About this property

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".

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.

About the host

Hosted by james m viola

Host profile image
I am originally from Connecticut, but moved here in 2013 after retiring from 46 years in the grocery business. People often ask why I don't take a vacation and the answer is simple. Living here is like a permanent vacation. I enjoy long walks and visiting with folks in our friendly town. I am a Trout fisherman and if you are interested, I can hook you up with an excellent guide on the white river.

What makes this property unique

We are 5 minutes from Beaver Lake and the White River where some of the best fishing in the US is available. We can recommend an excellent fishing guide if catching trout, walleye, bass, etc. is on your agenda!! Please see our website for a list of the calendar of events and restaurants in the area.

Free parking on the premises. We live on a private road with limited neighbors so nature walks are encouraged where all kinds of wildlife can be seen.

Since The Nest is located in the downstairs area of our home we will be available to assist them if needed.

At night the trees come alive with our light show. It is a special attraction that all the guests love.
