Natural splendor near Arkansas vacation home rentals
Arkansas invites vacationers to explore a world of wilderness wonders in parks filled with mountains, forests, caves, rivers and hot springs. Most cities here are on the smaller side, but still hold a wealth of historic and cultural attractions, including museums dedicated to civil rights and former presidents in the capital of Little Rock. When you've selected a hub for your adventures in the Natural State, you'll find a range of Arkansas vacation rentals await, from quiet cabins buried in national forests and waterfront accommodations with views over lakes and rivers, to downtown properties in convenient reach of shopping and dining venues.
Tourist attractions near Arkansas vacation rentals
One of the most-fascinating natural attractions in Arkansas, Hot Springs National Park is a thermal water haven with its old-time spas. You can still soak here at a 1912 bathhouse or visit a more modern spa for a range of massage treatments. Elsewhere in the park, 26 miles of trails are perfect for family hikes along tree-lined paths, while an observation deck 100s of feet in the air offers views of the Ouachita Mountains. The neighboring town of Hot Springs is on the Ouachita River, where you can visit the stunning Garvan Woodland Gardens, a botanical oasis with a kid-friendly play area.
What to do near Arkansas vacation homes
With so many historic sites to discover, the Arkansas Heritage Trails are a great place to start, with paths that trace the Trail of Tears and various Civil War sites. On sightseeing drives along these routes, you'll experience some of the state's incredible natural landscapes and historic cities like the old frontier military post of Fort Smith. Many of the trails pass through the capital city of Little Rock, where you can visit a presidential library, the Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site and museums dedicated to state and military history.
Climate for your trip to Arkansas vacation rentals
Arkansas experiences a mild 4-season climate, with summers that heat up into the 90s and winters that dip below freezing during the coldest times. Summer sees the lowest rainfall levels and is perfect for boating and fishing out on the lakes and rivers or cooling off with refreshing dips. Crowds are higher during this time though, so reserve your Arkansas vacation rental early if you plan to visit in summer. Fall is ideal for scenic hikes and drives through the wooded national parks, as the changing leaves paint the landscape in shades of orange and daytime temperatures cool off into the 60s and 70s.
