"Loved everything about our stay! The room was well maintained and even serviced during our stay! The lobby has the CUTEST snack area! The breakfast was the best hotel breakfast I’ve had in YEARS! (Even if there weren’t bagels 😂). I stay in fort smith multiple times a year and this may just have become my default choice."

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Fort Smith

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent staff, clean rooms and amenities, and restful sleep."

The Stone House / near ACHE and Ft Chaffee / sleeps 9 / King bed / garage

10/10 Excellent

"Really great house in a very quiet neighborhood! Had everything we needed and was very clean! Appreciate the promptness of communication with the host. The only downside for us was the mattress in the master bedroom, which was extremely firm. Some guests may love that level of support, but we prefer our mattresses to have at least a little forgiveness. Maybe a foam mattress topper would help. "

Relax at spacious 4 bedroom private lake home in Chaffee Crossing!

10/10 Excellent

"Very spacious and clean! Perfect for our whole family!"
