Our room was beautiful! It was very cozy and clean. The staff were instantly responsive. I really liked the check-in process. I received a text at checkin time explaining how to get in. They also have lots of rock hounding equipment to borrow for using at the nearby crystal mines. There was a delicious Mexican restaurant within walking distance. They even have $1 Taco Tuesday night! I would 💯 percent recommend staying at the Rock Hound Boutique.

The room was very pretty. Nice tub with bath salts. Quiet. Restaurants within walking distance. Comfortable bed. Nice yard. Improvements would be some bubble bath. Drawers for clothing. Something to hang clothes An armoire if there is room or a coat rack would help. Thanks

We loved staying at the Rockhound, it was perfect for everything we needed. My only suggestion would be to add a blackout curtain to block the streetlight across the road. Other than that it was the perfect little getaway!

This was our second stay, and within two weeks of our first stay, at the Rockhound. It was so convenient & enjoyable the first time that we had to get back before the summer ended! My husband & I found tons of gorgeous crystals at the Avatar mine & at Crystal Vista, and the ability to clean them up in the Rockhound’s garden is an amazing amenity. As is the bathroom— the shower & bathtub are the ultimate way to end a day of climbing and mining, as I believe I stated in my last review. Can’t be overstated! The staff are fantastic; they’re gracious and helpful. Overall, we can’t wait till we can get back!

Beautiful Perfect Room!
This is one of my very favorite hotels of all time! I believe there are just 3 beautifully renovated rooms in a historic building. From the lovely wallpaper to the gorgeous and comfortable bed, to all the little amenities, to the fabulous bathroom - the value is incredible. There is even a pretty little courtyard where you can relax. If you are there on a Saturday you can walk about 100 steps to the courthouse where they have live music in the evening. I wasn’t sure how check in would work but they will text you with info on how to open your room and you just park out front.
One of the friendly kitties who greeted me each day!

We stayed at the Rockhound Boutique after a day of quartz mining. Check-in & entry were a breeze. Only one (micro) issue-- there was no toilet paper in our room. I texted to ask for some and literally within seconds we had toilet paper & a sincere apology delivered to our door. Excellent response time from the owners! Our room was luxuriously adorable and had everything we needed to recover from a swelteringly hot day at the mine. I have never enjoyed a shower, followed by a bath in the AMAZING bathtub, more. Everything about our experience at the Rockhound was spot-on. The graciousness of the owners was obvious throughout our stay. Cannot wait to go back; the Rockhound will be our go-to for mining getaways for my husband & me. We used to suffer through hot nights in tents to be near mines, now we know (& sleep) better!

This was the most fun and charming little find in Mt. Ida. After dropping my kiddos off at nearby Camp Ozark, I needed a quiet place to stay for the evening without driving back to Hot Springs. This is only a couple of miles down the road, I could pull straight up to my door and the room is so charming. It had everything I needed and more - the owners have thought of everything! I couldn't believe all that I got for the price. They have a gem here. Highly recommend an evening or 2 at this lovely little place.

We are already planning a return trip; that should speak volumes. It's within easy walking distance of the outdoor Front Porch stage, where local and regional bands play mostly roots Americana on Saturday nights all summer long.

The property was ADORABLE! Such a great vibe and style; exactly what I needed for the night before picking my daughter up from Camp Ozark. It was clean, comfortable, and so easy to check in. etc... everything was contactless but I was confident with all of the information given and texts I received, that if I needed anything, I did not need to worry. I sent pics to my family and friends and they all replied, "OBSESSED!" and "Where is that?" The ONLY point I would mention, although I truly appreciate a well lit outer area, especially as a single woman; there is some light that shines in through the curtain from the street light. I think it was already a difficult sleep night in general due to my long drive and excitement to pick up my daughter, but perhaps a pull-down shade or some kind of option for the window would be helpful? I feel bad mentioning is because it was a perfect stay in every other way...just light coming in through the window with those beautiful curtains.

The room was spectacularly clean! Everything was beautiful and comfortable. The decor was adorable. We enjoyed the hot coffee, tea, and the deep soaker tub after a hard day of digging for diamonds. We loved the location as it was so close to local shops and eateries. The side garden where you could borrow mining equipment and clean your finds was perfect. Enjoyed the firepit and had smores with neighbors! 5 stars, if ever up there again, will absolutely stay there again!
