Visitor's Comments From Irish Rose Cabin
 
So many people have left such wonderful comments in my guest book, I wish I could tell you all how much they mean to me, but I just can’t find the right words.

Please know you all have entered a very warm place in my heart.

Thank you for all the kind words just doesn’t fully express the pleasure it has been to spend time with you and your loved ones.

I have put some of the comments here, so that you know that you have really touched me, and made this all so very worthwhile.

When I was younger, I often wondered how I would spend my ‘retirement’ years. Please believe me when I say that the cabin has provided me with every possible wish I could have had, and that I would have only hoped to have met all the wonderful people that I have because of the cabin.

I want to thank you all, not just for staying at the cabin, but for including me in a part of your lives.


 
Mr. Mike Adams,
Your love of the lord is evident, thank you for sharing that love in the labor it takes in keeping open the doors of the Irish Rose Cabin.
Warmth and kindness abides in the hospitality and feeling of being welcomed. We pray your days are many and blessed. May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

Thank you for your hospitality Mike. The Irish Rose is beautiful. We would love to come back again and spend more time. God truely led us to this place and you when we were finding a place to stay close to Hurricane Grove Primitive Baptist Church. You show that God is instrumental in your life through the website and just by talking to you. May God continue to bless you through your life and the people you meet.

Mike, Thank you so much for sharing an amazing place with us. Because of you, scratching off one of my bucket list items became even more memorable. I was finally able to visit my great, great granpa's and grandma's graves in Sims, Arkansas (Lone Valley Cemetery).
While staying at your cabin, we enjoyed the beautiful scenery, watching the deer chase each other, listening to the sounds of nature, visiting the goats, seeing the array of stars at night, and overall, the peace and quiet. You are what every host should strive to be more like. So thank you again from the both of us. We hope to return again someday, but until then we pray that you are well and continually blessed.

Dear Mr. Mike,
Thank you so much for having us here at the Irish Rose. We have enjoyed ourselves this long weekend so very much. It is not often that we get to have several of our kids in one place, they are growing up and spreading out, this was a much needed time to visit and reconnect. We enjoyed the banjo very much and plan on a trip this fall, we will book early because we want to make sure we see one of your shows! Again, thank you so very much.

Mike, I'm certain we were led to your cabin! It was such a blessing to spend this time here. We could feel all the love and care you put into it, and the strong presence of the nature that surrounds. We really enjoyed the view of the creek! and will definitely be back. We also had a great night's sleep. It is cetainly a place to relax and reflect. Thank you for your kindness and for sharing the magic of your land. Every detail was perfect.

p.s. Our daughter wants to learn to play the banjo, so we will have to bring her to hear you play next time.

Thank you so much for allowing us to stay at the cabin. It is absolutely beautiful! The cabin was impeccable, peaceful and serene! What a joyful surprise for both of us to be invited to hear you and the boys playing the banjo, mandolin and guitars. What a delight! We have never felt so welcomed. I had a fun time with the ladies and felt like I had always known them. What a wonderful and memorable evening. We enjoyed our coffee on the porch and listened to the amazing birds sing their beautiful songs. We feel so fortunate to have met you and stayed at this little piece of heaven. We definitely were supposed to have stayed here and know that it was a divine intervention. Thank you, thank you, for your warm and welcoming hospitality. It is a day that my husband and I will be forever remembering. May God richly bless you and your home.

Thank you once again for your hospitality. We have thought of, spoken and prayed for you often since our last trip here. This trip we enjoyed a lot of hiking and kayaking. We were so happy to see you again and to rest in the blessed assurance God provides here at your place. It is relaxing to take time away from our responsibilities and enjoy each other, and Tom and I both are so grateful for you and the Irish Rose.
We love you and look forward to seeing you again. Until then, may God bless you and keep you.

     Yours in Christ, Tom and Elizabeth.

Thank you for your gracious Arkansas hospitality.
We have traveled the world, but there is no place more wonderful than the Irish Rose.
Switzerland may have bigger mountains, Wyoming may have creeks with more fish, and New York City may have more shops than Mt. Ida, but none have a place that provides the warmth and grace you have shown. We thank you for your friendship and generosity.

The cabin is charming and inviting, but what made our first trip to Arkansas so special and memorable was you -and your warm and kind hospitality! We both thoroughly enjoyed Mt. Ida. From the quartz mining, rock shops, artist guild, scenery to coffee and good conversation. Thanks for including us in a wonderful evening of good food and fabulous music, and for the unexpected chance to visit the museum.
Loved everything in the cabin -lovely decoration and all the needed amenities, -it was so pleasant just to be here!
Wishing you kind and gentle years to come,

We loved the little Irish cabin. So much that we didn't want to leave. Jessica and I thank you for welcoming us in on such a short notice. This place was just what I needed from a stressful night away from work. I only hope that next time I get to sit on the porch and share stories with you and get to know you better.

