Willowbrook Cottage and Cabins
Peaceful and beautiful storybook cottage, 
  or affordable getaway cabins in the heart of the Ouachita Mountains 

just 3 miles from Mena, Arkansas! Edge of National Forest!

"This is every artist’s and author’s dream come true!  The natural beauty that surrounds you stirs up countless emotions and inspires wonderful creativity.  It’s the perfect place to escape to from the stress of daily life.  This cozy and quaint cottage offers a tranquil environment with all the comforts of home." -- C.N., Texas

    Private but not remote, quiet but easily accessible; totally unforgettable!                                      

We have four unique vacation rentals,  just 2 1/2 miles from the safe and relaxing "Mayberry" type town of Mena, Arkansas--choose your favorite, and start making some memories: scroll to the bottom for all four.  First, our premium cottage:

Willowbrook Cottage 
A storybook cottage, nestled in the hills just 2 miles from
Mena, Arkansas, surrounded by flower gardens--ideal for one or two couples
                    

The magic begins at the gate!        You won't believe it when you drive up. The waterfall behind Willowbrook, early summer.

    Willowbrook Garden Cottage         
"Dreams come true at Willowbrook Cottage"  "Basing our entire trip off the Internet--we were a little nervous and not quite sure what to expect.  I cannot tell you how pleased we have all been.  If you could have only seen us when we first arrived!!!! We were like children at Christmas--our eyes all aglow, running from room to room, each of us saying, 'Look here!'  'Oh my gosh!'  We took lots of pictures and made wonderful memories.  You have a wonderful touch.  Thank you for all your extras!"    J and S B, Claremore, OK,   March, 2009

Hide away in this amazingly charming stone cottage, or sit in the loveseat swing by the bubbling brook and waterfall!   Forget the stress of your everyday world for a few days!

There is free wireless Internet, if you have to keep in touch with the real world, but you won't want to tear yourself away from just relaxing at this wonderful cottage.

There are 2 queen-size bedrooms, 2 full baths, one with jacuzzi bathtub, both with showers.  But even though there is room for 2 couples, we have many honeymoon or anniversary guests who love this cottage with just the two of them (the 2nd bedroom stays empty--we don't rent it to anyone else, so you have all the privacy you want).   The fully equipped  kitchen (with full-size fridge/freezer, stove, dishwasher, all linens, dishes, pots and pans) is just off a delightful garden room with view of gardens and stream with waterfall. Or you can cook outside on the charcoal BBQ grill.  Your own private grounds, not shared.  (Willowbrook Garden Cottage is the main part of the large stone manor house, includes the stream and main flower gardens, and is separated from "The Nest," which is in a formerly unused wing of the cottage with its own entrance and its own private garden, so both have complete privacy.)  (Chip and seal driveway is hard and good for motorcycles.)

A Willowbrook Guest wrote: "Dream come true!  This was the perfect get  away! I'd just finished finals and wanted to escape my life and just relax. When I saw the pictures I was thinking this place looked too good to be true. It was absolutely perfect! I relaxed some, went walking through the trails, enjoyed the waterfall and the babbling brook. This was just perfect. I think it'd be perfect for a romantic weekend away. I went alone and still loved it! Thanks for making it available. Gorgeous! I'm telling all of my friends to GO!!"  -- L.S., Austin, TX 

Curl up in the knotty-pine living room with original stone fireplace fitted with realistic gas logs, and watch a movie or read a book. Enjoy the Victorian dining room, or eat in the wonderful garden room.

In the spring and summer, the flower gardens and grounds give you delightful privacy and enchantment.  Fall and winter bring their own joys with the fall leaves and crisp air, with pretty places to walk. 

"Beautiful Cottage Escape: This 100 year old cottage is so beautiful it's like escaping into a Thomas Kinkade painting. Very quiet, peaceful and serene. The guys liked it as well. If you'rw looking for somewhere to escape the everyday rat race. This is the place to come and renew your spirit and soul. We will definately be back." -- J.S., Kilgore, Tx

You won't find a better place to stay in or around Mena!  This is a real one-of-a-kind hide-away, one that will make lasting memories.

"Never have we stayed in a place so serene.  It's the place of my dreams.  The ivy-covered cottage, the birds singing, running brook, the flowers.  a little wonderland I thought I would never be able to experience....I will always remember this place," L.B., Shreveport, of Willowbrook Garden Cottage

 Regular rate was $170;  NOW $160 per night, double occupancy; additional persons $10

Our second unit, the Nest, is just as magical as Willowbrook Garden Cottage, but smaller, and just right for 2 people:

Willowbrook "Nest"

   The Nest: English cottage charm    Private deck in the treetops   Delightful sunroom

  Charming, ideal for two; makes a wonderful honeymoon getaway!

