We think it’s wrong to limit romance to one day a year. While that may not be the intention of Valentine’s Day, for some, it’s as good a reason as any to ration romantic gestures like flowers or chocolates. In order to combat that mentality, we invite you to celebrate Valentine’s Day all month at our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast.
A cozy fire sparks romance in the Monet room.
Our February & Lovers Go Together package includes complimentary beverages, chocolates for two, and a $20 voucher for lunch or dinner at one of Eureka’s finest eateries. We’re also offering a 40% discount on a couples’ massage–one of the best ways to shed tension and relax.
The simple fact that you decide to bring your sweetie to our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast earns big points in the romance department. After all, there is something inherently romantic about our Victorian inn. Maybe it’s our guest rooms, which features fireplaces and whirlpool baths made for two. Maybe it’s peaceful setting, or the gourmet food. Maybe it’s the fact that so many people who stay with us are in love.
Whatever the reason, we invite you to come see for yourself. We’re celebrating Valentine’s Day all month here. Join us.

Heaven = a fountain of chocolate.
Each February around Valentine’s Day, Eureka Springs hosts a Chocolate Lovers’ Festival. Anyone is welcome, but it’s really for those of us who believe that chocolate is divine.
In 2012, the Eureka Springs Chocolate Lovers’ Festival takes place on Saturday, February 11. Plan to dive into chocolate fountains–or at least dip strawberries and other tasty treats into them. Taste a wide selection of chocolate, from the dense and dark to the sweet and white. There will be chocolate for every palate.
Bring your sweetie and your love of chocolate to our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast the weekend of February 11th, just before Valentine’s Day. It has been said that chocolate is an aphrodisiac. Truth or Fiction? Try it and see.

Wish for snow.
The weather’s been kind of crazy this winter here at our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast. One day we’ll have temperatures in the 60s, the next the high will be in the 30s. We pull out our winter coats one day, and wear short sleeves the next. It keeps us on our toes.
We’ve decided to make a game out of this whacky weather through the end of the month of January. If it snows during your stay at our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast, we’ll give you a discount. You’ll receive 10% off for every inch of new snow we receive during your stay (up to 4 inches and 40%).
Guests will also receive a discount if it’s colder than normal. The average January high is 40 degrees. You’ll receive 1% per degree per day: if the high temperature is 38 degrees, you’ll receive 2% off that night. If the high reaches only 35 degrees, you’ll receive 5% off that night. How fun is that?
Remember snow days when you were a child? That amazing feeling of waking up and learning that school was cancelled due to snow? You’d pull on snow gear and run out to play, then warm yourself with cookies and cocoa. Such days were some of the best of winter.
As adults, snow days are a great excuse to curl up with a book, or snuggle with a loved one while watching a movie. We have cocoa, we have cookies. The inn is cozy warm.
Consult the powers that be and make your reservations today; this special ends on January 31, 2012. It’s a gamble, but then so is life. And really, you can’t lose. Either you’ll have a delightful stay in Eureka Springs and balmy weather, or you’ll have a delightful stay in Eureka Springs, cold and snow, and a discount.

The Venice Carnival dates back to the 15th century, if not before. Carnival in Rio De Janeiro has been celebrated for hundreds of years, as has New Orleans’ Mardi Gras. These are world-famous events–the kind of thing a person ought to experience once in a lifetime. Now there is another.
It's fresh! It's fun! It's Eureka Gras!
Eureka Gras
Mardi Gras Eureka Springs is not as well known as the carnivals in Rio, Venice, and New Orleans. It doesn’t draw quite the same crowd. We think that’s just fine. Folks who attend Eureka Gras enjoy more of the experience, with less hassle. Many events take place close to our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast.
The first 2012 Eureka Springs Mardi Gras event took place this past weekend, with the January 7 Kings Day Kick Off party. Future highlights include:
- “Taste of N’Awlins”: cafe au lait and beignets will be served at Rowdy Beaver Restaurant. 4 to 5 p.m.
- Nite Parade: rolls down Spring and Main Streets, starting at 6 p.m.
- Hookers and Jokers Ball: Thursday, February 16 starting at 6 p.m. Costumes encouraged.
- Mardi Gras Parade: rolls through historic, downtown Eureka Springs at 2 p.m, February 18.
- Beaux Arts Masquerade Ball: Basin Park Hotel Barefoot Ballroom, 7 p.m. Saturday, February 18.
- Jazz Brunch New Orleans Style: Crescent Hotel, 11 a.m to 2 p.m, February 19.
- St. ‘Lizbeth’s King Cake Ball and Mardi Gras Supper: featuring Cajun food, live music by Naturally Brass, and Eureka Springs’ largest King Cake. February 18, 6:00 to 10:30 p.m.
Come on, laissez les boons temps rouler in Eureka Springs. Our little town loves to throw a party, and this is about the biggest party we throw. It’s fun. Additional information is available at Eureka Gras Mardi Gras.
Eureka Springs doesn’t fill up quite like New Orleans does during Mardi Gras, but it’s still a good idea to make your travel plans soon. Reserve a room at our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast today.

Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.
There have always been excellent reasons to visit Northwest Arkansas. Now there is yet another: Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.
Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art opened on November 11, 2011. Since that time, approximately 90,000 visitors have walked through its doors, including quite a few guests of our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast. The museum’s opening was “the event” of 2011; and it will undoubtedly continue to draw crowds in 2012.
Gracefully situated on a 120-acre wooded campus outside Bentonville, Crystal Bridges invites guests to commune with nature and explore five centuries of American Art. The museum, designed by world renowned architect Moshe Safdie, is nestled around two creek-fed ponds. Walking and biking trails traverse the woods, offering both places to stretch the legs and quiet spots to admire nature’s beauty. You’ll feel uplifted and inspired before you even walk through the doors.
Inside, a number of galleries highlight different periods of American art. The museum’s permanent collection, Celebrating the American Spirit, arranges pieces more or less chronologically, giving viewers an historical perspective as well an artistic one. Spend a full day here, or return again and again. We plan to visit it frequently.
Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art is open to all and free for all. It is a wonderful addition to Northwest Arkansas. Many guests of our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast have already discovered it; we hope many more will visit it in 2012.
