Wonderful place! First time to stay in Rider’s Den Cottage. My husband worked from there on Friday, & was able to sit out on the patio and enjoy the beautiful Spring weather, & the chickens visited while he worked! So fun!

Comfortable, Convenient & Cookies

As a Mena native, who comes home occasionally to visit, this property is perfect. With the added ease of multiple rooms on site, everyone was able to be together and yet have privacy. The property is beautiful, quiet and built for quality time together. Check in was as simple as a text message, and there were fresh cookies waiting! The rooms were incredibly comfortable, and a great value for an overnight stay. 13/10 recommend---look forward to staying here again!

Beautiful Property and Room

I loved the feeling of this property and cottage like yard. The room was small but clean and the music playing and homemade cookies waiting for us was a nice touch. There was a small fenced in garden with chickens running around right outside our window, that made it feel homey. There are several other rooms to rent on the property but it still felt secluded. We would definitely stay here again if we were in the area.

Great little place

We were hoping to catch the fall foliage but three days of rain and fog meant no scenic views of the mountains. Despite that we still enjoyed our stay. Great little cottage for two. Easy walk to downtown Mena. Beautiful yard and garden - fun watching the chickens. Everything was spotless and all we needed.
