Next time you're in the area check out Eureka Springs and stay with us at Eagles Nest Manor.<br />Greetings from high atop Cypress Point at The Eagles Nest Manor! Our views are simply amazing and our accommodations are equaled by few. Luxury is recognized from the time you arrive in the driveway, all the way through the house to the simplest bedroom. Eagles Nest Manor, is a luxury vacation home that will accommodate 14 people comfortably, and up to 18 by using the hide-a-bed couches and love seats! With an upstairs living-sitting room and a downstairs den and two levels of huge decks, there is ample room to spread out and enjoy your own space or gather in the huge dining room, living room and open kitchen for family time and fellowship. The house is located 10 minutes from downtown Eureka Springs and only an hour from Branson, Missouri. It's a 5 minute drive to the marina on Table Rock Lake and less than that to the 18 hole golf course. All located at Holiday Island, a resort retirement community just north of Eureka Springs.<br />Check us out at www.hoteleurekasprings.netMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07431815902758485712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-72799527139277744232012-08-15T20:00:25.655-05:002012-08-15T20:00:25.655-05:00I am sorry for the people of the area with that dr...I am sorry for the people of the area with that drought.

How did you do it. We need to know the secret or more like the hard task. Your trip looks like you made the most of it even though it was hot and dry. It sounds like our states got confused this year. We usually have hot and dry but we've had cold and wet this year. However, the temps are going up this week and giving us a taste of spring and it has stopped raining for 3 weeks now.diane bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002292118984909883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-54163882120984040222012-08-14T22:13:44.751-05:002012-08-14T22:13:44.751-05:00Wow, Betsy thsi looks like such a wonderful birthd...Wow, Betsy thsi looks like such a wonderful birthday celebration!

Still you took some lovely photos, of the waterfall, the historic hotel and the the old homestead....and much more.
