Sassafras Inn

Highly Rated Great place to stay with amazing hosts, in a nice room and historic property. It is close to everything.

The magnolia suite was a luxurious escape during our exploration of Arkansas. Darren is a true local knowledge font and his blueberry muffins are the absolute best! The Inn was recommended by friends and it is everything they described. Wonderful visit.

Knowledgeable and friendly owner The owner is exceedingly knowledgeable of the restaurants, history and connections of the area. He and his wife clearly love what they do and Darren is an excellent blueberry muffin maker.

Great Inn Darren, the homeowner and innkeeper, met us at the door to this lovely home/inn. He welcomed us with a smile and conversation about the history behind Sassafras Inn and Mena, We sat and visited for about an hour. Our suite was extremely large, (2 rooms), complete with coffee and refrigerator. He then provided us with his homemade, organic blueberry muffins that were to die for. Very cozy atmosphere and a soft bed was just the remedy for a long day in the road. Highly recommend this wonderful place. Will stay again!!

Happy to have stayed. We booked this last minute and are very happy with our stay. Kids loved the big yard that they could play and run around in.

The Sassafras Inn is exceptional! First and foremost, Darren and Jillian are wonderful! They are incredibly friendly and accommodating. Darren went out of his way to recommend surrounding restaurants in the area. Jillian has a baking business, and they offer free goodies she bakes at the grab n go coffee area! We didn’t get to try too many as the other guests thoroughly enjoyed what she put out, but what we did was amazing! The house itself is beautiful and furnished with antiques, which is always a plus for a history lover. We booked the Veranda room. It was a smallish room with a king bed (which was super comfortable, best sleep I’ve ever gotten traveling). The bathroom is outside of the bedroom, but it’s in an offset hallway. The bathroom was spacious and clean, and the toilet paper even had one of the cute little stamps imprinted in it. The veranda/balcony is right off of the bedroom and is stunning. The house was a little cold, but it was no problem as the bedroom has a space heater! Overall, the stay was comfortable and relaxing.
