The unique experience of staying in what was once part of a general store was like going back in time, but of course it had all the modern amenities. The owners were absolutely wonderful. They were helpful throughout the stay, and we ended up spending a couple of hours talking to them and hanging out in the store because they were just great people. We will definitely stay here again next time we are in the area! ##### William S.

Sep 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quick boys trip with my sons My two boys (12 and 10) and I loved the cottage. They enjoyed exploring all of the decor and books and played some music on the piano as well which gave a nice atmosphere! It is a quiet place after the sun goes down and we enjoyed a family movie. The next morning the boys had fun playing checkers on the front porch of the store while we had breakfast and waited to take a farm tour. Perhaps the best part of the cottage are Lynna and Gary - you couldn’t ask for friendlier people to welcome you and talk to during your stay! Highly recommend a stay at the cottage and visit to the store if you are in the area. ##### Adam V. Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Houston G.

We were unable to meet Ms. Lynna but met Mr. Gary and enjoyed talking with him. The location was perfect for us! ##### Houston G. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### William L. Jul 14, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent .... but hot .... Property was clean and comfortable and fit our purpose of being close (only 30 minutes away) to Camp Ozark early in the morning to pick up our grand son on check out day. Would be a nice place for a few very quite days in the mountains. The only problem we had was the heat ..... with an outside temperature of 100 plus the 3 small window A/C units in the cottage while they worked very hard were not able to keep the rooms comfortable. Especially the bathroom which was located where non of the cool air could get in........ A fan would have made a big difference...... Adding a couple more units and having some fans would have helped. On a more moderate day with lower outside temps it probably would have been more comfortable ........ The Mercantile Store up front was a real hoot !!!!! We found several thing we couldn't do without ...... ##### William L.

The vintage touches make this property a unique find. The village is perfect for a morning stroll. The mercantile feels like stepping back in time.
