cook besides mixing bowls. There are only cereal sized bowls, but we made it work. Amber was amazing and answered every question we had and was super friendly! We cannot recommend this place enough and we will be back soon!!
This was a great property to stay at for trail riding Wolf Pen Gap. Loved the garage that we could park our (3) SXS's in. Host was readily available to answer our questions. Driveway is very steep, so just note that if you are pulling a heavy trailer. There is space at the bottom of the hill to unload your trailer if needed. Plenty of parking which is really nice. House is clean and was perfect for us as we had two couples in our party, but could definitely accommodate three couples or a family with multiple children. Easy access to the trails from the roads and I believe the house was approximately 8 miles from the trail head. Has a Keurig, pots/pans, and everything you need to be able to cook. I highly recommend this property.
We had a wonderful stay at The Barnhouse. Amber was extremely quick to respond to any questions we had and was very welcoming. We will definitely be back!
We had a relaxing time at The Barnhouse for Thanksgiving! It was well furnished and had everything we needed. The game room was a huge hit for our family. The firepit was wonderful and stocked with firewood. Amber was a great host. I highly recommend The Barnhouse if you are looking for a secluded getaway!
Loved our stay and it’s super cute, love the corrugated metal ceilings! The driveway is pretty step if you’re riding a motorcycle and you might want to park below the hill. The garage area with the couch, games and tv was a wonderful surprise and was used every night.
This is a great property, located in a perfect spot, and was comfortable and clean. Kitchen has all necessities and beds were super comfortable. The area was private and very quiet.
Such a great and relaxing stay for my husband. This is his second time staying in the house and he was thoroughly impressed. Thank you for making this wife’s planning easy!
My wife and I had a great time. The place is beautiful. Our host left us a nice note and goodies upon our arrival. The condo was super comfortable, spacious and relaxing. Access to the beach was literally feet away from the backdoor. We had easy access to great food options, shopping and other amenities. We definitely look forward to booking here again.
This was our second stay here and we really enjoyed it. Very comfortable and cozy with all basic supplies for cooking. Location is great - close to Wolf Pen and so many other trails/CRs to explore the area. Internet connectivity was great for streaming and for remote working.
Great place to relax and unwind! Excellent communication from the host! Very clean, perfect amenities and the beds were comfty! Cannot say enough great things! It was perfect!
It was a pleasure renting the Barnhouse. Amber is real easy to work with. This was my third time to rent this place and we will stay there the next time we come to Mena
We had a wonderful time. Great location to town and trails. Wonderful host and the best amenities(ping pong table! Fire pit!). Thank you fir sharing your Barnhouse with us!
