What’s Happening @ the Heartstone Inn and Eureka Springs

Heartstone Inn - Basin Park in Eureka Springs — Basin Park in Eureka Springs

It’s Feeling Like Fall Here
This is our quarterly newsletter to keep you up to date on the happenings here at the Inn and in Eureka Springs. Our 20th Season at the Inn is almost over…then here comes 21! But there’s still plenty of time to visit us before the year is out :) . Had a short break and visited Santa Fe for the first time. Came back re-energized and have been working on new deck railings and taking care of our lovely guests. Our biggest excitement is planning our last (pretty sure) major project. This winter we’ll get started on a brand new kitchen. Floors, cabinets, lighting, new equipment, can’t wait to see the finished project.
Fall is our busiest time here at the Inn and there are great events to be enjoyed. We hope you can join us. For the best rates always give us a call or book directly from our website. (https://heartstoneinn.com) Our Availability calendar is up to the minute and you can see which rooms are available on the dates you’d like to visit.

Heartstone Inn - Registry Member

We’ve recently joined an association of independent, boutique properties that we feel showcase the level of customer service you’ve come to expect here at the Heartstone Inn. Select Registry delivers a level of personalized service unheard of at hotel chains and a quality of experience only a select few independent properties can attain. One of the great benefits of this is a Loyalty program for our Frequent Travelers that rewards you with $100 certificates toward future stays (at all of their properties).
All properties undergo a rigorous inspection, have unparalleled hospitality, are upscale full-service inns and classic B&B’s to stately mansions, modern boutique and small luxury hotels, as well as lodges and luxury cabins. There are no fees to join, only the rewards to reap. Ask us next time you’re here and we’ll sign you up at our on-site kiosk.
