On April 8, 2024, the Great North American Eclipse will make its mark in Arkansas! Nearly 2/3 of the state will be in total darkness for more than four minutes – longer than only two other eclipses in history.
For a “once in a life time event” you deserve a resort experience! Our cottages, cabanas, lakeside guest rooms and studios the perfect HQ for your eclipse experience! Our signature Harbor North log sided cottages offer rustic lake luxury with thoughtfully appointed kitchens, lakeview decks with hot tubs and all the space and comfort you need to experience Lake Ouachita and the Ouachita National Forest. Our lakeside guest rooms offer affordable comfort within walking distance of our restaurant, marina and courtyard with fireplace and firepit. Our Lodge cottages offer all the same conveniences with two bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and deck with hot tub. Our convenient studios and cabanas combine affordability with the addition of a stocked kitchen. For the greatest economy, our Joplin Inn, located at our entrance on Highway 270, offers all the amenities of Mountain Harbor at our very best pricing!
Special Eclipse Lodge Reservation Policy
There is a 5 night minimum. The reason for the 5 night minimum is to insure the safety of our guests. We have been told to expect the roads to be choked with traffic and arriving a couple days early and waiting 2 days to depart will go a long way towards creating a safe driving experience arriving and departing. The state of Arkansas is encouraging this minimum.
All reservations require payment in full at time reservation is made.
We must receive a cancellation notice by September 1, 2023 to refund guests deposit – minus a cancellation fee that will be equal to two nights. Reservations made after September 1, 2023 will be subject to this policy.
Any cancellations after January 9, 2024 will be non-refundable.
Lake Ouachita is the perfect place to immerse yourself in the 2024 Eclipse experience! Our 26’ and 30’ party barges are perfect for exploring Lake Ouachita in comfort and style!
