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.

I was impressed with the great craftsmanship of the apartment. It was very well equipped with lots of extras- there were cooking ware that you could cook anything you would want, plus a grill if you want! There were extra pillows, linens, towels, TP, etc. Anything you might need! In back there was a nice space for cleaning rocks- with a strainer and variety of brushes as well. I sat on the patio in the evenings and one night got to listen to pee wee football being announced over the loud speakers at the high school. It made me smile. The space was so comfortable and homey! Absolutely loved it!!! Thank you!

We needed a place to stay for one night so we could get a good night’s sleep and get up early. The primary purpose of an overnight rental is a safe & comfortable place to sleep. This one bedroom garage apartment has bunk beds in the only bedroom. Then a couch that pulls out into a full size bed in the living room. My spouse and I gave our son the bed in the living room and took the bedroom, of course. We suffered. The room was extremely stuffy- the overhead fan and light did not have separate controls. There was an air vent that rattled persistently which at least gave my husband some relief on the top bunk when it blew air. The bottom bunk was stifling. I’m not sure that I slept at all and my husband didn’t get much. There was not a decent pillow in the house. We were exhausted on the next day of our trip. (We used to carry a fan with us but every rental we stay at has one so we stopped.) Between the lack of comfortable sleeping arrangements to the atrociously outdated decor, I think this is the most disappointing rental we’ve had and certainly overpriced for what it is. Think “stuffy grandma’s house” and you’ve nailed it.

Absolutely perfect place. We were a little hesitant about sleeping on a pullout couch, but it was extremely comfortable and really fit. The host had so many little considerations that it felt like being in your friend’s house. Extremely clean every convenience you can think of.

Owner is nice, the property is clean and well decorated. The couch bed is like any other, not all that comfortable, but it worked out. Not many food options around and the only grocery store nearby is a bit overpriced.

Wonderful!

My friend and I made a special trip to go digging for quartz and diamonds and this was the perfect spot to stay! Paula's space was very clean, convenient, safe, and thoughtful. She was kind enough to leave some tools for us to borrow for our dig and recommended a great spot for swimming!! Definitely would recommend to anyone making a trip to Mt. Ida and I plan to stay again in the future.

Top Tier!

Amazing, comfortable and convenient! I have stayed in several places in the area the last few weeks and this is BY FAR the BEST! Honestly the pictures don’t do it justice at all. It is on the smaller side, but so cozy and brand new with high end fixtures and features. Beds were very comfortable and there were many extra blankets and sheets available. Everything was available for coffee and any other items you need for your stay. FYI: there is only room to park 2 cars so not to block the garage doors, but this was fine for us. Also, there was an extra twin mattress in the closet that was very helpful to us! Hope this is available when we come to the area again!!
