Description:
A Non-Smoking home
The Forest Gate is located 14 miles west of Mena, right off Hwy 8 West,
and sits on 10 secluded acres adjacent to the Ouachita National Forest.
The forest offers miles of rugged trails for mountain biking or hiking.
The Talimena Scenic Drive runs along the mountain ridge above the property and can be accessed from Main St. in Mena. Hot Springs is less than two hours away for a nice day trip.
The large, log and cedar home is situated in a park like
setting. An outdoor cooking area under the pine trees has three
large picnic tables beside a small pond for casual gatherings.
Inside, the home is elegantly furnished in a comfortable lodge
style. Each bedroom has quality linens, and a private bath. Two
separate living areas, one with a large rock fireplace and the other
with a baby grand piano for evening sing-a-longs, provide family and
friends a place to visit.
Decks off the upstairs bedrooms overlook a pastoral setting and
provide secluded areas for relaxation.

traveler reviews for this mena house rental

We Love the Forest Gate!!!

Dixie (East Texas)
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

Grant Parish Family (Grant Parish, Louisiana, USA)
Review submitted: June 4, 2012   Date of arrival: May 31, 2012

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!
