Hello Dawn,
It is Andre Bledsoe,
"I truly wanted to thank you and your Husband for the wonderful accomodations you provide. I really can't say enough about it. It totally was stunning and took both of our breath away. The first two days, I would catch my wife sitting in silence with tears in her eyes, of just being overwhelmed with emotions. That was truly priceless for me to be able to surprise her with the Treehouse. It has given our marriage new life and opened my eyes even more to realize how important alone time is for us.
I can't stop thinking about when we might be able to get that way again. I will be in touch whenever we decide to come again. I also have been sharing this with my co-workers throughout the hospital and they are all thinking about it as well.
Thank You so much and I am sorry it has taken so long to write this appreciation letter." Sincerely Andre & Sheri Bledsoe
"We just wanted to say thank you for making available such a private and unique place for us to stay on our vacation; the Chateau Treehouse (October 15th). Not only did you provide all the necessities but also a classy comfortable cozy impeccable place with all the amenities. Thank you also for the generous amount of information and maps regarding your local sights and events. We enjoyed our stay immensely". Sincerely,
Ronnie & Ruby Crisp
"Thank you for a lovely stay in the cozy Thornton's Queen Suite room! I hope to return next year! Good Things"-Cara Brookins

Thank you again, Blessing to you and your family. Hope to see you soon!"
Byron and Kim Malcom
"Thank you so much for our lovely stay at your cottage, A Tuscany Dream. My husband and I really loved the location and privacy we experienced at Oak Crest."
Sincerely,
Brian & Gail McKenzie - Chandler, Oklahoma
"We want to thank you for making available such a clean, comfortable, light-filled space at such a reasonable price. I had been at the Writers' Colony for two weeks and wanted a little "decompression" time before returning home to Northwest Missouri, but didn't want to spend a fortune to do so. I was so grateful to find you, and I was so much more grateful when I actually experienced this blessed space.
I will be back. Meanwhile, I'll be sending you positive thoughts for your continued success!"
Brenda Lewis-Missouri
"I just wanted to say how absolutely wonderful the Chateau Treehouse was.
Romantic and beautiful accommodations. Just the peace and quiet we were
looking for. We will definitely be back!"
Much Thanks-Christina McAllister
"We just wanted to send our thanks for such great accommodations! The place was beautiful. This was our first trip away from our twin babies, and it was just the perfect combination of sight-seeing and R&R. You have a wonderful business -- we wish you well with it. We hope to come back again someday!"
Patrick & Krystal Nickelson
"Thank you so much...
We had a terrific time exploring the village & surrounding areas. Eureka is an unforgettable place.
You were an amazing hostess, we didn't want to leave without telling you. It's not often when you can genuinely say how comfortable hotel accommodations are while traveling; it's even more rare to say how much you appreciated the extra effort the hotel manager/owner was in making the stay so memorable.
We'll always remember you!
Thank you so much!"
Allison Cockrill - Cumming, GA
"I am so glad that Steve remained insistent on staying at your place, jacuzzi or no jacuzzi. Yes, the room and atmosphere are important (we think your place is awesome). But we are crazy about Oak Crest Cottages for another reason too. You Guys!!!! Almost one year ago at your cozy little place, the love of my life and I got back together. We had dated for nine months, then separated for fourteen long months. After not seeing each other for such a long time, I thought I was going to be a nervous wreck and somewhat uncomfortable. That was not the case at all. True, my stomach was filled with butterflies but both of us were amazingly comfortable and at ease. I really believe the homey feeling you gave us right off and then the sweetness of the rooms played a big part in making our reunion so simple. I know you have had a lot of customers come and go over the past year, but I wanted you to know that Steve and I will be celebrating our one year anniversary and what a great impression "Oak Crest Cottages" has made on us. We look forward to seeing you soon!!"
Lisa Hooten-Ft. Smith, AR
A NOTE FROM ELAINE!
Steve SURPRISED Lisa with an engagement ring on this visit! Now...how cool is that!!!
"I arrived home about 5:30 on Saturday, safe & sound thanks to the great directions. Your cabin's are just what I needed. I could not have picked a better place to spend some quiet time & some shopping time & great food, all rolled into one. Moving from cabin to cabin was part of the adventure. I enjoyed each one, though, I do love the private garden & fountain the most. BTW, about the food; the best blackberry cobbler is at West Oaks, along with really good steak & shrimp. You were most helpful & gracious & I truly appreciate you! I will be returning one day. In the meantime, God bless & watch over you."
