Every weekend in October seems to be filled with so many events that it’s hard to pick a favorite. Just some of the events in October are the Corvette weekend, War Eagle Craft Fair, Minis in the Ozarks, Eagle Watch and Fall Foliage tours on Beaver lake, Haunted Hay Rides, Voices from the Silent City, the Intrigue Theater Ghosts Have Answers, the Mad Hatter’s Ball and so much more.
We love decorating for fall with the orange leaves, pumpkins, cornstalks and scarecrows. This year, we let guests judge from the jack-o-lanterns to pick their favorite.
Weekends are pretty full, but we still have some weekday vacancies and we’d love to have you stay with us at our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast and enjoy the scenery that only comes around once a year.
