The Cottrell Cottage
Built around 1910, you’ll go back in time when you step foot in this newly restored Dogtrot Cottage. Sitting on top of a mountain in Shirley, this is one of the few dogtrots still standing in Arkansas. The house was originally designed with open-ended passage that runs through the center of a house, flanked by two enclosed living spaces. The living room has been restored to how it would have looked in the early 1900’s. Each room in the house is themed for a different decade. The home sits on 1 acre of land with plenty of room for parking cars, ATVs, boats, etc. Two screened in porches and a large covered front porch makes it ideal for outdoor enjoyment. For an additional $35 fee, you can have private access to our riverfront land on the Middle Fork of the Little Red River about a 3.5 mile drive from the house.

We had a wonderful stay and can’t wait to return! Everything was exactly as advertised and very cleanly. It has the cutest decorations & I don’t believe I’ve ever slept... read more with a comfier pillow. The seclusion was exactly what my daughter and I needed. But, you’re not too far if you want to get out, or go get something to eat. Emily was incredibly nice & available instantly if you need to reach her. Thank you for everything and we can’t wait to return!

This was a nice, relaxing place to stay after a long day of driving. Wish we'd been prepared more to get a license to fish. The decor is... read more unique and interesting and you can tell that this family has a lot of fond memories gathering there. We will be back!

The whole place was cute. The kitchen was well equipped. It was very peaceful. It’s in a tucked away location but still really close to restaurants, grocery stores and... read more shopping.

We had a really awesome time staying here! It was spacious and easy to get to. We loved the fishing decor and design. Our two dogs had a blast in... read more the yard, I know they didn’t want to leave! We had fun fishing and taking the canoe out on the lake. The people in Mayflower were nice and we enjoyed being in a small town. We were also a short drive to both Conway and Little Rock. We would stay here again if we were in the area no doubt!

This place is superclean, comfortable, in a quiet peaceful neighborhood. The lake is covered with Lilly pads so it's hard to fish, but that would be out of... read more the owner's control.

Such a great place to stay! It’s right outside the park entrance, spotless and homey and has plenty of room to spread out and play.
I definitely came... read more for the retreat aspect and just brought the dog with me, but I’d absolutely come back with family or friends!
Kitchen is fully stocked with just about every pot, pan and non-speciality utensil you could need. Plenty of dishes and servingware, too! Little extra touches and “in case you forgot yours” things (salt and pepper were the things I forgot) make the whole house great!
On top of the fun theme, everything is great quality: Egyptian cotton towels, great, solid, new mattresses, feather pillows and spare fans in every bedroom. And the master shower is outstanding!
Pet friendly - they even had dog bowls - and really private. You might leash up at first if your dog is a “chaser of things,” though! We had a little possum and troupe of does visit in the back during our visit.
Outdoor cooking area is fantastic! I didn’t have grilling or smoker ambitions this time, but the fire pit was a lot of fun.Katherine
