Sojourn Eureka Springs

Ozark Hollers

Let’s talk about the Ozark Mountains. What makes them special? Really, there are much bigger mountains out there. So, why bother with what some would simply call foothills?

From an outdoor enthusiast’s perspective, the Ozarks offer some of the most beautiful and rugged terrain in this part of the country. These mountains harbor the last area of significant topography before things begin to flatten out into the Great Plains to the west. In fact, the tallest waterfall between the Appalachians and the Rockies lies in the heart of the Ozarks. (more&#823

The Absence of Distraction

           Eureka Springs, snugly nestled in the heart of the Ozark Mountains, offers a unique blend of nature-made and man-made surroundings.  Throughout town there are numerous exposed bluffs and springs mixed with historic buildings that combine to create the magic that is Eureka Springs!

            This magic also exists throughout the hilltops and hollows in the surrounding area.  The feeling of this landscape is why the Ozarks will always be home to me and much of the reason I first began to seriously venture outdoors. (more&#823

Penland School of Crafts

Thanks for a great effort!

Each year we have made improvements to our website at eurekaspringsartists.com.

Dream Getaways

   Several weeks ago, I spent the better part of a day with a freelance writer from Brooklyn, New York, touring Eureka Springs and Beaver Lake. She was in town researching second-home markets for an upcoming feature in the New York Times.
   She discovered Eureka Springs while reading a Wall Street Journal article, “Vacation-Home Values: 12 Tempting Locales.” The report featured areas across the country where buyers could still purchase vacation homes at reasonable prices. A new waterfront home with magnificent views of Beaver Lake and the Ozark Mountains was touted for $599,000. (more&#823
