Hot Springs is becoming known as one of the great places to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day! On March 17, the hilarious “First Ever 9th Annual World’s Shortest St. Patrick’s Day Parade”
World's Shortest St. Patrick's Parade
is held on Bridge St., in the historic downtown. Really. This parade is only 98 feet long–the entire length of Bridge St.
Never a town that takes itself too seriously, this day is full of green celebration and green libation. Live, free concerts fill the air before and after the parade. You can also join in the kissing of the Blarney Stone.
This year’s grand marshal: Otter (Tim Matheson) from Animal House.
Come on and stay at our Hot Springs B&B—away from the crowds and noise, but close enough to the fun. We’ll provide tips on the best parking and viewing areas.

Happy 9th Birthday to Lookout Point! Today we celebrate nine years
Happy Birthday!
of opening our doors to the best guests in the entire world. On Valentine’s Day, 2003 we opened to a full house. While some guests were out to dinner, glass shower doors were being installed. With construction delays, the gardens and waterfalls were yet a vision in our minds at that time.
The first day of serving breakfast, Ray sliced his hand on a new knife –he was not used to handling sharp knives–and had to drive himself to the ER for stitches and then surgery.
We’ve learned so much in these 9 years, and the most important lesson is the comforting reassurance that we love, love, love being innkeepers and welcoming people to this oasis of peace & tranquility.
You’re invited to come stay at our Hot Springs B&B/Inn!

At Lookout Point, we are committed to taking care of the environment in every way possible. We recycle, we built the inn with green products, our cleaning products are eco-friendly, we use CFB’s, and the list goes on.
Last year, we partnered with Clean The World, shipping the unused portions of guest soaps to Clean The World. Instead of throwing unused soaps away, we now pay to ship them to Clean The World. These soaps are collected, sterilized, recycled and distributed to 48 countries to stop the spread of preventable diseases.
Every day 9,000 children around the world die from acute respiratory illnesses and diarrheal diseases that could be prevented
Recycled Soaps Clean the World
with simple handwashing. In 2011, 97 bars of soap were made from the little bars of unused soap from Lookout Point guests!
It’s an honor to do small tasks that can make a big difference in people’s lives.

We immensely enjoyed The Christmas Carol (the musical) at Arkansas Repertory Theatre (The Rep) in Little Rock. “Our own” Adam Hose
Ray, Adam (aka Bob Crachit), Kristie, and mom
stars as Bob Cratchit, singing a tender duet with Tiny Tim. We call Adam “our own” because he is a beloved guest of Lookout Point.
Hailing from New York, whenever Adam is performing in the area, he considers our Hot Springs bed & breakfast home for an escape.
Congratulations to The Rep for a fantastic and successful production of Charles Dickens’ story of Christmas love. NOW I am ready for Christmas.
Kristie

We use these sheets at our Hot Springs B&B, and at our home. They get softer and softer as they age, the sheets wick moisture, and look like new for years to come. (Guaranteed by the company–if ever there is a problem, just let us know and we’ll take care of it!)
The sheets are available in white, ivory, tea green and chocolate colors. The Queen sets are $165, King $179 and shipping to your home is free! The set includes a deep-pocket fitted sheet, flat sheet and 2 pillowcases.
