Southern Charm Mena Cuts the Ribbon!

June 14, 2024 — The Mena/Polk County Chamber of Commerce proudly celebrated the grand opening of Southern Charm Mena, a luxurious vacation rental owned by Al Curier, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Situated on a picturesque 15-acre private property, Southern Charm Mena is poised to become a premier destination for family vacations and wedding venues.

Community members and Chamber representatives gathered to mark the occasion, showing enthusiastic support for this new addition to Mena's hospitality landscape. The event underscored the importance of local businesses in fostering community growth and vitality.

Southern Charm Mena features a spacious and elegantly designed 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom home that comfortably sleeps up to 16 guests. The property boasts three serene ponds, a sparkling swimming pool, and ample space for outdoor activities, making it an ideal setting for family vacations and special events. Located just 5 miles from downtown Mena and 6 miles from the popular Wolf Pen Gap, guests are encouraged to bring their off-road toys for an exhilarating adventure with convenient ride-in access.

Along with the ribbon cutting, attendees were invited to tour the property, enjoying refreshments and exploring the elegant accommodations and beautiful surroundings.

We are so excited to work with Southern Charm Mena moving forward, and wish them the utmost success!
