What is the best part of summer in Arkansas? Saying goodbye to the hot and humid weather to welcome the cooler autumn season, of course! While some of you don’t mind basking in the golden rays of the sun, I prefer to trade in my tank tops for cozy sweaters. Don’t get me wrong, the summer brings me joy too, especially if I can spend warm days by the water. Even better? Having an expansive yard with swinging benches, fire pits, and volleyball, surrounded by the rolling hills of the Ouachitas, to spend those final days of summer. Luckily, the Farmhouse in Glenwood offers just that and so much more. This unique riverfront farmhouse in Arkansas is the perfect destination to close out the warm weather season.   

Nestled at the foothills of the Ouachita Mountains on the banks of the Caddo River, sits the next destination for your ultimate end-of-summer adventure in Arkansas. Don’t expect to find barnyard animals at the Farmhouse; instead, you’ll find a dreamy four-bedroom home with tons of amenities and enough room for 16 or more guests. This means you can invite your large group of friends or your entire family (including your grandparents) to say goodbye to the summer in the best way.  

The minute you arrive at the property, you can’t help but fall in love with its beauty. And stepping inside is no different, as the space is overflowing with rustic charm. The farmhouse theme is evident throughout the entire house, inviting guests to embrace a relaxing vibe. I am immediately drawn to the adorable living room. Featuring comfy leather sofas, checkered armchairs, and the “Farmers Market” sign over the fireplace, this unique Airbnb could easily be plucked from the pages of Southern Living Magazine. It’s a space with large windows and natural lighting that invites guests to relax and stay for a while.  

Just as impressive is the open-concept kitchen featuring farm-themed decor with splashes of color to brighten up the space. I especially adore the garage door serving window that opens to a screened sitting area. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals for your large family. Plus, it has a coffee bar for your steaming hot morning brew. 

Designed with a large group in mind, there is plenty of room to gather and create new fun memories at this riverfront bungalow. The kids and adult kids will have plenty of entertainment options, including the arcade room with retro games, board games, toys, books, smart TVs with Netflix, and Wi-Fi.  Moreover, the game room has two futons for the true gamers in the house. 

As for the other sleeping areas, expect lots of comfy beds. There are two king master suites, one on the bottom level and the other upstairs, along with the other bedrooms in the house. The bunkroom, which features four queen beds, can sleep eight people, and the last room features two queen beds. With all this space, your group can expect to have restful nights in the cozy bedrooms.   

If I were to guess, sleep will be the last thing on your mind while spending time at the Farmhouse. After all, the adventures here are endless! Between riverfront volleyball, the swinging benches, the hammock, the slide from the patio, the outdoor games, and multiple fire pits, the backyard is the ultimate spot to say goodbye to summer.

Of course, the Caddo River is the highlight of the show. You can spend your days watching the kayakers and paddlers drift by. Or better yet, join the fun on your own floating adventure. The host is partnered with Caddo River Canoe Rental, and they will pick you up from the cabin and facilitate your entire float trip. How cool is that?   

If you’re here when the weather is still warm, then dip your feet in the cool river water. When you’re not making a splash or floating the waterway, settle in by the fire pit on the banks of the scenic river and soak up the mountain and water views. Though the yard is packed with adventure, you can still find time to slow down, unwind, and say goodbye to your epic summer. Since your evenings will be filled with the crisp autumn breeze, it’s the perfect time to grab your coziest sweater and roast marshmallows by the campfire. If you ask me, this is the perfect way to welcome fall in Arkansas.
