My wife and I stayed here for our 5th anniversary. We chose the place because they allow dogs and we like to take our German Shepherd/Husky mix with us on trips occasionally.
When we arrived the place was really nice outside but the inside looked a little beat up and the carpet looked pretty soiled and grimy. We figured since they allow dogs we could deal with a little uncleanliness. It was the kind of place where you want to make sure you are wearing something on your feet when you walk around.
The owner at first seemed like a nice person; although we thought it was a little strange that she didn't seem to know anything about Eureka Springs, like maybe she didn't get out much, (even though she said she had been there several years). We asked where to find a good restaurant and she apparently had never been to any of the restaurants. That was ok, no big deal. We ended up finding some good places to go anyway.
One morning we decided to move the little table from the kitchen out on the wraparound deck to have breakfast outside, (the deck has a large roof over it). There were a few rainshowers in the area but again, the porch was completely covered.
After breakfast we decided to go to the store and pick up a few things. When we came back, to our surprise, all of the doors had been deadbolted, (our keys did not work on the deadbolts, only the locking doorknobs), and our poor dog was locked inside. We waited around for a few minutes and then all of a sudden she came flying up the driveway in a big truck with some dude, screeching to a halt in front of the cabin. She got out and began spouting profanities using just about every cuss word you can imagine. Apparently she was angry that we had moved the table outside onto the porch without permission and claimed that it was ruined. (The dude looked very mean; I was wondering if she had brought the dude along to beat me up or something). I looked at the table and it was clearly not wet at all, it even had one of those glass tops on it to keep it from getting wet. Again, the entire porch was completely covered. She made me and the big dude move the table back inside and then said she was going to charge my credit card for a new table. Despite this ugly experience, this was our last day there and I was not in any mood to go looking for other accomodations. She actually said that she would "allow" us to stay until the next day.
Keep in mind this cabin is among four or five other cabins on the property that are all very secluded. My biggest concern was not about the table, but the fact that we had rented a cabin so we could have privacy and this woman was snooping around the place when we were gone.
Bottom line, I would have gladly paid for the table had it actually been damaged but it was not. (It could not have been worth more than $20). Having someone eavesdropping on us on our 5th anniversary and then being verbally berated by a woman cussing like a sailor in front of my wife, (a very religious person), over a $20 table is not my idea of a fun vacation.
If you are looking for a nice cabin in Eureka Springs, we found out later after driving around town that there are a whole lot of options, most of them much nicer than this place. The lady running the place has some serious anger management issues, in addition to the fact that she seems to be spying on her guests.
