About

• The Kalahari suite is a cozy escape with an exotic theme of bamboo and jewel tones throughout. The artistic bamboo headboard above the Queen bed is complemented by original abstract art from Lisa Wilson and D. Arthur Wilson's Wild Expressionism limited editions. Scott Smith's up close and personal experiences are captured perfectly in his photographs of several animals as well. As you relax on either the front or back decks, the gentle caroling of the big cats is music to your ears!

• This suite sleeps 2 guests above the age of 18 and is open from March until November.

• The Refuge is a nonprofit organization and the cost of your stay goes toward the care of our animal residents.

INCLEMENT WEATHER: Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge does close during extreme weather conditions. We do not typically close for basic weather like rain or wind, but it depends on the severity of the weather. The team will monitor weather situations to make the call to close the refuge when the weather is deemed too dangerous for visitors and staff. Announcements will not be made until the day of the closing since the weather in North West Arkansas can change quickly. Some weather conditions that might constitute closing the refuge are lightning(which may delay tours), tornados, fires, extreme temperatures, blizzards, freezing rain, icy road conditions, and other violent acts of nature. If any of these situations are predicted please check for closing information on our social media accounts or call the refuge to double-check.

QUIET TIME: 11 pm to 8 am is designated as a quiet time for all overnight lodging guests.

NON-SMOKING: All of our rooms are non-smoking non-vape rooms. If you smoke in your room, a $250.00 Smoking Penalty Charge will be charged to the credit card on file. If you are a smoker, please ensure that any doors or windows in your room are closed to prevent cigarette smoke and Vape fumes from getting into the room. Smoking of any kind is prohibited in the Self-Discovery area, on the tour loop, or within 6 feet of any animal enclosure.
