Folklore Lodges*
Omaha, Arkansas
Set on approximately 1,071 acres in Omaha, Arkansas, Folklore Lodges is an immersive outdoor destination deeply rooted in the natural beauty and mythology of the Ozark Mountains. A restorative retreat woven directly into the region's ancient plateaus, creek beds, and mixed hardwood forests, Folklore Lodges invites guests to slow down and experience the landscape. The development is carefully integrated into the terrain, offering a seamless gateway to outdoor adventure and a tranquil connection with nature.
The master plan is organized into six distinct districts, with initial development focused on the Lore Outpost and Legend Crossing phases. Lore Outpost serves as the resort's welcoming gateway and operational hub, featuring sparkling ponds, event venues, and introductory ranchettes. Legend Crossing serves as the masterpiece anchor of the site, centered around a 60-room boutique Lodge equipped with a soaring multi-story library, restaurants, and bars. This hub provides access to a variety of recreational amenities, including a putting club, hiking and ATV trails, exploratory caves, and the restorative Fable Springs Spas.
To accommodate a wide range of visitors, Folklore Lodges blends boutique comfort with the wilderness. Guests can choose from elevated treehouse cabins in the oak canopy, contemporary rustic family cabins, and secluded thermal cabins located steps from the spa facilities. For those seeking a closer connection to the outdoors, the resort also provides multiple types of camping experiences including clear-topped stargazing domes, historic-inspired Conestoga wagons, fully equipped RV sites, and traditional tent camping.
