You Wouldn’t Guess That This Fabulous Resort Is Hiding In This Small Arkansas Town
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.
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 town certainly has a lovely selection of rustic B&Bs but we do love the blend of contemporary and homey feel of this lodge.
You also don't need to worry about noisy and crowded hotel since the resort only has 15 rooms. This ensures that your stay will be a relaxing one.
In addition to a relaxing float around the pool, guests can also enjoy fishing or paddling at the resort's three ponds. Be sure to take a moment to just sit one of the rocking chairs and breathe in the fresh mountain air, too.
Bikers can rest up before cruising the Talimena Drive, families can sleep in after exploring the trails at Queen Wilhelmina State Park, and adventurers will have a place to clean up after paddling the rapids of the Cossatot River. No matter what type of vacation you're planning, the Mena Mountain Resort can be your weekend getaway. Rooms are $149/night and can be booked at this site.
