1. Walk the Historic Loop, Our favorite part of Eureka Springs. There are hills, and old sidewalks, but the beauty of the architecture, the fanciful gardens, and the endless rock retaining walls will charm you and make you smile in our quirky little town. Look everywhere, there are unexpected surprises.

2. You’ve got to walk the crooked streets and sidewalks downtown to enjoy our unique locally owned art galleries and shops. No mall stores here! Shops & Galleries

3. A visit to GotaHold Brewery and Just Bee Coffee will let you relax and enjoy the outdoors we all appreciate here in Eureka Springs. Visit with the owner and master brewer, they have indoor and outdoor seating and live music regularly. Something for everyone! https://gotahold.beer/

4. There are two Food trucks within walking distance of the Heartstone Inn, and their creative juices will get yours going! Authentic Mexican @ Carmen’s Tacos will leave you wanting to try all of their offerings. The sandwiches @ Outer Limits, not to mention the French fries 10 different ways (Parmesan Truffle Fries anyone?), or the special of the week, we can’t get enough!

5. Beaver Lake – Go for the day, go for the sunset, go for the fishing, go for the sun! Drive over the dam, visit the overlook, visit the White River that flows from it. A beautiful spot!

6. The Springs. There are upwards of 60 natural springs within Eureka Springs’ city limits, many tucked away in small caves, nooks, and crannies. As our name suggests, springs have played a large part in the history of Eureka Springs. Blue Springs is one of our largest and a tranquil place to visit. Blue Spring Heritage Center

Reopening May 8, 2020

The state of Arkansas has lifted its restriction on out-of-state recreational travel for “non-hotspot states,” and we are reopening May 8th, 2020.
We have had to make some changes to the way we operate due to the Covid-19 situation. While we have always gone above and beyond the industry standards for cleaning, we are paying extra attention to the small details. We are removing excess decorative accents such as throw pillows, bed scarves and magazines. We now offer Breakfast-to-Go as a replacement option if you feel uncomfortable eating in our common dining room area. Weather permitting, outdoor seating will be available and if you prefer no breakfast, we are offering you a discount.

-We still don’t allow guests or staff on site who have any symptoms of fever and cough or who have been overseas recently along with New York, New Orleans, New Jersey, and Connecticut.

-Self check-in is always available for guests to get to accommodations while also social distancing.

-While preparing and serving breakfast we are following CDC guidelines and will be wearing masks and gloves.
-We will not be providing daily housekeeping, but rest assured we will still provide you with our many amenities.

-We provided ample hand washing and anti-bacterial facilities for all guests.

-We conduct a verbal briefing for all guests reminding them to be mindful about placing hands near mouths, hygiene practices & courtesy for other guests.

-We continue to practice social distancing and therefor will not shake hands.

-We always allow guests to reschedule without losing money should the situation change.

Our top priority is always our guests – your health, safety, peace-of-mind, and comfort are at the forefront of our minds. We’d like to thank you for trusting us with your travel plans, both past and future.
