Excellent place to stay

The house was very clean n stocked. Has a back porch to sit on if it rains with table and chairs. There is also a fire pit area with plenty of wood to use. The carport was nice to pull our truck in after a long day at the crystal mines.

A ray of sunshine in a stormy week

The house was perfect for our family of three! It was the cleanest and most well equipped VRBO property I have ever stayed in. The owner’s good taste in decor and necessities shined thru! Even though it rained —a lot every day —we were still able to hike the upper legs of the trails near the house. It was only a 10 minute drive to some great trail heads on the Oachita National Trail. When the area was threatened with severe storms and tornadoes the owner relayed where we could find shelter. She truly cared about us and wanted us to be safe. I would definitely recommend this property!!!!!

This place is simply magical! Everything was impeccable, with every detail you could imagine taken care of. But what we loved the most was the daily visits from the adorable Buddy. Our family campfire was a highlight, and the comfort and positive energy of the place made it truly special. We loved every moment and are so grateful for the beauty and personalization of this incredible spot. Thank you for making our stay unforgettable! Thanks!!!! Love, Patty & Family

Cosmic Crystal AR Adventure

We came for the Eclipse and stayed the rest of the week at Ella's House to explore the area and check out the Crystal mines. This place was perfect! Great location. Very nice, clean, house with comfy beds. So much better and cheaper than staying at a hotel in Hot Springs. We all really enjoyed our stay and would absolutely come back. Thank you!

We had a nice relaxing stay. The accommodations were nice, very clean, and comfortable. Two adult children shared a room my husband and I in the other/ we were plenty comfortable. Sisters get along well. This was our first time to Mt. Ida to go quarts crystal digging at the area crystal mines. There is a water hose available to use to rinse off your day's treasures. We hope to be back to Mt. Ida- will definitely try to book here when we do.

Ella's is Awesome!

It's an older home but completely redone and I mean completely. It's perfect. The owner was quick to reply and everything went seamlessly. It's easy to find and in a great location for any activities on the south side of lake Ouachita. Next time I travel there, this will be the first place I try to stay.

Easy and perfect

Owners were easy to communicate with, the process from check in to check out is exactly what you want and expect from a vrbo situation. We were there to look for quartz and they even had a hose around back to help out. The house is so clean and well appointed, with lots of whites, so make sure you respect the place and do your rocks if that’s the purpose of your trip! Perfectly located, cool area, comfy beds. As a vrbo rental owner myself , I was impressed. Heads up, Montgomery county is a dry county. I don’t drink personally, but my partner does, and football sunday was a little quieter than usual
