Picture a rustic setting - beautiful mountains surround you, a short walk takes you to an awesome river beach. Whether sitting on the deck enjoying the view, hiking, fishing, swimming, tubing on the Kings River or just bathing in the sun - whatever leisure time activities you indulge in, a feeling of deep contentment prevails.
Sophia House strives to offer more than just a place to eat and sleep while exploring nearby Eureka Springs. It also offers an ambiance not found in many places - you can feel it welcoming you as you walk through the door. The Sophia House provides a spirit of peace, relaxation and joy with the quiet, simple taste of its interior rooms and furnishings and its outside treasures - an awesome mountain view and short walk to the beautiful Kings River with its private primitive beach.
Sophia House is situated in The King of Glory Catholic Community, an 88 acre tract of secluded land, with several households which together maintain a small chapel on the land. As guests of The King of Glory Community, individuals and families staying at Sophia House will have available to them river access with a private primitive picnic area and beach on the Kings River and are invited and encouraged to visit the close by peaceful chapel for prayer and reflection.
Within a ten mile radius Eureka Springs offers many attractions such as the Great Passion Play, Christ of the Ozarks, live shows featuring song, music, and comedy of the Ozarks, Onyx Cave, horseback riding, canoeing on the Kings River, as well as antiques and many arts and crafts shops, spas, massage and other body/mind/spirit exalting experiences. There are numerous restaurants and cafès with tantalizing cuisines.
The quaint and beautiful architecture of Eureka is also worth spending time appreciating; you can walk through it or rent a horse and buggy to see the town. Take time to visit the historical Carnegie Library, 1850's Crescent Hotel, and go through the bell tower of St. Elizabeth's Catholic Church (listed in "Ripley's Believe It or Not"), follow the side walk down to the main entrance, stop in the beautiful awe-inspiring church for a moment of prayer and tranquility before returning home.
A contented feeling will mark the return to the house at the end of a fun-filled day, whether it involves relaxing on the deck, reading a book in the library, watching a video or playing one of the board games provided, walking the property, visiting the chapel, or hanging out at the riverside. Come nightfall spread out a blanket on the lawn and see how many constellations or planets you can identify. It is truly awesome on a clear night! You might just see a shooting star!
This is the ultimate get-away experience. Come, experience the peace.
