Mountain Harbor Resort offers the finest in lodging, dining, and recreation making it perfect for families, honeymoons, or any getaway.

Disconnect from the stresses of life and reconnect with nature, your family and friends...and yourself. The natural beauty of your surroundings beckons you outdoors. Every season offers something special. Enjoying outdoor adventures is good for your body and soul. For more information check mountainharborresort.com and hotsprings.org.
