When is the best time to go to Side Town?

The best time to visit Side Town is during the spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) months. These periods offer the most pleasant weather, with mild temperatures and less humidity, making it ideal for exploring the outdoors and enjoying the town's attractions. You'll find fewer crowds compared to the peak summer season, allowing for a more relaxed experience. For those interested in hiking and outdoor activities, spring brings blooming wildflowers, while autumn showcases beautiful fall foliage, particularly around the Ozark National Forest. The local farmers' market is also in full swing during these seasons, offering fresh produce and local crafts. If your primary focus is water-based activities on Lake Side, then the summer months (July and August) are best, despite the higher temperatures and humidity. The lake is at its warmest, superb for swimming, boating, and fishing.

Recent Reviews in Side Town

Arlington Resort Hotel and Spa

8/10 Good

"Historical hotel in need of more restoration. Bathroom in my rental had black mold in shower and not up to any great standard in our time. No given amenities like coffee for guests, no refrigerator in room. You pay for the experience and anything you want. Parking is on your own up the street and you pay for it. Staff is great but you can tell that they are in lifetime jobs. More modern hotels up the street within walking distance. I’d stay again if it were the only option…."

The Hamilton - Lakefront & Studio Suites, Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"We stopped here as a halfway point to lake ozark, MO. What an absolute gem, clean room, quiet tucked away location. Lakefront view from our balcony, it was everything me and my wife and baby needed. Felt very safe and comfortable. Will maybe make this a destination stay in the future!"

The Hotel Hot Springs

8/10 Good

"Overall a good stay. The room was spacious and clean and the ac worked well which was important during a hot August trip. Check-in was smooth and the front desk was responsive whenever we needed help. Location was great as it was walkable to Bathhouse row and many restaurants. Also found a freeway nearby that starts across the street with a lot of artwork and sculptures and goes to the nearby farmer’s market (only on Sat). The ice machine did not work on our floor but it was a minor inconvenience. Breakfast was not included but is now $15 for a good but pretty regular breakfast. Parking garage is a block away and I was told there were electric chargers there. Well they were there but not really working. Thankfully the front desk told me about free chargers at the visitors center 2 blocks away. There was plenty of free street parking and free Regions Bank parking across the street so didn’t end up using the $15/day parking garage."
