We recently discussed cozy cabins that make your stay a delight, and that led us to think about all the great places to visit in Arkansas in the fall. Nothing says fall is here like gorgeous foliage, crisp weather that’s perfect for exploring both natural beauty and manufactured wonders, and a comfy spot where you can take shelter from the nip in the air. These 10 places offer all of that, and so much more.

1. Sleep on top of the world at the lodge on Mount Magazine.

You don’t have to make Mount Magazine a drive and stop adventure—you can gaze at the gorgeous fall foliage, eat at the fantastic lodge restaurant, and cuddle up for the night right on top of the mountain for one of the most surreal fall getaways in Arkansas.

2. Stay in at the Lookout Point Lakeside Inn in Hot Springs.

This bed and breakfast is a Hot Springs favorite, both for its cozy atmosphere and gorgeous views of Lake Hamilton. There’s no better time than the fall to stay in this lakeside retreat, where you'll be met with a kaleidoscope of color everywhere you look.

3. Cuddle up by the campfire on Mount Nebo.

You’ll find 34 campsites at Mount Nebo, and let’s face it, there’s no better time to cozy up with some fireside chat than a beautiful Arkansas autumn. During the day you can explore miles of trails and beautiful waterfalls. If you’re not into camping out, you can always book one of their eight cabins for a more comfortable stay.

4. Have an off-season adventure on the Buffalo River.

There’s nothing quite like seeing gorgeous fall foliage from the river and then camping out underneath the stars. A great place to get started on your Buffalo adventure is in the town of

Ponca. You’ll find plenty of outfitters there. If you’re not too keen on floating overnight, you can always rent a cabin and spend your daytime hours exploring the river.

5. Go back in time at the Captain Henderson House in Arkadelphia.

This old timey bed and breakfast offers guests an experience from a bygone era. The Captain Henderson House is comfortably situated on the tree-lined campus of Henderson State University, and it’s one of the most charming fall getaways in Arkansas.

6. Relax in your own hobbit hole or tree house at Oak Crest Cottages

Eureka Springs is one of the best places to visit in Arkansas in the fall, and a stay at Oak Crest's unique themed cottages and treehouses makes it an unforgettable experience. If you’re not into hobbits or caves, you can choose to sleep among the changing leaves in a tree house.

7. Wrap yourself in the mountains while staying in a yurt.

For a truly raw and natural fall getaway in Arkansas, rent a yurt for a weekend. The unique experience of staying in a "year-round universal recreational tent" is something every Arkansan should try at least once. There are three yurts at DeGray Lake Resort State Park. All three come complete with wood floors and screened windows, and the bare essentials for a comfortable say in nature.

8. Have a bath with a view at Beaver Lake.

At Beaver Lakefront Cabins, you can enjoy the lake from your own private living room. Each cabin has glass walls that allow you to gaze out at the changing colors from the comfort of your comfy couch. The oversized Jacuzzi tubs set right next to the deck and windows look super cozy, doesn't it?

9. Luxuriate in the arts in Bentonville.

Bentonville is located in the Ozarks, one of the best places to visit in Arkansas in the fall.

21C Museum Hotel is a luxurious place to cozy up for a weekend. It’s full of art and little details that will make your stay pure joy. While you’re up in Bentonville, you should check out Arkansas’s world class art museum, Crystal Bridges.

10. Find Shangri-la in Mount Ida.

If you’re looking to see the clearest lake in Arkansas in its full autumnal glory, head to Mount Ida and seek out Shangri-la Resort. These cozy cottages come with fully furnished kitchens and views of Lake Ouachita. You can rent a party barge or a fully equipped fishing boat there, and spend as much time among the turning leaves as your little heart desires.
