Come Sit on the Mountain
Enjoy, Rest, Renew, Restore

StoneWind's Yurt Cabins with their peaceful views of the Boston Mountains and the Ozark National Forest are the perfect setting for a honeymoon, a romantic getaway, an anniversary celebration, a weekend vacation, or a personal retreat for much needed "down-time" from the stress of life. Our luxurious cabins are built on 40'x40' decks, most with hot tubs, all with beautiful views of the mountains. We invite you to slow down, unwind, stroll our hills and ravines, enjoy a relaxing Massage from our licensed Massage Therapist, sit on your deck and take in the beauty of sunrises and sunsets over the mountains, then lounge in your private hot tub and watch the night sky.

Located on 160 mountain top acres above Chester, Arkansas midway between Fort Smith and Fayetteville, our Yurt Cabins, most with hot tubs on the decks, are ideal for long or short term stays with fully equipped kitchens, large showers, central heat/air, log flame gas stoves, elegant furnishings, custom beds, and a range of amenities to make your stay fun and convenient. Everything is designed for your convenience so you can relax in comfort surrounded by the graceful beauty of our Yurt Cabins and the rugged beauty of mountains, ponds, and forests.

Designed to accommodate two people in luxury, three if one is willing to use the futon that makes into a full bed, each Cabin is a large circular room with the living, sleeping, kitchen and dining areas designed around the furniture. The bath and utility area are separate rooms within the circular space. Wooden screens allow Guests to further separate areas of the open living space to suit themselves. Occupancy is limited to no more than three people except in one Vacation Yurt with two double beds.

So come and walk our 160 acres and enjoy the beauty of our meditation trails and stone gardens. A hike in the Ozark National Forest is as simple as walking through a gate or you can go on day trips to Devil's Den State Park 20 minutes away. Fayetteville, home of the Razorbacks, is 30 minutes north on I-540 with many exciting cultural attractions, theatres, fine dining, excellent shopping, and of course the University of Arkansas. Van Buren, a few minutes south, has a fine antique district for your shopping fun and a relaxed atmosphere to connect with earlier times. The newly re-opened Lake Fort Smith, ten minutes away, features kyaking, boat rentals, fishing, and a host of outdoor activities.

If you are a Meditator, a Chi Kung (Qigong), or Reiki enthusiast, would like to be one, or are just curious, attend any of the free introductory lectures on forms of integrative healing available on a regular basis and by request at StoneWind Institute for Mind Body Medicine, located on the Retreat campus.

Everything at StoneWind invites you to slow down, unplug, have fun, and reconnect with the beauty and rhythms of nature, with the healing energies of Earth and Wind. Not a bad way to live...a good place to visit.
