Horseshoe Bend is a small town of 2,200 people tucked at the southern edge of the Arkansas Ozarks. This same mountain range forms the valleys that are home to picturesque fishing waters, like the Strawberry River. Even though Horseshoe Bend only has one hotel, travelers can find more lodging choices nearby. Visitors to Horseshoe Bend will be able to enjoy fishing and swimming in one of the four area lakes. Local entertainment includes Music in the Mountains at the Horseshoe Bend Theater.
Though travelers can also stay at the RV park or the Crown Point Resort, Hillhigh Hotel Spa and Golf is the only hotel in Horseshoe Bend. All 80 rooms at this service hotel have exterior entrances, their own private bath, in-room refrigerators, microwaves and cable TV. The on-site Carriage Room Supper Club provides dinner service and can seat up to 100 people. The adjacent Cedar Glade golf course includes par 3 greens and a particularly tricky water hazard on hole 3.
Travelers can play in the large indoor swimming pool, or relax in the whirlpool, sauna or steam room. A massage therapist also is available. For extra value, check online for current specials that combine hotel accommodations with golfing and dining for weekend getaways and one-week retreats.
