Book a romantic cabin in an Arkansas State Park: Nothing says get away from it all like a trip to a cabin out in the beautiful splendor of nature. Even in the depths of winter, your Arkansas State Parks have plenty of romance and charm, from the soaring heights of Mount Magazine to lakeside abodes. Of the 52 Arkansas State Parks, 12 of them feature cabins for rent, ranging from rustic cabins built during the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps, to more refined cabins with all the amenities including Jacuzzi-style tubs and large wood-burning fireplaces. When it comes to serious romance, there's not much better than a cabin, a roaring fire and the one you love miles from nowhere. Visit arkansasstateparks.com/accommodations for more details.
Snag a suite in Eureka Springs: When it comes to beautiful lodging in the most romantic spot imaginable, the sleepy Victorian village of Eureka Springs up in Carroll County is definitely in the running for the most amour-friendly town in Arkansas. Packed with quaint shops, beautiful old hotels and fun nightlife, Eureka goes all in for love in February, pouring on the Valentine's Day charm. If you want to stay right in the middle of everything, book a corner suite at the beautiful and historic 1903 Basin Park Hotel, or set yourself up with an afternoon of pampering at the Blue Moon Spa at the legendary Crescent Hotel, which features moonlit walks, an ice-skating rink, and some of the best views of the surrounding countryside. For dinner, try Le Stick Nouveau in the New Orleans Hotel for perfect French cuisine.
Set your heart on Memphis: Now that the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department has mostly completed their years-long construction projects along I-30 between Little Rock and Memphis, the Queen City of the Delta is reachable in under an hour and a half from central Arkansas and has plenty of charms for day-trippers or those looking for a fun weekend jaunt. For luxurious lodging and some of the best views of the city, try the Memphis Hilton, or go old school and visit the Peabody Hotel downtown. After the sun goes down, Memphis nightlife is legendary, and Beale Street features some of the best food, drink and fun to be found anywhere, including iconic venues and shopping like B.B. King's, A. Schwab's Store and the New Daisy Theatre. If the weather is nice, take your honey for a stroll through the excellent Memphis Zoo, which features hundreds of unique species found nowhere else in the region, including Nile crocodiles, Hippos, Komodo Dragons and the area's only panda bears. And food? Forget about it. Barbecue is king in Memphis, from perfect pork at Central Barbecue to the righteous ribs at the Rendezvous, there's a way to the heart of any food lover.
Whether you're looking to get away from it all or get up to some fun with your honey this Valentine's Day, there's plenty of great options for folks living here in Arkansas.
