    This was the nicest B&B we've stayed at and have already reserved for our next stay. The room was super and the food was the best. Doug and Beverly take care of your every need and are always glad to talk or offer suggestions on things or places around town.

    Doug and Beverly Breitling provided us the perfect get-away. Their B&B is beautifully furnished and well-equipped and located close to shopping, dining anbd entertainment. The rooms are spacious and squeaky clean. The Breitlings are great hosts, offering us both their hospitality and excellent advice about goods and services available in Eureka Springs. Each morning, Doug prepares an outstanding gourmet breakfast which is served in a lovely "eat in" kitchen environment or an elegant dining area just off the kitchen by their efficient and personable staff. Snacks, homemade cookies, tea, coffee, etc. is available all day. The house is situated on a hill with wrap-around porch and ample parking is provided. Wooded walking paths begin as you step off the porch. Our stay at Arsenic and Old Lace was altogether a pleasant and memorable experience. And, perhaps best of all, our dog Buddy was able to stay with us in one of their pet-friendly rooms! Joe and Darlene Lorinc

    Another wonderful weekend!

    This was our second trip to Eureka Springs and we knew that Arsenic and Old Lace was the only place we wanted to stay. It was just as wonderful as our first stay there. Beverly and Doug are wonderful accommodating hosts. The breakfasts are delicious and served in the breakfast room where we had the fun of watching the wildlife in the back yard while eating. Our room was on the second floor and we had a private balcony which we really enjoyed. We also enjoyed the porch where we watched humming birds flitting about while looking out through the trees. The inn seems secluded and quiet while still being very close to the historic downtown area. We hope to be back before too long. Thanks, Beverly and Doug.

    A perfect 25th Anniversary

    I really don't knowwhere to begin. This placed is truly outstanding. Doug and Beverly made us feel like family from the minute we arrive until we had to reluctantly leave. If we had more time available there is no doulbt we would have stayed longer. We had just arrived after staying a few days at the Empress of Little Rock which was a disappointment and immediately knew that we had stepped into a little piece of Heaven. Our room the Tree house suite was beyond reproach as was the rest of the house and property. The place was spic & span from top to bottom. I really liked the Corn Apple pancakes. Our room had atruely outstanding shower with lots of room and water coming from 5 different nozzles. I have got to get me one of those. This place gets a 10 out of 10 on everything. Thanks.... Steven and Tammie.
