Great spot for a float!

We spent two nights at this property for our float trip. It was perfect size for our group of two adults and three teens. The second bathroom was a huge plus! Location was great, a quick walk or short drive to really anywhere you could want to go.

Good Choice in Van Buren. Nice to have a pet and family friendly option in Van Buren for floating the Current River. Unless you are camping, there aren't many lodging choices in the Van Buren/Eminence area. Add in pets, and your choices are even fewer. It is evident that the owners care about this property; thoughtful items such as q-tips (thank you!!!) games, and extra bedding are appreciated. Cute decor. I can tell they had fun remodeling and decorating. It felt clean. Suggestions: a larger bed option. At least 1 queen bed would be nice. Better mattresses would be wonderful rather than foam laid over mattresses. Bedskirts or better bedframes would enhance your attention to detail. Nicer pots and pans. New matching towels and washcloths. Cleaner front porch. Keypad on front door is worn and hard to see numbers to enter code. Yes - I am being picky, but the owners have worked so hard on this older home that a few tweaks would really up the game. A few upgrades would make this home top of the list in Van Buren. I am from this area - the natural beauty of the river and springs are spectacular and hidden gems. Sadly, the small towns have suffered great decline for various reasons, and rely heavily on tourism. Manage your expectations - this is an older home in a tiny town that is struggling. But GO- STAY HERE- SUPPORT THE LOCAL BUSINESSES. It is a wonderful family get-away. Thank you to the owners for working so hard on this property.

Great place to stay!

My family was in gown for wedding. I had to have a place that welcomed pets, so this was ideal! One of my sisters rented the property next door, making it soooooo convenient to visit. Loved having a fire pit!! We shared our place with my brother and his wife. For our weekend stay, two nights, two bedrooms, two baths, and Charlie the rescued Staffy , we spent less than it would have cost one couple at The Landing!

Cute house

Its a cute house, has everything you’d need. Nice front porch. No problems, everything was as advertised. Only critique would be the side chairs in the living room, a bit small and not super comfy but that’s a nit picky complaint.

Long weekend get away

We enjoyed the stay at the property. Clean, easy to find, great location. The only "hiccup" was that there was no bath toiletries (shower soap, shampoo etc. No coffee or laundry soap. Not a huge deal, but we were under the impression it would be there. We left those items that were needed for future visitors, with the exception of laundry soap. We have already talked about a future visit to the property in the summer. Thank you for having us, we look forward to our next stay.
