The rates at pretty high for what you get. The pool is a small concrete pit. The rooms are halfway remodeled, so the bathroom is straight out of the 70s. We found hair in the shower, found a ladybug on the pillow as soon as we checked in. A bug in the bathroom. I get it’s Arkansas in the summer, but come on. The stairs and deck are shoddy. For $200 a night it’s just not worth it! There are cheaper places to stay that are nicer. The only perk is there is a great restaurant/bar next door with live music.

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 .

Very quirky, cool, old style motel...very Eureka Springs. The staff was great, the bar was fun and had great food. The rooms would be much better if they didn't have carpet in them, it made the rooms a little musty Overall I would stay there again.

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.

Charming Stay with a Few Quirks Our stay at Wanderoo Lodge in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, was pleasant overall, with a few things to note. Upon booking, management informed us of a $100 amenities hold placed on our credit card, refunded after our stay. While we had no issues, this could surprise guests unfamiliar with the process, especially those using bank cards. The lodge is in a quiet, convenient location just off the main road. Parking was a bit tricky due to hills and uneven surfaces, but manageable. The room was clean, updated, and comfortable with a soft pillow-top bed, functioning air conditioning, and a walk-in shower. However, water pressure was low—likely common in the area—and the only mirror was in the restroom, which might be inconvenient for some guests. Limited electrical outlets mean you may want to bring an extension cord. A shared back porch offered a lovely wooded view, and while we didn’t use the swimming pool due to the season, it appeared clean and well-kept. The lodge operates like a motel, with parking directly outside your room. Door locks are key-fob operated, auto-locking after a few moments—be cautious not to lock the key inside as there’s a fee for unlocking. Numerous instructional signs throughout the room felt a bit excessive. The front desk staff were kind and helpful. Overall, Wanderoo Lodge is a comfortable retreat with a few quirks to consider, ideal for a peaceful stay in Eureka Springs.
