Labor Day Vactation in Arkansas

We are planning a trip for the week of Labor Day to Arkansas. We know we want to go to Hot Springs and then up to the Ozarks. Possible Eureka Springs or Mountain View. We live in the panhandle of Texas so there will be a lot of driving. We are looking for cabins or resorts to stay on the river that we could possibly walk out the door and do some trout fishing. We would like to find a place that is laid back, quiet and romantic but not too far from restaurants. Any suggestions on places to stay and ';must sees'; would be great.

You might want to check into the State Parks. Mt. Magazine is north of Hot Springs, I%26#39;ll actually be staying there later this month, just before your visit. It%26#39;s a new ';resort'; park that%26#39;s supposed to be very nice.

Eureka Springs is a neat area to visit, lots of romantic cabins. Cherokee Mountain is good and a break from the Victorian look that dominates the majority of architecture there; it%26#39;s about a 5 minute drive to town from there. Going about 5 minutes west of Eureka is Katie Willow. It looks not too hot from the outside but inside they%26#39;re truly beautiful. Very secluded and peaceful. Also the Comfort Inn is nice, try the Jacuzzi suites for a larger, more romance inspiring room. It%26#39;s located in the middle of town, so it%26#39;s more central to things to do. There%26#39;s not much in the way of fishing unless you want to stay at Beeaver Lake. The Beaver Lake cottages are nice but book up very quickly.

Mountain View is a smaller town, with less emphasis on tourism. Lots of great little restaurants on the town square. Hotels will be mostly smaller versions of the big chains.

Best of lucky, have a fun trip!

PS. I%26#39;m from Northeast arkansas and travel to that side of the state fairly frequently. It%26#39;s worth the drive!

Thanks for all the great information. We%26#39;ve decided to stay at Angler%26#39;s White River outside of Mountain View. I%26#39;m really looking forward to our trip.
