Worth a stop if you are getting married here, attending a wedding here, or are already in the area…read more I would not drive out of my way like some of the angry people who one-starred this spot, but to each their own. What it is - A beautiful chapel in the mountains of Arkansas. One man's dream that he almost didn't complete. Now it is a beautiful example of his dream fulfilled and a great spot for your wedding ceremony. I didn't get married here, but my introduction to this chapel was a wedding 25 years ago, where I was the best man. I came back over the holiday with my kids. We arrived, and there was a sign notifying us that a ceremony was going on, so we came back on a different day. It was just as beautiful as I remembered. It is truly a site to behold. What it isn't - Remember when I said a ceremony was going on when we first arrived? This is a place where people get married. If you were getting married and some yahoo from Louisiana showed up with his two kids dressed casually, you wouldn't particularly like it. So don't drive from far away and definitely don't try to interrupt someone's wedding.

Options for autumn when Canada was "closed" (2 of 2)…read more - - - - - You may not know Thorncrown Chapel by its name, but you've most likely seen photos of it. It's a major example of "less is more" and "good things come in small packages." Thorncrown Chapel is a latticed timber structure - a nondenominational chapel that is Christian in its inspiration - sitting in the hilly, wooded terrain just outside of bohemian Eureka Springs, Arkansas. You will have to look for its small roadway from the highway to visit it. To say that it might resemble a popsicle stick model would be reductionist, but there is this affect in the way it looks. The difference is that the chapel is all about carefully selected, shaped, and connected wood members that make it a significant place in the world of American architecture. It was designed by the states's native son E. Fay Jones. He was the recipient of numerous awards, as is Thorncrown Chapel. The chapel is enclosed in glass. This brings in and keeps out the surroundings and elements, respectively. Sitting in here is a very serene experience. One could worship if they want - its scheme is a Christian one - or could just savor the silence. However, there is soothing instrumental music playing in the background that could intersect with today's new age variety. I thought that was humorous. They do not charge an entrance fee. They didn't when I visited. However, they do ask for donations and, if you visited, you should make a donation. There was a person on hand to answer questions. There might be events here, causing the chapel to open and close for short periods. One typical event might be a wedding. Closer to the entrance and away from the chapel is an office that tends to such affairs. Whether to visit Thorncrown Chapel garners the answer, "It depends." It is at the northwestern border of the state, just outside of Eureka Springs and below the Missouri border. However, it is far from Little Rock and Hot Springs, though not absurdly far from Fayetteville, home of the University of Arkansas. You will inevitably combine your visit with a visit to Eureka Springs. Eureka Springs is an artsy community shoehorned into a hilly mountain town that has restaurants, coffeehouses, gift shops, and the like ... and most likely garden variety stoners who work at these places. Think Nevada City, CA, Sedona, AZ, Galena, IL, Saratoga Springs, NY, and similar granolafied towns thrown into the middle of rural (and more conservative) America. I got derailed discussing Eureka Springs and its hippie vibe. If, to you, the distance is reasonable and doable, do visit Thorncrown Chapel. It's an interesting and unique mix of contextual, transparent, simple, and yet complex.

I'm not the best at writing reviews, but I can say that the folks at Country Caboose Wedding Chapel…read moreare warm and friendly and that they have designed a nice little venue for weddings.

I had my wedding here 10/14/2017 and it was the most magical day of my life. Everything was…read moreperfect! Cathy, the owner, is very easy to work with. She has chairs, tables & linens to rent as well as some miscellaneous decor (candelabras, photo booth signs, etc.). The chapel is where the ceremony takes place. This is the original church that was built back in the 1800s and was restored in 2013 and 2014. Cathy did an incredible job with this restoration, as the pews and floors are original to the church. The reception hall is a decent size for an medium wedding. We had about 65 people and 8 round tables and we filled the room (granted some tables were empty in the back). The chandeliers were beautiful in the reception hall. The bridal suite was where I spent most of my morning with my bridesmaids and mom. It was perfect. There is a window AC unit which came in handy because it was 90 degrees on my wedding day in OCTOBER! There is an adjoining bathroom several large mirrors to use when getting ready. The groom's room was smaller and had a locking closet which was nice. The lighting in their room was pretty dark, but it only takes a little while to put tuxes on. Overall, I would recommend this venue to anyone. If I had to change one thing, it would be to make things a little easier for those in wheelchairs. The venue is technically wheelchair accessible but there were 3 or 4 locations in the venue my father had a very difficult time maneuvering because the lip of the floor would go up 2 inches or so. It was difficult to get his wheelchair over those humps. My wedding day was magical and the venue had a lot to do with that!

My wife really enjoyed the hot tub along with the peace and quiet that comes from being in a treehouse away from the road and behind some of their cottages. I would certainly recommend the treehouses if I heard someone was looking for somewhere unique to stay in Eureka Springs.

We contacted the phone number on the main building and instead of being apologetic she was snippy with us as if we were the problem. It is now 3:08, we are sitting outside our room in the sun (on a motorcycle with lots of luggage), and are told it won't be for another 45 minutes. No apology, just refunded a cleaning fee of $20 measly bucks...Gee, thanks. I would rather you have been nice about the mistake or better yet have had the room cleaned to begin with. I don't recommend this place whatsoever and will never stay here again. Update: Cleaning kids came around 3:20 (so we got our room around 3:45). They were apologetic and very nice. I really wanted to give another star for this because they at least tried (they made a swan out towels lol) harder than the other staff. BUT when we returned to our room after dinner we came back to a kitchen counter of ants. I really expected more out of this place based on the reviews. Disappointed, to say the least.
