The last three trees
Why the septic test area mattered, and what clearing it looked like from the ground.
Domes
Wake up under a wall of sky. Full bed, real bathroom, heat and air, and a view that changes by the hour.

Domes, yurts, and cabins
in the Arkansas Ozarks
Slow down. Stay awhile. Leave restored.
A private glamping retreat in Northwest Arkansas, built by two best friends who believe the best memories are made when we slow down and enjoy them together. Opening spring 2027.

We are taking names now. Founding guests hear about dates and rates before anyone else.
Three ways to stay
Pick your dome, yurt or cabin by name, not by chance.
Every stay here has its own name, its own spot on the property and its own story. Browse them first, then book the exact one you want.

Yurts
Round rooms, soft light through the dome window, and the sound of the Ozarks all night.
From $TBD per night, placeholder
Cabins
For longer stays and families. A real kitchen, a porch to sit on, and the woods at the door.

The experience
Your stay, thoughtfully unplugged.
Every detail is designed to help you slow down, settle in, and reconnect: with nature, with the people you love, and with yourself.
Arrive to ease
From the moment you enter Magnolia Springs, the pace changes. Follow the quiet drive through the trees, breathe in the fresh air, and let the grounds welcome you in.
Comfort in the wild
Sleep beneath the stars without giving up the comforts you love. Soft linens, welcoming spaces, and the little touches that turn a night away into a true retreat.
Days made for wandering
Mornings begin slowly with coffee and birdsong. Explore, read in the shade, gather with friends, or simply enjoy the stillness.
Leave restored
Whether you come for a romantic escape, a family adventure, or a peaceful reset, you will leave refreshed, reconnected, and already planning your next stay.
Meet a few of the stays
Eighteen named stays, each with a story.
Unit names are Scott and Kristi's. Which ones are domes, yurts or cabins is a placeholder guess until you tell us.
The Monroe
The one you book for an anniversary. Big window to the west, private deck, fire ring.

Lou's Library
Shelves, a reading chair, no signal. Bring the book you keep meaning to finish.
Gatherings and retreats
The Verge: 1,900 square feet under one dome.
Team offsites, family reunions, workshops and weddings, with the whole retreat around it. Book the room, or book the property.
Placeholder: capacity, layouts and pricing to be confirmed with Scott and Kristi.

Our story
Named for Kristi's mother, whose favorite flower was the magnolia.
The Retreat at Magnolia Springs was created from a simple belief: life feels better when we slow down. Scott and Kristi are husband and wife, business partners, and, most importantly, best friends.
