Fishing, golf, watersports, breathtaking mountains and lake scenery welcome visitors to this easygoing town in Northern Arkansas.

Outdoor recreation, such as watersports, fishing and golf, make Mountain Home a popular vacation, daytrip and weekend getaway destination. Mountain Home is a pretty town in Northern Arkansas nestled between glorious lakes and rivers in the foothills of the rolling Ozark Mountains.

Mountain Home’s major attractions sit within its picturesque natural surroundings, which are just a short drive from the town center.

Walk across the 256-foot-tall (78-meter) Bull Shoals Dam. Join a guided tour of the millennia-old limestone caves of Bull Shoals Caverns. Learn about the communities of the Ozark Mountains at Mountain Village 1890.

Nice Place
"It would have been a good place to stay but my stay was cut short when my mom passed away. This is the only reason I rented the room as a 30-minute drive each way while my mom was in ICU just wasn't something I wanted to do."
