Comments: (12/18/06) - "Very nice place, convenient to I-40. Friendly, great large stalls. Will come back again! Will also recommend for other travelers. Thanks, Lois.". . .(2/8/07) - "This is a perfect place to overnight your horses. Very nice owners and super clean barn. No problems at all. Will use again for sure.". . .(3/2/07 - Editor's comments: The facility now has hired help to monitor the place 24/7).. . . (5/7/07) - "We stopped here on our second night of a three day trip from NJ to Texas. Our first night we got stuck in an ice storm and stayed in a parking lot...so we really needed a good place for the second night with a stall for the horse to properly rest in. The owner was friendly and waited for us to arrive even though we got there in the dark, later then we thought we would arrive. The facility was very clean, brand new and a much needed haven for the night. We stayed in our camper (electric and water were available) so we have no comments about proximity to human food and lodging but I would recommend this place to anyone needing a stop over for the night. Very easy access to the highway, enough room to turn a big rig around and the owner could not be nicer! I would stay there again although I am thinking twice about ever driving so far ever again!!!". . .(8/4/07) - "This is a great layover facility, clean & safe. The owners were very helpful. The location is close to the hotels in Forrest City. Although no one is on site 24 hours I felt the horses were safe.". . .(9/23/07) - "This was a great stop on a long trip home to Texas. The facility was very clean and safe. There wasn't overnight monitoring, but we stayed on site in our living quarters so it wasn't a concern. Thanks for the hospitality. If we make a trip back through this area we will definitely stay here again.". . .(11/4/07) - "Great place to stop at; new facility with large stalls and very clean. Hostess was not especially friendly; but in all fairness, we called late, got there late, and had 5 head to house and feed. I would stop here again at any time. Very convenient off of I-40, and close to motels and food. NICE STOP!". . .(11/27/07) - "We came in late. The owners do not live on site but they allowed us to come in and let the horses stay. Nice place very clean. close to the highway." . . .(5/25/08) - "Owners were waiting for us even though we were arriving late. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The facility is right off the highway and easy to get to. Hotels and restaurants were 5 min. away. It was a great place to overnight after 15 hours of driving."

Comments: (4/27/05) - "What a great place. Clean, pretty, very nice people.". . . (5/10/05) - "Best horse motel ever! Super place. Great hosts. Highly recommend!". . .(7/31/05) - "VERY nice place.". . .(10/18/05) - "Patsy and her husband are very nice and welcoming. The facility is clean, well lit and ample turnaround space for trailers. My only comment would be on the mosquitoes that pestered the horses. Not much they can control I guess. Otherwise, excellent facility. The Super 8 is really close, ok to stay in overnight, clean.". . .(4/22/06) - "This is a very nice facility. If they have room for you, take advantage of their hospitality. I stayed less than 0.1 from this facility and that made it easy to check back on my guys after dinner before turning in for the night. Note: Directions on the web say 1 mile south of free way. Actually it is only about 0.1 mile. Easy to blow by it if you are thinking about a mile.". . .(6/30/06) - "I would highly recommend anyone traveling through Arkansas to stable their horses with the McMullens. They are wonderful people and the barn was so clean. Their place is beautiful. The motels are very close. We left my mare with them overnight as we traveled to Texas and again coming back. Thanks for everything!!". . .(9/20/06) - "Convenient, clean, safe and hospitable to say the very least!! We will definitely overnight here again if ever in the area. We were glad that we were asked for health papers. Darn good place!!". . .(9/23/06) - "Big Rig accessible. All the positive comments previously posted are echoed. Neatest kept place we've ever stayed at. The distance from Interstate is as stated in the directory - 3/4 of a mile, not 1/10 nor 1 mi.". . . (10/17/06) - "The best oasis an exhausted traveler with a horse can imagine-beautiful, safe, clean, secure, friendly, hospitable, and very close to the Super 8 which was comfortable and friendly and gives a discount if you mention Saddle Creek Stables.". . .(2/8/07) - "Great people. Really easy access from I-40. Would stay with them again.". . .(2/22/07) - "Nice people, nice place, good stalls, easy access to the freeway. Overall a great place to stay. Safe, clean.". . .(8/11/07) - "Extremely well-maintained stable with friendly, helpful owners. Very clean and safe with large stalls. Nearby Super 8 motel makes it easy to check on horses. Mosquitoes can be a problem at times but fly spray can take care of it. Would recommend to anyone traveling through Arkansas.". . .(9/24/07) - "I stayed overnight on my move from Ohio to Texas. The McMullens have a very nice setup. I wish I had known to make a left turn off the interstate (going west) and it's on the right. Nowhere to turn around if you take the wrong turn off the interstate. Host was present shortly after my arrival. He helped me unload, water the horses, fill hay bags, guide me to my parking spot, help me setup...was very helpful and friendly. Place is as represented. I was very happy with the cleanliness, attention to detail. Thanks for the chance to get a great night's sleep knowing the horses were in nice big clean sturdy stalls!! I needed it on my trek to TX!!! Hotel very close by but not much in the way of food close by.". . .(9/26/07) - "When we arrived, Jessie (host's rep) was there to make sure everything was taken care of in their absence. He even brought fresh "fried fruit pies" from his mom's bakery - and fresh home grown vegetables. We made new friends on this trip, Jessie and his daughter and the hosts, Patsy and Emil. We stayed on our return trip also. Restaurants are limited (truck stops on freeway) but there are OK places just south about a mile - in Hazen. Thanks and hello to all.". . .(5/3/08) - "Fantastic host. I accidentally showed up a day early (oops!) and was still received with open arms (and stalls!). Clean, clean, clean and very well organized. Thanks for the stay.". . .(6/16/08) - "VERY close to the highway - easy in and out, room for large motorhome & bumper pull.". . .(6/30/08) - "This stable was our first stop on our move from Tenn. to Calif. Patsy is a very friendly and accommodating hostess. The stables and grounds were immaculate. Our horses were very happy to see a lush green pasture to graze and exercise. Patsy also stabled our large dogs for the night. Easy to find and easy on and off to the freeway. Lodging very close. Thank you very much Patsy."

Comments: (3/10/06) - "Super friendly host! Frank met us in town to show us the way to his barn. Plenty of room for a 40 ft. LQ trailer & good turnout for the horses in the morning. Stalls were clean & we were able to run electric cord to the barn. Thanks for letting us share your barn on our trip to Colorado!. . .Editor's Note: The travlers above who left the negative score for "24 hour monitoring" said the owners don't live on the property. If a traveler can "camp out" at the barn then security would be"positive.". . . (5/5/06) - "We had been having a lot of truck trouble. I called Mr. Clark at the last minute to see if he had anything available. We had not eaten since noon that day and Mr. Clark met us in town and took us to get something to eat at 11:00 p.m. the night we arrived. He helped us get our trailer set up and horse settled and even fed our horse the next morning for us. After we got on the road the next morning he called that afternoon to see how our truck was doing and if we were okay. His hospitality was the greatest!!!!". . .(2/10/08) - "My horse and I were well cared for. Great place with great people."
