Eagle Watch and Fall Foliage Cruises

Tuesday, October 11th, 2011
Catch of the Day (Explored)

Look for feeding eagles during a Beaver Lake Eagle Watch cruise.

October is a good time to visit Eureka Springs. Leaf peepers come to admire vivid fall colors. Outdoor enthusiasts come to bike, hike and explore the Ozarks. Art enthusiasts come to browse the many art galleries in town.

Some of the most popular visitors to arrive in Eureka Springs and the Arkansas Ozarks each October are the bald eagles who winter here. Let our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast serve as your headquarters for your Ozark Eagle adventure.

Consider taking an Eagle Watch cruise aboard the Belle of the Ozarks. Expert guides will be on board throughout the month of October, helping to spot eagles and sharing a good deal of information about our national bird.

In the pasts, guests of our Bed and Breakfast Eureka Springs have returned from Eagle Watch Cruises on Beaver Lake with photos of mature eagles, immature eagles, hunting eagles, and eagles perched atop swaying trees. No matter how many times we see eagles, they always inspire awe. Their remarkable cry sends chills down the spine.

Cruises are also a good way to admire fall foliage around Beaver Lake.

For more information about October Eagle Watch Cruises, please visit Belle of the Ozarks.

Spring Break? Visit Eureka Springs

Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011

All around the country, folks are gearing up for spring break. Teachers, students, and parents are spending every spare moment deciding where to go. Even people without children find spring an irresistible time to travel – perhaps thanks to years of spring break conditioning.

Our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast is a fantastic destination for spring break. We’re located a couple of blocks from the heart of the historic district, a short walk to all sorts of shops and eateries. On top of that, there are many fun events lined up for March and April in Eureka Springs.

The Ozark Mountain Hoe-down opens for the season on Friday, March 11. This is entertainment at its finest – good music and lots of laughs – every night of the week except Tuesdays. More great music is to be found during Eureka Music Festivals at THE Auditorium, March 26 and April 2 and 30. In addition, the Pine Mountain Jamboree opens this weekend, March 4; the Jamboree features music from gospel to rock n’ roll, along with comedy to keep everyone in good spirits. It’s a Eureka Springs favorite.

The 29th Annual Victorian Classic takes place on Saturday, March 12, 2011. This 10k run and 2 mile run/walk benefit local charities. If you would never dream of leaving for vacation without your running shoes, this event may be for you.

The weekend of March 19 and 20th is the 15th Annual Spring Antique Show and Sale at the Convention Center. We know antiques here in Eureka Springs – after all, our whole downtown is on the National Record of Historic Places. Antique aficionados travel from all over the country to rummage through the Eureka Springs Antique Show.

April is filled with a UFO Conference (April 8 – 10), and a chainsaw carving festival (April 15 – 16). Really.

There is another good reason to stay at our Bed and Breakfast Eureka Springs, AR. Relaxation. We know of no better place to sit with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine than our wrap-around deck. We spend hours there, counting the birds as they come to feed; hundreds of different bird species pass through Eureka Springs in the spring and fall, and a surprising number of them end up in our backyard. Read, chat, or simply sit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings during your spring break vacation in Eureka Springs.

They’re Back!

Saturday, May 1st, 2010

The Redbreated Grossbeaks have returned to the garden of Arsenic and Old Lace B&B.  This is truly one of the gentlemen of Spring – we are seeing them daily and should continue to have these visitors for  the next several weeks.  In addition to the grossbeaks we see Indigo buntings and a myriad of other birds daily.  Breakfast is and explosion of taste at the table and color in the garden!  Because of our feathered guests we actually operate a B&B&B (Bed & Breakfast & Birds)!  These friends are always welcomed in Eureka Springs!  May is celebration of the Arts Month and the feathered visitors add a touch of art to the natural beauty of the Ozarks.

Bird Watching at Arsenic & Old Lace

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

This is a wonderful season to view the birds at the Arsenic & Old Lace! Our gardens are truly lush and the birds are in abundance and loving it. So you might ask what types of birds are visiting our backyard? Well the list is extensive. While the gardens are lush, we also entice them with six seed feeders, two suet feeders, and four Humming Bird feeders! This year we have the honor of enjoying watching Rose-Breasted Grosbeaks, Red Headed Woodpeckers, Baltimore Orioles, Humming Birds, Cardinals, Indigo Buntings, Finches, and more! Along with the birds, we get other wildlife to visit as well such as deer and mixed breed squirrels.

We invite you to come and stay at the Inn, and join us view the wildlife while enjoying breakfast in the morning room!

Bird Watching in Eureka Springs

Monday, March 30th, 2009

You don’t have to be physical to enjoy birding in Eureka Springs.  Celebrate the great outdoors in a nature paradise where you can relax and enjoy bird watching in the Inn’s backyard, garden, sitting on the porch, or visit one of our local parks.  It does not matter what the season, as birds are plentiful and always amusing to watch.   

To date one hundred and seventy-nine birds had been identified in the Eureka Springs area.  Among the most common are Eagles and Pileated Woodpeckers.  But best of all if romance is on your mind, you can “get two birds with one stone”.  Imagine you and your loved one surrounded by luxury, tree tops, birds,  and the sky!  Reserve the Tree Top Suite, bring your binoculars, and enjoy the getaway. 

The birds are “tweeting with happiness” as we sit on the porch enjoying a refreshing glass of ice tea.  We welcome you to come,  join us, and enjoy bird watching!
