Mountain Thyme Bed & Breakfast Inn

Just north of Hot Springs, this 8-room inn was designed and built in 1998 as a romantic getaway and a place for true relaxation. Luxurious linens and a sumptuous gourmet breakfast are just the basics here. The inn is situated on 9 wooded acres just outside the Ouachita National Forest. Campfires, fireplaces, and lap blankets on the wrap around porch mark the colder months. The summer is punctuated by fireflies, tree frogs and a walk on our path through the woods. As the sun goes down, a cool summer breeze reminds one of life outside the asphalt and concrete of the city. And, of course, spring blooms and fall foliage are major highlights at this year round destination.

Whether drawn by the scenic drives through the Ouachita Mountains, the clean waters of Lake Ouachita, or the romantic history of Hot Springs National Park, each day begins and ends in a beautiful and tranquil environment.

See photos and learn more at MountainThymecom. Then, come enjoy our “little bit of heaven” in the foothills of the Ouachita Mountains.
