The Inn At Mountain View

The day started as any other day but as we entered Mountain View and stopped in the parking area of the Inn at Mountain View our day became extra ordinary. Our stay in this lovely old mansion was a treat and our host served us a wonderful breakfast the next morning. We will stay again and encourage all to do so.

Just Wonderful. I have stayed at places all over the world, and I can can say that you won't be disappointed. Very relaxing.

A very pleasant B&B across from a park that has local and visitors strumming and picking blue grass at nite for all to enjoy. Very clean and quaint rooms with a great breakfast.

A most relaxing and comfortable stay. The breakfast was delicious! The Inn is cozy, interesting and very clean. I'd not hesitate to stay there again.

My friend and I stayed here for the Bluegrass Festival. Upon arrival, several members of one of the bands was at the house playing. The home is quite charming and the location is perfect.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for your review. The Bluegrass Festival is always a blast. So much fun we do it twice a year. In March and again in November. And sometimes the groups performing stay here at the Inn.

- Mark Nelson (innkeeper)

The Inn is apparently not always open in January. We had a group wanting about 6 rooms so Mark was nice enough to let us come but we only ended up with 4 rooms. All of the rooms were huge and could take 3-4 people in a family. The breakfast was large in quantity and quality of food.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thanks for your response! It was good to have somebody here in January!

- Mark Nelson (innkeeper)

Could not believe how inexpensive the room and the fact that it came with a huge breakfast and free music. Wonderful old Inn. We sat on the porch and watched the music unfold on the square. We have stayed other places in town, but it was nice to sit on the porch and know when the jams were happening on the square. We had a front row seat to the music!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
The front porch of the Inn seems to be one of the best places in the whole world to be! I should charge for just sitting on the front porch!

- Mark Nelson (innkeeper)

Everything was nice. We hada king room with a sleep number mattress. My husband are needing a mattress and we wanted to try a sleep number before we bouth one. My husband slept great at the 100 mark. I could not find a happy medium. 55, 45, 50 and the next morning I was in tears. I could bearly walk, both of my knees hurt emenesly and my elbows as well. NO to a sleep number bed. The food was delicious and the Inn Keeper Mark was very nice. Great atmosphere.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Sorry about the bed. You really have to sleep on one for several days to really know. All The Radisson Hotels have them. The level you had it set on was to low for most people. More support is needed. That's the beauty of it. It can be adjusted to suit you and regular beds cannot! Thanks for your input. I will pass it on to future guests.

We surely enjoyed our Thanksgiving vacation at the Inn At Mountain View. A very peaceful, relaxing stay it was. The breakfast is outstanding. I would recommend this place to anyone. Delightful!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We truly enjoyed having you stay with us Thanksgiving! A appreciate the review and recommendation.

- Mark Nelson (Innkeeper)

A beautiful room, overlooking the picking park. Gracious host. Enjoyed the rockers on the porch.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thanks for your review, the compliment, and glad you enjoyed the rocking chairs on the front porch!

The Inn at Moutain View is one of the most charming and inviting B & B we have had the good fortune to visit with. The breakfast was bountiful and delicious. Beautifuly appointed with antiques, comfortable beds and string muisical instruments for the talented.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank for your wonderful review and hope you have many more great stays at ours and others B&B's.

- Mark Nelson (Innkeeper)

Very convenient location for musicians who want to walk out onto the music square.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for your review. Musicians are our #1. priority in this town!!!

- Mark Nelson (Innkeeper)

Although Mountain View Arkansas is not the easiest place to get to it is well worth the effort. The music on the square is fantastic and the Ozark Folk Center is a wonderful educational facility. The Inn at Mountain View is centrally located and offers a friendly relaxing atmosphere that is geared toward the music lover. From the instruments hanging on the wall that guest are welcome to play to the local musicians that just stop by to have an impromptu jam session this Inn is about the music of Mountain View. The Inn is just across the street from the town square where every Friday and Saturday night during the season musicians from all across the country come to sit in groups and play music. You will find kids as youg as six years old and old vetrans well into their eighties jamming and playing together. This Inn is absolutely the best pace in Mountain View to stay!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for the wonderful review. We love living here for The Folk Center and the music. it's "The Folk Music Capital of the world" nestled up in the Ozark Mountains! Hope you come back soon!

