Another Roadtrip, Another Night in Eureka Springs

"How would you feel about driving down and spending a night in Eureka Springs on Thursday?"..."Perfect, I was just thinking about that and I'd thought you'd never ask!"...that was all it took for me to be on board with leaving a day early to spend a few hours in this quaint mountain town before heading on to our next destination.

We arrived at the Basin Park Hotel around 12:30 am, just in time to check-in, drop off our bags and head out to spend the rest of the evening at Chesea's Cafe, the best little bar in town.  Just a few short blocks from the Basin, we made our way down the uneven streets enjoying the fresh mountain air. It was perfect patio weather too; the beers and tequila shots ran smooth.  We felt it was our duty to help the locals close the bar down.

The next morning meant breakfast.  The BF introduced me to a little place called The Mud Street Cafe.  It has recently just opened for the season, so I highly recommend it if you are traveling to Eureka Springs.  Traditional breakfast for me; eggs, bacon, potatoes and toast.  Did I mention it's bottomless cups of coffee too?  A great little place to dine. And FYI, their pastries had me drooling!

You can't go to Eureka Springs without venturing out and about the town.  Downtown has a ton of shops, coffee houses, and local places to grab a bite to eat.  Walk the neighborhoods around there too, with the cool architecture, art, and other points of interest, you will not be disappointed.  Plus, the people are super friendly and dogs are welcome almost everywhere!

Eureka Springs was the perfect start to the long weekend!
It's a must stop if you are in Arkansas 🌲
