This is a great place to stay in Mena. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. I will be staying there in the future.
Verified review

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!!

Great Hosts

The hosts were so friendly and attentive. They are still involved with a few renovation projects but it didn’t impact our stay. We were just a one night stay. We would recommend this Inn for other travelers.

Amazing Host & Accommodations

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at the Sassafras Inn! Darren, the owner was super-welcoming and offered so much more than we ever expected. He was a wonderful wealth of information about restaurants and things to see and do in the area. His wife made wonderful blueberry streusal muffins that our entire family loved. The rooms were very comfy as well. We will definitely be coming back one day!
