Forest Springs Resort is a boutique hotel with a pool in Eureka Springs, AR. The outdoor forest-view pool sits on a sun deck ringed by Ozark woodland, is open to every guest at no extra charge, and is a five-minute drive from downtown Eureka Springs.
Beyond the pool, the same 10+ acre property holds a Nordic sauna, a cold plunge, red light therapy, forest trails, a pickleball court, fire pits, and a fireside lounge, so a swim can turn into a full afternoon without leaving the grounds.
The pool at Forest Springs Resort
The pool is outdoors, cut into a clearing so the tree line surrounds you on three sides. Loungers and shaded seating line the deck, the sauna and cold plunge are a short walk away, and the lounge is close enough to bring a drink back to your chair. Pool access is included with every room , there is no pool fee, reservation, or time slot for resort guests.
Why guests choose a pool hotel outside the Historic Quarter
Most lodging in downtown Eureka Springs is historic Victorian houses on narrow lots, beautiful, but without room for a pool. Forest Springs Resort sits 1.5 miles east on E Van Buren, close enough to walk into a dinner reservation after a swim, far enough to have space for water, trees, and quiet.
Pool, sauna, and cold plunge in one circuit
Guests tend to use the pool as one step in a longer loop: sauna, cold plunge, pool, lounger. The sauna runs throughout your stay, the cold plunge sits beside it on the deck, and the pool gives you somewhere to float afterward. Nothing here is booked by appointment.
