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.

Adorable house with beautiful views!
My girlfriends & I had a wonderful time while renting The Bodie House! Cute historic home with comfy beds & wonderful views from the back deck!
Loved it!
My family and I absolutely loved the Bodie House! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a small lovely cottage that is beautifully appointed. We seriously didn’t want to leave.
Thank you Shelly for your review! We think our cottage is perfect in location, has great front and back deck views, and has lots of old time charm. We hope you will stay with us again.
Quaint and perfect
Wonderful location, easy access, comfortable accommodations, and great view. Highly recommend staying at this house because it has everything that one would want (although the shower is a bit sketchy, but understandable).
Cute Victorian home
The Bodie House is beautiful and comfortable. The stairs can be a little treacherous, as they are pretty steep. Overall it is a great location and very cute home!
Really glad you enjoyed it! Hope you'll come back!
Needs a good cleaning
I was a bit disappointed in the cottage. It needed a thorough cleaning, including dusting the baseboards and furniture and top of the very short refrigerator. I am only 5'1' and I could see the dirt on top. Beds sheets were soft and clean. Floors slanted down toward the back of the house. Could be a nice place with some work. Downstairs toilet needs new flapper and chain to flush correctly.
Hi Peggy. We really appreciate the review. We will definitely speak to our housekeepers and management regarding your concerns. We would also like to offer you a free one night with a weekend rentalshould you decide to return and I promise the house will be very clean. Thanks again for your comments. Jack Bodie
