January, 2011
We had a great New Year’s weekend and we’re looking forward to an even better 2011, thanks to all our wonderful repeat guests. Thank you!
Although January is normally a quiet month here in Eureka Springs, we have lots to do this month. Decorations have to be put away, rooms need to be refreshened, year-end office work and planning for the year ahead all have to be done.
We’re trying something new this winter. Donna has decided to serve dinner to the cottages in January because the selection of restaurants is limited.
Our recipe for this month is a dessert that would the perfect for Valentine’s day. We made this a few days ago as a trial-run and it was fantastic.
Come relax and rejuvenate in Eureka Springs, your extraordinary escape. Reserve your dates today!

Carefully run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen; cool 1 hour longer. Refrigerate overnight.
