We really enjoyed our stay at Sparky's Guest House. It's by no means perfect or luxurious, but it is spacious and charming. We were in Eureka Springs for a family wedding, which meant we needed lots of space. My Aunt and Uncle have been coming here for nearly 30 years and typically stay in the "Texaco Garage" space that sits right next door. Since this spot holds up to 11 - and could easily accommodate more, it was perfect.
The decor is very eclectic, and also very comfortable. Because it's quite old - probably built in the 20's - there are creaks and squeaks, and an overall dusty smell due to all of the nick naks, rugs, and vintage furniture. It very much has the feel of a lake or beach house - without the close proximity to water.
Overall, it is a solid 4 stars for sheer space and proximity to all the amazing things Eureka Springs has to offer. In combination with the space next door, it would be perfect for a family reunion or big group weekend escape. As the 2 rental spaces share a common back yard and parking space, it would be great for BBQ's or family cookouts.
It may not be for everyone, but if you have a large group and are looking for good space at a reasonable price, this may be to spot for you! read more
