Gay Travel Guide

A Gay Visitor's guide to Eureka Springs

Where to stay, eat, drink, dance, party, shop and get hitched in the gayest and gay-friendliest city in Arkansas and, in fact, in all of the Mid-South region of the country.

LODGING

Eureka House
Eureka House is 5 minutes from downtown. 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, plus gorgeous sunroom. Sleeps 2-6. Huge kitchen, fabulous gathering room, entertainment room with surround sound plus whole house stereo, decks, laundry room with washer and dryer and something not found anywhere in Eureka... A 2 car garage - so plenty of room for that snazzy car or your bikes. All on 12 acres to roam, hike, relax. Or just sit on the decks at treetop and enjoy the view. Private with gardens.
