The Grate House — 1947 Charm w/ Marble, Hardwood & Fenced Yard by Harding

Step inside the Grate House — where 1940s character meets modern comfort, just minutes from Harding University

About This Space
The Grate House is just a 3‑minute drive (or less!) to Harding University, Harding Academy, Searcy High School, and downtown Searcy.

Originally built in the 1940s, this charming home has been fully remodeled inside, blending modern comforts with historic touches — from its marble countertops and tile floors to original hardwood, reclaimed tongue‑and‑groove boards, and the unique floor grate that inspired its name.

This 2‑bedroom, 1‑bath home features a full kitchen, formal dining area, laundry access, and a comfortable living room with a pull‑out couch. Outside, enjoy a fenced backyard with a spacious patio, grill, fire pit, fire table, and outdoor seating.

The Space
The Grate House comfortably sleeps up to 6 guests:

Bedroom 1: King bed

Bedroom 2: Queen bed

Living Room: Pull‑out couch (sleeps 2)

Extra Option: Queen air mattress available upon request

Guest Access
Guests have full use of the entire home, accessed via a smart lock on the back door. The backyard is easily reached from the driveway.

Other Things to Note
Well‑behaved, house‑trained pets are welcome for a small pet fee. A doggy door leads from the back door to the secure, fenced yard.

Enjoyed our stay. Easy to access and good location. The only thing I would suggest is a lock for the bathroom door. But it is a quaint, enjoyable place to stay.

So charming!

This house is a gem! It is immaculate on the inside, and it is so tastefully done. Hosts are completely wonderful and responsive, check in and out is so.very.easy, and the tv is actually easy to use! There is nothing not to love about this one. If you come to Searcy, this is the one to book.

We really loved the old fashioned door knobs, old floors, and shiplap! It was great to see tasteful updates but keeping some of the homes history! It was very peaceful and we enjoyed the grill and firepit at night. Our dog enjoyed the yard and he barely fit through the dog door which he loves. He is an old lab.

University Visit

This was a great place to stay for our visit to Searcy. House was well done for the remodel, and we felt comfortable staying here. The next door neighbor has a dog that barks quite a bit, but it was controlled during the evening, so it was a non-issue. Had great communication with the hosts, and check in/out was easy and reasonable. Will definitely look to stay here again should we end up being frequent visitors to Searcy.

Grate House

Beautifully remodeled. Loved the countertops and everything was right there. Very homey and comfortable. Couldn’t do a 5 star due to our reaction to previous pet exposure on the guest bed and couch, but we have now learned to go no pet homes. We’re just more sensitive than others I guess. It’s a very nice, well thought out house, much better than a hotel.

Wonderful girls trip

My friend and I traveled to AR for a girls shopping get away. The Grate house was a perfect spot to relax. The house is wonderfully decorated and well equipped and it was so nice to be able to bring a pet. I highly recommend this home!!!