Happy vacationer,
Charline Alexander - Irving, TX
From Elaine:
Charline was a real trooper, due to scheduling she stayed a few nights in "A Tuscany Dream", then moved to "A Santa Fe Sunset" then to "Get Your Kicks on Route 66"!
Our motto at Oak Crest is "You could stay with us 9 times and have a unique experience each time!"
We have a total of 9 accommodations and they are all totally different in feel from each another!
THANKS AGAIN Charline, for choosing to stay at Oak Crest!
"I wanted to drop you a line telling you how much our family enjoyed our stay at Oak Crest last week. Elaine, you and Don made it feel like we were staying with family and anything we asked for you performed above and beyond to see that we got what we asked for. From using your grill or using the phone book and phone to recommending places to eat, it was all just GREAT!!! I wish the best for your endeavor and that Oak Crest Cottages takes you exceedingly higher than you have ever dreamed."
The Rambo Family - Flower Mound, TX
"Just a quick note to tell you how relaxing and comfortable our time was at Oak Crest Cottages. We are close enough that we will be back again and again. It is our new haven and secret hide-away. Oak Crest offers far and above what we expected. We were completely charmed by the accommodations and our wonderful hosts as well.
Thank you again for a wonderful experience! We cannot wait to come back!"
Skip & Angela Birdsong Waters - Pineville, MO
"Thanks for a great stay over the 4th of July weekend. Your cottages are special and we really enjoyed our stay. Sure was a fast weekend and time went too fast,
but we got to rest some and the fireworks were really beautiful. Hope to get back before Christmas, we always love the decorations and lights..."
Franchelle and Larry Eden - McRae, AR |
"We really enjoyed our stay in the Barn. The Romance Package could not have worked out better. Also your food recommendations were excellent all the way up to our way home...
Many of the cottages in Eureka Springs look similar from the outside. Elaine and Don's special touches to their rooms and the service at Oak Crest is what differentiates them from the rest. Do yourself a favor and take a look at the rooms, you will be pleasantly surprised!"
Brian and Brandie Bost - Oklahoma City, OK.
"Just wanted to let the two of you know how much we enjoyed our stay in a Tuscany Dream! The last 6 months were a most stressful time in our lives and we decided we needed a celebration for surviving it. What better time than Valentine's Day to treat ourselves. Relaxing in the double jacuzzi was unbelievably wonderful and just made all that nasty stress float away. All your restaurant recommendations were right on the money...we had wonderful meals each place we ate. It is a 7 hour drive for us, but well worth the time. We are looking forward to coming back when it's a little warmer, but will miss the fireplace. Our whole weekend was so romantic and special. A Tuscany Dream was just that!"
The Boatman's - Bossier City, LA
"Just a note to say thanks so much for a great couple of days at Oak Crest!! We really appreciate all you did, your hospitality, the tour of the other rooms and being so accommodating for Disney.
Best of luck this New Year and continued success for you...you've got a wonderful place!"
The Smith's - Joplin, MO
"We are so glad that we found Oak Crest. We drove by all the other places that we considered and came to the conclusion that the “Barn” offers so much more as far as privacy and uniqueness goes, plus it is close enough to get to everything quickly."
The Toomey's - Independence, KS
"I love Oak Crest so much, I need to where a pin that says - Ask me about Elaine & Don at Oak Crest Cottages!"
T. Hymer - Coweta, OK
"What a super vacation we've had! You made us feel so welcome & were so helpful! We really enjoyed our room but our talks & chit-chats with you made it really feel like our "Home away from Home". You have so much enthusiasm & vision & love for what you are doing at Oak Crest! Thank you for making our stay so fantastic! Your place has such personality! This will be a trip we will never forget. No doubt we'll be staying at Oak Crest on our future visits.!"
The Bourlon's - Lufkin, TX
"Everything was wonderful, our cottage, the Jacuzzi and the bed was so comfy that I wanted to take it home with me!"
L. Dirck - Polo, MO
"We just wanted you to know that we had the best vacation that we have had in recent memory! Ya'll were just great and we will recommend Oak Crest Cottages to anyone who mentions to us that they are planning a trip in your area..."
Don & Jackie Hamby - Griffin, GA
"Thank you for making this past weekend special for my husband and myself. The cottage was very nice & private and combined with your personality it made a very relaxing and enjoyable weekend."
