Built in 1900, restored the last couple of years. Antiques. Friendly host. Blueberry muffins. Yum.

Beautiful home and amazing hosts!

First and foremost, Darren and Jillian are wonderful! They are incredibly friendly and accommodating. Darren went out of his way to recommend surrounding restaurants in the area. Jillian has a baking business, and they offer free goodies she bakes at the grab n go coffee area! We didn’t get to try too many as the other guests thoroughly enjoyed what she put out, but what we did was amazing! The house itself is beautiful and furnished with antiques, which is always a plus for a history lover. We booked the Veranda room. It was a smallish room with a king bed (which was super comfortable, best sleep I’ve ever gotten traveling). The bathroom is outside of the bedroom, but it’s in an offset hallway. The bathroom was spacious and clean, and the toilet paper even had one of the cute little stamps imprinted in it. The veranda/balcony is right off of the bedroom and is stunning. The house was a little cold, but it was no problem as the bedroom has a space heater! Overall, the stay was comfortable and relaxing.

I was in a bind without a single hotel in Mena, AR having a vacancy. When I called, Mr. O'Bannon was extremely helpful in working with me to fit my trip into their available vacancies. The hosts were very thorough in explaining how to access the bed 'n breakfast and my room upon arrival. The accommodations were impeccably clean. Many of the furnishings in the the inn were antiques, and the style of decorating was charming, making one feel at home. I found the hosts very easy to engage in conversation, and I enjoyed several opportunities to compare lives and travel. Mr. O'Bannon is very knowledgeable of history and had many stories to share. Mrs. O'Bannon also runs a made-to-order bakery in the inn - many times I arrived to a pleasant aroma of freshly-baked goods coming from the kitchen. Both hosts were eager to make sure that I was comfortable with the accommodations and checked several times to see if I needed anything. I was made to feel like a part of the "family" at the inn, and I enjoyed meeting their pets. All in all, it was a very pleasant and comfortable stay that I had at the Sassafras Inn, and I highly recommend it for your stay!

Upon our arrival we were treated like family. A beautiful Inn with both history and charm.

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.

Extremely Hospitable. Highly recommend.

They are such a nice couple. They exceeded any expectations I had. Wish we could have stayed longer.

This home is just beautiful. The host could not have been kinder or more accomdating. We had a late arrival and he was kind enough to find a restaurant open for us. Darren had wonderful instructions for parking, entrance and utilization of the home. The bathrooms were well equipped. We will definitely stay again. Thank you!

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.

We booked this last minute and are very happy with our stay. Kids loved the big yard that they could play and run around in.

We loved how the owner keeps all the furnishings period correct for this home built in 1900. The owner is very welcoming and clearly takes pride in their beautiful inn.

Excellent stat beautiful house super friendly folks very welcoming

It was very clean and the hostess was amazing they live in the house I don’t think it said anything about that on there so it was a little different but overall it was great..

It was amazing. The inn is gorgeous and inviting our suite was beautiful, the parlor, kitchen, and dining area were equally as beautiful. The beds were extremely comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for better.

I enjoyed the property, however there were no accessibility considerations. No handrails, no ramp for wheelchair entry, not even a slip mat in the bathtub. I planned this trip for my mother, who is turning 80, and on disability income. It was very difficult for her to go up and down the stairs, and was unable to bathe, as there was no slip mat in the tub.

What a lovely place! Definitely worth going back.

Our suite was unique and away from others.

Beautiful house! Toilet handle was broken but all in all nice place to stay.

Privacy. Secluded back deck.

Rooms were nice and cozy. Outside of house was unkept.

Everything was just perfect - would definitely stay again and recommend to others
