You don’t need to splurge on expensive airline tickets when you live in Arkansas. The Natural State is filled with beautiful and unique spots that don’t take a life savings to afford. One of the best small town destinations in Arkansas is Mena. The quiet railroad town happens to have a tucked away resort that’s perfect for your next trip. Let’s take a peek at this lovely mountainside getaway.

The Mena Mountain Resort is a perfectly tucked away paradise surrounded by the area's scenic beauty.

This fabulous lodge is the brainchild of Lou Longoria and Denni Collins. The property began as a small stone cottage purchased in 2004 but has since evolved into a full fledged mountain resort. It's located at 2817 Highway 71 N., Mena, AR 71953.
The sleek and modern feel of this resort is a rather unexpected find in the charming small town of Mena.
