Hot Springs, Arkansas has always been a quick getaway for Texarkana folks. No matter the season, I found the closest thing to heaven, a mountain top escape in a gated community.

The first thing that will hit you is the breathtaking view of the historic downtown surrounded by the beauty of the lakes and mountains that make this a real mountainside retreat.

Imagine sipping on some morning brew on the outside deck as you hear the chirping birds and the sound of the wind blowing through the nearby trees.

LOOK: Here are the best lake towns to live in

Many of the included towns jump out at the casual observer as popular summer-rental spots--the Ozarks' Branson, Missouri, or Arizona's Lake Havasu--it might surprise you to dive deeper into some quality-of-life offerings beyond the beach and vacation homes. You'll likely pick up some knowledge from a wide range of Americana: one of the last remaining 1950s-style drive-ins in the Midwest; a Florida town that started as a Civil War veteran retirement area; an island boasting some of the country's top public schools and wealth-earners right in the middle of a lake between Seattle and Bellevue; and even a California town containing much more than Johnny Cash's prison blues.
