27/100 - 2018 Yelp Review Challenge This place was so serene. Being from Kentucky, we go to Gatlinburg for a quick get away. This little cabin reminded me so much of home. I loved everything from the views, down to the decor of the cabin. I got to watch deer graze on grass overlooking a gorgeous lake, while swinging on the balcony reading a book and drinking a glass of wine at 12pm. The birds are always chirping and the cicadas are calling, its just beautiful here. Bob is the owner, and he is probably one of the nicest people I've met. There are also three dogs on the property whom are all so sweet, kid friendly, and love attention. This place was clean, and to my surprise there were no bugs in the cabin! Lol that's just one thing I always assume to find when you're in a woods-y area like this. Theres always bound to be one lone spider hiding in the corner of your room/shower. Everything you needed to live was already in your cabin. Magazines, pots/pans, SPICES; and just like salt and pepper there was garlic salt and garlic powder, cinnamon, Cavenders (idk how to spell it), etc. That's a huge plus to me! There was also, coffee, and all sorts of teas, hot chocolate. This place was just all around, amazing! I would have loved to stay longer. read more

For the weekend of 7-17-15 to 7-19-15 our family rented two cabins and two rooms for our wedding. They were all fully stocked and complete with refrigerators, stoves, microwaves, and coffee pots. The cabins (not sure about rooms but I would be shocked if they didn't) had spices, condiments, coffee, oils, etc. we were provided with an iron and ironing board for last minute ironing. Everything was clean and perfect. The beds and even the pull outs were comfortable! The cleaning crew was also very helpful and friendly! That's the 'normal' stuff I look for in reviews. I wanted you to have that before I tell you the best parts. Upon arriving we met with Bob and discussed some last minute wedding stuff, I trusted a man that I had never met to take care of my wedding, flowers, and cake. Because we rarely get family time, we decided to keep our crew at the cabins and take care of our own meals, but we were welcome to use the bar/seating area in the back. Bob was very welcoming and down to earth. He is so genuine in his efforts that even if he HAD messed up it would have been excusable due to his wonderful demeanor. He didn't though, I wanted a wildflower bouquet and he delivered admirably! I was so impressed I have them hanging to dry at home currently. The cake he had delivered was small and adorable, perfect for us! The ceremony he performed was the perfect length and completely beautiful. I am using the entire ceremony word for word in the wedding album. It is beautiful and meaningful and perfect! I could honestly keep bragging because this place, it's owner and staff are worth it. If you are looking for a quiet out of the way place with breathtaking views for your small intimate wedding, a quiet place to kick back and relax for the weekend and mingle with others doing the same, or just a romantic getaway then this is where you want to be! read more

We got married on the wrap around porch of docs deer lodge over looking mountain an lake. It's been 10 years an still an amazing memory it was so beautiful there in November. Thank you! read more

Reasons why Roadrunner Inn's log cabins are the best to rent at Beaver Lake: 1) There are lake views from the front porch and back deck of the cabins - spectacular! 2) You can rent the up and downstairs of the cabin for your whole family! 3) Bob's prices are more reasonable than other cabins around that aren't nearly as cute! 4) There are reasonably priced rooms at the inn next door if you need a place for even more family! 5) There is wireless and Direct TV!!! read more

We stopped here on our way to the left coast for unfortunately just one night. The Roadrunner Inn and Bob, the owner, are simply, the BEST. The property is absolutely stunning with beautiful views of the lake outside every window. Bob joined us for a drink in the tiki bar in the back and we had a delightful conversation. I hope to make the time to come back to this great place even with our crazy busy life, The Roadrunner Inn, is the place to relax and unwind. Thank you Bob for being the best host ever!

My recommendation to just getaway and enjoy the views, wildlife, nature, accommodations and hospitality. Several options to consider for your stay. There are rooms at the Inn as well as cabins. Recently a beautiful lake house to accommodate larger groups has been added that includes a hot tub and screened porches. They can accomdate single persons, couples, families, and groups for all kinds of stays; even weddings and parties. read more

We've been coming to the Roadrunner Inn for the past 22 years with a group of 5-6 couples. While it's always been a handy place to stay (we used to rent a barge at Starkey's Marina) in times past, it's only been since Bob has been the proprietor that it's turned into the great place it is today. Bob is the best host/inn keeper you could ask for. He knows where all the best places are to eat in nearby Eureka Springs and can be counted upon to insure your stay is a memorable one. From the daily swarms of hummingbirds at his bird feeders to the friendliest canines in Arkansas, you might find a fancier place to stay, but I guarantee you won't find a better place to stay. read more