T. Harper - Bennington, OK
"I just wanted to say thanks for having us as guests at your cottages. We had a wonderful time, and hope to visit again in the fall."
Tonya & Carrie - Bono, AR |
"Thanks for everything...The cottage was our favorite, and we would have never known how to get around or where to go without you! We can't wait to stay in the Barn next! We've told all our friends about you, so hopefully they'll book soon!"
Destiny & Jason - Broken Arrow, OK.
"Just wanted to let you know about the rest of our vacation in Branson that you planned for us. The shows were great. Momma enjoyed being seranaded by The Platters and Elvis too. As you promised we did have front row seats to the Platters and we did get Elvis scarves and a teddy bear souvenir. Thanks again for planning our trip."
C. Worthington - Vicksburg, MS
"I wanted to touch base with the both of you in regard to our stay with you this past weekend. All I can say is thank you, thank you and thank you. Garry and I truly enjoyed our stay. We cannot remember the last time that we had such a pleasant stay. The hospitality was wonderful and the room was quite adorable. I would recommend your place to anyone and everyone and will do so. Once again thank you so much for making our 5th anniversary that much more special."
Robert Ramirez - Mesquite, TX
"On behalf of all of the members of Christ Apostolic Church, we wanted to take the time to recognize the outstanding efforts you have taken in seeing that our Evangelist and Wife had a Wonderful Vacation. It started when Bro. Steve Thornbury emailed you. From that point you were very much attentive to the needs. Then you went into action. We wanted something special, you and Bro. Steve worked together to find exactly that. Once again Thank you for all that you’ve done and the concern you have put into making a “Hardworking Evangelist and his Wife” very happy!"
Pastor Gary L Meredith Sr. - Chandler, IN |
"We had such a great time. I'm telling everyone I know about Oak Crest Cottages and the wonderful owners. The Paris Flat was the perfect "Girl's Night Out" facility and how we loved breakfast on the front porch. I'm looking forward to bringing my husband up for a romantic retreat in The Barn. Thanks for all you did to make our stay fabulous and I'll see you soon."
Rosemary Bruce - Gordonville, TX
"Thanks for a great stay!"
Rosemary, Terri & Flat Dee -Gordonville, TX
I just wanted to let you know that we had the most fun at Oak Crest. This was our first romantic splurge and we went with the Romance package in the barn and we loved it. It will always be memorable for us because that night my boyfriend asked me to marry him. We will be sure to come back and try out the different cottages because the Barn Experience was a memory worth living. Thank you for everything, the two of you made us feel very welcome. We hope to see you again real soon...
Debbie & Joel - Oklahoma City, OK
"Just wanted you to know what a great time we had there on last weekend. Saturday night really topped it off. I wished you could have seen the expression on his face when we came back to our cottage. Everything was so great and he keeps telling people what a great time we had and showing off our pictures. Once again thanks."
The Cooper's - Carthage, TX
"Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend. Oak Crest Cottages was just the get-away we needed. What a wonderful way to celebrate our engagement! Thanks for arranging our massages. They were GREAT!! Thanks for everything!"
Staci & Mike - Kansas City, KS |
"I have been to Eureka Springs just about every summer since I was 7 (am 25 now), and do not remember staying in such a neat place as Oak Crest Cottages. I will definitely visit you again, and have been raving to my friends where we will all have to stay the next time we make it down there. Mark had a great stay for his first time to Arkansas. Thanks for the hospitality and tour of all the unique rooms.
Desiree Phillips - Overland Park, KS
"Thank you very much for the stay on Valentine's weekend. I planned to have a romantic weekend with Lonnie and it turned out perfect. The carriage ride was definitely romantic. The driver talked to us for a minute then left us alone. That was neat. The restaurants were great. We ate at Ermilio's you recommended for Italian. We also ate at Caribe for Mexican. We went down to the Copa Cabana to dance and listen to Karoke.
The cottages are set up cute. It was very romantic with the fireplace and jacuzzi. Thank you much for the great weekend."
The Nixa's - Holden, MO
"I didn't know what to expect for the picnic. It was really a pleasant surprise!"

Amanda Eddy - Tulsa, OK
"We enjoyed our visit so much... The work you've done is really neat. Elaine, you have the gift of interior design & Don you have a gift of observing a situation and adding your special touch to it. Thanks again for a lovely time..."
