The Big Giant Jesus

What can I say! I do believe that if the BGJ fell on you it would be a straight shot to heaven.

Trolley Cars

http://www.cityofeurekasprings.org/transit.html

Eureka Springs can be a hard city to get around, the roads twist and turn and if you are new to the city it is easy to get turned around and not know where you are. Also when driving, the driver misses a lot of the sight seeing opportunities. The trolley system offers a great solution, buy a ticket and ride all day. You can go all over town and even most if not all attractions even on the out skirts of town. Also great to ride into town if you are going to have a few drinks, don't have to worry about a designated driver! I recommend trying the trolleys for at least one day of your stay.

Crescent Hotel

Wow, the Crescent Hotel is awesome. They have plenty of free parking. The history of the hotel is incredible, and quite lengthy. Briefly, it was built as a hotel, was a college for girls, spent time as a experimental cancer treatment hospital and is now a hotel. Oh yeah, it is haunted. It is a great place to stay. They have a very professional ghost tour of the hotel, the restaurant offers great service and wonderful food, the trolley stops right in front of the hotel(check out my post on the trolleys), carriage rides are available at the front door... The room that I stayed in had been recently remodeled and the bed was very comfortable. The hotel was featured on the ghost hunter show "TAPS" and they captured some amazing video. If you are looking for a hotel type visit, not in the middle of downtown, the Crescent Hotel is a great choice.

Dinner Bell Ranch

The wife and I got married at the Dinner Bell Ranch (DBR), http://www.dinnerbellranchandresort.com/ and we stay at the ranch just about every trip to ES. You will find the owners of the ranch very personable, non-intrusive, friendly, down to earth, nice people.

I like staying at the DBR when I am ready to get away from everything and enjoy some peace and quite. It is a couple of miles out of town and is an excellent retreat. There are four cabins with fully equipped kitchens, a wonderful hot tub for two, an extra large front porch, charcoal grill and beautiful views.

We always take advantage of the horseback riding available on the ranch. They have several options to choose from. The first time we rode was up to the vista with the preacher were we married on horseback.

The Dinner Bell Ranch is my number one choice and recommendation for a relaxing get away.
