    Fantastic location, perched on a hillside just 17 steps from Main St.shops and restaurants and named one of top 6 "Most Romantic Inns of the South" by Romantic Destinations Magazine (published by Southern Bride.) Also recipient of Trip Advisor's prestigious "2011 Certificate of Excellence" Award and BNBFinder's "2011 Guests' Favorite Inn" Award. Three restored historic houses in a row, each with two large private-entrance two-person Jacuzzi suites, plus two individual historic cottages with private hottubs. We're into a healthy lifestyle. Two suites and two cottages are strictly non-smoking properties -- no smoking anywhere on the property without exception! Other suites accommodate smoking outdoors on private decks, balconies, porches. Cigars are not permitted anywhere on the properties as the odor stays in the "holler" and causes discomfort for other guests. All 6 suites have: Jacuzzis For 2 (Tennyson also has an open-air outdoor shower for 2 available from late April to late October!), complimentary Champagne or white wine chilled and waiting in your fridge; in-suite beverage bars with imported teas, coffee, hot choc. Some fireplaces. Private balconies, front porches, decks. Inn's elf delivers an award-winning full-gourmet breakfast right to your suite. Both stand-alone cottages have fabulous views, fully-equipped kitchens (breakfast is not included), private hottubs on decks tucked into woods, faux fireplaces. WINTER POLICY NOTE: We have temporarily reduced rates for dates booked for stays thru March 2012. Check out our availability link for these savings: .superinn/webview1.asp?dkCliff_Cottage_Inn

    I was in Eureka alone and had no plans to stay in a B&B since I always associated them with couples. I was so wrong. From the minute I walked through the doors of the cottage I was greeted like a special guest and found a beautiful inn that was owned and run by two of the most well travelled, enjoyable people! My room was inviting, wonderfully furnished with all the comforts of home. I will return to this Inn many times.

    Innkeeper Response
    It is always such a pleasure to have friendly and thoughtful guests stay at our inn -- makes all the work and efforts we put into preparing our rooms and breakfasts worthwhile!

    The absolutely best part of our recent trip to Eureka Springs was our stay at The Cliff Cottages in Collette’s Mini-suite! The proprietress provided detailed advance information so that we had no difficulty arriving at our destination! (Which is a challenge in this hilly and venerable Victorian village!) The attention she and her “elf” gave to our accommodations made us feel quite comfortably “at home” - with a luxurious French twist! Little touches like, being welcomed by the sound of twittering birds, wine in the ‘fridge, romantic double Jacuzzi in the corner, books by and about Collette, wide selection of videos to choose from (and the one we selected “just happened” to go with the room perfectly)! Conversations with our host and hostess upon our arrival and departure were enthralling¿! Plus they are both as warmly interested in listening to their guests stories as they are in sharing their own! And then there were the breakfasts¿¿ Oh, my¿! Words cannot do justice! We had ours, served by the elf, outside on our own private tiny deck, sheltered from the sun and fanned by a cooling draft under the cliff wall backing The Place Next Door! I do recommend purchasing A Cook’s Book of Epicuria as a memento of your stay! Sandra’s adventures will amaze you, and her recipes are delightful!

    Awesome B&B! Right from the start before we even got there, Sandra (the proprietor) showed caring detail in how to get there, where to go etc. Once we got there, we were very happy with the close walking proximity to the town and all it offers. Sandra was very welcoming and very sweet. We stayed in the Alfred Lord Tennyson suite and love it! Very clean, cozy and comfortable. We loved the front and back porch lounging areas and the views it offered, the Jacuzzi and the fun outdoor shower along the bluffs. Great place, amazing character and AMAZING gourmet breakfast delivered to the front door every morning (which we also bought her book and read it on the way home. Has some of the great recipes she cooks in there in addition to great stories about her very interesting life). Highly recommended! Thanks Sandra!!!!! We will be back soon!

    Innkeeper Response
    We're thrilled that our guests had such a good time and it was totally a pleasure preparing and delivering our famous breakfasts to their suite each morning! Makes such a big difference to us as innkeepers when the guests enjoy our breakfasts! Makes all the effort and love we put into preparing these labor-intensive breakfasts worthwhile!

    We celebrated out 8th wedding anniversary at The Cliff Cottage. It was in a fantastic location but it was all the extras that made it perfect. Sandy and her "elf" had delicious treats waiting for us when we arrived to our room. The "elf" even remembered us on our anniversary with a special treat. We had planned on sleeping late each morning but the breakfasts were sooooo good that we found ourselves getting up early and waiting on our private patio for the elf to deliver breakfast. We have been to many B&Bs but this place stands out and we plan to return many more times. Be sure and ask Sandy for good eateries....she was right on with her recommendations.


    She thought of everything.

    What a pleasure to be Sandra's guests. Sanda's rooms were comfortable and inspiring for a long weekend getaway. Her breakfast was superb every morning and she offered many great insights to enjoy Eureka Springs beyond the typical tourist experience. I especially loved the stacks of books relevant to our room's theme. I highly recommend Cliff Cottage Inn.
