Rockansas Cotton Warehouse Apartment

This former 1940’s Cotton Warehouse has been renovated into a modern little apartment with classic flair. Located in the heart of Searcy, it is only a minute’s walk from Harding University’s campus (perfect for parents visiting students). There is only one queen bed, but four people could fit in the apartment if some don’t mind sleeping on the couch or floor.
The main part of the space has been converted into an ergonomic office with an adjacent comfy living room. The kitchen is stocked with the basics, so you can make your own meals if you want. The bathroom has a shower but no tub.
Other guests have raved about the spacious parking area, wheelchair access ramp and easy check-in/check-out process. The apartment has many windows (with shades), so that is a consideration if privacy is of utmost importance to you.
