Visiting family
This is our third time staying here over the last three years, i have no complaints. It is always very well stocked with pot, pans ect. Very clean. The AC was great, we always do bring fans with us but we always have fans running at home too. Always stay here when in arkcity.

Warm Summer Days
Good to have a "place of our own" when we come to town, rather than a hotel room. The kitchen could be better supplied with cooking tools (pots, pans, maybe an mixer) and the AC had a tough time keeping up with the 100+ degree days. We do prefer to get groceries and cook, rather than eat out a lot.

Lovely home in quiet neighborhood
We loved staying at this adorable, wonderfully restored home. Everything was clean and well thought out. The hosts were so thoughtful providing cookies and a sweet note about our visit. It was within walking distance to a fantastic little coffee shop. My family and I all agreed when we return to the area we are definitely staying here again.

Nice quiet place to stay with family
Nice Quiet place to stay with family and catch up it's just around the corner from a grocery store. It's in a good neighborhood also located just a few blocks from what looked like a police station.

Perfect Ark City Stay!
The Charming Chestnut is the perfect place to stay when visiting Ark City. The host, Rachelle, couldn't be more accommodating. All the bedrooms are upstairs along with one full bathroom. The bathroom is a good size and was stocked with everything we needed. The main level was very charming, just as the name says. We enjoyed games with the family around the large dining room table, cooked a build-your-own-tacos for everyone in the well stocked kitchen, and had everything we needed in the laundry room/mud room. The coziness of the home provided the best rest and relaxation between the busyness of family fun. All the beds were comfortable with super soft sheets, and the couches in the living room for those casual moments. We especially enjoyed all the extras. To name just a few: we arrived to a beautiful box of iced sugar cookies decorated like the Charming Chestnut (so cute!), the house was decorated in lovely Christmas charm including a lit tree in the living room, and each bedroom has charger stations with plenty of plugs for USB and standard connectors. Oh, and when I needed to ask the host a question that involved a change in our number of family staying with us, the host replied in like 5 minutes (seriously), and was 100% accommodating! Overall, just a really comfortable, welcoming, and amazing place! Thank you, Rachelle!

Pleasant Home
The home was more spacious than anticipated. Cozy. Comfortable. Roomy. Soft Sheets. Kitchen ware FULLY stocked. We had 6 people (3 males & 3 females) in our party during the stay. Had to manage the bathroom time. 1.5 Bath was just a bit snug. But, we knew it going in. Wonderful place. Highly recommended.

The inside of the house was very nice. There were plenty of restaurants and grocery stores near by. There was a park nearby that had an old train steam engine that was a hit with my husband.

Nice place in Ark City
This home was so nicely decorated and warm, inviting and comfortable. We each had our own room. If you are traveling with kids, this would be perfect since there is a kids room that is so cute. The kitchen is well stocked and even provided kurig coffee pods. Wish we had more time to sit on the porches! There is an upper and lower porch. Just an overall charming home.

We had a little trouble with keyless entry but Rachel took care of it in a very timely manner. The only negative is no hand rail for the stairs. I use a cane after a hip replacement and was not comfortable using the stairs. Everything else was very enjoyable.
