Winter weekends, or the quiet side of the week
Winter in Eureka Springs brings holiday lights downtown, a run of town events and bare woods you can see deep into. Come for a weekend and catch the events in town, then come back to the forest at night.
Or come Sunday to Thursday. Midweek nights are the calmest time on the property: the sauna is easy to get, the trails are close to empty and downtown is unhurried.
Forest Springs Resort sits on 10+ wooded acres, about five minutes from the historic downtown, so you get both without a long drive.
