Nestled on the shoreline of Arkansas’ largest wilderness lake, Mountain Harbor Resort & Spa is a premier lake spa vacation resort. Located just 23 miles west of Hot Springs, Arkansas, on pristine Lake Ouachita in the Ouachita National Forest, the resort offers a variety of lodging options from cozy guest rooms to beautifully appointed 2 bedroom-2 bath and 3 bedroom- 3 bath lake view log-sided cottages with fully equipped kitchens, hot tubs and fireplaces. Most recently, the Resort added their nationally acclaimed full service spa, Turtle Cove Spa, which offers a full range of spa services and features a wilderness spa pavilion where guests can enjoy a variety of signature spa treatments in a unique lake and forest setting. It is right at the water’s edge so spa customers can even come by boat for spa services. The Spa incorporates its natural surroundings whenever possible, and recently introduced a signature treatment, the Crystal Energy Balance Therapy, which utilizes heated and polished Arkansas quartz crystals (mined locally and known worldwide), a vibro-acoustic sound table and tuning forks to balance the chakras.
