It’s Summer Camp Season in the Ozarks

Sunday, July 1st, 2012
Children Camping

Ozarks summer camps keep children entertained while giving them a chance to meet new friends, get out and play, and learn useful skills.

It’s that time of year when the kids go off to make their own lasting summertime memories. Hopefully, they’ll have the same opportunities many of us had: time to slow down, get away from the routines of home and school, make new friends and learn new skills (or try to anyway). Ah…summer camp! It’s an especially beautiful experience here with the surrounding rivers, lakes and Ozark Mountains.

There are a number of summer camps offered in and around the Ozarks. A very popular camp is just over the border in Missouri. Kanakuk Kamps provides a premier Christian summer camp experience for youth ages 7-18. Fun and educational programs are age-appropriate and children enjoy the benefits of quality staff and facilities offering over 70 activities and sports. Parents can rest assured that their children are playing and learning in a safe and enriching place at Kanakuk Kamps.

Camp Barnabas is also nearby, in Purdy, Missouri. This Christian summer camp serves people with special needs and chronic illnesses, giving them a chance to learn, play and experience the beauty of the Ozarks in a safe, supportive environment. Camp Barnabas is a very special summer camp giving children opportunities they’ll remember for the rest of their lives.

While the kids are at camp, parents can also have a chance to get away from it all. Come to our Eureka Springs bed and breakfast to reconnect with nature and with each another. Treat yourselves to one of our luxurious guest rooms, suites or the Pearl Tatman Guest House and make it your home away from home.

There are so many things to see and do in Eureka Springs, you’ll want to return to enjoy them all. Eureka Springs’ Victorian charm is enhanced by the fine cultural and dining experiences available. The beautiful Ozarks Arkansas region also offers natural and man-made wonders such as the Cosmic Cavern and Thorncrown Chapel. Parents can have their own “summer camp,” seeing and learning new things, or just basking and relaxing in nature.

When camp is done, it’s just a short drive to pick up your children. What a refreshing way for the whole family to enjoy the summer break!

Intrigue Theater in Eureka Springs

Monday, May 21st, 2012
Intrigue Theater, illusionist and medium

Intrigue Theater in Eureka Springs.

There is intriguing theater happening in Eureka Springs these days, or at least Intrigue Theater. It’s worth a look the next time you’re at our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast. It may even be worth a special trip.

What is Intrigue Theatre? It’s “astounding” says Jacqueline Froelich of KAUAF Public Radio. It will blow your mind says Matt Dunn of Scream Town. It will keep you at the edge of your seat says Trip Advisor.

Intrigue Theater is a fabulous collaboration between an Illusionist and a Medium. Special Guests from “the other side” are featured as well. It’s classic Victorian Era entertainment, and it’s the perfect way to spend an evening in Eureka Springs.

Intrigue Theater will be at the Historic Gavioli May 17 through June 23 and at the Historic Auditorium June 28 through October 28, 2012. Performances run Thursdays through Sundays, and holiday Mondays.

Tickets and additional information are available at Intrigue Theater.

Get the Blues in Eureka Springs

Friday, May 11th, 2012
Eureka Springs Blues Weekend, Ruthie Foster

Ruthie Foster in Eureka Springs.

The 2012 Eureka Springs Blues Weekend is coming up, May 31 through June 2. As of this writing, we still have an opening at our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast that weekend.

Blues Weekend is the final act of the Eureka Spring May Festival of the Arts, and it’s hard to imagine a better way to wrap up a month devoted to art and creativity.

The blues is all about transforming suffering into beauty. Your lady up and left you, you lost your job, and your dog died. What do you do? You pick up a guitar and let the whole world know. In doing so, you overcome. That’s the power of creativity right there. That’s art.

Some of the biggest names in Blues will be performing in Eureka Springs May 31-June 2. They are Marquise Knox and The Cate Brothers, the Tommy Castro Band and the Ruthie Foster Band. Well known musicians and up and coming musicians will take the stage in The Basin Park Hotel Barefoot Ballroom, The Auditorium, Basin Spring Park, and various restaurants and clubs around town.

The Basin Spring Park shows are free and open to all. Other shows require tickets, and advance tickets are suggested.

Our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast is close to the Blues Weekend venues. Come listen to the Blues. It will cheer you.

Tickets and additional information are available at Eureka Springs Blues Weekend.

Let the Chips Fly

Saturday, April 14th, 2012
Chainsaw Carving Festival Eureka Springs

It's fun!

