The Back Porch ~ Modern A-Frame with a View
The Back Porch A-Frame, with all the modern amenities, is conveniently located between Town Square and Blanchard Springs Caverns. Enjoy your time relaxing on the back porch that overlooks the beautiful Sylamore Creek Valley after a day of adventures in Mountain View!
Located between Court Square and Blanchard Springs Caverns in Mountain View, Arkansas, the Back Porch overlooks the Sylamore Creek Valley and is convenient to area attractions. The open concept living room has a wood burning stove and smart tv and is open to the well-stocked kitchen and dining area, all with a wall of windows to let in the natural light. The master bedroom is downstairs with queen bed. Just across the hall is the bathroom with tub/shower and full size washer/dryer. Atop the ladder from the living room is the open loft with a queen bed and a glorious view.

Rental Rules
~Primary guest must be age 25 or older
~Check in is 4:00 PM-10PM / Check out is 11:00 AM
~No Smoking in or near the Cabin
~Dogs are allowed, with $75 Pet Fee (2 dogs max, rules apply)
~No loud noise or parties
~Absolutely no UTV's, ATV’s, Trailers, or Campers allowed
~Number of guests cannot exceed the maximum occupancy as stated in the listing
~It should be noted that our properties are located in a rural and, in some cases, remote area of the Ozarks, where you will find many different forms of wildlife. Raccoons, deer, mice, snakes, eagles, wild hogs, black bear, skunks, and opossums are common, and may be a nuisance at certain times of the year. Other pests such as ants, wasps, mosquitos, spiders, bees, flies, and gnats also live nearby. Each property has a regular/quarterly pest control device, but we cannot guarantee against Guests seeing any animals or pests during their stay and no refunds will be made for this.
Pet Rules:
*Please clean up after your dog.
*Please do not allow your dog to bark excessively or to roam onto neighboring properties. Many of our homes are located near residential neighborhoods, and we must respect the comfort and privacy of those residents. Complaints may lead to eviction without refund.
*Please do not allow dogs on furniture or beds. It is also helpful to bring something (bed, blanket, etc.) on which you know your pet will be comfortable sleeping. Extra cleaning fees will be charged for furniture, blankets, comforters, etc. that have pet hair left behind.
*Please don’t leave your dog unattended for long periods of time. A crate is ideal for those situations in which you must leave. You are responsible for any damages your pet causes.
*Please ensure that your dog’s medications and immunizations are up-to-date, especially flea treatment.