- Mark Nelson (Innkeeper)

Enjoyed my stay here during the recent motorcycle rally. Could pave the parking lot to make it easier to mark motorcycles.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thanks for the review. The motorcycle weekend was great! Sorry about the gravel parking lot. We still have a lot of gravel roads up here. :-)

- Mark Nelson (Innkeeper)

We needed an get away that was quiet and close. We loved the Inn, Mark was exceptional! Music on the square enjoyable, shopping plenty. We will be back!! Thank you!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Gad I could accommodate you and it meet your getaway needs. We all need a little Mountain View from time to time!

- Mark Nelson (innkeeper)

We had never stayed in a B&B but were very glad we chose this inn to be our 1st time. We stayed in Rachel's loft and really liked the seculsion, but yet could be a part of the inn atomsphere when we wanted. The food was good and everyone was nice and helpful. Liked that breakfast was at 8:30 so you did not have to feel rushed to get up. It would have been helpful to have a listing of the TV stations included in the booklet in our room (which was a very good idea) and also a light on the wall over the other side of the bed for reading would have been nice. Overall Mark was a great innkeeper and the inn was beautiful. Hope to come back soon.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for the review and I will fix the two things you suggested. No Problem. Thanks

- Mark Nelson (innkeeper)

We stayed two nights and experienced the Mountain View music scene for the first time. The warm camaraderie at breakfast was exceeded only by the excellent food. Using the 'house' instruments we put together a Sunday morning sing-along in the living room which was great. We'll be back!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
What can I say, It's The Folk music capital of the world, and the Inn is right in the heart of it! Thank you for your review.

- Mark Nelson (innkeeper)

The Inn at Mountian View was just what we were looking for. We were in need of a quiet restful weekend and that is exactly what we recieved here. Mark is a very gracious host and very accomadating.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
I'm please to here, "It was just what you were looking for". Come back soon!

- Mark Nelson (innkeeper)

When I was planning my little turn through the area to visit a friend, I thought my family of 5 would have to stay in a subpar hotel in the nearby town of Batesville (my hometown, in fact), but upon searching for area B&B's, I discovered this not so little house on Mountain View's square. It was a lovely stay in a lovely room. The area is quiet and the grounds on which the house stands are really beautiful. I recommend it, heartily. My kids were welcomed and enjoyed the food and the spaces under the beds and the cable in the room.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for your review. Hope you come back and see us soon!

- Mark Nelson (innkeeper)

Although there wasn't much going on in town on a Sunday night, we loved this Inn. It was comfortable, the room was great and there was more than ample public space.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for your review!

- Mark Nelson (innkeeper)

Very restful place. Beautiful antiques. Bathroom a little cramped & needed new shower curtains. Our room (Grandmother's Attic) needed some freshening (comforter). Great food. Enjoyed the front porch the most-you could listen to musicians in the park.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for your review. The room will be upgraded soon.

- Mark Nelson (innkeeper)

We really enjoyed or two night stay! The service was great. And the food was just outstanding. It was our first time for a wonderful location in Mountain View.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for the review and I am glad you had a great stay and hope to see you again soon!

- Mark Nelson (innkeeper)

First of all, we are not a normal bed and breakfast couple. We didn't get to sample the food during our quick weekend visit (due to a scheduled fishing trip at Angler's resort with the hard working guide, Dean) the Garden Suite was fantastic and the two private entrances were a big plus. The location to the music could not have been better and the private parking lot was an added bonus. The next trip will have some time to relax and will be a couple days longer. Thanks Mark, for the great hospitality!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for your review, and yes the breakfast is a huge part of stay with me, but trout fishing on the river is great too! Come again when you can stay longer!

- Mark Nelson (innkeeper)

Comfortable and friendly, The Inn at Mountain View is an excellent place to stay and enjoy some Ozark Heritage!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for the excellent review. This is The Folk Music Capital of the world. There is also a lot of Bluegrass and Irish influenced music as well. I love living in the Ozarks. Hope you come back soon!

