Vacation Rental 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 in the distance 
above the property and can be accessed from Main St. in Mena. 
     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

     Decks off the upstairs bedrooms overlook a pastoral setting and  
provide secluded areas for relaxation.
