No Need to Leave

I've been vacationing at the Wanderoo Lodge since '21. Between the pool, Gravel Bar and Grill and the fire pit, you really don't need to go anywhere! It's always a fun time at the Wanderoo.

Liked: Staff & service
Room was clean. Bathroom clean. A little musty smell in the room. Big room for sure but carpet needs work replaced or just flooring instead. Would be nice to have a luggage stand and a chest for clothing as we were there 4 nights. Beautiful property! Friendly staff and guests. Had a little issue but owners absolutely went above and took care of us. Thank you!

I enjoyed my 2-night stay here in one of the cabins. The staff in the office and restaurant were very friendly and helpful. The lodge is right off of 62, so it was really convenient to get in and out of, and there's a gas station and convenience store right next door. I ate at the onsite restaurant my first night there and had the pickle pizza, which had house-made pickles. It was sooo good. I highly recommend the lodge and restaurant.

Nice friendly clean place . Restaurant and bar right there which were great . I’d give it 5 stars except the air conditioning in the room rattled and was loud every time it came on . It was a bit pricey but compared to other lodges in the area it was reasonably priced . Really liked it .

The vibe of the motel was unique, funky and welcoming. Felt completely safe with my two children. We arrived right after a bunch of rain and some minor flooding. The manager (owner?) made it right for us and made sure our carpet was clean.

Fun place to stay in Eureka Springs

This is my favorite place to stay in Eureka Springs. The Gravel Bar on site is always fun and the fire pit is the best kind of night cap. Some of the rooms have been renovated but some are the same old rooms that I remember staying in back in the day.