Judy & Farl Maxwell - Garland, TX
"Since we didn't have the chance to stop by on our way out and tell you personally, I decided to send a message and let you know what a wonderful time we had at Oak Crest! Our cottage was wonderfully quaint and (like its name implies) Charmingly Romantic! Coming back after dinner to a rose petal and candle filled room literally took my breath away. I was shocked! Scott and I had such a romantic evening, and the atmosphere was definitely to blame. Thanks for offering such a special touch and making our short get-away so meaningful. The memories we have will last forever."
A. Patrick - Farmington, AR
"Thanks again for the great weekend. Arthur and I have both told our friends what a great time we had there. We trust that you will have a great and successful Spring.
The Crawfords - Springfield, MO
"We sure did have a fabulous time staying in Monet’s Cabin… You have really turned Oak Crest into a wonderful retreat. We are already looking forward to the next chance we will get to come up there again! Thanks again for all you did to give us some very special and much needed days of relaxation!"
Marielle McFarland - Arkeldelphia, AR
"I just wanted to let you know Eureka Springs was the perfect place for our vow renewals and second honeymoon. After everything we have overcome, I could not have asked for a more perfect celebration. The "Barn" was the perfect place for us to stay. Walking in the door from supper to candlelight, rose petals, and soft music made the evening even more romantic. You really made us feel like we were the only people there. Thank you for making our second honeymoon, PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The Marlar's - Hallsville, TX
"One more time we would like to thank you for your wonderful hospitality you showed us during our stay. I can't tell you enough how much your cooperation with David's romantic streak meant to me."
The Crowder's - Prescott, AR
"I just wanted to thank you for all your help in planning our stay. Josh and I had a wonderfully romantic vacation. Tuscany was perfect. I couldn't have asked for anything more. We are planning to come back to Eureka in early May and will remember your hospitality. Thank you so much!"
Allicia Riggs - Dover, AR
"Just to let you know we made it home just fine. Of course we toured the Bible Museum and the Art Gallery at the Passion Play grounds and they were wonderful. Then we ventured a different route on highway 71 and saw great things and found some rocks we just had to bring home, one was so big I could bearly pick it up. Then we had to buy up all the Stewart's peach soda we could find since we can't get it in Oklahoma.
But, more than anything, we want to let you know how wonderful you made our trip. You both are great and made us feel very welcome.
We would strongly recommend you to anyone we talk to.
May God bless you both and aid with your work there."
Renee & Toyah Myers - Duncan, OK
"Thank you for such a wonderful time at our Mother Daughter Weekend. Natalie and I had such a wonderful time and the wedding in August was planned so quickly because of your help... It is hard to find such clean and comfortable rooms... I could never express to you how awesomely wonderful the visit with you in May was for us.
Sandy Slone - Joplin, MO
Ken & I want to thank you so much for your hospitality. Oak Crest Cottages made our first vacation in 8 years a very pleasant experience. Cottage #4 (Thornton's Queen Suite") will always have a place in our fond memories of Eureka Springs. It was undoubtedly better than any "hotel" room we've ever occupied. Don was so gracious to give us a tour of all the cottages & the "barn" - WOW! The two of you should be very proud. We were happy to see the "No Vacancy" sign lit up after driving by so many who looked quite empty.
Of course being able to spend time with Ashly and see her opera performances was something we will always cherish...
I don't know that we'll visit Eureka Springs again but believe me, if we ever do, we will give you a call for reservations. Thanks again.
Janet & Ken Evans - Omaha, NE
"The best place in town, we'll recommend it to everyone!"
The West's - Midwest City, OK
"Thank you again for everything, we enjoyed our stay at Oak Crest and will
be sure to tell others about it!"
Michele and Patrick Mayhan - Houston, TX
"I want to thank you for making my wife’s birthday surprise weekend a very special memory for her. We enjoyed the entire Passion Play experience—New Holy Land Tour, the 3 Museums, and the Buffet dinner . This was my first time to see the play, and all I could say was, “WOW”. Kaye really enjoyed the spa, as that was her first time to experience one. The romance package was awesome to say the least. To see the look of pure enjoyment on her face made the whole weekend worth it. She kept saying to me, “What did you do to my husband? He’s not romantic like this!” I want to let you know that I have not seen my wife this relaxed or happy in a very long time, and she is already making plans for us to return. She wants to stay in the Barn next time. I wouldn’t mind that either!"
Kevin Thrasher - Springfield, MO |
