A Month of Romance in Eureka Springs

Wednesday, February 8th, 2012

We think it’s wrong to limit romance to one day a year. While that may not be the intention of Valentine’s Day, for some, it’s as good a reason as any to ration romantic gestures like flowers or chocolates. In order to combat that mentality, we invite you to celebrate Valentine’s Day all month at our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast.

A cozy fire sparks romance in the Monet room.

Our February & Lovers Go Together package includes complimentary beverages, chocolates for two, and a $20 voucher for lunch or dinner at one of Eureka’s finest eateries. We’re also offering a 40% discount on a couples’ massage–one of the best ways to shed tension and relax.

The simple fact that you decide to bring your sweetie to our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast earns big points in the romance department. After all, there is something inherently romantic about our Victorian inn. Maybe it’s our guest rooms, which features fireplaces and whirlpool baths made for two. Maybe it’s peaceful setting, or the gourmet food. Maybe it’s the fact that so many people who stay with us are in love.

Whatever the reason, we invite you to come see for yourself. We’re celebrating Valentine’s Day all month here. Join us.

Chocolate Lovers’ Festival

Saturday, January 28th, 2012
Chocolate Heaven

Heaven = a fountain of chocolate.

 

Each February around Valentine’s Day, Eureka Springs hosts a Chocolate Lovers’ Festival. Anyone is welcome, but it’s really for those of us who believe that chocolate is divine.

In 2012, the Eureka Springs Chocolate Lovers’ Festival takes place on Saturday, February 11. Plan to dive into chocolate fountains–or at least dip strawberries and other tasty treats into them. Taste a wide selection of chocolate, from the dense and dark to the sweet and white. There will be chocolate for every palate.

Bring your sweetie and your love of chocolate to our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast the weekend of February 11th, just before Valentine’s Day. It has been said that chocolate is an aphrodisiac. Truth or Fiction? Try it and see.

Original Ozark Folk Festival

Tuesday, October 18th, 2011

It’s just about time for the 64th Annual Original Ozark Folk Festival of Eureka Springs. This is always a foot tapping good time. We hope to welcome many fans of bluegrass, mountain, and folk music to our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast November 2 – 5, 2011.

Still On The Hill plays at the 64th Original Ozark Folk Festival.

The Original Ozark Folk Festival is the oldest continuously running folks festival in the United States. It began back in 1947, when today’s baby boomers were still in diapers. Just think of that. Music is timeless.

The festival features a mix of some of the finest established and up-and coming bluegrass and folk musicians around. Headlining the event this year are Still on the Hill, 3 Penny Acre, and Split Lip Rayfield. In addition, dozens of bands will perform at various venues around town throughout the festival.

One of the oldest traditions in the Original Ozark Folk Festival is the Barefoot Ball. It is what it sounds like – an unpretentious dance where folks are having so much fun dancing that sometimes they kick off their shoes. This year it takes place on November 4th in the Basin Park Hotel’s Barefoot Ballroom, which was named after the event itself. Don’t be mislead by the name, however; shoes are required to enter.

Please visit our reservation page to book a room at our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast during the 64th Original Ozark Folk Festival, November 2-5, 2011.

Please see Ozarks Folk Festival for up-to-date festival information.

Eureka Springs is a great town to explore with friends. The historic downtown area, which is close to our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast, is filled with shops, art galleries, and restaurants. Nearby Leatherwood Park has many hiking trails and canoe and paddle boat rentals. In October our foliage will be at its peak, and even sitting on our porch will be a treat for the eyes.

Consider it. It’s never easy to treat yourself to a weekend away, but with a little planning, it can be done. You’ll be thankful you indulged in a Girlfriend Getaway at our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast once you’re back home.

Jazz Eureka, 2011

Friday, September 2nd, 2011

Jazz Aficionados, take note. Jazz Eureka takes place the weekend of September 23 – 25, 2011, at Basin Spring Park in Eureka Springs. This event is free – yes, free – to one and all. Best of all, we still have rooms available at our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast.

See Hogtown Hot Club at Basin Spring Park during Jazz Eureka.

There are many different faces of jazz, and many sounds to go along with those faces. The 2011 Jazz Eureka line-up underscores the diversity of the genre. Highlights include:

  • Hogtown Hot Club: Gypsy jazz and American Swing via acoustic quartet.
  • Trio de Janero: Samba. Need any more be said?
  • SMSU Jazz Band: They’ve played some of the biggest jazz festivals in the world, and now they’ll play Eureka Springs.

You’re sure to hear something you like at Jazz Eureka. Bring blankets, lawn chairs, and a picnic, and spend the weekend relaxing in beautiful Basin Spring Park.

The shops, galleries, and restaurants of historic downtown Eureka Springs are just steps from Basin Spring Park. When you feel the need to stretch your legs, you’ll find there’s plenty to do and see in town. Keep an ear cocked as you stroll through town – many restaurants will feature live music in conjunction with Jazz Eureka.

Our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast is located close to the heart of downtown Eureka Springs. Guests who are walkers or cyclists (and don’t mind hills) frequently leave cars parked at the inn and explore town on foot.  While there is in-town parking for folks who prefer to drive many guests enjoy the Eureka Springs Trolley and leaving the driver to someone else.

Eureka Springs New Great Passion Play

Wednesday, May 11th, 2011

The New Great Passion Play opened for the season in Eureka Springs last Friday, May 6. It is scheduled to run several nights a week through October 29, 2011, as it has for more than 40 years. People come from all over the world to see the play, and many stay in our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast while they’re here.

The Great Passion Play in Eureka Springs tells the story of Christ’s last days on earth, his death, and his resurrection. The cast of hundreds gives a stirring performance in a stunning location – a 4,100 seat panoramic outdoor amphitheater nestled in the Ozark Mountains surrounding Eureka Springs. The set and scenery are remarkably accurate; spectators witness chariots being pulled past an ancient marketplace, a camel caravan, and even herds of sheep.

Experience The Great Passion Play when you visit Eureka Springs.

Guests of our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast who attend The Great Passion Play frequently comment on the magnificent Christ of the Ozarks statue that is located on the grounds. The sculpted statue of Christ stands seven stories tall and seems to rise out of the mountain on which it stands. It is inspiring to stand at its feet.

The Great Passion Play is perhaps the most unique attraction in Eureka Springs. It is a remarkable experience for people of all faiths.

For additional information and tickets, please visit The Great Passion Play.

Schools Out! Eureka Springs B&B Special

Friday, April 29th, 2011

You work hard during the school year. Teachers create lesson plans, grade work, and most of all, strive to keep students interested in learning what you have to teach. Administrators keep everything flowing smoothly, no matter what happens. It is rewarding work. It is challenging work. Now it’s time for a break.

Day 83

Eureka Springs B&B offers an Educators Special.

Our Eureka Springs AR Bed and Breakfast understands that teachers and school administrators work hard. We also understand that while the work is fulfilling, education is rarely a career that builds great wealth. It is with all this in mind that we have created the following Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast Special:

Schools out! Schools out! Teacher let the mules out!

Between March and August, 2011, teachers and school administrative personnel may get more for less, Monday – Thursday. The special includes three nights lodging, gourmet breakfasts, satisfying snacks, and a $25 voucher towards lunch or dinner at one of Eureka Springs six finest restaurants: Ermilio’s; DeVito’s; Gaskin’s Cabin; Local Flavor; Casa Colina; Autumn Breeze.

We appreciate all you do. Thank you.