“Celebrating 30 yrs of marriage and 25 yrs of ministry, we were looking for a place to get away, to slow down, to be quiet.  It is always a risk when looking online—will it really be the way it is pictured?  This was exactly what we were looking for and more.  Beautiful and serene.....                --Dean & Marcia

You won't believe this darling "Nest" with its 2nd story balcony up in the treetops and its loft bedroom with Queen size bed and its own little jacuzzi bathtub tucked up under the eaves.  Real privacy and escape from the rat-race are yours at this English- style cottage.  Recently added to an unused wing of the Willowbrook Garden Cottage manor house, this cozy retreat has its own private garden, and is very private, separate from the Garden Cottage.

Downstairs you can totally relax in recliners in your own little "library" where you can enjoy  free wireless Internet, or the extensive book library. 

There is a sunroom with loveseat and table, and a new little "English" style kitchen.

Outside is a private "Prayer Garden," with a wildwood stream and hillside being your own view.

Property #3: If you prefer a cozy woods cabin, look at this cabin below:

Smaller than Willowbrook, and on its own private wooded setting, Woodhaven is our midsize 1000 square foot cabin--a great woods hideaway:

Woodhaven Cabin  
A private and cozy cedar cabin at the edge of the National Forest!

Five Star ***** review at FindBedandBreakfast.com!
"What a lovely respite from the world! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.   Early morning coffee on the deck and late afternoons watching the butterflies and the hummingbird moths flit from stem to stem were particularly enjoyable."  B & T, Lafayette, LA

                    

     

   

      Fireplace and comfy seating

 

 

 

  

Summer wildflower garden at Woodhaven    Jetted garden tub    

  

        Cozy cabin interior

Hide away from the world in this private western cedar cabin in the woods--yet you are only 3 miles from Mena on a good paved road.  You will feel refreshed as you take your morning coffee out on the deck or on the screen porch, listen to the birds or the breeze in the pines on the hill behind the cabin.  You might even get to see some wildlife from the National Forest.

"We celebrated our 4th anniversary here; we had a wonderful holiday here.  The cabin is all that we expected and MORE.  I would certainly recommend it to my friends and family.  Mena is the best cozy town i have seen."  J and S, Irving, TX, Dec 25, 2008

A pillow-top canopy queen bed awaits you after you soak in the two-person jacuzzi bathtub!  Romantic and memorable will be your getaway at Woodhaven Cabin.  

There is a loft with two single beds (or you can make them up as a king) if more than two people are staying; in fact, if you want to bring the family, children will love the large collection of teddy bears that they can play with in the loft.  There  is a nice wide and easily-accessed stairway.

The kitchenette has dishes and utensils, and includes a 4-burner glass cooktop and full-size fridge/freezer.  Outside in the clearing in the woods is a little BBQ grill and picnic table, in case you want to cook out.  You can enjoy walks into the National Forest just beyond the cabin, and then come back and snuggle by the fireplace and watch a movie or read a book from our selection.

Carpeting, heat and air make the cabin enjoyable year-round.  Springtime brings bulbs and early flowers, and summer you will love watching the butterflies in the wildflower gardens front and back of the cabin.  Fall wraps colorful foliage around the cabin, and winter just makes it all the more cozy, sometimes with a dusting of snow.

"I just wanted you to know what a wonderful time that my friends and I had at your cabin.  It was very special. I recently graduated college and this trip was something that my parents wanted to give me as part of my graduation present.  Mena is a beautiful little town. The teddy bears in the cabin were cute and the cabin was so clean. We appreciate the hospitality and hope to come back sometime in the future."               E.W., Shreveport, LA    January, 2011

Cabin #4, a good value cabin that won't break the budget:

Sunnybrook Cabin  
a cozy log-sided cabin  with lofts, shady lot and bubbling brook

"What a wonderful area!  The views, trees and even the scents, make me want to return!  We love this cabin.  It is the perfect size and has everything you could possibly need.  Thank you for all the perfect little details.  Nice to be in the mountains but not too far from Walmart!"  R.B. and R. T.

"Thank you Carolyn, The cabin is just lovely, too cute, and very well supplied and stocked, 
we hate to leave. We've had a great time here."  --Stephanie
,  Oct `11, 2009

A great little cabin (10 x 40) when you need plenty of  sleeping spaces, a kitchen, bath, but not a lot of square footage!  There is a large shady yard by the brook that makes a home base while visiting all the wonderful area sites.  Close to picturesque small town of Mena in the heart of the 1.6 million acre Ouachita National forest, where tourism and outdoor activity thrive.  We are not far from nature, bike, and ATV trails (Directions: from cabin, go right on 44 to 375 and go for eight miles; trail head will be near County Road 277), along with 2 golf courses and several lakes within an hour drive.  

Free Wireless Internet, heat and air conditioning, cute and unique log-sided cabin, cathedral ceiling, 2 full-size sleeping lofts,1 small den on ground level with futon that we keep made up as queen bed, compact furnished kitchen with full-size fridge/freezer and stove, all linens and dishes and pans, living room with dvd/vcr, picnic table and charcoal grill, bubbling brook with bench, large shade trees, privacy fence, plus woods and stream at back.
