Summary: Inside this rental house was totally awesome. Clean, fresh look. Wish my house looked this good on the inside. Soooo much better than motel. Just needs to upgrade on bedding pillows. Some would want a tv in bedroom, however, we were not used to that, so the big tv in living area was plenty. We didn’t spend much time outside except for some strolls. Could have been a little better upkeep on outdoor areas. The breezeway is awesome. Just needs lots of seating and visiting/ bird watching areas. When we first pulled in I was a bit nervous, but once we opened that door inside, all worries were gone. Would stay here again if in area.

Summary: The house was nice and communication with the host was very good. The only issue we had is that it is located on a busy highway and the noise of trucks and cars going by was disruptive, especially if you are trying to sit outside. We booked over 4th of July holiday so I'm sure the traffic was higher than normal.

Summary: Exactly as described and much more. We had a wonderful long weekend with family and this hidden gem couldn’t have been better for my disabled mother to be able to come along and enjoy the trip. Very accommodating and accessible we would love to stay here again!

Summary: This property is even better than described. The attention to detail was like no other place I have stayed. High quality sheets, thick bath towels and plenty of them, excellent charging station on nightstand for every device you could possibly have. Comfortable sitting areas with blankets. There is an ice maker separate from the freezer. Really this place is everything you could think of and more. I wish every place I stayed was this nice. It's a convenient location for crystal digging for most mines in the Mt Ida area. Short drive to eat in Mt Ida. The property is just off the main road but pretty quiet. If we weren't getting up early for digging we would have sat out on the lovely porch and enjoyed coffee in the peaceful wooded back area. Definitely a 5 star stay.

Summary: We had an absolutely fantastic stay here. The property is comfortable, quiet, and in a gorgeous location very close to a lot of interesting things to do - hiking, crystal hunting, visiting the lake, etc. Lots of nice amenities too - a fully equipped kitchen, a grill, a really nice breezeway, a fire pit, and even beach toys for kids. This is a "batteries included" place. We loved our stay here and look forward to staying here the next time we're in this area.

Summary: This property is beautiful, and the home came with every amenity we could have asked for in a vrbo. There are a lot of trails and lakes all around to hike and enjoy. I can't imagine the beauty in the Fall and Spring.

Summary: We greatly enjoyed our stay at The Hidden Gem and we wouldn't hesitate to go back! This is a very private property that is literally minutes from everything. Beautiful swimming on Lake Ouachita, restaurants, museums, crystal digging...you can do it all! We loved how comfortable the house was for our family of five and the workspace was a huge bonus for us!

Summary: My stay at this Vrbo in Mt. Ida was an absolute dream come true. The location is nothing short of magical. Tucked away just off the highway, it feels like stepping into a hidden paradise. Surrounded by a breathtaking forest of beautiful trees in every direction, it's as if you've entered a different world. One of the highlights of my stay was the seamless integration of nature into the property. Large windows and skylights provide ample natural light, and the surrounding forest creates a sense of serenity and privacy. Despite its secluded setting, this Vrbo boasts surprisingly modern amenities. If you're looking for a getaway that combines the beauty of nature with the comforts of modern living, this Vrbo is an absolute gem.

Summary: We have stayed at various properties around Mt. Ida. This is by far our favorite. Very cozy home with so many positives: comfy beds, plenty of space, great back porch with grill, well-stocked kitchen. Lots of little 'extras' that show Edwenna wants her guests to have a perfect stay. Excellent location, quick drive to trails, restaurants, lake, rivers. We will definitely return!
