Could no beat this location.

Great location within the Petite Jean Park. The property was great with big open yard for kids to play and a nice fire ring. Owner was responsive but we did not really need anything. Would stay there again. My only complaints was the grill was basically unusable(burners rusted out and very uneven flames) without a grill top skillet I had and their pots and pans could be improved to make cooking more pleasant. Also the kids complained about mattresses in their room with bunks and trundle. I agreed with them as I could feel springs on some more than others. Other bedrooms were good. Like I said I would stay there again but just some minor stuff to make things usable and comfortable.

Rustic gem!

Jeff and Sarah were awesome hosts. They were quick to respond, friendly, and helpful. The location was perfect for us as it was convenient to our relative and all the amenities of Petit Jean. The house was large and easily accomodated our group of 10. The house was well stocked with all we needed. We would definitely stay there again. accaaccomaccommodate

Quaint and Comfortable Property

We had a friend-cation and our entire group LOVED the location, the hiking, fishing, swimming, etc. The property owner was responsive and friendly. Kitchen was well-stocked with basic cooking utensils, pots, and pans. A/C worked well. If cell service is top priority, you may need to travel as the location is remote and not all of us had cell service. Wi-fi is available and of moderate speed. Overall, I would highly recommend this property. It was such an enjoyable location and quaint home. We would absolutely book again.

Filthy; Lacks Quality Cleaning Measures; If it rains, master bedroom may flood

I mean no ill-will towards owners; hope they take constructive feedback supported with number of pictures sent & hope they take action to correct. FILTHY is best description. Pics we sent included dirt around toilets, built up dust on ceiling fan blades, all shelving, TV’s, furniture, visible piles of dirt on rugs, dust on the nonworking vacuum, filth underneath the toilet seat; dirty bath rugs; very dirty floors. Not regular or construction dust from recent wall repair but built-up dust & dirt from lack of proper cleaning. The owner agreed dust was bad and refunded cleaning fee. We fixed the vacuum by removing impacted clogs in 3 sections & vacuumed the house & emptied the collection bin 4 X! We used Lysol wipes to clean the floor best we could! No doubt the place is cleaner than before but still needs deep cleaning. Other notable issues: Master Bedroom flooded with significant water intrusion from rainstorm; WIFI & Garbage instructions outdated; no mattress protectors, outdated pictures (no nice front sidewalk) previously complained about smelly garbage bin still full & draws flies. Fence for dog yard is GONE and area overgrown! Lots of potential if they get reliable cleaners & maintenance & quality controls in place. Refund was a bit more than cleaning fee but overall disappointing since we cleaned better than their person & we flooded that night. At a minimum, a considerate refund should have been cleaning fee plus one night's rent for the many inconveniences.

Perfect Family Getaway

We enjoyed hours using the firepit. The kids loved the loft and all the bedding choices and the trampoline. The inside of the home was spotless. The 3 bathrooms were a plus with all the family. The yard was more rustic. We were disappointed that the propane was empty but upon contacting the owner found that the spare that was provided was missing to her dismay. The location was better than ideal. It was private but close to park amenities and hiking. We also took a day trip to Hot Springs.

Construction site basically

Workers there when checked in. Dust from wood cutting and grout from floors being redone nails sticking out of wall. Trash bins full .. property owner very vague about the remodel and a miscommunication on the refund and then trying to charge for their workers leaving the trash bins full with no place to put its tried to be reasonable with them and not be a complainer until they tried to get greedy and charge me 100$ for trash being left in the only place left to leave which was a metal can we had to find to put it in. Then going back and forth with them for them to be rude and say I am looking for a free stay when I have rented the place before th no problems because it wasn’t being remodeled and a construction site at that time they got greedy trying to rent it out and fix their problems off someone else’s dime.

Family Christmas

This was an excellent choice for our family members to celebrate our 2022 Christmas together. At first, our entrance code did not work. It only took a quick phone call to the property manager to get it resolved. Very nicely decorated for the season. It was very well stocked and clean. The fireplace added a very nice touch for our pictures. We would go again if the opportunity arises.

Great Location

As advertised, Rock House Cabin at Petit Jean is a good place for a family to enjoy the natural beauty of the mountain top. The home is cozy, historic and eclectic, reflecting a vibe appreciated throughout the past century, yet boasting modern convenience and comfort. Many great opportunities for outdoors, especially proximity to the Rockhouse Cave, west YACC overlook and CCC overlook, are close by. The stone fire-pit at the home is nice, as are the porches on either end. Shopping is limited nearby, so pack in what you'll need. The kitchen is more than adequate for prep, with the majority of small appliances ready to use. If you'll be doing a lot of cutting/chopping, bring your own chef knives and board. We did and were thankful for it. The inside dining area is great, with seating for 8 and boasts a nice highchair for the little one. All in all, we recommend Rock House Cabin as a place for families who value being together and love the Natural State. Shalom!

Great House in a Great Location

We were looking for a reunion location near hiking, biking, food, and attractions. The Rock House near Petit Jean State Park, AR is perfect. The House is comfortable and easy for our group of eight. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable dining and sleeping facilities and supplies. No problems. We recommend the Rock House and hope to stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Jeff and Sarah Croswell

Meet the Croswell Crew and welcome to our family's Peace of Petit Jean! We are Jeff and Sarah Croswell, both native Arkansans, along with our seven wonderful children. Jeff, a graduate of University of Arkansas, is a Financial Advisor with Edward Jones and a Rotarian. Sarah is an 8th Grade Science Teacher, Student Council Advisor and UIL One Act Play Assistant Director. Our oldest son serves in the Air National Guard, is a Junior at Arkansas Tech University, and is the assistant manager of Dominos Pizza. Our oldest daughter is a senior nursing student at Baylor University. Our second daughter works part-time at Chipotle while working on her business marketing degree. We have a high school junior who is flight commander in the AFJROTC, runs cross-country, and is on the varsity tennis team. Our freshman son plays trumpet in the jazz band, is on the JV tennis team, and loves mountain biking. We also have a 5th grade son who plays football and a 4th grade daughter who excels in gymnastics and cheer.

Why they chose this property

The Rock House Cabin was our main residence until 2014, when we moved into town to be closer for all the children's activities. At one time this property served as home to Turtle Rock Farms--our family's Certified Naturally Grown pastured poultry and heirloom tomato farm and greenhouse. Petit Jean Mountain was always our favorite summer destination, so when we had the opportunity to purchase a cabin, we jumped on it. While remodeling, our family fell in love with the idea of living here more than just on the weekends, so we sold our house in Conway and made the move permanent. The original cabin had two bedrooms, one bath, one closet, and no flooring or central heat and air. In order to accommodate a family of our size, we added two bedrooms, two baths, several closets, central heat & air, two porches, new windows, flooring, a laundry room, siding, and remodeled the kitchen. This property has been a labor of love for us and we hope to always keep it in our family for getaways, parties, and reunions. Sharing the Rock House Cabin with others will ensure that our family's Peace of Petit Jean will be around for years to come.
