Cliff Cottage Inn Bed & Breakfast, built in the 1880s and now lovingly restored and refurbished, is a magical place in Victorian Eureka Springs and for over a year, has been named the #1 most popular bed & breakfast in Eureka by TripAdvisor.Com based on guests reviews who have all given the inn the five-star highest rating. The inn is up on one of those famous Arkansas rock ledges, away from noise or traffic, with off-street parking for all the guests....yet, just 17 steps back down to Main Street and all the shops, galleries and restaurants. The main trolley is at the bottom of the steps in case you want to take a little tour of town.

In its splendid downtown setting, the inn has three houses side by side, each with two private entrance suites: Cliff Cottage, a State and National Historic landmark built in 1880 and the most photographed house downtown, with two king Jacuzzi suites; The Place Next Door, a Victorian replica with two queen Jacuzzi suites, and The Artist's Cottage, a 1910 arts & craftsman cottage with two king Jacuzzi suites. The inn also has two individual historic cottages with private hot tubs and fully-equipped kitchens, both just a short walk from the main inn - Oscar Wilde's Cottage, a.1920 art-deco cottage and Zelda's Studio, a 1910 artist's studio.

Whether you're staying at CLIFF COTTAGE INN one night or a week, we can offer you fun things to do for the length of your visit, as optional extras. The innkeeper will gladly reserve seats for you at the Passion Play or Hoedown or arrange horseback riding, canoe trips down the White River, carriage rides, golf tee times, or a side trip to Branson (it's only 47 miles away...lots of the inn's guests run over there for the day).

We look forward to your visit!

The absolutely best part of our recent trip to Eureka Springs was our stay at The Cliff Cottages in Collette’s Mini-suite! The proprietress provided detailed advance information so that we had no difficulty arriving at our destination! (Which is a challenge in this hilly and venerable Victorian village!) The attention she and her “elf” gave to our accommodations made us feel quite comfortably “at home” - with a luxurious French twist! Little touches like, being welcomed by the sound of twittering birds, wine in the ‘fridge, romantic double Jacuzzi in the corner, books by and about Collette, wide selection of videos to choose from (and the one we selected “just happened” to go with the room perfectly)! Conversations with our host and hostess upon our arrival and departure were enthralling‼! Plus they are both as warmly interested in listening to their guests stories as they are in sharing their own! And then there were the breakfasts‼‼ Oh, my‼! Words cannot do justice! We had ours, served by the elf, outside on our own private tiny deck, sheltered from the sun and fanned by a cooling draft under the cliff wall backing The Place Next Door! I do recommend purchasing A Cook’s Book of Epicuria as a memento of your stay! Sandra’s adventures will amaze you, and her recipes are delightful!

Awesome B&B! Right from the start before we even got there, Sandra (the proprietor) showed caring detail in how to get there, where to go etc. Once we got there, we were very happy with the close walking proximity to the town and all it offers. Sandra was very welcoming and very sweet. We stayed in the Alfred Lord Tennyson suite and love it! Very clean, cozy and comfortable. We loved the front and back porch lounging areas and the views it offered, the Jacuzzi and the fun outdoor shower along the bluffs. Great place, amazing character and AMAZING gourmet breakfast delivered to the front door every morning (which we also bought her book and read it on the way home. Has some of the great recipes she cooks in there in addition to great stories about her very interesting life). Highly recommended! Thanks Sandra!!!!! We will be back soon!

We celebrated out 8th wedding anniversary at The Cliff Cottage. It was in a fantastic location but it was all the extras that made it perfect. Sandy and her "elf" had delicious treats waiting for us when we arrived to our room. The "elf" even remembered us on our anniversary with a special treat. We had planned on sleeping late each morning but the breakfasts were sooooo good that we found ourselves getting up early and waiting on our private patio for the elf to deliver breakfast. We have been to many B&Bs but this place stands out and we plan to return many more times. Be sure and ask Sandy for good eateries....she was right on with her recommendations.

Response
We're always tickled when our guests enjoy our breakfasts as we put a lot of love and time into creating the recipes and preparing them for our wonderful guests. The elf especially loves it when he picks up the trays after breakfast and finds the plates "licked clean!" "Yay, they loved it" is the happy chorus coming from the kitchen!

What a pleasure to be Sandra's guests. Sanda's rooms were comfortable and inspiring for a long weekend getaway. Her breakfast was superb every morning and she offered many great insights to enjoy Eureka Springs beyond the typical tourist experience. I especially loved the stacks of books relevant to our room's theme. I highly recommend Cliff Cottage Inn.

