Thanks for choosing Prairie Creek Cottage ‘B’.

Pet fee is a 35.00 fee per dog, per stay and is NOT REFUNDABLE. It will be sent as a separate request for payment. Please let us know your dog breed before check in and how many dogs you will be bringing. All dogs must be crated when guests are not in cottage! A fenced pet play area allows your four legged friends to stretch their legs and enjoy the great outdoors. Take them for a walk to the creek where they can splash their paws or watch you fish or kayak. Please pick up after your dogs with doggy bags!

Enjoy the privacy of the country without leaving the convenience of town. No through traffic and plenty of room to stretch out during your stay.

We also have another property listed as Prairie Creek Cabin ‘A’ (Property 9423969) if this property is not available for your stay.

The Cottage is located a few minutes from downtown Mena, where you can enjoy the privacy and beautiful views shared by Mena residents in this Ouachita Golf Course community. This 1 bedroom/1 bath STUDIO is equipped with all the comforts of home including a back covered patio and a SHARED16x20 deck outfitted with patio furniture and a BBQ grill. This deck includes outdoor lights and plenty of space to kick your feet up and relax at the end of a long day.

The creek is full of fish where the water gets deeper so feel free to bring your poles and tackle.

Anniversary getaway
We celebrated our 30th anniversary and loved the stay. This little efficiency cabin was perfect. It is so quiet and cozy. I would love to come back in the fall the property is a large area with two fire pitts. We did not bring our dog, but this place is so pet friendly with a small fence for pets. We rode the trails and it is very close to trail heads. Can't wait to visit again.

Peaceful
The cottage was clean and the property was well maintained. There is a funky artsy feel to the out side and deck that you can set and relax or bbq while taking in the beauty of the sky and yard. The property is mostly secluded with a creek that has a tiny waterfall running into it from a stream that twist around the length of the property. You just have to see it to appreciate.

I so enjoyed staying in this adorable little cottage. It was perfect for my husband and I, and my pup! The area is so quiet and peaceful too. will be back for sure!! Also, I wish I'd had looked at what kind of mattress was there because that was some of the best sleep I've gotten in a while.

The duplex was clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. The neighborhood was nice and quiet, close to town. The drive wasn’t too far for ATV riding. We enjoyed seeing deer by the creek and in the pasture in the evenings.

I love Nature
I loved the Creek access, we kayaked, I wish we would have fished but it was down a little bit, plenty of minnows for bait, though. Place was cool and nice, AC works great. This is a perfect place to get away, and get back to nature, wish we could have stayed a couple of more nights but we hope to go back soon. Thanks to Tamara and Mark.

Handicap accessible limited.
Beautiful, clean, quiet and lovely. That’s the good part. Only one ramp for handicap wheelchair or mobility scooter. Because of that I could not access gazebo, where the grill was located the gazebo had a ramp but could not get off porch! Need a ramp by suite A Need grab handles in bathroom, by toilet and in shower. Oh by the way seat in shower was very small. We loved the cottage, but it should not have been listed with handicap logo.

Great for the two of you.
We were visiting family in Mena and this was perfect for my husband and I. It is the size of a suite and has all of the amenities of a small apartment: tv, refrigerator, stove and living area. . Relaxing outside area with outdoor seating and bbq. It is a duplex but you have your own entrances. It was perfect for visiting our family.

GREAT!
My husband & I enjoyed staying at this property over Christmas with our son & daughter-in-law. Perfect set up for each couple to have their own privacy but yet we gathered for meals & movies. Very clean, quiet and nice neighborhood. We drove (25-30min) to Wolf Pen Gap to ride the trails. Close to town if you need anything. Tammy is fantastic for responding quickly to any questions which I REALLY appreciate. Some rentals you may not hear anything for hours or days. Pet friendly too! Highly recommend. Thanks again for a great stay!

Quaint country cottage
Peaceful, quiet country setting. Spent evenings poking fire with a stick. Saw deer in the meadow just before dusk. Did not realize the building housed 2 separate “cottages” but was not a problem. Enjoyed meeting the other tenants. Will definitely be back.
