It’s the perfect place to go if you want a mixture of pampering and outdoor recreation. You can relax in the spa located on the second floor or head outdoors and enjoy nature at its finest.

Just down the road is the Chickasaw National Recreation Area - home to many natural mineral springs and mini waterfalls. You are allowed to swim here, so it’s a great place to visit in the middle of summer. The area is also filled with hiking trails, so be sure and pack a good pair of walking shoes.
