Eureka Springs is a special place for us. We began our visit many falls ago during Halloween. It is a beautiful drive through the scenic Ozark Mountains and through the Arkansas wine country. We found the city full of history and charm. Halloween offers a special aurea with home owners sitting up a virtual Halloween Town for the trick or treaters. We look forward to returning to the city in the years to come.
would love to visit
Love Eureka Springs would love to go back there.
My husband & I spent 3 days of our vacation there and had a wonderful time. Would love to go back soon this time for christmas
After we moved to Tulsa, we went to Eureka Springs late in the summer. It was so beatiful and we had a wonderful time. I am so looking forward to driving there this weekend to look at the foliage and shop a bit. It is so worth the time it takes to get there and a beautiful drive. I can’t imagine anyone being sorry that they ever go there.
I have visited Eureka Springs four times and every visit keeps getting better and better. I feel like I have come home when I am there.
Will be visiting Eureka Springs in one week! Looking so forward to seeing the area once again.
My husband and I hold a special place for Eureka! We’ve been several times and always had a great time, and last month we got married at the Basin Park Hotel! … Never been for Christmas though!
My husband and i got married there this last june we enjoyed the town on our three day stay can’t wait to go back
Eureka, has a feel that I dont find just anywhere. Its one thing to go on a trip. Its another, to have special experience on that trip. Eureka Springs will give you that. Look forward to going again…. with a little help! “)~
The beauty of Eureka Springs is priceless, and the people just make it icing on the cake… We find something new every tim we visit and just LOVE this place.
LOVE Eureka Springs and every time I’m there I don’t want to leave.
We love to visit!
My wife and I come to Eureka Springs at least three times a year and never get tired of it. Thanks for the memories. Tim
Eureka Springs is a special place for us. We often come to Eureka Springs when we need to unwind and get away. When we step into the city limits, we can feel the stress drop away. Chelsea’s and Devito’s are two of our favorite restaurants, with Devito’s being our absolute favorite. We try to get there every year on our anniversary. This year will be our 25th. Annie’s boutique is my favorite haunt for clothing, there is always something fabulous and unique. We found our daughter’s prom dress there earlier this year. The old world charm never disappoints and neither do the people.
This would be sooooo fun!
love this place this time of year
We always have a great time at Eureka Springs. The charm of the city is unique.
we always have a great time in Eureka Springs. the people are fun and the town is beautiful
We visited ES a month ago to enjoy the beautiful fall foliage and to attend the Passion Play which was amazing! We always visit in the spring to see the beautiful dogwoods bloom and again in the fall for the colors. We try to come as often as possible. I love the friendly people, the artistic laid-back attitude and the amazing shopping! There are so many wonderful restaurants in Eureka to enjoy and so many things in and around Eureka to enjoy. We always find something new and different to do. It is so much fun to have such a variety of housing options! I’d love to win and come back in December!
This is one of my favorite places in the world! Would love to spend Christmas there
Last year we came down for the 1st weekend in December. Due to circumstances out of our control, we missed the parade. It was the one thing we came down for. However, we discovered a whole bunch of other awesome “christmas” delights while there…and I decided it was probably my most favorite trip to Eureka Springs to date. Would LOVE to come back and actually be there for the parade!
we love EUREKA!!
Would love to get away to eureka Springs !! my husband and i were married there in 2005 we have went back several times until april of 2009 and have not been able to afford to go again since then due to his diag of cancer 2 different stage 4. but his doctors call him there walking miracle for you see he is in remission! it would be wonderful to maybe go back to where we were married since no one thought he would live more than 3=6 months it has now been 2 and a half years!! God is good and i do believe in miracles!!!!
There’s NOTHING like visiting Eureka Springs. Christmas is so beautiful. I hope to bring my daughter back for the parade and a horse and carriage ride this year again!