- Mark Nelson (innkeeper)

Everything was great. The room was nice. The location was excellent. Parking was a plus. Breakfast was wonderful. The information notebook in the room was a nice touch, it helped us to find a church to attend on Sunday. We will be back!!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for the review and staying with us, and attending a local church in the area. Our churches are always open to tourists attending.

- Mark Nelson (innkeeper)

First visit to a B&B May 2011. Service was outstanding, room clean, entire inn very elegant and well decorated and maintained,... and quiet. Grounds and exterior are a real treat and we couldn't believe that this type of accommodation and food could be offered at these prices. Will definitely recommend and look for opportunities to return.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for your review. I am glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to seeing you again soon!

This Inn is in a prime location. Locals were playing music in the City Park which is right out the front door of the Inn. Dining and shopping were within easy walking distance.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you! Location is everything sometimes, but the music in my front yard at the park is an added blessing to this place, and the town is full of local musicians who play in the park nearly every night! Weather permitting!

- Mark Nelson (Innkeeper)

It was our first visit to Mountain View,Ar . And our first time to stay in a B&B . Everything exceeded our expectations . We will be back to stay at the Inn At Mountain View . Thanks Mark we loved it .

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
I'm so glad your first experience at a B&B was a good one. Most of my guests are return visitors and would not stay anywhere but a B&B.

- Mark Nelson (Innkeeper)

Beautiful home. Great common areas! The game room was a welcome space from our stays at the local cabins. Loved having access to the instruments, the porches and the huge back yard with the swings. Breakfast was absolutely delicious. The blessing before the meal was a special addition as well. THe home was spotless. Wish we could have spent more time here. Thanks for a great nights stay! Great place for families!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for the review, and the great comments about all the amenities we have to offer here at the Inn.

- Mark nelson (Innkeeper)

We had a wonderful time and Mark was great to us. We were the only one's there during our stay and he was very attentive and helpful. We enjoyed breakfast in the morning and spending time in the mountains. The jacuzzi tub was absolutely devine. Thanks so much Mark! We'll definitely be back!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
I'm glad you had a great time and will be returning soon. I have have had lots of comments on how wonderful our Garden Suite room is with the Jacuzzi tub.

- Mark Nelson (innkeeper)

We were in desparate need of a room when we called the Inn at Mountain View on March 11. After travelling over 11 hours with (3) children ages 7, 10, and 15 we were all exhausted. With our emotions running high because of a sick relative we were immediately relieved when we walked through the doors and could hear the wonderful music in the sitting room. I honestly felt like the gates of heaven were opening. We enjoyed our stay so much we are returning over Easter weekend to visit our relative and are staying at the Inn at Mountain View again. A trip we were all very apprehensive about taking turned into a enjoyable get-away for our families. Thank you!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
I was so glad we were able to accommodate you and your group at the last minute and are so glad you had a wonderful time!

- Mark Nelson (innkeeper)

This is my favorite Bed and Breakfast in Mountain View. The only place to stay in my opinion. It has a great location on the square with rockers on the front porch so you can enjoy morning coffee or just relax and listen to the music. They serve a FULL breakfast which is the best ever. Unbelievable how good it is. You walk away very satisfied and won't need to eat again until dinner. The innkeepers are very friendly and the service they provide is top notch. This is the only place to stay in Mountain View. Plan ahead because they are usually full. It's a very popular place. One visit and you'll understand why. They have a LONG list of repeat customers including myself.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Wow, not sure what to say. This review is over whelming. Thank you so much for all the compliments. We do have a lot of returns guests, so something must be bringing them back time and time again!

- Mark Nelson (innkeeper)

The three days we spent at the Inn were great. It has easy access to all of the town's shopping, restaurants, and entertainment. The accommodations were quite comfortable and well appointed. Our host kept us well informed and breakfast was quite a feast. Highly recommended!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for the great review. Enjoyed your stay with us and we look forward to you coming back soon and a great next year!

