Get to know us!
Ivy Vacations is a locally owned and operated full service professional management company based in Mountain View, Arkansas. Built from the ground up organically – the very first to take on short term rentals in our corner of the Ozarks. We have properties in the Mountain View and Heber Springs areas: far away in the woods, on a historic town square, or right next to the best trout fishing on the White River or Little Red River - you’ll be sure to find your breathing space with us!
Meet Our Team
Teresa Dixon | Operations
I was born in Leslie, Arkansas and raised in Mountain View, Arkansas – so I’ve basically lived here my whole life! My husband and I have also raised our daughter and two sons in Stone County. Being an only child, I love the fact that I am here close to where my parents are.
I enjoy amateur photography and have a wonder and love of animals and nature. We enjoy camping, fishing, and visiting two of our children that now call NWA home. I enjoy being a part of Ivy Vacations and its wonderful team of people.
P.S. Read more about our favorite Teresa here. Without her, we’d be OH so lost.
Virginia Ivy | Owner
If the conditions are right, Virginia is in a canoe on the creek with a growler from Gravity Brew Works. Because of the burgeoning vacay biz – that hasn’t happened for a while, unfortunately. Between 2003-2016 she was a Sr. Business Analyst with a $B corporate travel agency in NYC/ London. She is from Mississippi and has lived in Memphis, TN, Gold Hill, CO, and Mokuleia, HI. She visited Mountain View on a long weekend in 2007 and essentially never left. Prior to that she owned and operated a café and live music venue in Memphis called The Map Room. She’s had real estate license in her side pocket for a couple decades – currently with Ozark Rivers Realty.
Leigh Anna Gildner | Managing Director
I grew up in Searcy, and spent every last free moment up in the Ozark backwoods. From tagging along with my mando-pickin’ friends to BeanFest, trail running the Ozark Highland Trail, and discovering fly-fishing on the Sylamore Creek…Mountain View has such a big place in my heart. After staying at one of Virginia’s cabins during a stressful stint in corporate finance, the decision to join Ivy Vacations a few years later was absolutely instinctive. Promoting the people, rivers, and trails that bring me so much joy is a dream come true.
