Hopefully the worst is behind us and cooler days will be arriving soon. We’ve had many visitors from Texas in the last few weeks that come to the Ozark Mountains for a respite from the sweltering heat. The evenings have been pleasant with temperatures in the 70′s and a few guests have chosen to have breakfast outside to enjoy the cool mornings. Kids will be going back to school soon and we hope you’ll take some time for yourself to relax in Eureka Springs.
