If you’re looking for a nice, historic B&B-like stay in Mena, this is your place. Clean, in-town, safe, and maintained by one of the most gregarious and informative owners I’ve encountered, Darren, this is a hidden gem - a home away from home. Be sure to try the blueberry muffins and head up the ridge for a sunset while you’re in town!

Great Inn

Darren, the homeowner and innkeeper, met us at the door to this lovely home/inn. He welcomed us with a smile and conversation about the history behind Sassafras Inn and Mena, We sat and visited for about an hour. Our suite was extremely large, (2 rooms), complete with coffee and refrigerator. He then provided us with his homemade, organic blueberry muffins that were to die for. Very cozy atmosphere and a soft bed was just the remedy for a long day in the road. Highly recommend this wonderful place. Will stay again!!

Unique and heartwarming

It was a very unique stay. We felt like home. We stayed in the magnolia suite with plenty of space and a coffee bar en suite. The people are just heartwarming and VERY caring. I hope we can come back - I adore the bakery in house and wish all the best luck in the world that it will be a great success.