- Mark Nelson (innkeeper)

The facility was outstanding...The breakfast was outstanding...The location was outstanding... and The Innkeepers, Mark and JoAnn Nelson were outstanding !!! We felt very much at home, very comfortable, at The Inn at Mountain View. It was a joy to visit with the other guests while having morning coffee sitting in rocking chairs on the front porch prior to the 8:30 a.m. breakfast bell. Truly a memorable and joyful experience

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for the great review. It was truly a great weekend for everyone!

- Mark Nelson (innkeeper)

I have been very fortunate with my stays at many Bed & Breakfast inns. Therefore I have high expectations and my rating reflect that. The location is just about the best available if you want the "downtown local" scene. Friday and Saturday intertainment is everywhere with "local folk" doing the playing. Many of them are very good. Most are worth sitting and listening to. The rooms are clean and quiet. The food while lacking slightly in variety from day to day was good. The bathroom require going across a public hall to get to, but each room has it's own separate facilities. It wasn't really a problem. They too were clean and well maintained.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for the review. Musicians are subject to playing around town anytime. There is a large variety of Acoustic music from Folk, to Bluegrass, to Celtic. The musicians come from all over to play here.

- Mark Nelson (innkeeper)

Their porch is fabulous! A great space to listen to the music.

We keep getting these reviews about sitting on our front porch facing the "pickin-Park". Thank you! What are the rest of you waiting on. The rocking chairs are waiting!

This was our first motorcycle trip to Mountain View in September, but definitely will not be our last. Our vacation was wonderful and stay at B & B was incredible. The pics of this beautiful B & B are exactly what you will find. Location can't be beat!! My husband and I felt a very warm and family atmosphere with Mark and JoAnn and the other guests from the rocking chair visits on the front porch to the delicious breakfasts fellowshiping together. I think the breakfasts were the best meals of each day in which Mark led us in a blessing each morning. Thank you for this and God Bless You Mark! The 'pickin' park' is directly across from the B & B so you don't even have to leave the comfort of the rocking chair to enjoy the music if you don't want to! We hope to see you again soon Mark and JoAnn!!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for the wonderful response. This is a great place to come on a motorcycle and the highway through town is even recognized by Harley Davidson. The rocking chairs on the front porch is the best place to sit, relax, and listen to music in town!

- Mark Nelson (innkeeper)

I would recommend this B & B to everyone. It is most beautifully decorated and it is maintained to the highest of standards. The owners/inn keepers are very kind people and they make sure your every need is met.

Thank you for the review, and stopping by to stay with us. hope you can stop by again soon!

- Mark Nelson (innkeeper)

We have been to the Inn several times and love the ambiance. The food is the best of any bed and breakfast we have ever stayed at. It is extremely well positioned at the corner of the town square and is walking distance to the whole downtown area. The rooms are beautifully decorated and the evenings are a joy. Either sitting and rocking on the porch and enjoying the fellowship of the other travellers or wandering the town square and listening to the music in the warm spring, summer and fall evenings.

David and I have stayed many times at the Inn at Mountain View. Both with the old owners Scott & Shay and the new owners Mark & Jo Ann. When Scott and Shay informed us they had sold the Inn (not only sold it, but to a couple from the big city of Memphis) David and I were afraid it would lose that small town feeling. We were very pleasantly suprised to see it not only hadn't changed, but Mark and Jo Ann had added a unique family charm. The meals are just as wonderful & inviting as ever and the Inn is always full of fun and laughter. When you open the door to your room you are transported back into the 19th century with a tasteful touch of modern convience. We look forward to many more get-a-way weekends at the Inn at mountain View. Mary and David

We have been going to the Inn at Mountain View for over 20 years and are now on our third set of owners! We were shocked this year when there was a TV in our room (We never turned it on). This is a place to go to relax; rock on the front porch, listen to bluegrass live in the living room, walk the square, take a day to visit the Antique Warehouse in Botkinburg, tour the caverns, hike or bike the trails around Sylamore Creek, as I said - Relax. The breakfasts and special occasion dinners have remained consistently excellent through 3 owners and the breakfast is hearty enough to skip lunch. Joyce and Dan
