Self Creek Lodge and Marina
4192 U.S. 70 West, Kirby
Dig for diamonds during the day at the only public diamond mine in the world --
Crater of Diamonds State Park -- and stay in an upscale Lake Greeson resort at night. After searching for diamonds you can relax on your own private back deck in your hot tub overlooking beautiful Lake Greeson.
And if you're looking for more to do, you're in luck. Boating is popular on Lake Greeson, and Self Creek has a marina that offers rental fishing boats, ski boats and party barge rentals. One of the best golf courses in Arkansas, Glenwood Country Club, is just 15 minutes away. Great hiking trails are available in the Ouachita National Forest, and Daisy State Park on Lake Greeson features renowned ATV and mountain biking trails.
Our spacious cottages -- all built in 2003 or later -- have stone fireplaces, two cable TVs, a DVD player and VCR player, fantastic views, fully equipped kitchens, washers and dryers, and private decks with cooking grills and hot tubs.
