The Grotto - Family-sized retreat on 10 acres of pristine forest. Pet friendly!

ESCAPE TO THE GROTTO
Your four-bedroom retreat awaits on 10 acres of pristine forest in the Ouachita mountains. Completely renovated, enjoy the finest comforts and the most thoughtful touches, all in a breathtaking setting that will recharge your soul. (Pets welcomed too!)

Tucked at the end of a winding country road, you will be just minutes from quaint Mt. Ida, Lake Ouachita, bike trails, crystal mines, and more.
