“Definitely will stay here again if we're in the area! Very nice layout. Definitely a place to stay with a group of people. Had coffee with the owner one morning and felt like I was talking to an old friend!”

“We have been staying, twice a year, since 2019. We stay for our family reunion, and each time, more family join us at the resort. Home away from home. The rooms are spacious, the beds are comfortable, every amenity thought of and taken care of!”

“Recently took a fall foliage drive thru Oklahoma & Arkansas & needed a place to stay overnight. This was an awesome find, so much so we were sad we didn't have time to spend a few more days. The place is absolutely lovely. The owners left no stones unturned. Rooms are spacious & extremely comfortable. Thank you Denni for such an enjoyable stay.”

“We had such a great stay at Mena Mountain Resort. Lou and Denni were the absolute best hosts and made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. Everything was clean, comfortable, and relaxing, and you can tell they truly care about making sure their guests have a great experience. We already can’t wait to come back again. Highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a peaceful getaway!”