It's great to see you again, as always!!
And it's great to enjoy your relaxing cabin and to use it as a central point to come back to after driving all around the area each evening.
Today we went to Mt. Magazine for the day. Tomorrow we will go to Hot Springs and Garvin Gardens. The next day we will go to Petie Jean Mtn. and see an antique care show there.
It's great to be able to come back here as a "home base" between our trips around the area, instead of having to hop from one hotel to another.

Today when we drove back to the cabin, as we drove up, we saw 4 deer run across the yard, toward the barns and into some brush at the edge of the yard. Just as they reached the edge, they all stopped and just stood there looking at us.They were all fairly mature and seemed to be a family. It was a rare moment to enjoy!
It's great to be so close to nature here! Thank you for that and for such a nice, peaceful, quiet place to relax!

God loves what in us is not yet. What has still to come to birth. God, loving what is not yet and putting faity in us, continually begets us, since love is what begets__.The charity which God transmits to us is this very ability to love things in a person which do not as yet exist. The earth is filled with your love, O'Lord. PS119:64

We loved your peaceful, cozy cabin.
I believe Andy is learning to "tree" varmints. We had to pull him off after a successful trap (at 1:30am). HA!
But how can you be upset with a face like that.
Thank you for your generosity and hope to be back some day.
Would love to explore around but the rain is not cooperating with us.

     October,  2013
This was our first trip to Arkansas and you definitely have a beautiful state.
The roads were great for cycling and we enjoyed riding to the various state perks.
The cabin was warm and cozy retreat to come back to after a long day of cycling and Andy was always there to welcome us back in the evening.
Tim appriciates being able to keep the bike in the shed.
This was a great way to end our fall riding season.

We truly feel God led us to this cabin.
He knew we needed to rest, relax and recuperate and this was the perfect place.
Andy was a joy to have around. We saw the deer several times as well.
Thanks for the watermelon and banjo time-you are very talented!
Make sure you let is know when you play in Texas. I'm pretty sure we will see you again.

Thank you for providing this adorable place! We enjoyed our short stay on our way home to LA from a visit to Harrison.
We had searched online for days for a one night stay in a cabin and I'm so thankful we chose this one.
It is so peaceful, comfortable, clean we enjoyed the beauty of God's creations-and I love that His Word is all through this place!!
Hope to return again for a longer stay. May God continue to bless you as you touch lives at this beautiful place.

p.s. We had our fun playing with Andy (or "Jingle Bell", as my husband called him!)

     Clayton & Leila
     August,  2013
Thank you so much for allowing us to stay at your beautiful cabin.
What a welcome it's cool interior was on a quite humid day.
We loved meeting Andy and he provided a lot of compainship. Lol
He followed us to the creek, but didn't like the water so we had to carry him up and down the stream. It was a hoot.
I held him in one arm and he wrapped his long tail around my back like a monkey holding on for dear life.
So FYI, I don't think you'll have a problem with him staying away from the water. lol.

This is our last evening here and I am hoping to get to hear you play the banjo. It would be the perfect evening to a perfect stay. Oh, Andy did steal my husbands shoe-just as you warned. ha-ha. We searched and searched and my niece found it in his dog house. So, if you were wondering why my husband was trying to crawl in it on the first night and ended up wrestling with Andy in the back yard, that was it. We laughed and laughed and laughed. Nothing is better for the soul.

My niece and I did get a little rock climbing back up from the creek, but good ole Andy led us the last 50 feet to the cabin. lol
He was as lost as us until then! He's so funny.
Thank you again for sharing your little slice of heaven wtih us.
We will always remember our stay fondly. Go RAZORBACKS! (I don't even keep up with sports, lol)

     Tonya, Bill & Adrey

We love the cabin and love the town of Mt. Ida and all of the charactors we have met.

Thanks you for being such a great host!
We enjoyed the cabin and the town of Mt. Ida, It kind of reminds us of home with nice and friendly people who wave on the road!!
If we had a little more time, we could have cooked up some real cajun food for you but maybe another time.
Our daughter, Audrey, really enjoyed the "big mountains" and of course your puppy!
We will definately be recommending your cabin to others traveling this way. Thanks again.

WOW!! What a great time we have had!
Thank you so much for hospitality and generousity.
This is a perfect place to unwind, which we all need from time to time.
It was so relaxing to sit on the porch in the evening with "nothing to do".
Rest, relax, recharge.......the bad news is that we must return to the "real" world.....The good news is that we are already planning a return trip.
May God richly bless you and yours.

__oh, how I hated to say goodbye to_..Arkansas, land of opportunity, Arkansas, oh what you do to me. Prettiest place I ever saw__is back HOME in Arkansas.
The Ouachita Mountains are calling be back home. I don't know what to do. Everytime I come I don't want to leave.
It's too much of a tease for me. I would like to move back, but don't know what is best for me and my husband.
Thanks for the music, tips and introductory jam session.
Be safe in your travels. Thanks for your hospitality.
We are comfy here, especially that last two days while my husband was ill. I wanted to stay longer, but not this way.
I will contact you by e-mail. I would like to come back for spring break or this summer. This would be a safe place for me to stay if my husband can't make the trip due to his work schedule.
May God guild us all, this love.

