Stay here!
What a wonderful place to stay! The house was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything you could possibly need (plus lots of extras). It is a place that the owners have taken great pride in. They were very responsive to an early check-in. What a peaceful place!

The atmosphere was Hot, but the Grotto was COOLER!
We came up to Mt. Ida to get away from the Texas heat, well, on that we failed, but we stumbled into a gem of a short term rental at the Grotto, the decorations were fantastic, the property well maintained, and the amenities were perfect for our family of 4. We did everything from hanging out in Hot Springs to finding a hidden spot by the River about 9 miles away (Be careful it is a 7 mile dirt/gravel road) - but when we got there, it was amazing. The town of Mt. Ida was fantastic, the people friendly and we never lacked for fun things to do, the Grotto was perfect in that we played lots of family games around the kitchen table and many many fooseball games in which our youngest son age 20 let us all know that he was undefeated for the week - GRRR - next time I will get him....So from our family to whomever is thinking of coming to this area of Arkansas - we give the Grotto our highest rating - awesome place !

Wifey and I booked it for 2 nights with our daughters family. It was perfect for us and Brian was very prompt and helpful when I had questions. I’d recommend The Grotto to everyone.
