Perfect location! Super cute cozy room. I had two teenagers with my husband and me, so it was a little snug. The bathroom door is a sliding barn door, so it doesn’t really give a lot of privacy. There isn’t a table or anything to put your bags, so we had stuff everywhere (esp with two teenagers) but overall it was a great stay! The sauna after a long day of walking was perfection! The deck and fire pit were another added bonus! We loved our stay.

Very cute and lovely setting
We enjoyed our stay! The cottage is a bit tight, but extremely cute and decorated well. Perfect for 2 people. Even though we were very close to downtown, it was extremely quiet. The porch area made for some amazing morning coffee time and the firepit was perfect! They even provided firewood and fire starter materials. We didn't make a fire because of a fire ban, but appreciated the thought. Accessing the loft area seemed a bit daunting to access so we didn't use that area. The refrigerator might need replacing as it didn't maintain a cold temperature. Keep an eye out for the local fox that seems to live across the road! Beautiful! We will definitely be back!

Cozy House
This place was great. Location was wonderful being just walking distance from downtown. The hill back up to the place is a bit tough but definitely worth not having to find and pay for parking. I will say when we arrived it was 76 in our room and VERY humid. The remote to the a/c was not wanting to set the new temp for us so we had to find a manager. He was such a big help. He was able to get new batteries in the remote and fix it for us. Another issue was the refrigerator and freezer was not cold and we were not able to use it the first day. Luckily we had a cooler and we did inform the owner and they were very kind with providing us with ice packs. The next morning we woke up and the fridge had started to work so that was a plus. Another thing I would mention is it is very small and was not completely ideal for our family do to us having an infant. Just keep in mind when booking this place that you have to climb a ladder for the loft and there is not much room. We did really enjoy the time we stayed otherwise.

Great host perfect location.
Love the location, easy walking distance to town. Hosts were grest!
This tiny home was adorable. It's small, but not too small. The back porch is wonderful and peaceful, perfect for drinking your morning coffee. It's a short walk downhill to get to the main strip of Eureka Springs. Walking back uphill was a little harder, but hills are expected when visiting Eureka Springs. We saw deer right outside the the house one evening. The decor was cute and everything was functional and in good working order. LOVED that the host said "you're on vacation, you don't have to do any chores before you leave." PERFECT! We will definitely come back.

Anticipated cleanliness and in good repair
We expected the property to be as pictured on VRBO site; however, to nasty and in disrepair to stay! Bed sheets & pillow cases had soiling and stains. Ceiling above fan and beams had hanging dust above the bed. The floor under the bed was thick with dust and other debris. The barn house bathroom door would not open or close properly. The trim around the glass on the front door was rotten and part had fallen off. Even though a deadbolt was on the door the actual door knob was flopping! The property manager was immediately texted pictures and asked to come to the property where we pointed out the reason the house was not ready for anyone to stay! We asked for a full refund! We called VRBO and texted pictures! It has been 15 days and NO refund!! The reason we were given for “no refund” was that we did not cancel 24 hours before. We had no way of knowing 24 hours before that the conditions were unacceptable!!!

Tiny, but mighty
My husband and I celebrated our 7th anniversary at the Fox Den. The location was perfect! We walked everywhere. The den is very tight, but just right for the 2 of us. We loved the porches and outdoor area. Favorite part were the 3 baby red foxes playing in the back yard area. They were so fun to watch. Very private. Cold AC. We would definitely return!

Great location and great host
Such a beautiful little “den” tucked away from downtown, but easily walkable to the whole town of Eureka Springs. Parking was great and super helpful to get to places further away.
Enjoyed having morning coffee over looking the creek below the property, not to mention feeling extremely safe at night!
