Serenity Hilltop was the perfect place for us to stay for a few days during our recent Arkansas vacation. The description of the home was very accurate and we found it well maintained, clean, and comfortable. The owners were friendly and accommodating of our needs. We motorcyced out to Blanchard Springs Caverns and the Arkansas Folk Art Center one day, and did some sightseeing in Eureka Springs another day. We enjoyed all we saw and did. The evenings were spent sitting on the deck visiting and looking at the spectacular view. We hope to return for another visit, and whole-heartedly recommend this home for people to stay at.Owner response: Thanks so much!! We would love to have you back again!

Amazing Weekend!
Amazing Weekend!

Just got home yesterday after spending the weekend here with a group. This place is super accommodating and friendly. The views from almost everywhere are amazing and serene. The owners are great and went out of their way a lot to make sure we had everything we needed. I would recommend this place to anyone going to the area, as it is just outside of the main town area and things are not difficult to get to from there. I had one of the best weekends ever here, and I won't forget it!Recommended for: Families with young children, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thank you so much!! It was so wonderful to have y'all back with us again, and we look forward to being a part of many of your life celebrations to come!

This is the best place we have ever booked. Clean, well maintained, friendly owners. just the very best! All three couples have been raving about our stay there. We would and have recommended it any of our friends. We all wished that we could have sat out on the verandas and soaked in the views more! The only down spot was the weather which was on the cold side, but that's not anything that the owners could control! We wish that the Passion Play had been on but then that gives us an excuse to go again some time in the future. If you and two other couples are considering a get-away together, this is the place. each couple has there own bedroom and you all have the kitchen, livingroom and dining area to meet and share. The kitchen had everything you might need to eat in and Eureka Springs has may nice places to eat out.Owner response: Thanks so much!! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to having all of you back in the summer to visit The Great Passion Play and all of Eureka Springs' wonderful events for the season.

We could not have asked for a better place to stay!! The view is spectacular and the house is beautiful!! We rented this home to host my son's wedding and it was perfect! The house was beautifully decorated and had more than enough space for everyone. The kitchen was large enough for cooking for a large family and fully stocked with pots, pans and silverware. Meg, the owner, is the best host in the world and was only a text away if we needed anything. She is fabulous!!! She even text us to let us know when there was deer feeding on the lawn to see. We will definately be returning to this house when we come back to Eureka as I think it will be impossible to beat this place!! Thanks Meg for making this special day perfect in every way!!!!!!Recommended for: Families with young children, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, adventure seekers, sightseeing.
Owner response: You are so welcome, Marva!! It was a beautiful day for your son and his new bride, and we are so thrilled to have been a part of it. We look forward to seeing you and your family again many times!!

Meg and Scott, Thank you so much for your warm hospitality and gracious home. We loved it and felt very welcome and at home. Our group has stayed in several VRBO homes around the country and yours ranks near the top of the list. Everything is very well organized. The house is convenient to town, the Great Passion Play, and beautiful drives through the countryside. We also appreciate your help watching for the missing luggage. The weekend was too short, so we look forward to returning for firepit time, more sitting on the back porches looking at that beautiful view, and hiking on your land. So much to do!!Recommended for: Families with young children, age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, adventure seekers, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thank you so much! It was a delight to have your group with us, and we look forward to having you back again. You are right. There are so many things you ladies didn't have time to do. We look forward to seeing you next season! Scott & Meg

A note left in our guest book from a woman in town for a second family wedding in one month: Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are an incredible couple and perfect hosts. I think we've started a tradition...not more weddings...but coming back to relax and enjoy this view and Eureka Springs and the hospitality.Did you find this review helpful?

A note left in our guest book after a weekend wedding here: Scott and Meg, you are amazing! Thank you so much for your hospitality and help this weekend. You exceeded our expectations more so than I could have ever imagined. The house is beautiful and the views are beautiful, but they are far outweighed by your kindness and generosity. Having our wedding reception here was by far the best decision throughout the whole wedding process, all because of you! You'll never know how much this has meant to me.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

This note was left in our guest book: We have really enjoyed our time here at Serenity Hilltop and Eureka Springs. Scott and Meg were wonderful. They checked several times to make sure we didn't want or need anything. This house was perfect for our needs--a young family with a baby and grandparents. Everyone had their own space! We will be sure to stay here again when we come back to Eureka Springs!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Location
Owner info
Year Purchased: 2012
About the owner: Scott and Meg married in 1990 and spent years living in the Detroit Metro Area before moving to Houston, TX, in 2005. They both earned graduate degrees and had busy careers (Scott as a CFO and Meg as a teacher and writer). But after decades of battling crazy traffic and commuting hours each day, they decided it was time for a change.
Why the Owner Chose Eureka Springs:
One look at this glorious property in Arkansas was all it took. Eureka Springs stole Scott & Meg's hearts, and the promise of waking up every morning to a view that stretched for miles clinched it. They packed up the family (including 4 cats and a dog) and relocated to what they now call Serenity HIlltop. Scott and Meg live just across the lawn from the guest house, so you may see Meg writing on the porch or Scott working in the yard. It is truly a little bit of heaven every day.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
Downtown Eureka Springs is delightful, but staying overnight in the city can make parking tricky and is not exactly peaceful. Serenity Hilltop offers the privacy for your group to be as quiet or as loud as you please, and to be all under one roof together. The house is perfect for family reunions, a weekend getaway with the girlfriends, and especially for weddings. Meg is ordained and licensed to perform weddings and civil ceremonies, and our pavilion offers a breathtaking view for your special day. Our property also provides the opportunity to hike the trails or have Scott take you out in the 4x4. Guests love to explore the cavern on our property and take quiet walks in the woods. Everyone in town comments on what a beautiful place we have, and we couldn't agree more. We'd love to share it with you!
