Caddo Gap, Arkansas
Gap Mercantile is located in quaint Caddo Gap, AR. The overnight rental is part of the actual historical Gap Mercantile, an old general store that was built in 1932. The store is still in operation and is open to the public during the summer season Tuesday through Saturday from 10 to 4 and winter season Friday and Saturday 10 to 4. You will have the cottage area in the back of the store that was renovated to accommodate overnight guests that has its own private entrance. This rental is just a short walk from the Caddo River.
The 650 square foot Mercantile Cottage is located in the back of the historic Gap Mercantile building. It features two bedrooms and a bathroom with shower, as well as a roomy living area, along with a kitchenette where simple meals can be prepared using a microwave or toaster oven. There's also a small refrigerator and a dining area that seats six. The cottage and store are featured on the Farm Hand's Companion You Tube.
My two boys (12 and 10) and I loved the cottage. They enjoyed exploring all of the decor and books and played some music on the piano as well which gave a nice atmosphere! It is a quiet place after the sun goes down and we enjoyed a family movie. The next morning the boys had fun playing checkers on the front porch of the store while we had breakfast and waited to take a farm tour. Perhaps the best part of the cottage are Lynna and Gary - you couldn’t ask for friendlier people to welcome you and talk to during your stay! Highly recommend a stay at the cottage and visit to the store if you are in the area.
It is a great place to stay. We would recommend it to anyone. It was very cozy and cool to look at the old antiques they had in it.
We had a comfortable and very quiet evening at the cottage. Loved the antiques and simplicity of everything.
My 3rd time in a year to stay at this precious cottage! Decorated perfectly! Everything you need! Will be back again!
We enjoyed our visit to the Caddo-Gap Cottage as usual. We will certainly return when we are in the area.
Great location for hiking, kayaking! Gary was super nice and very knowledgeable, a great resource! Check-in and out was a breeze. Definitely would stay again!
We enjoyed our stay at Caddo Gap Mercantile. We were unable to meet Ms. Lynna but met Mr. Gary and enjoyed talking with him. The location was perfect for us!
Property was clean and comfortable and fit our purpose of being close (only 30 minutes away) to Camp Ozark early in the morning to pick up our grand son on check out day. Would be a nice place for a few very quite days in the mountains. The only problem we had was the heat ..... with an outside temperature of 100 plus the 3 small window A/C units in the cottage while they worked very hard were not able to keep the rooms comfortable. Especially the bathroom which was located where non of the cool air could get in........ A fan would have made a big difference...... Adding a couple more units and having some fans would have helped. On a more moderate day with lower outside temps it probably would have been more comfortable ........ The Mercantile Store up front was a real hoot !!!!! We found several thing we couldn't do without ......
The vintage touches make this property a unique find. The village is perfect for a morning stroll. The mercantile feels like stepping back in time. The owners are wonderful and local.
Lynna, the owner, was very nice. The cottage was very comfortable. Very clean. The history of the store was very interesting. It was a very positive experience. Highly recommend staying here!!
