We're located 20 Minutes from Fort Smith and Old Town Van Buren. These cities have historic landmarks and places of interest, including Judge Parker's courthouse and gallows, Miss Laura's former bordello, lots of shopping and restaurants. We're also about 45 Minutes from Fayetteville and the Springdale/Rogers areas; we have easy access about 2 miles off Interstate 40. Our pricing is based on 4 adults, with kids staying free. For more than 4 adults, there will be a $25 per person per night charge, and this will be paid on arrival for the entire stay. We also have a $25 per pet fee, with one being allowed to pay on the website through the booking fee. Additional pet fees will be paid on arrival, and this is a one-time charge for the stay. We do not allow CATS unless declawed - we've had damage from scratches to bedding and furniture. Maximum stay is two weeks. This is a nice established home w/newer furnishings and comfortable bedding and seating. TV's are provided w/internet stations and access to Netflix, Disney+, Hulu and Peacock.

There is a covered carport and a gravel drive inside the gates, along with a space in front of the house as well as being located on a cul-de-sac, so there is extra parking available. We have locks for the gates if needed. Beds consist a of king, 2 twins, and a pull-out queen bed. There is also a couch and two recliners which could be used for sleeping. We have no minimum night stay, so if you're coming for a Hog Game or just passing through the area, we'll be glad to have you for just one night. Come and stay with us!

Overall experience was ok. The motorcycles across the street and foot and vehicle traffic in the neighborhood were the only drawbacks. The fenced yard for our dogs was great.

So much better than staying at a hotel
We came to Alma to visit with family. Had stayed at a local chain hotel on a past visit and wasn’t crazy about the stay. The home we rented from Sally was warm and inviting. She has done a wonderful job in anticipating the needs of her guests. Five stars all around. I highly recommend this rental and hosts.

Great place
The hosts were very nice and easy to communicate with. House was clean and plenty of seating, toys and things to keep our young kids busy. Beds were comfortable, even the pull-out sofa bed, although it was dipping in the middle a bit. Main complaints are that the window in the second main room where the pull-out bed is only had blinds and no curtains so our daughter was waking up too early from the light coming through. Room darkening curtains would be nice. And none of the cabinets or drawers in the kitchen were labeled so it was a bit difficult to find things. Other than that it was great!

Wonderful Stay!
We were in NW Arkansas for a wedding, which happened to be graduation weekend for U of A. This property is about 45 mins from there and was absolutely perfect for us and our dogs. Everything you could think of to make your stay comfortable was provided and the yard was huge for the dogs. The owners were so friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely reserve again.

Overnight in Alma
This was just what we needed. We needed to be in Greenwood at 8am. We live 3 1/2 hours away and it was going to be raining so we decided to head closer with our 2 dogs. While looking for pet friendly hotels, I stumbled upon his listing. Perfect! Sally was very accommodating to us. She showed us around upon arrival. The house was very comfortable for all of us. The price is very fair. The fenced yard was huge. The bed comfortable. We didn’t use much of anything since we had to leave at 6:30am to get to Greenwood on time but everything we might have needed was there. We will stay again when we visit our Greenwood friends.

Great place when traveling with pets!
We loved the 2 recliners in the living room and the fenced in area for our dogs! The kitchen was nice, having water, tea, coffee, wine, etc…The primary bedroom was nice with a king size bed, drawers and closet space. The owners were very easy to work with. If we come back this way, we will stay here again.