My niece and I love Eureka Springs and visit every opportunity we can. We have never visited during Christmas holidays.
I am looking forward to visiting ES after all of the wonderful things I hear. Looks as though it will be the perfect place to visit this time of year. Can’t wait for my 2 1/2 year old little girl to enjoy all of the sights of the Winter Wonderland!!!
Never have I loved a place so much! My husband and I love getting away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and coming to such a welcoming and beautiful town. We actually got married in Eureka Springs! My favorite time of year in Eureka is winter. We would love to take part in the Christmas activities around town!
I come to Eureka Springs at least twice a year, but have never got to be there in December, would love to make it this year!
I would love to see the new art trail!!!
Eureka truly is Li’l Switzerland!!!
Would love to come and see the town at Christmas time. It’s one of my favorite places to visit!
Eureka Springs is a special place for my husband and I. Many of our best memories have been in Eureka Springs, and we look forward to making many memories in this wonderful place.
Eureka Springs is my favorite place on Earth to photograph. The people there are warm and helpful. Have filled many gallery shows with Eureka Springs as the subject and SHOULD get a show ready with a ES Christmas theme going! ;o) On my website there is a Eureka Springs album. http://ru4realphotography.com. Please check it out and enjoy! See you all later, one way or the other!
Yours,
Wolfie
Eureka Springs is truly Li’l Switerland! It is a winter wonderland. I love Eureka and would love to go back there!!! The Artist there are amazing!!
love the scenic beauty of arkansas
love the scenic beauty of eureka springs
Eureka Springs is a healing town. So it is said. I am living testimony to this fact. The town is enchanting. Its energy high and very alive! The people are whacky and eccentric, kind and full of love and acceptance. After losing my spouse to illness I found a way to keep going THROUGH the healing energy of Eureka Springs. My heart is still there playing street music (called Busking)with friends, eating Chelsea’s Pizza, visiting with Sherry from Grannie’s Place or Annie of Annie’s Boutique, visiting with locals and tourists alike, while Chuck Onoffrio or Arkansas Red play fantastic blue grass in The Basin Park. I am in love with Beautiful Eureka Springs. To have a way to go back if only for a few days and at Christmas!! .. is a dream come true.

Just moved over from the UK with my family, we have visited Eureka springs four times in the last five months and we are looking forward to seeing lights at Christmas
Eureka Springs touched us so much. I am an Arkansas native but currently live in Florida. My two favorite towns are St. Augustine, Florida and Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Both are some what enchanting. My favorite is still “Eureka Springs.”
My husband and I spent a week in Eureka Springs and it has become one of my favorite vacations EVER!! We stayed in a quaint old hotel in the center of the downtown area,it reminded me of the old movies and Jack the Ripper days, lol. This is cool for me because I love scary movies and Victorian themed stuff. The Crescent Hotel GHOST TOUR is an absolute must and the tour of the city is great also
Eureka Springs is a beautiful place. My husband and I would love to visit it this holiday season. We’ve been working too hard and need a little change of pace.
I would love to go to Eureka Springs to shop for Christmas gifts for my family!
Always a good time in Eureka
My husband and our family have been visting Eureka Springs for years and every time have a wonderful experience! Would love to visit at Christmas time.
I have wanted to go to Eureka Springs for as long as I can remember!
Just one of the most beautiful towns in the United States. I always feel like I could just stay forever. Is surely God’s country.

