Experience Eureka Springs the same way residents did over one hundred years ago...in this lovely home in the very heart of Eureka's Historic District.
Built in 1885, this cottage is in the National Register of Historic Homes and is one of the finest examples of the many beautifully restored Historic Victorian homes of this era. It is furnished with many period antiques.
You will find that The Bodie House is a charming Victorian cottage with all the gingerbread trim, located in the heart of the Historic District. You are mere steps (next door) from the trolley stop or a short stroll to the historic downtown for fine dining, unique shops, boutiques and art galleries. Should you decide to venture out for some hiking, horseback riding, boating or fishing, all are found close by. Eureka Springs is surrounded by lakes, rivers, streams and even caves, all just minutes from the Bodie House.
This Historic Victorian cottage is beautifully furnished including a full kitchen and laundry room. Hi speed wireless internet, flat screen high definition TV, DVD, and CD/FM/AM stereo add to your enjoyment. The private deck overlooks and has a full view of the Eureka Springs Valley and the Christ of the Ozarks. A friendly front porch is perfect for people and parade watching. Or, if you like, just enjoy a quiet moment experiencing the natural beauty of Eureka Springs at the Bodie House.
A dining room offers a cozy place to enjoy your meals or a game of cards. There is plenty of room to spread out and relax at The Bodie House.
The Bodie House is a great choice for couples or families. It is the perfect choice for four. Two bedrooms with queen beds.
A stay in the Bodie House offers privacy, comfort and rest not found at bed and breakfast rentals. You won’t have anyone staying in the room next door, and you won’t have breakfast with strangers! Yet, you will find all the style and class of a bed and breakfast.
The Bodie House will complement your vacation in every way. From the quiet surroundings to the beautiful views, you will enjoy every aspect.

Loved this cottage!
We loved this cute, quirky cottage with it's own personality. Great place to stay in Eureka Springs...close to town, lots of beautiful Victorian homes to see on the evening walk. We really enjoyed our stay.
Easy, clean amazing view!
This house is amazing! It was extremely clean! It was easy to book and talk with the owner about items that were on the home! We didn't have any problems and all of us enjoyed our stay! Beds were great! We enjoyed be able to walk to downtown for dinner, drinks and shopping! It was a bit of a walk, but we are all late 20's and early 30's so we enjoyed it. The view put back was amazing! Sitting on the porch drinking coffee as great! This is a great place to stay!! Thanks you very much!!
Wonderful Home
We felt right at home in this lovely cottage. The wood floors and antique furniture and decor made us feel like we had passed through time. Location was great. The beds were comfy! The porches were perfect for reading, visiting, relaxing or people watching. There were plenty of places to walk nearby- its very close to St. Elizabeth's Catholic Church with the unique bell tower entrance. We loved it!
Bodie house
Cottage was beautiful and comfortable located in a neighborhood perfect for walking. If you love old houses with a lot of character and charm, this is the house for you. We had everything we needed for a home away from home.
Back In Time
We stayed in this great little cottage for 2 nights and really enjoyed it. It's like stepping back in time and really experiencing historic Eureka Springs. The house is older and has old house quirks but is decorated really cute, had everything we needed, and was very comfortable. The quirks made us smile. I'll probably be a little crooked in spots when I'm over a 100 years old, too! The house does have steep, narrow stairs that might not work for everyone but they have a good hand rail. We had no problems with them and we are in our 60's. The porches have beautiful views and are great for relaxing and having a cup of coffee. It's on a lovely street with beautiful Victorian homes and not far from town. The trolley stop is right next door. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay there again if we get to come back for a visit. It was the perfect atmosphere for a trip back in time.
Disappointing
Rundown, stairs are scary, not appropriate for aged, bathrooms-shower unhandy, in reality did not measure up to the advertisement, we were very disappointed...
