The Eureka Springs Treehouses, Castles, Caves and Hobbit Holes

Check it out here!

Eureka Springs is filled with unique hotel options, but none quite like the Eureka Springs Treehouses, Castles, Caves and Hobbit Holes. They take hospitality to a whole other level.

Located on the outskirts of the city, Eureka Springs TCCHH is everything the name promises. ‘Rooms’ are located on a lot scattered with petite castles and tree houses elevated amongst the trees as well as rustic caves and hobbit holes on the ground. Each ‘room’ is uniquely decorated with a corresponding theme. The décor of the treehouses feature different nature elements as do the caves, hobbit holes are more whimsical.

The castles are each unique as well. While I booked a week-long stay in a castle decorated with lions, I managed to sweet-talk my way into peeking around the gargoyle one. It’s probably just as well I didn’t stay there. One of those gargoyles might have followed me home!

But the TCCHH focuses on its take-aways too. A hospitality package was included with the ‘room’ so my husband and I arrived to find a welcome basket with snacks and champagne flutes. A bottle of bubbly was chilling in the refrigerator, along with a cake. Past a secret door and up a flight of stairs where the jacuzzi tub was located, I found another basket with bath supplies. Very nice touch.

The ‘rooms’ are outfitted with a king-sized bed, full kitchen, living room area and a roomy bathroom, making it an ideal location for an extended stay or weekend getaway. After check-in, we picked up some groceries on our first jaunt through town and saved money by cooking many of our meals. The kitchen had everything we needed to make this easy.

The walk-in shower was also very impressive. Fashionably rocked and plumbed with multiple jets, it was an experience in itself. My husband and I took advantage of its size to shower together, and had plenty of space for more.

Not that we are into that kind of thing.

While located in town proper, TCCHH still feels very remote. The grounds are immersed in trees and wildlife. A little cardinal tapped at the back window of the ‘room’ overlooking a wooded revenue every morning shortly after dawn. And while at first our little feathered alarm clock was peculiar and admittedly a little annoying, we warmed up to him.  A pair of fawns and a doe often wandered by as well and seemed perfectly content with letting us observe them from the balcony.

In spite of the number of ‘rooms’ in close proximity of each other, the grounds were very quiet and private. The only time we were ever reminded of other guests was when we encountered them in the parking lot. The same can be said for the staff. We opted for contact-free service so we dropped the laundry and trash outside the door every morning and it was taken away and replaced soon after.   

That isolation does come at a price in more ways than one. Visitors have to be prepared to travel if they wish to visit many of the town’s other attractions and finding and paying for parking downtown can be a challenge. But unless you are ready for the all-terrain hike, you will probably end up doing this at some point anyway. TCCHH is also on the pricier side of hotels in town, but considering its many amenities isn’t too excessive. Plus, if you are looking for a truly unique and memorable experience, it’s definitely worth it.

Seriously, if they don’t have an option that suits you, we can’t be friends. Stick with Super 8.

My advice: while it’s probably a bit over-the-top for an overnight stay, book your next weekend with them.
