Very nice place! We stayed in the cottage - the bedroom had a large bed, nice living space with multiple TV options, bathroom and kitchen were stocked with the basics you need. You could easily stay for an extended visit in this space. The owners were very friendly and breakfast was good and served piping hot. Location is great too - short walk or drive from multiple restaurants and a fabulous little ice cream shop, as well as a nice park with playground, koi pond and space to walk or jog. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back next year for fall foliage season!

We never stayed at a B&B before Jo and John, and Cool the dog were gracious hosts and Chef John made some great breakfast meals. House is right across the street fro a nice park as well. We stayed in the Ft Worth house which is separate from the main house. Would recommend for anyone traveling in the Mena area

My wife and I decided to take a last-minute motorcycle trip to Mena. Janssen Park had great reviews, boasting a perfect 10 out of 10 on Expedia, so we were glad we booked it. We arrived around 5 PM and found John sitting on the wraparound porch waiting for us. He upgraded us to the bungalow since there were no other guests at the time. We really enjoyed our stay. John drove us to town for some delicious pizza and made an exceptional breakfast of German pancakes. He is super friendly and easy to talk to. Thanks again, John! We look forward to our next stay with you.

Most restaurants are closed on Monday. The ones we did find were OK, but not great. The cabin was somewhat clean, with the exception of dirty baseboards, entrance door, and such. Sinks, tub, and refrigerator were very clean, but pretty much outdated. It was good to find an icemaker full of ice.
