Nice area. Every other year we have our ATLA convention in Eureka Springs and my wife and I had part of our honeymoon in cabins there years ago. Many people get married there at wedding chapels. It gets to be a bustling place more so in the summer. It really is a unique place--some call it the Little Switzerland of America. There was discussion of legalizing marijuana per ordinance in Eureka but I don't know where that ended up--you do have a little bit different culture in Eureka, not bad just a bit more artsy or hippie perhaps, but not so in Holiday Island that I can see anyway.

Nearby Holiday Island has golf, the lake and some nice homes. It has a gathering place called the Barn and I've been to events there before such as political events. It is a good place to visit and good place to take family--personally I don't know that I would want to live there unless I was retired though. Nearby Beaver is kind of a neat community too--it is on the river and has what they call the Little Golden Gate Bridge that is a one lane suspension type bridge.
