Mountain Harbor Resort proudly introduces Joplin Inn

Harbor proudly opened the newly acquired Joplin Inn, formerly the Colonial Motel, this past weekend. Located at the intersection of Mountain Harbor Road and Hwy 270, this facility adds variety and value to the many exciting options available to resort guests. The convenient roadside access, same economy pricing, and newly remodeled rooms offer a wonderful stopping place for travelers along the highway and visitors to the Lake Ouachita area. Joplin Inn guests enjoy the same excellent customer service standards and wonderful resort amenities (including Lodge Restaurant deliveries, access to the three property swimming pools, launching ramp, hiking and biking trails, riding stables, and MORE!) offered to Harbor guests – all a short 2 1/2-mile drive away.

The Joplin Store – just across from the Inn – offers guests hot pizza, delicious breakfasts and lunches, fresh salads, snacks and sundries, supplies and lottery tickets, DVD/DVD player rentals, friendly, knowledgeable staff, and all reception needs for the Joplin Inn lodging accommodations. Contact the Joplin Store by calling 870-867-2400.

Joplin Inn reservations can be made by calling the Harbor Lodge Reception Desk at 870-867-2191. We look forward to inviting you all to our official opening and ribbon-cutting in March, 2013. We hope you enjoy the images below of all the progress made in the rooms. The house and suite will soon follow with updates and new, cozy furniture and bedding. We are extremely proud to continue the local, family-owned legacy of this special place. We hope that Harbor guests come to enjoy the roadside access, vintage appeal, and great rates available at the newest addition to Mountain Harbor Resort and Spa.

Fall Weddings at Lake Ouachita

To so many of us, Harbor is a little village, or it’s a summer getaway spot. The natural beauty of the area, however, is also (to noone’s suprise!) a wonderful backdrop to a wedding. Fall weddings are lovely in the Ouachitas – with the rich colors of the trees, the calm lake, and the raw shoreline exposed as the waters recede. 2012 has been a wonderful Autumn wedding year on our shores. In short, the couples this season just seem to “get it” in terms of what Mountain Harbor is all about. Each special ceremony from September through this past weekend has captured Mountain Harbor in a special Fall style. We love being the destination for vows and memories that bind families and friends for years to come. We wish all the happiness in the world to the newlyweds who celebrated with us here … the images absolutely speak for themselves.

What is a Fall wedding, without a little bit of Harbor MAGIC?! … these brides and grooms might say that a little Harbor twist made all the difference in the world.

Rest assured – all of the staff and families at Harbor know all too well that we are merely a setting. The only reason for such a wonderful Fall wedding season has been the love brought and expressed by these very special wedding families. It’s been our pleasure to watch each unique event unfold on our shores.
