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, Heber Springs, and Calico Rock 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!
Your only job is to relax.
We handle 100% of the guest experience for properties we own and those we represent. Our team is passionate about what this area has to offer, and that our guests make amazing memories to last a lifetime.

Meet Our Team
Nick Nichols | Property Service
Nick is an Arkansas native that discovered Stone County in the early 90s. Looking for his place in the world, Nick visited 46 states and held dozens of jobs – only to find himself back in Stone County for a three month job. He never left – just a few hours from his birthplace – he had found his home. The very next year he built his first house and immersed himself in the local arts and crafts scene, while raising animals and gardening. Nick handles remodels, maintenance, and guest relations for each of our properties. On the rare occasion you don’t find him at one of our cabins, Nick is most likely deep in the Ozark National Forest, floating on the White River, or tossing a delicious pizza at the local Tommy’s Famous Pizzeria.
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.
Cheyenne Morrow | Guest Services
I was born and raised in rural Arkansas, in a small town named Big Flat, and recently moved back to the area with my husband. Being a Mountain View alumni, I know the way around Stone County quite well. Cattle farming, gardening, horseback riding, & kayaking the Buffalo National River are a few of my hobbies here in the Natural State. I’m so thankful to call the Ozarks home.
You’ll find me answering emails and calls from our office line. Making connections with our owners & guests is one of the many highlights of being apart of this amazing team here at Ivy Vacations!
Virginia Ivy
If the conditions are right, Virginia is in a canoe on the creek with a growler from Gravity Brew Works. (with 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.
Danielle “Woodsy” Woods | Finance
Windows down, doggie in tow, “Woodsy” has traveled from coast to coast following her bliss in the woods and shores of our great nation. Again and again, she has returned to the Ozark Mountains – specifically Mountain View. Danielle loves a balanced spreadsheet as much as she does paddling a stream. An audited owner’s statement that even our CPA can’t punch holes in gives her as much pride as the campfire singalongs she initiates and strums for. On occasion, you might catch her volunteer answering our main office line welcoming guests…for a reminder of what this company is all about. Look for her Nat Geo-like pictures of our Natural State often highlighted in our weekly newsletters.
Leigh Anna Gildner | Marketing
I grew up in the boonies outside Little Rock, AR, and spent every last free moment in the backwoods of the Ozarks. From tagging along with my mando-pickin’ friends to BeanFest, trail running the Ozark Highland’s 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 the most joy is a dream come true. Y’all come see why we love this place so much!
