About
Meet the Author: Regina Cantrell
Native, Traveler, & Storyteller
For Regina, the banks of the Little Red River aren't just a business location—they are home. As a native of the area, Regina’s life has always been intertwined with the natural beauty of the Ozarks. Today, she channels that lifelong passion into her role as the co-owner of Lindsey’s Resort, a place that holds profound significance for her family and the community they serve.
Her professional journey in the area began in 1994 at the local newspaper, The Sun Times. She held several roles over the years before a final departure in 2017 from her position as General Manager.
Regina lives for the thrill of the journey, having travelled to all but three states and several international locations, proving that you can be deeply rooted in one place while having a heart that beats for the entire world.
Regina has been writing about the region since the early '90s; while several of the blog posts found here are historical, they remain as relevant and heartfelt today as the day they were penned.
Beyond the Desk
Regina wears many hats, but her favorites are those that involve her family and her passions:
The Better Half: She shares her life and business ventures with her husband, Kelly. While she’s the "wife of the party," she’s the first to tell you he’s her best half.
Family First: She is a proud "Boy Mom" and an even prouder grandmother to her grandsons.
Fanatic at Heart: If there’s a game on or a band playing, Regina is there. Her love for sports and music is only rivaled by her love for a well-told story—which she often captures through her own writing.
Whether she’s welcoming you to the resort for a fishing trip or helping you book a cruise to a far-off port, Regina brings a blend of local hospitality and global perspective to every adventure.
