The flowers are blooming and the grass is growing! Spring is definitely here. Hummingbirds have returned and we've got all our feeders filled. Don't miss the beautiful scenery and cool weather in Eureka this time of year.

Blues Weekend is the last weekend of this month, so please don't wait too late to call, especially if you want a specific suite or cottage. We only have a few left.

During the entire month of May, Eureka Springs celebrates the art in our lives…from painting and music to dancing and art-cars!
