The Upstairs Hideaway

Relax and refresh at the Upstairs Hideaway on Whittington. Conveniently located in downtown Mount Ida within walking distance of restaurants, shops, parks and the museum. Just minutes away from Lake Ouachita and crystal digs.

Newly constructed upstairs apartment with open living room/kitchen area with queen sleeper sofa. Bedroom with bunk beds and closet space. Many comfy pillows and blankets available. Kitchen well stocked with dishes and cooking utensils, pots and pans, ice maker, condiments, reverse osmosis system for drinking water and ice and a dishwasher. Bathroom has large shower, good lighting, a hair dryer and small containers of necessities just in case. Out on the patio there is a gas grill and a wood firepit.

Behind the apartment is a perfect place to wash crystals, dirty boots, dirty kids, etc. A water hose and tubs are available. If you would like to use the gas grill just ask for the propane cylinder and I will hook it up. There is also an extra stall in the ground floor garage which can be used to store large valuables like bicycles or park your car inside during bad weather.

Great Place, Thoughtful Hosts

My wife and son and I stayed here one night before we picked up our daughter from Camp Ozark. The check in process was simple, the property was VERY well stocked (plenty of linens, toiletries, etc...), and it was just as advertised. There are lots of activities and things to do in this area, and the hosts have done a great job compiling brochures, information, and their recommendations for those activities and local restaurants. I would definitely recommend this property and stay here again.

This is a great place to stay!

My husband and I loved staying at the upstairs hideaway. The first positive we noticed after arriving was that it was nice and clean. You can tell that the host took the extra time to make sure that even the small things were taken care of. Aside from the hideaway being so clean, it was a comfortable place to stay. It felt very safe and I was able to fully relax and sleep well while staying there. Checking in and out was a breeze and the host was very kind and down to earth. Aside from the physical place that we stayed in, we were takenhe state of Arkansas is absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend that everyone plan a trip to Arkansas and stay at the Upstairs hideaway when you go! You will not be disappointed!

Peaceful and quaint

The property is set in a beautiful quiet area, the interior of the property and exterior of the property are new and very upgraded. Fabulous kitchen, amazing bathroom, almost better than home. The outside property was easy to access with seating and a fire pit and also a grill. Couldn't ask for a better place to stay it was amazing thank you Paula for everything
