The host thought of everything. Loaded coffee bar, jacuzzi with adjustable lighting, fluffy towels, activities, restaurants and trails options all conveniently on display. Wonderful views from the 2 private patios and observation deck/ tower. We loved all the wonderful quirky and cool art. Tons of space to sprawl out and unwind. We'll definitely be back to enjoy our home away from home.

The Nest. For romance and also the family

Great home with plenty of room for the whole family. The house is very warm and decorated to the occasion. Jetted bath is awesome and beds are comfortable. Close to all the attractions but far enough for those quiet nights by the fire pit. We loved it.

We felt like the VIPs of this community where we stayed! We were greeted by the property being lit up with Christmas decor, this was definitely a great way to kickoff the holiday season. Our host was super friendly and very helpful to offer local advice during our stay.

Fantastic views, location and accommodations!

The view from our bedroom and the property was incredible! Absolutely breathtaking! We loved being close to Eureka Springs while being even closer to the lakes and hiking trails. Eureka Jim is a gracious host who was able to tell us about things we hadn’t done yet in the area and info on things we wanted to do again. The Nest was a very comfortable and artistic lodgings. We all slept very well there and enjoyed hanging out there after a long days hiking and shopping. Even our corgi loved it! We definitely recommend staying there and plan to on our next trip to Eureka Springs.
