The house was perfect. Very clean,cozy and comfortable. The host was very attentive and gave great directions. I would give it a 10 of 10. Will stay again next time I visit relatives in searcy.
Enjoyed our stay. Easy to access and good location. The only thing I would suggest is a lock for the bathroom door. But it is a quaint, enjoyable place to stay.
Everything about the Grate House was perfect! The home was decorated beautifully, communication from the host excellent, neighborhood was quiet and close to Harding. Definitely will be back!
We had the opportunity to stay at the Grate House on a visit to Harding University. It was a perfect location close to everything we needed and a nice cozy place to stay while visiting. The hosts communicated everything we needed and the checking and check out was seamless. Highly recommend!

About the host
Hosted by Tyler Curtis
We’re a husband-and-wife team calling Searcy, Arkansas home. I grew up here, and my wife is originally from Georgetown, Texas. We met at Harding University and fell in love with this community’s small-town charm.
I work as a general contractor and spend my free time playing sports, hunting, and fishing. My wife practices physical therapy at the local clinic and, when she’s off, you’ll find her mountain biking, snowboarding, or sipping coffee with our doodle by her side.
Together, we pour our passions into hosting. I build the shell of each home, and my wife infuses it with warmth, character, and thoughtful touches. Our goal is to create a relaxing, welcoming space where families can unwind, explore, and make lifelong memories.
