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


This beautifully unique space is the (completely private) upper 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, a large flatscreen TV with an expansive cable package, and a gorgeous private balcony overlooking Main Street, a truly magical spot to simply sit and chill in the evening when the twinkle lights come on.

Bedroom two has a full size bed with a large flatscreen TV with DVD player and a super rad Nintendo gaming system that plays the original Nintendo NES games as well as Super Nintendo games. We have an awesome selection of vintage games here where you can geek out and get your nostalgia fix. Original Nintendo games include: Super Mario Bros., Super Mario 3, Paperboy 2, and Kirby’s Adventure. Super Nintendo games include: Super Mario World and Legend of Zelda. Each game has its own labeled spot on the shelf - please return them to their places when you check out!

The bathroom is a stunning space with a deep soaking tub/shower combo under a windowed cupola. There’s also a washer and dryer here for your convenience.

In the kitchen you’ll find a full complement of standard appliances and accessories, including a full size fridge, a coffee maker, a gas range/oven, a toaster oven, a microwave, plenty of plates/bowls/utensils/flatware, and a bar with two barstools. The dining area looks down over Leatherwood Creek, a tributary of the White River which now flows both openly and under Main Street in a long tunnel, a mysterious aspect of the mysterious Eureka Underground. The babbling of the creek below melts stress away and puts you directly in touch with nature.

In the living room you’ll find a flatscreen TV with DVD player and a widely varied collection of around 50 DVDs, plus a large selection of books, an acoustic guitar, board games, puzzles, etc. So much entertainment!

The porch off of the living room is where you enter the property - it’s a few steps above your designated parking spot on Jackson Street. You’ll know you’re at the right place when you see the lime green door!

From the porch you can look down into Leatherwood Creek - it’s absolutely stunning!!! If you’re bringing more than one vehicle, there are low cost, easily accessible paid parking lots less than a block away in each direction.



Important info to know about your stay:

- 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 lime green front door (on Jackson 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.

- Downstairs is a completely separate unit called Down on Main which is also available to rent through VRBO (www.vrbo.com/3016858). 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 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.

Right off the main strip. Parking right at the entrance of the house. (Around back) Welcoming and warm inside the house. The bedroom facing the street had lots of windows to let the light in, a TV with cable/satellite and a nice porch (slight slant forward) for morning hot tea. The street is below, so it can get loud in the morning. The middle room had a TV for video games, one large window and no door. The bathroom was big and the tub was huge. (Washer and dryer included along with bottle soap and shampoo) The kitchen had everything you need for cooking (we never found the toaster) along with a coffee maker, big fridge and microwave. A nice island for eating or setting up food, along with a small table for watching the birds. Plenty of books and movies for entertainment. The only window with a screen was in the hallway. Both the front and back door have screens, a few holes in the bedroom one, for listening to the sounds of nature. (Mosquitoes can get in) The mattresses were not the most comfortable, one pretty firm and one squishy, but there were plenty of pilows and blankets. Matt was so easy to correspond with and very helpful with everything. A nice quiet street to walk your dog on behind the house as well as plenty of floor space for their bed. Everything is in walking distance from restaurants to shopping. We have already talked about coming back and staying here.

Close to everything!
We had a great time in Eureka Springs and Up on Main was within walking distance to so many shops and restaurants. The only time we had to drive was to get out and explore the trails. The house was exactly as described and we would absolutely stay again.

Clean & Close to Downtown!
We enjoyed our stay here due to the ease of the check-in process and the proximity to the historic downtown. Our family has been coming to Eureka Springs forever, and this was once again certainly an enjoyable visit! Our teens enjoyed the vintage gaming systems long, and board game collection. The rooms were clean and certainly large! A perfect for our family of four. The two porches were both used and a lovely touch! The only downside was that the walls/floors are very thin between the properties, and that the heating can be a bit aggressive in the large front bedroom. Otherwise this trip and property was fantastic, we would definitely recommend!
