Historic Home Near Greers Ferry Lake: Pets Welcome
Guest rating: 4.9 / 5
Overview
The Magnolia House is a historic single-story vacation home in Quitman, Arkansas, set beneath a magnolia tree reported to be over 100 years old. It offers a relaxed, small-town base for exploring Greers Ferry Lake, blending old-home character with modern comforts across two bedrooms. The property is pet-friendly, making it a distinctive choice among lake-area rentals for travelers who don't want to leave their animals behind.
Rooms & Layout
The home sleeps guests across two bedrooms: one with a king bed and one with two full beds, suiting families, couples, or small groups traveling together. Living spaces include dining tables, a fireplace, board games and books, and smart TVs for downtime after a day at the lake. A deck with seating and a spacious yard extend the living area outdoors.
Kitchen & Amenities
The fully equipped kitchen includes a refrigerator, microwave, oven/stove, dishwasher, blender, toaster, drip and Keurig coffee makers, cooking basics, and dishware, so guests can prepare meals rather than dine out every night. A gas grill with propane provided sits ready for outdoor cooking, and the home also has washer/dryer, ironing board, central air conditioning and heating, and free Wi-Fi throughout.
Location
The Magnolia House is within walking distance of Quitman's restaurants and shops, including FAT Mamma's Pizza just 240 meters away, Amigo Loco Quitman Mexican Restaurant, Sonic Drive-In, Subway, and nearby seafood spots like Quitman Catfish Barn and Hensley's Fish Barn. It sits about 8 miles from Greers Ferry Lake and its boat ramps and marinas, 13 miles from Red Apple Inn & Country Club and Bridal Veil Falls, and roughly 15 miles from Heber Springs, with Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport around 59-73 miles away.
Best for
This home suits families and small groups looking for a relaxed lake getaway, thanks to its two-bedroom layout, spacious yard, and walkable access to casual local dining. It's also a strong fit for pet owners, since the property explicitly welcomes pets for a fee, and for travelers who want to self-cater using the fully equipped kitchen and grill.
Travel tips
Bring a vehicle, as the home relies on a carport (1 vehicle) and driveway (2 vehicles) for parking and many lake attractions like Greers Ferry Lake, Cove Creek Boat Ramp, and Bridal Veil Falls are several miles away. Restaurants and shops in Quitman, including FAT Mamma's Pizza and Amigo Loco, are close enough to walk to, which is handy for evenings when you don't want to drive. Note the home requires 4 steps to enter, so plan accordingly if traveling with heavy luggage or mobility considerations.