This was our 3rd trip to the cabins at the Roadrunner and we still absolutely love it! Once again, Bob is an accommodating and gracious host. If there's anything you need, Bob is your man. As in the past, Docs Deer Lodge was clean, well appointed and incredibly comfy. Since it was just the two of us, we did not use the lower section of the cabin (but I've included pics of it). The main floor is more than enough room for two people, but if you have a larger group or are taking kids, you may want to rent the lower level as well (full bath, king size bed, sleeper sofa, TV, microwave and small fridge). The Roadrunner is about a 5 minute drive from the swimming beach at Beaver Lake and Starkey Marina. Just can't say enough nice things about the cabins and Bob! There's no better place to enjoy the peace and quiet and relax for a few days! read more

As we arrived at The Roadrunner Inn, the owner's dog greeted us and then proceeded to get Bob (the owner) for us to check in. It was the perfect start to our very relaxing overnight stay. We stayed in one of the cabins with an incredible view of Beaver Lake. Upon entering the cabin, we quickly noticed the incredible attention to detail in the cabin. Everything was just perfect. We were impressed with the thoughtful touches that Bob has added. The TV and DVD player were very easy to operate and Bob even had a basket of DVDs to borrow. The view of the lake was breathtaking (our first time in the Ozarks) and the surrounding grass areas added to our relaxation. Bob was incredibly kind and gave us many tips for dining in Eureka Springs. And...if you love dogs, Bob has 3 beautiful friendly dogs that keep an eye on the place. Thanks Bob and dogs for a wonderful stay! read more

Bob is the greatest! Stopped in Rogers, AR. From our motorcycle ride at the HD dealer looked at yelp and called. He and his place are awesome. I have never seen so many hummingbirds before. read more

My grandparents have been coming down here for close to 40 years and always stayed at the Roadrunner, we recently came down for a family gathering and celebration and the current owner has done an absolutely wonderful job on this place. The cabins on the property are so comfortable and relaxing and beautifully decorated. We were not just another room number here and we cant wait to return. read more

I cannot say enough about this great place! My boyfriend and I recently visited the Roadrunner and were in awe of the majestic lake views provided on each side of the property. Our room was very spacious, the bed was super comfy, and the kitchenette came in handy as we were preparing food for our hiking trips for the day. It was a short 20 minute drive into Eureka Springs and even closer to some awesome attractions (Thorncrown Chapel, Lake Leatherwood Trails, Beaver Dam, Starkey Marina, etc.). But the cherry on top of this trip was our incredibly accommodating host, Bob, who pulled out all the stops to make our stay comfortable and out-right fun. Can't wait to return! read more

Just got back from a relaxing weekend getaway. If anybody is looking for a great getaway place- check this place at. Eureka Springs is a cool little town in Arkansas. It has something for everybody- outdoor adventure, shopping, art, dining, and relaxation. What I love best about visiting Eureka though is staying at the Roadrunner Inn at Beaver Lake View Resort​. This place is awesome. It is located about 10 miles outside of town so you get a relaxing spot to hang out that has gorgeous views of Beaver Lake. This place has 2 sleeping options. You can stay at one of the two luxury log cabins or at the Inn which has 11 rooms (I think). The Inn has some pet friendly rooms available as well. The best part of staying here is the atmosphere. Most of the guests hang out together in the covered patio bar area in the back which is referred to as Señor Beaver Bar & Grill. Bob, the owner, relaxes in the back with his guests. His is not only super friendly but also hilarious. His four very friendly and well behaved dogs wander around the property entertaining the guests. It is not unusual for guests to end up grilling and sharing a meal together. We have been 3 times in the past year and are already planning our next trip this fall. So go check it out! read more

Just looking for a clean place with a view & we were pleasantly surprised with all the extras! We cooked breakfast in the the very well stocked kitchenette of one of the newly renovated rooms & ate overlooking the beautiful view! Visited with Bob & all the critters. Very relaxing! Felt like we were staying with friends! Highly recommend! read more

I haven't been here since 2008, but the motel's been refurbished and two new log cabins have been added. I didn't stay in the log cabin, but one of their regular rooms, and was not disappointed. Since I was here last, Direct TV and free WIFI has been added, and the rooms have been remodeled to include a back porch on the lower level which is a great place to watch the sun go down on the lake. The beds are comfortable, the small kitchenette is handy, and the motel is located just a few miles from Stuckey marina where the swimming beach is rocky, but beautiful and free. Being just 10 miles from Eureka Springs allowed us the option of going into town to dine. These are just some of the perks of this place, but the number one perk is the incredible view of the lake from both the front and back windows of the rooms. The owner, Bob, is very friendly and goes out of his way to make your stay as good as can be. I highly recommend this place and will be back again. read more
