July 4th in Eureka Springs

Wednesday, June 29th, 2011

We still have some availability for July 4, 2011, in our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast. If you’ve never experienced Independence Day in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, maybe it’s time you did.

Celebrate July 4th, 2011, in Eureka Springs, Arkansas.

Downtown Eureka Springs puts on a great old fashioned 4th of July celebration. The day is filled with games, contests, food, and music, all within easy walking distance from our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast.

At 6 p.m. in the evening, locals and visitors alike head to the Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge. Folks bring their own fireworks or buy them on site, and enjoy setting them off in a safe and fun environment on top of a mountain.

You may want to sleep in on July 5th, and that’s just what you should do. So take a few days off work next week and spend them here, at our Eureka Springs AR Bed and Breakfast.

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!

There are currently about 120 wild animals at the refuge and feeding time at is an event not to be missed. Every day, over 1000 pounds of meat is fed to the cats. This is a time to really get to know the large cats and experience true power of these big cats; hear the low growl of the tigers, high pitched screams of the cougars, and caroling of the lions. Feeding times after mid March will be about 5 p.m. We encourage you to call ahead to ensure you do not miss any of the excitement.