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay here in the cabin, we love it.
Me, Kellie and the kids had a lot of fun here along with peace and quiet surroundings.
You are a good friend and fellow musician that I value a lot.
We look forward to coming back again to the beautiful place. You are always welcome to join me onstage anytime.
We have many more songs to play in years to come.
This is a little Heaven on Earth. God Bless you.

I would like to begin by saying that there aren't enough words in any language to express our gratitude for your generosities.
From the moment I first met you I have had a feeling that we were part of the same family.
Dad was lucky to have a friend like you in such a stressful time. We had a wonderful time and your cabin made our stay here that much better.
They say home is where you hang your hat and we felt like we were at home.
Thank you for being a great friend!
You will always be part of our family.

To say thank you is not enough to express the kindness and fellowship we were shown by you. You are a beautiful soul.
The cabin is inviting and so warm.
Mike you are a great artist in so many ways. You have a passion for music that calls throughout.
We are blessed that our paths crossed with yours. We look forward to many more visits. God Bless.

I feel as tho the Lord lead me and Frank here to your very peaceful and restful cabin. It felt like a home away from home.
I've traveled a lot and I have never found such a clean and quiet place as your little home.
I can feel that you are a good Christian and you really enjoy giving people a Welcome Home experience.
I have 3 family members that are sick and Frank thought it would be good to get away for a couple days.
We will go home tomorrow, but I will always remember this peace and try to come back when life gets tough.

     Frank & Bonnie

To say Hunter and I had a wonderful time is an understatement!
Now is is time for you to come "down South".
Enjoyed the music, meeting your friends, of course the cabin, and the "sock hop".
May you always dance and may I hear your music again soon! Now, let's chat about an Ireland trip.

What a great way to start our 20th Anniversary trip!
We really enjoyed the cleanliness and seclusion of your cabin.
It was so kind of you to back up this fumbling guitar player with your banjo. We enjoyed making music and singing in your home.
You've got a great gift. Somehow God uses music to minister to us. "...David would take his harp and play. Then relief would come to Saul; he would feel better, and the evil spirit would leave him." Sam.16:23
We feel refreshed! Until we meet again!!

It was so great to have stayed with you this weekend for our spring break!
We really felt at home in your cabin-with all the necessary accomdations you provided for us and your company.
You have such a beautiful living area and you're very blessed!
We enjoyed hearing you play the banjo-you have such talent! We've only known you for a couple days, yet it feels like a lifetime.
You're very kind-hearted and we hope the best for you.....until next time!!

I've camped in every park close to Mt. Ida and stayed in any place here that had a cabin and I finally came here!!
I wish I'd come here first-it was the prettiest, most peaceful and nicest place I have stayed in.
You are truly a great host and sharing of food in the cabins was unexpected and so appreciated.
You said sharing food with another was kin to having communion together-you truly have a servants heart.
Keep on being and doing what the Creator calls you to do. You might consider re-naming the cabin "Traveler's Rest", because it truly is. Oh, and the "wildlife" adventures were fun too. Let me know if they ever catch the Mule!!
Nice time, we have to find time to jam.

     Karen
     May,  2011

We have so thoroughly enjoyed exploring this beautiful area.
The cabin has been the perfect place to stay. It is so comfortable and has everything we need.
I loved having lots of lamps and light, recepticles for charging the phones and camera, and comfortable place to sit, and cheerful decor.
Having the "kitchen" walled off added to the charm. If it had been warmer, the rockers on the porch would have called my name!
Of course, the highlight was listening to you play your banjo and make music with your friends.
Our lives are much richer from being part of your world for this short time.
Thank you for your generous hospitality. This has been an experience we wil fondly remember.
And thanks again for being such a knowledgable tour guide!

Love the scenery-awesome!
You are such a hospitable host and we really enjoyed our conversation with you and learning of histories we had in common.
Love your goats and I hope the little one's left front foot gets all better!
Take care, we hope to see you again someday! And thanks so much for the home baked breakfast cake, it was delicious.

Thanks so much for having such a place.
My cousin told us about ya'all and we wanted a weekend away. This worked out perfect.
We almost had to call and cancel our trip. My daughter flipped her car on 9/2/10 and thank the Lord after many x-rays she came thru with a minor shoulder injury and a few bruises.
She insisted we come, she is 20 and has two children of her own so the importance of getting away is well known to her.
Thanks again. We saw 4 deer last night and this was right up my husband's ally as he's an avid hunder of deer and coon.
It is easy to be still and know that God is up here.
Thanks again. It was wonderful.

Rick & I work a lot of long hours with not much time left over for just us.
We both realize that time alone together is very important in a marriage.
This place and time we spent together making memories is exactly what the Lord intended for us. He led us to this place as he knew what we needed.
This weekend was a real blessing for us. Thanks for all you do to make it special, cozy and comfortable.
We left our cares behind for a couple of days and really enjoyed each other.
Loved the place. I felt Jesus all over it. We will definitely be back.

Thank you for making my "First" visit to your great State of Arkansas a memorable one.

Thanks for your time and openness and friendship.
