The cabin was great. It was clean, well stocked, and very comfortable. Just a short walk to the creek,( us cajuns say bayou), everything was spot on. Kitty was the best. She inquired if we needed anything but she and Fish had already taken care pretty much everything. We would definitely recommend to any and everyone. You won't be disappointed. If there was a negative, it would be the driveway, a bit steep, but not a game changer for sure. Thank you Kitty and Fish, God bless.

Kitty was very easy to work with, she thought of everything a traveler would need! Kitty left detailed directions from the property to the trails for UTV's, the property is also set up to park your trailer and leave it while you enjoy the trails and town.

Adventure and Relaxation
We recently spent the 4th of July at this wonderful cabin nestled just outside of Mena within a serene spot that felt like a private retreat. Highlights of our stay:4th if July Fireworks Show: We were delighted to watch the camp host’s 4th of July fireworks right from the spacious yard—what a magical surprise!Room to Roam: The large yard was perfect for our dogs and grandson to explore and play. Our pups especially loved splashing around the creek—it was a true pet-friendly haven.Outdoor Adventure: We fished along Prairie Creek,Plus, the provided map made our SxS ride to Wolf Pen Gap and Fourche Mountain trails a breeze about 15 minutes away and was so convenient. Cozy Amenities: With a well-equipped kitchen, welcoming deck and grill, it was easy to feel at home. The cabin was clean, thoughtfully stocked, and exactly as advertised. The fresh baked cookies to welcome you was a thoughtful touch. Kitty & Fish were amazing and made sure were had everything we needed. It was a truly relaxing and fulfilling family escape, mixing peaceful downtime with outdoor fun. Our grandson and four-legged companions were in heaven. Highly recommend Prairie Creek Cabin for anyone seeking a tranquil nature retreat close to amenities and adventure.

WOLF PEN GAP & BOARD CAMP
We traveled to Mena for the ATV TRAILS and CRYSTAL MINING. This cabin is perfect for 2 that plan to spend the day exploring all Mena has to offer. Neighborhood was beautiful but still rural with plenty of space between you and the next lot. Back deck overlooking field that leads to the creek. Cabin is equipped with everything you need. We chose to pick up groceries in town at Walmart and prepare our meals for the weekend. Cabin bed and pillows were very comfortable. Please note this is a cabin. The shower is a single person stand shower and the bathroom is very small. Everything was VERY CLEAN, well decorated and equipped. Kitty was very responsive and had everything we needed for our stay!

Birthday Getaway
Perfect place to unwind and getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The cabin is little but was clean, cute, and well stocked with everything we needed for the weekend. Kitty was great to work with, communicating regularly and making sure everything was up to par. Several little things were a pleasant surprise such as homemade snickerdoodles, pine knot for the fire pit, stocked coffee pods, fishing gear, etc. Beautiful and serene place.
