Getaway to Eureka Springs, Arkansas

Many words can be used to describe the quaint Victorian style village known as Eureka Springs. Mysterious, festive, and romantic are but a few that immediately come to mind. From its charming Victorian architecture and nationally renowned arts and crafts to its historical ‘healing’ spring waters, Eureka Springs has a unique appeal all its own.

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.

Arkansas Attractions: Discover the Beauty of the Natural State

Arkansas attractions draw millions of visitors to the state each year. From scenic byways, wildlife preserves, and family theme parks to big city attractions like the Clinton Library and the Little Rock Zoo, Arkansas offers something for everyone. However, when it comes to planning vacations, Arkansas tends to fly under the radar because so many people don’t have a clue about the wide variety of activities available there or the incredible affordability to do them.

The “Natural State” is probably best known for being blessed with abundant natural resources, including lakes, clear streams, forests, wildlife, rich farm lands and scenic vistas. With its’ six national park sites, 50 state parks, 2.6 million acres of national forest lands, 13 major lakes, and two mountain ranges, Arkansas provides some of the best outdoor experiences in the country.

Arkansas attractions also include its friendly people that fill wonderful towns like scenic Mountain View and the village of Eureka Springs, which is the only city in the country whose entire downtown area is on the National Register of Historic Places. Probably one of the most famous cities in the state is beautiful Hot Springs, which home to some of the some of the oldest and best natural spas in America.

Did you know that Arkansas is the only diamond producing state in the United States? The Crater of Diamonds State Park, located in Murfreesboro, Arkansas, is the only place in the nation where you can dig for diamonds and keep what you find. Over 75,000 diamonds have been found by lucky visitors since it became a park, the largest being a 16.37-carat white diamond found by a visitor from Amarillo, Texas. That sounds like a great souvenir!

Arkansas is also home to dozens of upscale dining establishments with impressive food and wine pairings as well as thriving cultural communities that include museums, performing arts centers, historical sites and sports teams. Tours and scenic drives make for a fun day, as does a tour of the Clinton House Museum or the Arkansas Air Museum. If you want to take a walk on the wild side, you can visit the Little Rock Zoo, a nationally recognized 40-acre garden with approximately 170 species represented.

Arkansas theme parks are also great places to visit on your trip. One of the most popular attractions in Hot Springs is the 70-acre Magic Springs and Crystal Falls theme park. This combination amusement park and water park is the largest entertainment package in the state of Arkansas and includes thrill rides such as the “Gauntlet” inverted roller coaster and the classic wooden coaster, “Arkansas Twister”.

Wild River Country, Arkansas’ largest water park at 29 acres, features over 20 rides and attractions like a wave pool and a 600-foot winding tube ride. You and your family can have fun in the activity pools, ride the waves, speed down a water slide, or just drift along on the Lazy River, soaking up the carefree Arkansas atmosphere.

Arkansas is full of color during every season and the climate is humid and sub-tropical. There tend to be very hot and humid summers, which is great weather for Arkansas theme parks and water parks, followed by mild winters. You may want to visit during the Fall and enjoy the splashy color of autumn in Arkansas. The color change begins in early October in the Ozarks of northern Arkansas and moves slowly to the south until it reaches the peak of color in late October and early November.

No matter the time of year your vacation time falls in, consider discovering all the wonderful and diverse Arkansas attractions on your next family adventure. I promise you won’t be disappointed!

Eureka Springs, Arkansas: Country Music, Rock and Roll, and Hollywood

Eureka Springs, Arkansas is a little town only an hours drive away from Branson Missouri, the new capital of country music! Millions of visitors come to Eureka Springs to see The Great Passion Play, P. Nutt and the Ozark Mountain Hoe-Down, do a little shopping, or just to say “I do”.


Branson, Missouri has about 120 music shows, and a lot of country music stars now call Branson home. However, many people don’t realize that there have also been a lot of country music stars right here in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Did you know that Grand Old Opry star, Johnny Russell, built his theater here and performed six nights a week for many years? Rumor has it that he also wrote the song “Got No Reason Now for Going Home”, big hit for Gene Watson, in that theater, too.


David Frizzell recorded hits such as “You’re the Reason God Made Oklahoma” and “I’m Gonna Hire a Wino to Decorated My Home”, and in 1991, David also had his own show in Eureka Springs. Ray Charles played one of his very last shows here and what a show that was! Merle Haggard and the Strangers has rolled into town several times to sing me back home, along with Willie Nelson.


Eureka Springs, Arkansas was also the home for Joe Don Rooney for a few years before he made the move to Nashville in 1999. Joe Don performed at the Ozark Mountain Hoe-Down Theater before moving to Nashville. Teaming up with Jay DeMarcus and Gary LeVox, Joe Don became part of the #1 selling band, “Rascal Flatts”.

Doug Huffman is another great songwriter and drummer that worked at the Ozark Mountain Hoe-Down until 1990. He then went on to join the rock band “Boston”, one of my all time favorite rock bands.


In addition to music success stories, there have been many movies shot on location in Eureka Springs. The movie “War Eagle” was filmed in our little town during the summer of 2006. The Ozark Mountain Hoe-Down performed a song in the movie that songwriters Leslie Wright and Randall George, also from the Hoe-Down, wrote specifically for the movie!


Missy Crider, now an actress in Hollywood, was in a country music show here in the late 1980′s. Missy still comes back from time to time, and at times lives in our little town. This is not uncommon for most of the stars that were here before they hit the big time! There is something about this town in the hills that never leaves your memory once you’ve been here. This little town not only attracts visitors and tourists, but the award winning celebrities that still consider Eureka Springs “home”.


So, if you come to Eureka Springs for a visit, catch the Ozark Mountain Hoedown show, The Great Passion Play, do a little shopping or say “I do” to the love of your life. Make sure to get a picture with some of the folks here – next year they may be the next big thing in country music, rock-n-roll, or on the Hollywood screen!

Leslie Wright is a writer for the Ozark Mountain Hoe-Down,a country music show in Eureka Springs,Arkansas that has been performing live nightly since 1981.
