We’d love for you to stay at our bed & breakfast inn while you’re attending the festival.  Great fun!

Did you know that Adams was torn between being a concert pianist and a photographer?  According to MOCA, he famously likened the photographic negative to a musical score, and the print to the performance. You’ll admire 50 of his prints, on display until August 1. 

Come stay at our Hot Springs bed & breakfast, convenient to the downtown museums yet nestled on beautiful Lake Hamilton.

Fireworks over Lake Hamilton

Hot Springs celebrates our nation’s birthday BIG!  The fireworks over Lake Hamilton light up the sky and reflect across  the water on July 3rd.  It’s always a really great pyrotechnic display!   

On July 2nd you’ll find live music and fireworks at Oaklawn’s Spa Blast 2010. 

Rent a boat for a day of lake fun (or swim off of our dock in the clear waters of Lake Hamilton), then dine at J&S Italian Villa overlooking the fireworks.  Or take the Belle Riverboat fireworks cruise for an up-close look.  Let us make reservations for you soon…both places fill up quickly. 

There’s still time to reserve a room at our Hot Springs bed & breakfast inn.  Come join the fun!

The East Side Girls of Little Rock

The East Side girls, all formerly of Little Rock, gathered from across the country to renew friendships and celebrate.   Friends since junior high, many of these women were the first graduation class from the Little Rock Central High School following integration. 

You’re invited to celebrate a birthday at Lookout Point, whether in a romantic fashion for just the two of you, or with your dearest friends.

One-of-a-kind in concept and execution, the Hot Springs Music Festival brings together over 250 international musicians each June to our wonderful city of Hot Springs. Lookout Point Lakeside Inn delights in sponsoring the Music Festival, and whenever possible we try to catch a concert or rehearsal. Rehearsals are FREE!

The Festival, now in its fifteenth season, pairs world-class mentor musicians from major orchestras, chamber ensembles and conservatory faculties with especially talented pre-professional apprentices–all of whom receive full scholarship plus housing; the two groups play “side by side” in orchestral, chamber, solo recital, vocal, choral and chamber opera repertoire. For two weeks, these musicians form a unique community, presenting 20 concerts and over 250 open rehearsals for music lovers from across the globe.

We invite you to enjoy the amazing Hot Springs Music Festival! The extraordinary talent inhabiting Hot Springs during these two weeks takes my breath away. This is a time to feed the soul!

With a certificate from the inn, our guests may participate in day long activities at the fitness center, from yoga and zumba classes to the wide array of exercise equipment and weights. An added bonus are the two outdoor pools (one for kiddos and a larger pool, including lap lanes).

Of course, you’re welcome to swim in the lake. Beach towels provided. Or nap in the hammock.

Many of the birds are now nesting on the property, including the mallards.  Watching the birds helps me to not take life too seriously.  Somehow, I feel lighter.  Thank you, David, for identifying some of our feathered friends.

The Recycled Sculpture Contest showcases the artistic talent and creativity of area individuals, civic, school and other groups using recycled, and/or reused items as the media for art. Prizes are awarded to winners by popular vote.  Enjoy a great walk while admiring creativity.

Each year, these two become a bit more brave, although as you can tell from the photo Lucy still does not like to have photos taken.   This morning, they dined below the bird feed while guests enjoyed their breakfast.  Then off to the waterfalls & our pond for a swim and nap.  

Ricky & Lucy aren’t talking about their trip, nor why they arrived more than a week late.  We’re left guessing.  And grateful for their appearance and the wonderful rhythm of life.

Honestly, the beauty takes my breath away.  These gorgeous gardens herald hope, joy, and vitality. 

Of course, the gardens at Lookout Point are bursting forth with spring’s promise.  Forsythias, early azaleas, daffodils, and phlox are in blooming proudly.  Come see us!