Response
What fun to see one of our guests had read thru some of the books we put in our suites. All our suites are named to honor writers and we put as many books as we can find by the author in the suite. Many books by Colette I purchased at Shakespeare & Co. in Paris; books about Sarah Bernhardt were purchased there as well. Many books featuring poetry by Alfred, Lord Tennyson I purchased in London. I was amazed to find a lot of books written by Robt. Louis Stevenson that I wasn't even aware of! We have about a dozen books of poetry by Emily Dickinson in her suite. I've often seen guests sitting on their private deck reciting her poetry aloud to each other...what fun, eh? PS This guest actually stayed 5/14/2011 not 2010 and he and his lovely wife stayed 2 nites. They were both absolutely delightful!

My husband and I had never stayed in a B&B before. When we visited his parents in Russellville Arkansas we choose to spend one day and night in Eureka Springs seeing the sites with his parents. We tried contacting several B&Bs in Eureka before we reached Sandra, many innkeepers were unavailable due to it being the off-peak season. We were about to finally give up out of frustration and stay in a hotel(like we ALWAYS do) until we reached Sandra. Sandra was a true delight! Her Cliff Cottage Inn was wonderful, every detail was attended to with meticulous care. The Colette suite we stayed in was magnificent, with a lovely view of the Local Flavor and main street. This was definitely one of those once in a life time experiences for us. We feel that all other B&Bs we stay in in the future now have the bar-raised because of how magnificent our stay was at Sandra's B&B. My spirit was revitalized at Sandra's Cliff Cottage in a way that I simply can't explain, you'd have to visit it to understand. The only thing that surpassed our initial experience(s) at her B&B was the breakfast she and Carl provided. I'm very glad that our first B&B experience was at Sandra's Cliff Cottage Inn.

My wife and I love to stay at elegant inns and Cliff Cottage Inn was far and away the best we have been to. The atmosphere is full of Victorian charm. The two-room suite (with a big front porch) we stayed in (Robert Louis Stevenson) is beautifully decorated with antiques and memorabilia about Stevenson, the famed author of Treasure Island. Upon arrival, we were delighted to find a lovely bottle of white wine chilled and waiting for us in our in-suite frig. We also discovered that Cliff Cottage Inn's suites were far more private than others we had stayed in. Best of all, we didn't have to get up and dress for breakfast with a bunch of strangers - the Cliff Cottage elf delivered a full gourmet breakfast each morning right to our door, on a silver tray, no less! Wonderful food and very classy presentation! When we were ready to venture forth, Cliff Cottage was ideal for exploring Eureka Springs,, because it is the only inn right downtown.It was perfect for exploring the shops and al the Black Friday sales going on that weekend. All the other inns are located on the historic loop, which meant we would have had to drive and find parking each time we wanted to go out. Being at Cliff Cottage, we could roll out of bed and walk a few steps to Main Street and the heart of the historic downtown with all the shops and restaurants right at hand. Privacy, location, and outstanding service - it desn't get better than that for a romantic getaway! We will defintely come back and will tell our friends as well.

Our stay was beyond our expectations...excellent in every way. We have also recommended it to several of our friends who wanted to visit in that region.The breakfast was brought to our own little cottage and was very delicious. We will plan to revisit next year. Bruce Hammermann

On our recent quest for the perfect out-of-the-way cottage, my sister and I found the Cliff Cottage Inn Bed and Breakfast. We stayed in the Tennyson Suite, perched above the quaint town of Eureka Springs, Arkansas. The suite itself was adorable with antiques, artwork, and of course writings of Alfred Lord Tennyson. Sandra, our generous hostess, had so many little delights awaiting us: wine and soft drinks, cookies and candies, bath gels and salts for the jacuzzi. Behind the house were a private deck and an enclosed outdoor shower that seemed to grow out of the bluffs. How could we have happened upon a place so comfortable yet so close to nature?! The gourmet breakfasts brought to our door were almost too beautiful to eat. But we took pictures and then enjoyed the homemade cooking from the front porch. Delicious doesn't begin to describe the experience. Sandra helped us find shopping, music, historic places to visit, and good restaurants, all within walking distance. But now, looking back, the most memorable times were spent at the charming cottage. At times, online pictures and descriptions of getaways have, alas, been "too good to be true". Not this time! This B&B actually surpassed our expectations in every way.

This was our first B&B experience. We stayed in the Sarah Bernhardt Suite and loved every minute of it! The breakfasts were by far the best we've ever had anywhere. Great location, within walking distance to the main strip. The jacuzzi, private back patio, and comfy front porch were also nice extras. We both agree it was a wonderful experience and give it our highest recommendation. We definitely hope to stay there again.
