DOWN ON MAIN - a charming historic apartment in the heart of Eureka Springs

THIS BOOKING IS FOR THE ENTIRE LOWER FLOOR OF THE BUILDING - You’ll have the entire floor to yourself. Upstairs is a separate rental unit called UP ON MAIN (its vrbo listing number is 3016393)

This beautifully unique space is the (completely private) lower floor of a very grand old building right in the vibrant heart of Eureka Springs. Originally opened in 1885 as Harp’s Grocery, the building has long been a fixture in the coolest, most distinctive historic town in the Ozarks. Now updated with modern amenities, you’ll find it to be an absolute haven where your crew can relax and have a blast together. World class dining, galleries, shopping and more are all within easy walking distance; it’s just a block or two to many of the very best attractions of Eureka Springs.

Bedroom one has a queen size bed and a large flatscreen TV with an expansive cable package.

The kitchenette has a sink, a small fridge, a coffee maker, a toaster oven, a microwave, a single electric burner, plenty of plates/bowls/utensils/flatware and a large dining table.

Bedroom two has a full size bed, a flatscreen TV with DVD player and a widely varied collection of around 50 DVDs, plus a ridiculously large selection of books, board games, puzzles, etc. Bedroom two is divided from the living room area in the front of the property with a large wall of blackout curtains.

The bathroom has a shower, toilet, and sink. Please be advised that the bathroom is directly off of bedroom two, so guests sleeping in bedroom one will have to pass through to get to the bathroom.

In the living area, you’ll find a very cool double sided couch and a flatscreen TV with a Nintendo 64 hooked up with four controllers for maximum multiplayer fun. We have three games for you here: Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, and Goldeneye 64. It’s vintage Nintendo at its best!!! There’s also an acoustic guitar on the wall near the front door if you’re feeling musical.


Important info to know about your stay:

- Down on Main does not have any designated parking spots! However there’s low cost, easily accessible paid parking lots less than a block away in each direction on Main Street.

- Yes we have WIFI.

- Pets are allowed! Please just bring your own dedicated doggy blanket if your furry friend will be on the furniture. You are of course responsible for any damages incurred.

- You will receive a code to open the key box on the handle of the front door (63 North Main Street). When you check out, it is your responsibility to return the key to this box and leave the door locked. If you lose the key, you will be charged.

- Upstairs is a completely separate unit called Up on Main which is also available to rent through VRBO. However, EACH side of the stairway door locks, so ONLY you will have control if you want to unlock it. When you arrive, it’ll be locked from both sides. Both the upstairs AND the downstairs tenants will have to unlock the door from their own side if they want to open passage between the units.

- Please be aware: we will enforce our rule of maximum number of occupants. We do have security cameras on the outside of the building, and if you try to have a big crazy party in our building, you will be shut down! Jackson street (which runs along the back side of the property) has private residences where locals live and it is imperative to us that our guests respect the fact that they have families and jobs. We want you to come have fun, but PLEASE do so in a manner that doesn’t impose on anyone else.

- Pro Tip: midweek dates are generally offered at a discounted rate.

- As with all vacation rental properties, guests acknowledge that activity on the property carries with it the potential for injury due to unfamiliar terrain and layout. The topography in the area has frequent changes in elevation requiring steps and walkways that conform to the landscape, therefore, please use caution and familiarize yourself with all areas of the property. We keep the property maintained, although, all liability is waived and you are accepting the property with no assurances. Emergencies are very rare, yet, it is smart to be prepared for inclement weather, natural disaster, or injury when traveling.

- Cancellation policy: Travelers who cancel at least 30 days before check-in will get back 100% of the amount they've paid. If they cancel between 14 and 30 days before check-in, they'll get back 50%. Otherwise, they won't get a refund. Please plan accordingly. Please take precautions against COVID prior to travel.

- Please read this entire listing before booking. It is essential that you read the details to ensure that this property will meet your expectations. Please make sure the amenities that you expect are listed.

Perfect location!

The location of this property was absolutely perfect to walk to everything downtown. We also loved that we could bring our dog. For two adults and a teen, the sleeping accommodations were adequate. There’s plenty of room for more and bigger beds, though, which would be nice and needed if you had more people. The toilet, sinks, and bedding were clean.

Loved the old building. It dates back to 1885 and was a Harps grocery store back in the day. I would stay there again and would highly recommend it to others, especially if you’re looking for something unique with history.

Great location

It was a really cool apartment that was extremely close to the main Eureka Springs hub. We stayed for just a few days but each day, it was super easy to walk into the main area, shop, go back, take a break, and then go back out again a few times during the day. The actual place is very spacious, clean, and had a lot of room. We played a bit of Mario Kart on the N64, used the fridge for a lot of the food we got in town, and relaxed a lot as well. Very nice place to be in and would love to go back again!

Looks Better in the Pictures

The pictures made this place look really cool, but it had ants and sticky glue trap mouse traps around the place. Games had no pieces. Door didn't stay closed unless key locked. NO AMENITIES AT ALL. There's one double sided couch for seating which isn't condusive for conversation. Loose floorboards would pop up and nails would catch on your shoes. I am all for rustic but this place looked cooler than it was.

Lots of character, great location!

Loved the place, and it was within walking distance to tons of shops and restaurants. The apartment was charming and lots of open space. Plenty of privacy, but no parking space included. We never had trouble finding paid parking but could be challenging when Main Street a little busier. Overall, great experience!

Charming Unit, Excellent Location, Exceptional Hosts

My daughter and I stayed here over Memorial weekend and had an amazing time. I cant quite put into words how much we loved this place. It smells like history and books. There is an entire wall of so many different books - I wish I could stay for a year to relax and read them all! They also have dvds, video games, puzzles, and board games. The beds are comfy, everything was very clean, and the location is close to everything. Matt and Samantha are exceptional hosts and respond to messages within minutes. We would definitely stay here again.
