We’d like to introduce you to the rest of our family

Bill and Debi Barnes, Sam and Harbor

It was over 51 years ago when my father, Hal Barnes, on vacation in Arkansas, discovered a beautiful lake in the heart of the Ouachita National Forest. Before returning home with us, Dad presented a bid to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for a lease on a beautiful harbor, which was to become Mountain Harbor Resort on Lake Ouachita. It was his dream to build an Arkansas marina on the raw shoreline beneath the rolling slopes of Hickory Nut Mountain. That dream has grown to encompass three beautiful Arkansas lakes: Lake Ouachita, Lake Greeson and DeGray Lake.

Iron Mountain Lodge and Marina on DeGray Lake, Mountain Harbor Resort and Spa on Lake Ouachita, and Self Creek Lodge and Marina on Lake Greeson now make up our Tri-Pennant Family of Resorts. We are family owned and operated with over five decades of lake resort management experience. Not only do we share the tri-pennant in each of our logos, but we also bring you our heritage of offering the finest in lake resort facilities and personal service.

And now we are proud to introduce our newest facility to the Tri-Pennant family that opened in the fall of 2005-- Harbor House on the River. We wanted our guests to be able to enjoy trout fishing on the Little Red River, near Heber Springs, Arkansas for a whole new water experience!! Our four bedroom-four bath home—furnished “Harbor style” in an eclectic blend of antiques and contemporary furnishings—offers all the comforts of our accommodations of our three resorts, but this time you’ll be overlooking the Little Red River. Harbor House on the River is managed by our good friends, the Lindseys, at the family owned and operated Lindsey’s Resort.

We invite you to visit each of our resorts and Harbor House—and let us know what you think!
