We really enjoyed our stay at Sparky's Guest House. It's by no means perfect or luxurious, but it…read moreis spacious and charming. We were in Eureka Springs for a family wedding, which meant we needed lots of space. My Aunt and Uncle have been coming here for nearly 30 years and typically stay in the "Texaco Garage" space that sits right next door. Since this spot holds up to 11 - and could easily accommodate more, it was perfect. The decor is very eclectic, and also very comfortable. Because it's quite old - probably built in the 20's - there are creaks and squeaks, and an overall dusty smell due to all of the nick naks, rugs, and vintage furniture. It very much has the feel of a lake or beach house - without the close proximity to water. Overall, it is a solid 4 stars for sheer space and proximity to all the amazing things Eureka Springs has to offer. In combination with the space next door, it would be perfect for a family reunion or big group weekend escape. As the 2 rental spaces share a common back yard and parking space, it would be great for BBQ's or family cookouts. It may not be for everyone, but if you have a large group and are looking for good space at a reasonable price, this may be to spot for you!

The house could be so great, but it was so dirty and neglected. There was water damage that was large and very visible. Large holes in closets. Lots of live spiders upstairs. Dead bugs under the sink in the bathrooms. This is just a sample of the issues. I was honestly embarrassed that I chose this place. Two of the rooms upstairs weren't even used because they were afraid of the bugs and the one light fixture was so dirty. I had to stay upstairs in one of the rooms with my husband and three year old. It wasn't a pleasant experience and my son ended up with a bite on his cheek one morning. I hope they fix this great house up. In the meantime I would find some place else to stay unless you like dirt and bugs. :)

First things first....call dibs on the master bedroom!! We had the OTHER main floor bedroom, and it was the smallest of the ones we saw, plus only a shower. The master is huge, with a huge bathroom and jetted (and huge) tub. There are TVs in every living space and bedroom (there are 5 bedrooms, I think). The cable stations are a bit out of whack, but that's the area, not the house. The home was decorated very tastefully. The bed was fairly firm, but that's better than being too soft. The home was very clean, and had some decent views, although with the new construction nearby, some of the area's grounds were a bit torn up and unsightly. It wasn't far to the lake, and I wouldn't consider it being ON the lake. The clubhouse was fabulous as well. I could list all the amenities, but they are all listed quite accurately on their website. DO bring your own shampoo and soap of course. There was a small sample of some wonderful shampoo, but barely enough for me, let alone anyone else. The prices are VERY reasonable; you can't stay in an upscale hotel for the price you get the house!! It was fairly simple to find, despite arriving just before dusk and the sun in my eyes the whole time. Just make sure you don't stay on 265 when given the option...go to Highway P a few feet past that turn.

The home is just minutes from Branson, which worked out great to accommodate for nap times. When we weren't out on the Branson Landing, or visiting hot spots in Branson, we could relax in the spacious home nestled in a wooded area near the lake. The house was very clean and had everything we needed to cook a meal and just relax. When our son went to sleep, my wife and I played pool, watched TV or just enjoyed the calm on the back deck. We found great restaurants in Hollister where we could avoid some the hustle and bustle of Branson. We had the best night of sleep in a long time on the comfortable beds. I will recommend this vacation home to anyone visiting Branson. The house has five bedrooms and we will visit again with family and friends.

A few things were showing their age (broken tupperware, older carpet), but we had a great time and would go back. Pros: * Views! Beautiful relaxing environment. * DVD/Blu-Ray lending library at office for kids movie nights. * Proximity to dock and ease of having rental canoes ready. Cons (all of which were expected, hence still 5 stars): * Shoddy wifi. * Older carpeting. * Spiders/bugs on the porch and such (its a cabin!) * Hike down to the dock is pretty steep and not very improved at places/

Fortunately we had 3 girls staying there and it quickly took me back to a childhood I could have had if I grew up in the 1950's. Breakfast was delightful out in the little patio. She offered several ideas of places we needed to visit before we left. NOTE: she highly emphasized paying cash when we were checking out. So this will be an issue if you do not have that with you. I foresee her making you feel bad for her paying additional fees to offer a convenience to you.

My husband, who works with computers, likes to be connected to the internet and when it was spotty for us, Roger helped us fix it.
