I grew up in the small town of Buena Vista, located in the upper Arkansas valley. Our family’s history in this town began in the late 1800’s when my family moved to the area to become miners. For over 40 years, my family has been in the greenhouse business. However, starting a hot springs resort has been an ongoing family dream for many years. The beginning stage is a grill and hot springs soaking pools

In hopes of bringing in extra income to make our dream of opening Charlotte Hot Springs Resort, we have renovated an original 1800’s cabin. The Merrifield and Holloway families built cabins next to each other, on the border of Cottonwood Creek, nestled away in the mountains.
We have fully restored our Holloway cabin and are in the process of restoring the Merrifield cabin. Renovations are modern, while still maintaining that rustic cabin feel. Our cabin includes a full kitchen and bathroom; a loft with a queen-size bed, futon, and a table that converts into a queen-size bed. We created a custom, odorless hot springs tub. There is a wood burning stove to keep you cozy and a television in case you want to kick back and relax with a movie. We have designed our cabin to leave you feeling refreshed and longing for your next trip back to this private getaway.
