Directions:
The drive from Fayetteville to Mountainburg is one of the most scenic in Arkansas. While you can take the "fast" way via I-49, the route to this specific property is much more enjoyable if you embrace the curves of the historic highway.
Here are the directions for the roughly 35-minute drive:
️ The Route
-
Start in Fayetteville: Head south on I-49 S toward Fort Smith.
-
Take Exit 53 (West Fork): After about 10 miles, exit the interstate at West Fork.
-
Merge onto Hwy 71: Turn left (south) onto US-71 S / N Archibald Helm Rd.
-
Enjoy the Scenic Drive: Stay on US-71 S for approximately 18 miles. You will wind through the Boston Mountains, passing through the town of Winslow.
-
Arrive at the Property: As you descend toward Mountainburg, look for the property on the East (left-hand) side of the highway.
-
Pro Tip: If you reach the turn-off for Lake Fort Smith State Park, you’ve gone about 4 miles too far south!
-
