This trip to Bella Vista and the stay in Linda’ s cabin-like home was a real retreat and way to escape the world and its tribulations. We refused to watch TV or be on our phones, but went for walks around the neighborhood along with our busy dachshund who kept sniffing everywhere ( until he discovered the armadillo mom and baby by the cabin!) Linda provides so much for her guests’ comfort…and cleanliness everywhere. Linda’s artwork take you into her world which is marked by the seasons in NWA and NE Oklahoma. We arrived on the property in the dark, under rain, thunder and lightning. After we settled in,we sat in the porch until past midnight and sat mesmerized by the spectacle of rain falling in the woods across the road, and an invisible waning moon and the sounds of birds, crickets, cicadas? We went for walks in the evenings absorbing every sound, every scent, everyWe left the property after a walk, a little after sunrise,with thankfulness in our hearts, and ready to brave the long road back to Houston. I write this review 2 twodays after our return- my husband ready to go to OR at Memorial Hermann, my doxie dreaming of encounters with armadillos and me …Blessed is God King of the Universe who took us all the way to Linda’s cabin and brought us home safely.Linda, we never got to identify the trees that surround the cabin - let us know, please.
