We stayed at Degay Lodge and it was the most wonderful peaceful experience. This is the first time…read morewe have stayed at the lodge as we are usually camping in the summertime. The staff allowed us to check in early and the room had an INCREDIBLE view of the lake. There is bicycle rentals (some have kid seats) and a nice playground for children on the grounds. The room contained a refrigerator but no microwave. The bed was really comfortable! The buffet breakfast does not come with the room and is an additional $7.99/person. The buffet features fresh fruit, oatmeal, cereal, bagels, pancakes, bacon, sausage, busicits, and scrambled eggs. The food was OK. A sunset boat tour of the lake for $8.50 (for an hour and a half) was one of the activities going on. There are many other activities in the park which we did not participate in. The walking trail around the lodge is lit up so you can enjoy it at night. This lodge is located 22 miles from Hot Springs so we enjoyed our day trips there.

Stopped into Flyway Brewing on a Saturday afternoon and was surprised by how quiet it was. The…read morerestaurant was clean, comfortable, and had the music at exactly the right volume present enough to create atmosphere without making conversation difficult. Nothing felt overwhelming or overdone, which made for a relaxed experience. The service was excellent. Our server was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. Water hit the table in under two minutes, and our beers arrived in less than five. That's the kind of efficiency every restaurant should strive for. Now for the food: * Cheese Curds ($8) - These arrived piping hot and fresh from the fryer. The curds themselves were crispy but fairly bland on their own. The ranch and Mimi's Red Sauce did a lot of the heavy lifting here and elevated the dish significantly. * Queso ($8, plus $2 for chorizo) - Very basic. Not bad, but not memorable either. It tasted like melted Velveeta with a little extra liquid mixed in. Perfectly edible, just lacking any standout flavor. * Pretzel ($6) - Easily one of the highlights of the meal. They accidentally brought us the espresso pretzel first before correcting it with the plain version we ordered. Surprisingly, both were excellent. Soft, fresh, and flavorful. * Smash Burger & Fries ($17) - The fries were fantastic: hot, crispy, fresh, and seasoned perfectly. The burger itself was average--exactly what you'd expect from a mid-range brewery restaurant. Good, but not something I'd specifically come back for. * Chicken Sandwich with Sweet Potato Fries ($15) - The low point of the meal. The sweet potato fries were cold, stale, and honestly should never have left the kitchen. The chicken sandwich wasn't much better. The breading was overcooked to the point of tasting burnt, and there wasn't much flavor beyond that. * Bacon-Wrapped Quail Sliders - Another average offering. Not bad by any means, but nothing that stood out or justified ordering again. The beer is clearly the star of the show here. Flyway knows how to brew, and that's what would bring me back. The food ranges from good to disappointing, with only a few items really standing out. Overall: * Beer: 4/5 * Food: 2/5 * Service: 5/5 Flyway Brewing is worth visiting for the beer, atmosphere, and service. Eat because you're there, not because you're searching for an exceptional meal. If the kitchen can become as consistent as the brewery, this place could be something special.

I heard that the Little Rock High museum was a must see while there so I decided to check it out…read more The museum/visitor center is about a block away from Little Rock High, so it literally took a couple minutes to walk there. I'm not sure if they have a parking lot since u walked there, but it seems like they have plenty of street parking since I saw a lot of people parking on various sides of the museum. The museum itself was really interesting and even though it was small it was very informative and provided ample methods of learning the information, including videos, audio, timelines, and other information.

Visiting the Little Rock Central High National Historic Site was a must for me as I feel it's…read moreimportant to bear witness to history. In 1957, nine Black students integrated Central High. This integration was considered a test of Brown v. Board of Education that found that "separate but equal" was unconstitutional. The National Historic Site consists of the Visitor Center/Museum, Little Rock Central High School (which is still an operating school), the Commemorative Garden, the Magnolia Mobil Station (which served as an impromptu press base), and the Elizabeth Eckford Bus Bench. It is managed by the National Park Service. Admission is free and they allow photos. The museum is small and does not take very long to walk through, though it will take some time if you read all of the panels and watch the videos. They offer guided tours on certain days. If you're doing a self-guided tour, you cannot enter the school. Central High School is very beautiful. The architecture is a blend of Art Deco and Gothic Revival. Climbing the stairs was an extremely heavy feeling that I wasn't prepared for. As I ascended the stairs, I imagined what it would have felt like to walk through angry mobs just to go to school. It was honestly overwhelming and I don't know if I would have been able to endure such hatred and discrimination. I'm grateful to the Little Rock Nine for their courage, perseverance, and resiliance.

Deceptive. Did the Time Share pitch package. Turns out the "free stay" is free except taxes and…read moreresort fees. This is not mentioned anywhere in their paperwork. Add in the $120 package fee I paid up front, and subtract the $50 gift card and it came to $60 a night for a room at a so-so resort. It was a good deal, but not a great deal - especially considering it came with a 2 hour timeshare pitch. The cruise tickets are barely a discount when compared to buying direct from Carnival, and after the omission of the room tax and fees I don't trust VT&T enough to use them. The cruise is limited to a four day cruise to the Caribbean or Bahamas. They do say this in their paperwork but I don't think they mentioned it in the phone sales pitch. That means almost all the departures are from Florida and of course getting to the departure point and back is your cost. I did find the customer service to be responsive and helpful

Once you sign up, good luck ever getting out. It's been over a year for us, and they still won't assist us.

The upstairs rooms have balconies that are shared which seemed a little strange at first but we got to meet the person staying next door and she was pleasant. They check all the boxes for the little things like shower has good water pressure, the AC works and is super quiet, the fridge and coffee maker work perfectly. Yeah it may not be as modern and chic as the big hotel chains but it's still a great place to stay.

This technology (signs) has been around for thousands of years. Get one!
