I found Rock Cottage Gardens on the internet, while searching for a place to elope in Eureka Srpings, AR. I fell in love with the pictures of the individual stone cottages and quaint stone chapel. This was a short notice decision and Mlke & Debbie, proprietors, were very helpful & accommodating over the phone. When we arrived to a beautifully decorated and extremely clean cottage I was not dissappointed. I felt comfortable & at home. There was not one thing missing from the room. The fridge was stocked, home made cookies & treats were waiting. I loved the big white robes and the double jacuzzi tub. It was great in the evening to sit in our adirondack chairs out our front door, surrounded by beautiful gardens. Later we met great people around the outdoor fireplace. Mike & Debbie calmed any apprehensions we had about our ceremony the next day.
Home made gourmet breakfeast , on the front porch of the main house, prepared by Debbie the next morning, was delicious. You will not be able to eat lunch. Our ceremony that afternoon was beautiful in the chapel with Mike as our minister and Debbie, our witness. The photographer they recommended did a wonderful job and our pictures turned out great.
This wedding meant a great deal to me, as my husband and I were first loves in high school and went our separate ways until 30 years later at our high school reunion. We wanted a small and private ceramony and we were blessed by being sent in the direction of Rock Cottage Gardens. It is a great place stay for whatever reason and we will be back in the Fall to enjoy that season with Debbie & Mike.

As a cost-conscious traveler (and graduate student on a budget) I was pleasantly surprised by the accomodations at the Rock Garden Cottages. The amenities were first rate, with a well-stocked mini-fridge, great selection of bite-size candies on the table and an excellent slice of spice cake wrapped and waiting on the night stand by the bed (students always note edibles first).
The cottage that my girlfriend and I stayed in was immaculate, and my girlfriend was quite taken with the homey touches that enhanced the peaceful ambience. The bed was a wonder, far superior to any to be found in even the higher-priced chain motels or hotels. The grounds were beautifully maintained, testament to the pride of ownership of Mike and Debbie. The breakfast whipped-up and served by Debbie, Mike and their efficient staff of 1 was excellent, with an apple-sausage that my girlfriend is still talking about. Needless to say, our stay was wonderful, if all too brief. It is a given that we will return, and will spread the word about this excellent B&B.

We were leaving Eureka Springs, Arkansas last week and as we were driving around a curve, we noticed the rock cottages. They were so attractive, we turned around and checked into staying another night just to stay in one. The innkeeper showed us which ones were available and we chose cottage 3. The interior was a pleasing new color scheme with a great working jacuzzi, luxurious bed, bath robes, and slippers.
When we unloaded our luggage, we were surprised to find freshly baked cookies in our room, along with other snacks. The refrigerator was stocked with drinks as well.
Our cottage had a swing just outside the door and the innkeepers built a patio fire for the late afternoon.
The next morning, we were served a 3 course breakfast with the desert rivaling Hard Rock's apple cobbler.
There was a nice chapel on the grounds for weddings and renewals with several add-on packages for those involved in saying "I Do".
The grounds were a feast for the eyes as well as a rest for the mind.
I have included 4 photos of the cottages as well as the one we stayed in. My interior photos did not turn out or I would have included one of the interior, especially since it was so pleasing.
I would not hesitate to refer this experience as a "must do" while visiting Eureka Springs.
We have been to Eureka Springs several times over the years and this was a "treat".

The Rock Cottage Gardens is the perfect blend of quaint vs modern, old vs new, lively vs relaxing and friendly vs private. We had a very relaxing weekend to attend a wedding. Mike and Debbie were the perfect host and hostess. We would recommend this to everyone and have already told several of our friends they need to go to Eureka Springs just to stay at the Gardens. We will definitely go back.
