Nestled on 830 acres, but just a couple miles south of town, this completely renovated, historic cottage has all the modern amenities. It features an open floor plan that spans 40 feet from front to back upstairs, in one of the most peaceful and natural, tree top settings. It also has two covered/ screened in decks with a 16' bar perfect for enjoying the amazing scenery and the beauty of The Natural State. It's the perfect place for your next family gathering, or just to get away and relax. Located about a mile uphill from the new WOKA Whitewater Kayak Park, and right next to all the new trails, this historic cottage, originally built in 1904, has been completely renovated, while maintaining its original charm. Enjoy amazing views from all around, but especially from the screen in decks overlooking a steep wooded hillside/ valley. As well as a one of kind hot & cold outdoor shower on bottom deck/ screened in porch off back bedroom downstairs. Set amongst 830 acres of the historic Lake Frances property near Siloam Springs, AR, the area is now known as the Lake Frances Preserve, for wildlife habitat, water quality, and future public access. The property was purchased from the descendants of Frances Sloan Thomas, for whom the lake was named, and is the largest tract purchased by NWALT to date, making it their biggest conservation property in Benton County. The preserve lies on the Arkansas/Oklahoma border east of the Illinois River and the former 70-acre Lake Frances. It is one of the largest tracts of contiguous forest in western Benton County and is considered one of the most significant pine/oak woodlands in Northwest Arkansas. There is also a large post oak savanna of regional conservation significance along Lake Frances Gate Rd. “Permanently protecting the Lake Frances property ensures a piece of Benton County’s natural heritage is protected forever. The shortleaf pine stands and oak savanna are unique in our region and help tell the story of what it was like here nearly 200 years ago,” said Marson Nance, Director of Land Stewardship and Research. “We’ve already found unique plants on the property but have barely scratched the surface in documenting the land’s biodiversity.” Lake Frances Preserve has over seven miles of mapped streams, much of which consists of seasonal and ephemeral streams which support an abundance of plants and wildlife. Permanent protection of these streams and their habitats will help protect water quality in the Illinois River.
The place is BETTER than the photos. It's very clean and very homey. We all felt very comfortable. The screened in porches allowed us to do birdwatching and just truly relax. The soaking tub and outdoor shower made us feel luxurious. Our hosts are very kind and thoughtful. We loved our stay. This is perfect for nature lovers.
If you are looking for beauty, peace and quite this is your place! Being able to sit out in the morning or evening on the screened in porch. While you heard the birds chirping, wind rustling in the trees and the train going down the tracks in the distant. While taking the time to look at the magazines provide by the host. The host thought of all the little things that made my qet away where I didn't have to go anywhere once I got there! Added bonus! Coffee! They even had a fan for us "white noise" people!

This was our second time staying at Gwen’s Nest. We just love it! Not only is the cottage beautiful and clean but it’s also very peaceful and relaxing. It’s a great place for a getaway from all the hustle, bustle and demands of daily life. The description says that it’s nestled in woods and it definitely is! That’s part of what makes it so peaceful. Sitting on one of the screened in porches and enjoying all the sounds of nature helps relax the mind and refresh from the daily grind. Todd was a responsive and helpful host. We had a wonderful weekend.
We loved our stay at Gwen's Nest. It's a luxurious place to get out of the city and reconnect with nature. Thank you so much!
Located just south of Siloam Springs in the historic Lake Francis area amongst only a few other properties not owned by the NWA Land Trust. Easy to access from HWY 59, but you will feel like you are the only one around in the rural setting. Just up the road/ hill from the new kayak park opening Spring of 2023.