We love Eureka so much we want to move there:)
Eureka Springs has a special place in my heart. It is where the love of my life and I met, got married and still come to have magical weekends away from the rat race. I love the feel of Eureka and I tell as many people as I can about it. Now our children are adults and they too appreciate Eureka for its own unique style.
We love to visit Eureka Springs. We enjoy the shopping as well as the history.
I’ve only got to experience Eureka Springs one time in 2010. I would love to be able to take my 2 daughters and enjoy a nice little get-away!
I love Eureka Springs!
Eureka Springs is my home away from home. I have been here several times and each time I leave I feel homesick until I go back. It has been almost 5 years since I have gotten to visit this beautiful town that I love so very much. My lifelong dream is to someday live in Eureka. I can’t wait to go back again!!!
First visited Eureka Oct 2007. http://www.bluebirdlodgeandcottages.com
This would be my first visit to Eureka Springs!
Police Officers Birthday!!!! My soon-to-be husbands birthday is December 6th. He is a police officer for Lee’s Summit, MO (near Kansas City). He puts his life on the line everyday for others and I would love to do something for him. He absolutely LOVES Christmas and I would love to be able to spend a weekend celebrating his birthday in a town that LOVES Christmas ALMOST as much as he does. We would most graciously appreciate it!
The first time I ever visited the beautiful town of Eureka Springs was for a friend’s wedding almost ten years ago. I fell in love with the people, homes, and atmosphere. Anytime I need an escape from the real world I try to slip away to Eureka Springs to find peace and relaxation. The last time we visited was for the wedding of our oldest daughter at The Crescent Hotel this last May. The wedding was beautiful. I would love to escape with my family again to your wonderful town. It would be the perfect way to celebrate the Christmas Season.
I love Christmas in Eureka Springs. It’s a simpler and less wasteful way to spend the holiday, and it is a special treat for the kids that doesn’t involve so much plastic and junk.
I have had many pleasurable memories of Eureka Spring’s. The versatility in attraction’s to attract everyone’s interests giving us a come together place to share. My self am a psychic, and enjoy the encounters I’ve experienced while visiting. I have actually been able to communicate with some of the oldest residence’s of Eureka Spring literally.
I love going to Turpentine Creek whenever I visit Eureka Springs!!
My husband and I went to Euerka Springs for our anniversary one year. It was so nice. It was relaxing and calming. We had left our son for the first time with my mother and was kind of stressed about doing that. Once we got there it seemed the town just brings peace. We didnt have a lot of money to do anything but loved touring the city and looking in all the little shops.
Oh man, could I use a trip to Eureka!!! Mama need a vacation soooooo bad!
Eureka Springs is one of our favorite places to visit. Geraldi’s serve the best pizza!
I visited in May. I love Eureka Springs!
I have heard how wonderful Eureka Springs is and would love to go there & see for myself!
Gotta’ love Eureka Springs!! One visit and you’re “hooked”!! Eureka Springs is an “addiction” for me. I have withdrawals if I don’t get my Eureka Springs “fix” at least twice a year!! There is NOTHING not to love about Eureka Springs. My first visit was over 50 years ago! Lots of changes in all these years but all for the better!
would be a nice christmas surprise for the family
We had our honeymoon here! its beautiful and havent had a chance to have our anniversary date yet this year, this would be a perfect date!!! we love eureka springs!

I love your town…..and share pictures of it every chance I get….My dream vacation spot….
We came to Eureka Springs on our honeymoon 44 1/2 years ago and have been back every few years as we could afford a vacation. We have never been there through the Christmas season, only in the spring and summer. I would love to present my husband with the prize! His birthday is 12-9-??.
Thanks.

We’d love to win this Christmas package.
Eureka Springs is the most beautiful place in Arkansas.
I am from Arkansas and really miss it. My favorite time of the year is Christmas. We live in San Antonio and my kids do not get to see the change of seasons nore experience the great southern hospitality you get from living in a small town. I want them to experience all this. I would love to bring them for the other seasons too. To see the leaves change color.
Have never been able to take our 2 children on a real vacation. I would love for them to be able to experience Christmas in Eureka Springs!
Wonderful experience for the family.
We love Eureka Springs!! We have been going there since we started dating over 40 years ago!!

I’m not gonna say I want/need this trip more than anyone who has already commented…but I need this trip…My daddy passed away last Easter from a rare sarcoma cancer & my mom passed away in June from a stroke(very sudden)…to say the holidays will be a little less complete this yr is an understatement…and there’s only ONE place I know that a persons soul can rejuvenate…and that’s ES!
