We Love the Forest Gate!!!

Review submitted: April 8, 2013   Date of arrival: March 9, 2013

We spent a week at this fabulous property and we did not want to leave. The photos do not do the property justice. The furnishing or upper end, not anything like you ususally find in vacation rentals. You have to experience the Forest Gate to really appreciate it. My grandchildren brought their 4 wheelers and bikes. They want to make this our yearly spring break spot! It is off the beaten path, set on several acres in a serene valley. I hope Kathleen forgives me, but I told my grands that the bidet was an Arkansas foot washer. We left rested and refreshed with memories that will last a life time. You will not regret staying at the Forest Gate!

Grant Parish Family Stay at the Forest Gate

EXCELLENT!!! We could not have found a better place to stay. Everyone in our party of 12 had the most wonderful time at the Forest Gate. Everything was as stated in the description and more. We will definitely be renting from this owner again. We can't say enough good things about the property, beautiful, well furnished, well stocked, very clean and excellent location. Very affordable also. It's nice to have somewhere so beautiful and clean to relax after a hard day of activities. Being able to cook and eat at the cabin was very nice also, we loved the outdoor cooking area and used it every night. There is plenty of wild life to enjoy also. We thank the owner sincerely for making this property available to us. PERFECT!

A beautiful, relaxing place and it is accurately described on website. We had a wonderful time and they even managed to provide perfect weather. Our group included three sisters, two brothers and their spouses for a total of 10 and we plan on telling everyone (in fact I have already) about the place. Hope to go again.

Great place to get away!

This was a great place to get away from it all! It had very nice furnishings and the beds were very comfortable. It even had a bidet in the master bedroom downstairs for the ladies in our group. We enjoyed hiking and mountain biking in the national forest at the end of the road. It had a nice fenced area outside that our dogs enjoyed. I could not have asked for a nicer place to stay

This was a great retreat away from it all! The home furnishings were lovely and the beds were very comfortable. The master bath even had a bidet for the ladies in our group. There was a nice fenced area outside for our dogs to enjoy. We enjoyed hiking and mountain biking into the forest. I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay.

Wonderful Stay

What a great place to get away from it all. We had ages from 2 to 81 plus two dogs. There was something for everyone. The house and property is just beautiful. What a great meeting place for any occasion. The house provided everything including privacy for everyone. I would recommend this for anyone who wants to leave the city life behind for awhile and just relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings..

This was a great get-away home for our family's Thanksgiving holiday. It is quiet and secluded but with easy access from a highway.

The house is comfortable and very charming, with lots of space to spread out and plenty of room for group gatherings. It is furnished very nicely and was in excellent condition.

The owner supplied detailed information about the house and was very helpful.

The location is a good one for exploring the huge Ouachita National Forest by car or hiking (just not during deer hunting season).

We recommend it!!

The moment we walked in the door we were so amazed. The more we walked through the rooms the more impressed we were. I would not hesitate coming back or even telling anyone else that this is the best place that I have ever stayed. T
