About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Nest at 188 is a unique lodging/retreat located in Eureka Springs, Arkansas.

We are located on Highway 62 at Inspiration Point in Eureka West and 6 miles from the town of Eureka Springs, 5 minutes from Beaver Lake and the White River where fishing is superb and approximately 35 minutes from Rogers, Arkansas. We are also located between The famous "Opera Of The Ozarks" and the "Eureka Springs School Of The Arts" (ESSA) where you can take any kind of class imaginable.

The quiet peace and serenity felt here at 188 Ozark Automotive Road prompted us to want to share with others the experience of living here. "The Nest", which is listed as a house is actually a completely remodeled downstairs area of our home with themed rooms and with 1500 sq feet of living space is the size of a small house!! We do live upstairs. Three bedrooms, 2 baths, living room, full kitchen ( minus dishwasher) and dining area. Two private decks are available, one overlooking the pond where you will meet Bella the Bluegill and an assortment of gold fish that come when called to eat breakfast and dinner!! YES .. they really do!! You might choose to relax in the 2 person jacuzzi tub in the early evening hours and watch the spectacular sunsets that we experience here and will surely catch the deer and or fox grazing below the 4 picturesque windows overlooking the Ozark Mountains.

Just a few of the amenities:
- fresh linens, pillows, blankets, comforter, towels, etc.
- coffee machine , sandwich maker, toaster
- full kitchen: 'fridge, oven, stove, microwave, pots, pans, dishes, utensils, etc.
-complimentary coffee, tea, hot chocolate, instant oatmeal
- wireless internet
- closet space
-private climate control
-electric fireplace
-2 person jacuzzi tub
-2 private decks

The Nest sleeps up to 10 people, so if you are wanting to just get away from the hustle and bustle of the fast paced life for a weekend, looking for a place to have that scrapbook retreat, or any kind of retreat, ladies night out, gentleman's fishing trip( and we know an excellent guide) or that special place to spend your home to "The Nest".

Fantastic views, location and accommodations!
The view from our bedroom and the property was incredible! Absolutely breathtaking! We loved being close to Eureka Springs while being even closer to the lakes and hiking trails. Eureka Jim is a gracious host who was able to tell us about things we hadn’t done yet in the area and info on things we wanted to do again. The Nest was a very comfortable and artistic lodgings. We all slept very well there and enjoyed hanging out there after a long days hiking and shopping. Even our corgi loved it! We definitely recommend staying there and plan to on our next trip to Eureka Springs.

Family Vacation
It was a scenic, quiet and quirky place. Its artistic flair matched the style of Eureka Springs. Eureka Jim went above and beyond with his hospitality and knowledge of all the things to do and places to eat in Eureka. It was close to hiking trails in Lake Leatherwood and Beaver Lake. We loved our view of the Ozark mountains from the bedroom! Jim connected us with a local artist named Randy, the Sandman. We had a great time creating sand art! Randy was a wonderful teacher! We would definitely stay here again!

The Nest. For romance and also the family
Great home with plenty of room for the whole family. The house is very warm and decorated to the occasion. Jetted bath is awesome and beds are comfortable. Close to all the attractions but far enough for those quiet nights by the fire pit. We loved it.

On our first stay at The Nest
My fiancée and I came to Arkansas at the beginning of fall and the weather was so perfect! We came to spend our Wedding at The Nest and found the Host exceptionally kind and generous with his property. There are too many amazing and quirky accents and attributes to mention! The most important thing to know is that if you want it - whatever It is - it is either already there in The Nest, or the amazing Host will get it for you. If you tell him what would make your stay perfect, I’m sure he would help you have it. You will have every comfort made available to you, and I know that every night you will find majik all around you - even in the trees. Jake and Sasha

A treasure
Wonderful host with a vivid imagination in constructing The Nest. Lots of space and very clean. Just the right amount of outside town to be in the midst of everything in a few short minutes. Our dogs loved their stay as well. Would love to see a fenced in section in the grassy area from the Coca Cola porch where we could let the fur babies wander in and out at their leisure but there was plenty of free space to walk them outside. Once of the best experiences we've had with VRBO. Thanks Jim!

Fun Basement Lodging near Opera of the Ozarks
It was hard to wipe the smile off of our faces when looking around at all of the decorative retro items. Fun and nice to be in the country overlooking a gorgeous valley. We loved our stay. Notes: Lighting is low. Difficult to read by, especially at night. We could have used more outlets. A full-length mirror would have been nice (on the wall at the closet?).
