We’d wager that as the summertime weather hits, y’all are planning to spend a little more time on the water, right? Here in Arkansas, the stunning Natural State, visitors and locals alike adore the state's fine selection of lakes, rivers, and streams. These are splendid for anyone craving a cool dip or a relaxing float trip, but the waterways also offer some spectacular overnight destinations. If you're wondering what to do in Kirby, you'll find that there’s a way to stay right on the lake that you might not know about, and it’s the perfect way to experience the great outdoors and have a bit of privacy while you do. You see, Kirby Landing Marina and Motel has a floating cabin on Lake Greeson, and this comfy houseboat rental is the summer getaway of your dreams.
The first thing you need to know about Kirby Landing Marina and Motel is that it’s set on gorgeous Lake Greeson.
Lake Greeson is a gorgeous sporting lake in southwest Arkansas that offers its visitors the chance to swim, fish, and explore to their hearts’ content.
Of course you need to keep in mind that they’ve got a twelve room motel where you can stay. It is a marina and motel, after all.
But we’re not here to talk about the motel. We’re here to talk about its floating cabin, which comes complete with its own deck.
It has all the things you’d expect from a cabin on the ground, including a kitchen...
...and a living area with a futon. The difference is that this cabin floats.
To explore the lake you’ll have to bring your own boat or rent one, but that’s not a huge obstacle, since you can rent a boat on site at their marina.
They also have Cove Cafe, so you can buy your meals there. You won’t want for anything during your stay in the cabin at Kirby Landing Marina & Motel, and you can let the lake rock you to sleep too.
This beautiful view is definitely one worth waking up to!
