Escape to Serenity: Why StoneWind Retreat Is Our Favorite Arkansas Getaway
A couple of months ago, my husband and I packed our bags for a much-needed weekend trip. We needed a quiet break from our busy schedules, so we headed straight to StoneWind Retreat in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas. He wanted an easy stress-free weekend and I wanted something close to home, but still a getaway and we both wanted to relax.
From the second we stepped onto our deck, we fell in love. The views were breathtaking, the privacy was absolute, and the relaxed pace gave us the exact reset we needed. The luxury yurts provided us with the “chill” atmosphere we were needing.
If you are dreaming of a romantic getaway, here is why StoneWind Retreat should sit at the top of your travel list this fall.
Luxury Yurts in the Heart of the Ouachitas
Forget everything you know about camping. StoneWind Retreat redefines rustic living with its fully furnished, high-end yurts. Built on timber decks high above the rolling mountains, these yurts blend seamlessly into nature while offering all the comforts of a fine hotel.
Inside, you will find high ceilings, elegant décor, a fully equipped kitchen, and a king-sized bed. Central heating and air conditioning keep you cozy no matter the weather. We decided to pamper ourselves and have a couple’s massage.
Private Hot Tubs and Breathtaking Views
Nothing beats soaking in a hot tub while looking out over misty mountain peaks. Each yurt at StoneWind comes with its own private deck and hot tub. Let me tell you, when it came to relaxing…that hot tub put me in heaven.
After exploring local hiking trails, we spent our evenings soaking under the stars. The cool June air paired with hot, bubbly water created pure bliss. Alan, got up early, drank his coffee, while watching for deer from the deck. Whether you want to sip hot coffee while watching the morning fog roll in or enjoy a glass of wine at sunset, your private deck provides the perfect front-row seat.
Rekindle and Reconnect in Total Privacy
Life gets noisy, and finding quality time together can feel tough. StoneWind Retreat designs every aspect of its property around privacy and calm. The yurts sit far apart along the ridge, so you rarely see or hear other guests.
There are no crowded lobbies, noisy pools, or busy resort schedules. You can sleep in late, cook meals together, read on the deck, or enjoy a soothing massage. It is an ideal space for anniversaries, honeymoons, or a simple weekend away to reconnect with the person you love.
Explore Chester and Beyond
While you might never want to leave your yurt, StoneWind sits near fantastic regional attractions. Nestled near Chester, Arkansas, you are just a short drive from scenic drives along the Pig Trail National Scenic Byway, wine tasting in Altus, and antique shopping in nearby mountain towns. Autumn turns the surrounding forest into a stunning canopy of red, orange, and gold, making October one of the best times to visit.