Let the chips fly in Eureka Springs. That’s the pervasive attitude each year during the annual Carving in the Ozarks Festival. So pack your safety glasses and head to our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast April 20-21, 2012. Trust us; this is an event to be witnessed.

The Carving in the Ozarks Festival really is fun. Carvers wield their chainsaws with finesses, coaxing amazing creations out of logs. Their artistry requires vision, skill, patience, and strength. Also good ear and eye protection.

Each piece carved during the festival will be offered at an auction held on Saturday at 4 p.m. Proceeds benefit local civic organizations and charities, and winning bidders get to take home truly original art. It’s a win-win situation, all around.

For many guests of our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast, the Carving in the Ozarks Festival is the first time they witness chainsaw carving. It can be a transformative experience. Come see for yourself.

If you miss this year’s Carving in the Ozarks Festival, plan ahead to see it in 2013!

Eureka Springs Railway

Sunday, April 8th, 2012

The Eureka Springs & North Arkansas Railway is now open for the season!

Travelers first arrived in Eureka Springs by rail in 1883, and the ES&NA gives modern passengers a feel for that experience. ES&NA is a collection of vintage rolling stock, one of the largest in the Ozarks. To ride on the Eureka Springs Railway is to go back in time.

Passenger Special At The Eureka Springs & North Arkansas Depot

Ride the Eureka Springs and North Arkansas Railroad.

Trains depart from the historic Eureka Springs depot several times a day, Tuesday through Saturday. They travel through the Ozarks for just under 5 miles before returning to the depot. The journey isn’t long, but the scenery is magnificent and the sense of history makes it fun.

The restored depot is also home to a number of interesting exhibits, such as an automobile that can run on the rails. It’s a good place to explore while waiting for a train.

Come May, ES&NA runs a Dinner Train. It departs at 5:00 p.m. and returns around 6:30 p.m, covering the same route as the daily scenic trains. Passengers of the Dinner Train choose from Chicken Eurekan, Chef’s Prime Rib, or Rainbow Trout Almondine. Wine and Champagne are available.

A Lunch Trail also begins service in May. Passengers choose from Beef Stroganoff, Chicken Salad, or a Hot Deli Sandwhich. Lunch Trains depart at noon and last about an hour.

Many guests of our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast have enjoyed traveling aboard the Eureka Springs and North Arkansas Railway. Some go for lunch, some for dinner, and some just for the ride. It’s an easy way to sit back and experience the beauty of the Ozarks.

Additional information is available at ES&NA.

Horseback Riding Through the Ozarks

Tuesday, March 27th, 2012
Spring in the Ozarks, Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast.

The Dogwood, great harbinger of spring.

The mountains come alive in the spring, and one of the best ways to experience this magnificent renewal of life is to go horseback riding through the Ozarks.

Trail rides through the Ozarks leave daily from Bear Mountain Riding Stables. Experienced guides share stories as well as riding tips, opening up the rich history of the region to anyone willing to listen. Rides generally last an hour, and are open to novices as well as expert riders.

Riders should keep an eye out for wildflowers and flowering trees. Redbuds are one of the first trees to blossom in the Ozarks, delighting us with their purple and lavender blossoms in late March and early April. Flowering Dogwoods follow them, usually peaking in mid to late April. Deliciously fragrant Wild Plums also bloom early.

Many wildflowers are already blooming in the garden of our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast. After your horseback ride, relax on our porch with a glass of wine, surrounded by the fragrance of spring.

Beautiful Beaver Lake

Tuesday, February 28th, 2012
Beaver Lake Dam - Open Floodgates

The Beaver Lake Dam.

Our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast is a short drive from one of the most beautiful spots in NW Arkansas: Beaver Lake.

Beaver Lake’s almost 500 miles of shoreline are surrounded by limestone bluffs, hardwood forests, parks, and beaches. The lake itself is a wonderful spot for boating and fishing.

After a gourmet breakfast here at our Eureka Springs Inn, our guests have plenty of energy to explore Beaver Lake hiking trails, paddle a kayak, or spend the day fishing. Dinner at one of Eureka Springs fine restaurants is followed by a relaxing evening back at the inn, the perfect place to recover from a day of activity.

Arkansas weekly fishing reports are the best place to learn what’s biting at Beaver Lake. Head out on your own or contact one of the several fishing guides services that work year round on Beaver Lake, such as Bailey’s Beaver Lake Guide Services or J.T. Crappie Guide Services.

Please see Beaver Lake for additional information about recreation opportunities.
