Find A Place Arkansas & Beyond - Who We Are/What We Do

Who we are

A friends group of outdoors and travel explorers

Find A Place began in Arkansas and Southern Missouri, and are a network of social media bloggers. Our team enjoyed capturing their experiences and the great places they stayed.

Today, our network has now grown to a following of over 1.1 million on our social media platforms. Our community-first approach is a principal we carry to this day.

What we do

We help people find the stay that fits the adventure.

Explore.Stay.Adventure.Repeat - it's what we do! We share our travel and adventure experiences along with the variety of places we stay with our combined social media followers.

For hosts, that means reaching people who are already planning a real trip instead of getting buried in a giant national catalog.

Why we do it

It was always about the experience!

Find A Place has always been about more than a property listing. It was always about the hike, the float, the trail, the waterfall, the small town stores and eats. We matched that up with some of the great places we stayed along the way.

The network today

The same outdoor community, now connected to booking.

The original Find A Place network was built around short-term rentals and the outdoorsy things to see and do around them. Find A Place Booking carries that idea forward by giving travelers a place to discover and book independent stays while keeping the people, places and adventures behind the network at the center of it.
