What it feels like to stay here
Mountain Harbor Resort and Spa keeps its office at 994 Mountain Harbor Road in Mt Ida, Arkansas 71957, deep in the lake country of the Ouachitas. The resort describes itself as Arkansas's premier lake resort and arranges a variety of floor plans and lake views across its lodging options. Those rooms range from rustic Arkansas lake cabins to affordable lake view guest rooms, efficiency kitchenettes, and cozy condos. The accommodations page sorts the choices into Cottages, Guest Rooms, Studios, Cabanas, Houses, Condos, The Joplin Inn, RV Sites, and Group Spaces. Harbor Marina, the Lodge Restaurant, and Turtle Cove Spa each post their own hours of operation on the resort's schedule. Covered boat storage with electricity is offered at $29 to $67 per night, which matters when the boat is the whole point of the week. All units other than certain condos are pet friendly for an additional $17.50 per night, and guests are asked to call about pets in a specific condo. Check in is 3 PM Monday through Saturday and 5 PM on Sunday, and check out is set at 11:00 a.m. The resort lists a 2025 Tripadvisor Traveler's Choice Award and a 2024 Top 100 Spas of America honor among its recognitions. Management frames every lodging facility as a custom-designed home away from home for friends, wanderers, and returning guests.
