< 1 Mi to Dtwn Texarkana: Couple's Retreat w/ Yard
Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Overview
This 1-bedroom, 1-bath vacation rental apartment sits less than a mile from downtown Texarkana, offering a private, couple-focused retreat at the point where Texas and Arkansas meet. The single-story unit features a king bed, keyless entry, and a fenced-in backyard, making it a quiet home base rather than a traditional hotel. Note that an additional rental unit exists on-site with its own nightly rate, so other travelers may occasionally be present.
Kitchen & Indoor Living
The kitchen is fully equipped with a stove/oven, refrigerator, microwave, Keurig coffee maker with coffee provided, blender, toaster, toaster oven, spices, and full cooking basics, dishware, and flatware, making self-catering easy. Indoor living spaces include a smart TV, dining table, and board games and books for downtime. Central heating and A/C, linens, towels, and an iron/board round out the practical comforts.
Outdoor Living
Guests can grill on the charcoal grill (charcoal provided) or relax in the fenced-in backyard, complete with a dining area shaded by an umbrella. A porch with rocking chairs and a porch swing offers a spot for morning coffee, and the patio and outdoor grill make evening cookouts simple.
Location & Dining
The property is about 0.8 miles from Downtown Texarkana and 0.4 miles from the Texas/Arkansas state line, with easy access to I-30, I-49, U.S. Route 67, and U.S. Route 82. It's within a few miles of numerous dining options including Church's Texas Chicken (570m), Fat Jacks Oyster and Sports Bar (2km), Wingstop, Jaggers, Bubba's 33, Texas Roadhouse, IHOP, and Applebee's Grill + Bar. Nearby bus stops (as close as 124m) and the Texarkana Amtrak station (about 2km) provide transit options, while Texarkana Regional Airport is roughly 4.6km away.
Practical Details
Parking is available via a shared carport for one vehicle plus free street parking, and laundry is handled through a shared coin laundry. The home is pet-friendly for a $65 fee (one pet maximum, plus taxes and fees), and two exterior security cameras face outward toward the porch and street for guest safety, not into interior spaces.
Best for
This rental is best suited for couples seeking a private, self-catered getaway close to downtown Texarkana, thanks to its king bed, fenced backyard, and porch seating. It also works well for pet owners, given the pet-friendly policy, and for road-trippers, given the easy access to I-30, I-49, and U.S. Routes 67 and 82.
Travel tips
Bring a vehicle if possible, since parking is limited to a shared one-car carport plus free street parking, though the property is also within walking distance (around 124m to 688m) of several bus stops. The Texarkana Amtrak station is about 2 miles away and Texarkana Regional Airport about 3 miles away, so both rail and air travelers have reasonably short transfers. Downtown Texarkana and the Rail Yard Entertainment District are less than a mile away, making an evening stroll or short drive an easy way to reach restaurants and nightlife.
