"This was our first visit to this area of Arkansas and we didn't know what to expect. It was a last-minute decision to spend the New Year in Jasper and we are glad we did! We came for the hiking, and this location put us within 30 minutes of dozens of trails. Beautiful property, and the location of this cabin was ideal; quiet, scenic and comfortable. Pattie was a gracious host and pointed us to a couple of fantastic hikes that I'm thankful we didn't miss. We didn't need much while we were there, but she made sure that we were well-attended-to all the same. We can not wait to return! The cabin was comfortable, well-stocked, and best of all, flexible for a stay that fluctuated from 3 to 9 guests over the course of our week. "

"Overall a good stay. My family and I had a great time. The cabin was comfortable and clean. The beds were not very comfortable for us, but overall was a good stay. "

"What a beautiful part of the country! So great to explore it and do some hiking. The accommodations were perfect! Loved the hot tub with a lovely view and visit from a red headed woodpecker. Hope to be back. "

"Wonderful place for our retreat! The whole renting, check-in and check-out process was such an easy process.Perfect space for our group of 22.We would definitely recommend this place."

"The cabin was beautiful with great views from the full wall of windows! Everything was clean and everything we needed for our stay was there and as expected. Some small maintenance items were pointed out to the owner but nothing that impacted our stay. The furniture and beds were comfortable and exceeded our expectations. This property is easy to access and close to the main road with a gravel driveway and sign pointing us in the right direction which helped. It rained on us most of the time we were there so we didn't get to spend much time outside but if you're planning some outdoor activities, it might be important to note that the back yard is quite steep (it's in the mountains after all so to be fair, everything is steep in that area) so not much level ground for the cornhole game or things like that. Also, the fabric on the hammocks could use a little TLC, since they stay outside they are a bit dirty, again, to be expected but good to know if you're planning on jumping directly into them upon arrival. The town of Jasper is only about a 5 minute drive (very curvy roads here so beware) and is absolutely adorable. The people are friendly and the food is good. Visit the pizza place but go early, they tend to sell out and they told us it's a three day process to make the dough! It's sooo good! Lots of local hiking and trails to keep you occupied on your visit. Overall, this was an amazing stay and we hope to visit again in the future! "

"Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Hosts were wonderful. They made fire outside the fire pit during our stay and set it up for us. The river backside of the cabin was amazing. Strongly recommend this place. "

"We have stayed at the Lily Pad in the past, and absolutely love the property. The hosts are awesome and the ambience of the property is most definitely worth the visit!"

"Going to the house the road is a little rough, if rain it can get slippery. Maps lead straight to the house with the address provided. The house is great for a big family, plenty of things for the kids to do. Every question I had she answered quickly and was very nice. The location is good for what we had planned it’s like in the middle of everything we did so that was a plus."

"Beautiful home and property! We had a wonderful time playing games, pool, ping pong, just spending time together. The hosts were easy to contact and answered all questions! Thank you for a wonderful time!"
