In this small town with a population of less than 3,000 people, you won't see many of the things you've come to expect from a vacation destination. No outlet malls or chain stores. No theme parks or thrill rides. But what you will find is natural & architectural beauty, art & culture, serenity, and romance.
Eureka Springs is nestled in the scenic Ozark Mountains of Northwest Arkansas. Crystal clear lakes and lush forests lend a sense of 'oneness with nature' to those who visit the area. Amidst nature's spectacular views, the lovely architecture of Eureka Springs has a beauty all its own. The predominantly Victorian style architecture can be found throughout the city in its shops, businesses, and many of its lodging properties.
Eureka Springs has also become one of the leading art & culture destinations in the country and is recognized as one of the nation's top 25 small arts communities. Intricate jewelry, hand blown glass, and more can be viewed within its galleries and shops. Shoppers can even purchase works of art for their very own. The area is also varied in cultural events from arts and crafts fairs to music festivals.
The legendary waters of Eureka Springs are perhaps its most historical draw. Both Victorian-age self-healers and Native American tribes believed the area's springs had the power to heal. Today you can still take advantage of the springs, if nothing more than to just relax. There's no better way to melt away your cares and worries than with a relaxing spa treatment or massage.
Those looking to put the spark back in a relationship have a variety of ways to do so in Eureka. A romantic evening of fine dining at one of the area’s many restaurants followed by an intimate evening at a secluded lodging property is the perfect way to reconnect. Take in an evening sunset from the deck of a lakeside condo, soak in an in-room hot tub of a premier hotel, or snuggle by the fireplace of a secluded cabin in the woods. There are so many ways to create memorable moments during your stay.
No matter what activities or sight seeing you do during your getaway, a visit to charming Eureka Springs is certain to leave you feeling revitalized, refreshed, and ready to come back for more.
