Best Western Inn of the Ozarks

Eureka Springs, Arkansas

To make reservations, call 1-800-998-9620 and tell them you are in the “Prowler Group”

The host hotel is Inn of the Ozarks, a Best Western Hotel with plenty of parking, including trailers ( http://www.innoftheozarks.com/). It is an older hotel but very clean. It hosts many car and motorcycle groups ever year. A wash area will be provided, including towels to dry vehicles. Parking lot get togethers are permitted. It has a good restaurant on site for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Meals are NOT included in the room rate. It is a 2 story hotel and does NOT have elevators so if you need a first floor room tell them when you book your reservation. If you don't have mobility problems, please tell them a second floor room is fine. We have 60 rooms reserved at this time. If you are thinking about coming, please make your reservation early. You can always cancel. The group rate for a king or two queen standard room is $90 Sun-Wed (weekdays), $126 Thur-Sat (weekends). Animals are permitted for an additional fee. For those with motorhomes, there are RV parks nearby, including Wanderlust RV Park ( http://wanderlustrvpark.com), Kettle Campground ( http://kettlecampground.net), etc.

While the itinerary is still being finalized, the plan is to drive some beautiful roads in and around northwest Arkansas, including the famous Pig Trail. We will have one day to explore Eureka Springs which shares similarities with Gatlinburg. It has an eclectic downtown area, watering holes, a haunted historic hotel, and if you so desire, an opportunity to attend the world famous Great Passion Play, an outdoor theater depicting the last week in the life of Jesus. One day we'll travel to Branson, stop for a paddle wheel cruise boat with lunch and a show, then explore Branson which has a multitude of things to do and see. And one day travel to Bentonville, the home of Sam Walton, and see the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. There should be a lot to see and do in and around northwest Arkansas.
