trip to eureka springs/beryvile Arknsas Any suggestions

[angeliainwonderland]

Hello! My daghter (12) and I are going to go to "bargains galore on 64"This is a 3 day 160 mile bunch of yard sales. Just going to hit short stretch of the sales.
Then we are going to Berryville area(20 miles east of Eureka spings) to see Quigley's castle and the cave.
I would like to get massages or spa treatments for us. Need to figure out where?
Also need CHEAP places to stay for 3-4 nights. I know there have to be some smaller cheaper places but I am searching on web and only the fancier expensive ones (with big ad budget) pop up.
Plus I am interested in other sites to see and things to do.
Any tips or info you have will be greatly appreciated.

If you go to tripadvisor and put in the towns you will be in, the site will give you numerous places for hotels, spas, restaurants and such. Plus there is a forum and you can go there and actually get first hand info from people who live there on where to go and what not to do.

I live in the Bentonville area, and this time of year I'm guessing you're not really going to find anything too inexpensive in Eureka. It's a pretty big tourist area to start with. I've never stayed there there so I'm not 100% sure of what's available, but here is a link to their city website for some ideas:

Eureka Springs, The Extraordinary Escape - All Places to Stay

One suggestion I do have is maybe looking in the Bentonville or Rogers area, its about an hour away, but the hotels might be cheaper, but with gas it might end up being a wash too. Sorry I'm not more help.

Unfortunately, you are coming at the height of tourist season. There's very few cheap places. What I did when I was looking at Eureka for a weekend get-away was to go to the chamber of commerce website and you could have businesses email you their information. I received dozens of emails from places that I could research.

I don't know anything about the area but we always use hotwire to book our hotels. We end up getting them way cheaper than if you book through the hotels themselves. You can also check the criteria you want, ie pool, continental breakfast, business center, ect... Good luck. I would love to do that trip.

Thanks for the help. I am wanting to stay in small towns away from the serious rush of people. Just don't know the small towns in that area.

Ok, I am thinking that we will stay a couple of nights in the bentonville/ rogers area (thank u jesslyn591) Found few resaonable hotels. Now I need to find cheap place to get massages and maybe get our toes done. Anybody know of a good local salon?

There is a Massage Envy on Pleasant Grove Road in Rogers (right off 540)...they aren't too bad price wise...that's the only place I have ever been. There are tons of places to get pedi's on Walton Blvd/Walnut -- It's Walton in B'ville and changes to Walnut when you go under 540 and enter Rogers. I'm going this week to a new place and if it's good I'll let you know where exactly it is. There are some things touristy things to do in the area and lots of good places to eat and shop!

I highly recommend the Seville in Harrison - about 30 mins from Eureka. We live in Harrison and stay there often (reg $79/night but they run lots of deals for $49 and that's when we stock up) for a child-free night. :)

You can swing a good deal at Basin Park in Eureka, too. If you want a bed, you can find the cheap usuals in Rogers, but in Eureka, you'll get atmosphere with the higher rate. Call Basin Park and see what you can get. I know off-season the hubby and I can get a king jacuzzi suite under $100. Call and chat with them - pretty much everything is locally owned. If you're looking to stay multiple nights, you can certainly get something under $100/night. I worked in tourism around here for several years and the best advice I can say is to call and haggle.
