If you're looking for a place to stay while visiting Eureka Springs Arkansas, look no further than the Crescent Hotel & Spa. 
Since we were only in town for one day, we didn't have time to book a night...but, man, what a place (and very welcoming to non-booking explorers like ourselves). 
Originally built in 1886, the Crescent has a lively history. First a fancy resort, then a young women's college, a junior college, a few more changes of hands, and finally a more recent hotel renovation in 1997. 
Look close to the right of the telescope - the distant white above the trees is #bigJesus!
The musical instruments in the lobby were almost enough for me to visit! Some truly historic pieces that I've only read about in history books! 
Needless to say, we'll be staying here next time around. An amazing history, great views, cool rooms, a truly 'Grand Budapest' hotel right here in the Ozarks!

 Another great attraction in Eureka Springs Arkansas is the Thorncrown Chapel. With 6,000 square feet of windows and standing almost 50 feet tall, the chapel is one of the most beautiful buildings I've ever seen. It's free to visit (Please leave a donation if you can), and services are held on the Sundays. If you visit Eureka Springs you must visit Thorncrown - so cool. ~Paul, Amber, Mom ETC 
If you ever find yourself adventuring in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, make sure to find your way up to the top of Magnetic Mountain to see the Christ of the Ozarks statue. 
Now that's a big Jesus. 
It's a pretty epic statue out here in the woods! Although the construction of the statue was planned & financed by a pro-Nazi, anti-semitic (wasn't the big guy Jewish?), white supremacist...I'll go ahead and plead 'love thy neighbor' on this one and enjoy #big Jesus!!!!
