Arkansas Specialty lodgings | Places to Stay in Arkansas
Living up to its billing as “The Natural State”, the state is a nature wonderland with three national forests, nearly 9,000 miles of pristine streams and rivers, awe-inspiring settings in the Ozark and Quachita mountains and sparkling lakes. The menu of vacation experiences is an exciting one. For great golf, spas, horse racing and the Hot Springs National Park, Hot Springs is the place to go. Outdoor enthusiasts love the Ozark Mountains where activities like canoeing, rafting, kayaking, fishing, hiking and rock climbing are popular. The mountain village of Eureka Springs, with its streets lined with Victorian homes, is brimming with boutiques, antique shops and art galleries. Wine enthusiasts love the Arkansas Wine Country, encompassing the towns of Paris, Ozark and Altus, where German style wines are produced.
From its ancient mountains to the Delta flatlands leveled by the Mississippi River, the state has a diverse topography with numerous scenic drives. Try the Pig Trail, Ozark Highlands and Sylamore scenic byways in the Ozark National Forest designated by the U.S. Forest Service.
Golfers love the state because greens fees are extremely affordable for great courses. A few excellent public access courses are Sage Meadows in Jonesboro, Stonebridge Meadows in Fayetteville and the Mountain Ranch Course in Fairfield Bay.

Peaceful and Not a Bad Place for the Value
Reviewed By Michelle EGreat quiet location, very peaceful. Exterior of building is beautiful. We stayed in the penthouse and it was ok, clean but the interior really needs to be updated. Had a great little private porch to sit on. Bed was very loud and squeaky when we would just sit on it, so maybe needs a new bed, but the linens were soft and comfortable. Overall pretty decent place for the value.

Well if you are looking for the typical Eureka Springs Lodging Experience you have come to the wrong place! You’ll won’t find any Victorian frump here or even cabins sitting on the ground!What we offer is definitely the unexpected. We offer Treehouses with 3 different themes…Venice…Santa Fe and New York! We also have Hobbit Caves & Castles.
This is a must stay for couples
Reviewed By Andy BWhat an amazing property. My wife and I stayed here to celebrate our anniversary. The staff prepared our room with rose petals, candles and champagne. Check in was quick and easy. The stay was amazing. The property is well kept and maintained. The room is comfortable and was just the right size for the two of us. We enjoyed having irk coffee on the patio in the morning and coming “home” to the jacuzzi after a long day out hiking and/or shopping. This property is conveniently located near a variety of restaurants and shops. This is a must stay!

Wonderful Wedding Weekend accommodations
Reviewed By krgracesr45Amazing property. Great location. Super clean. Lots of inside and outside space. We were in town for my son's wedding at Thorncrown Chapel, with rehearsal dinner and reception at the Crescent Hotel. We rented both the Carriage House and the Main House. Very easy walk to the hotel for the grandparents (aged 70+). The shared courtyard was a wonderful space (the late May weather was perfect) to visit while groomsmen dressed and used for a few wedding photos. It was wonderful meeting the owners when we checked out and great communication before the stay.

Delightful Arkansas Jewel
Reviewed By lorihughes1My friend Gail and I visited for a long weekend and stayed in one of the two bedroom cottages. The rooms were lovely and the bedding and amenities were so cozy. The hot tub was a welcome bonus after our long hikes on the nearby trails! You should keep your eyes out for the marker trees on some of the trails! The grounds were well kept and the service was excellent! I will definitely be back soon! Excellent for families, couples or a girls trip like ours! Special thanks to the Egleston family and Charles--Hotty Toddy!

Discover all the beauty & tranquility that AR has to offer at Gene’s Trout Fishing Resort, a wilderness escape situated along the North Fork River.
Genes trip, great but not perfect.
Reviewed By flyinryan7Our family had a wonderful fishing weekend here in March 2021. Kids loved it! Beautiful scenery. Big cabin. We got married here years ago. This trip was only different because the office staff seemed very unpleasant and grumpy. Not all. But one particular older gentleman in back seemed like we were bothering him just for asking questions. Bitter. Everything else was awesome. But didn’t feel welcome when we went into the office/store.

Nice hideaway.
Reviewed By Ranz RWhat a nice little hideaway. Not fancy, for those fisherman just wanting a place to stay and be able to fish Norfork Lake! Fish, clean them on the dock, head up the hill and relax at the cabin. Spent 3 days there came back today. Plan on going back this fall.

Excellent Value
Reviewed By nicijeanevansI loved this place so much that my husband and I discussed possibly buying it and going into business for ourselves. So cozy, so convenient. Greg is an impeccable host and was very accomodating to our needs. He really helped make a potentially stressful family visit go smooth. I love the furnishings. I used to visit this building when it was the Fudge Shoppe and Antiques. I wish I had made it to one of the murder mystery weekends they used to hold.
