MOCA Hot Springs Features Ansel Adams

Kristie Rosset — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 22:38:08 +0000

The early works of Ansel Adams, the master of American landscape, are displayed at the Hot Springs’ Museum of Contemporary Art until August 1.

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!

Intimate Wedding on Lake Hamilton

Kristie Rosset — Sat, 08 May 2010 19:27:15 +0000

At Lookout Point, we LOVE weddings, especially small intimate weddings. And especially when the couple is as kind & fun as Samantha & Mark. They exchanged vows today by the lake, with immediate family present. Congratulations!

Marrying at Lookout Point is becoming a trend for the Miller family. Three years ago sister Amy married Cody at Lookout Point, and today they returned to attend this wedding with their precious 2 year old son. What a joy to see them again!

Staying Fit at Lookout Point: A New Partnership

Kristie Rosset — Fri, 07 May 2010 18:33:19 +0000

Meeting the needs of our guests is the top priority of Lookout Point. More and more travelers seek to stay fit while enjoying a vacation, so we’ve partnered with the nearby Hot Springs Health & Fitness. With the negotiated discounted rate, our guests will save some money, too.

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.

Bird Watching Paradise at Lookout Point

Yesterday we welcomed an ornithologist to Lookout Point. Within an hour of his arrival at the inn, David spotted :

Canada Goose
mallard
great blue heron
turkey vulture
mourning dove
chimney swift
bank swallow
barn swallow
purple martin
red-headed woodpecker
tufted titmouse
American robin
cedar waxwing
great crested flycatcher
blue jay
northern cardinal
red-winged blackbird
brown-headed cowbird
common grackle (these could go away!)
rose-breasted grosbeak
song sparrow
chipping sparrow
house finch
house sparrow
carolina wren

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.

Charming Elopement on Lake Hamilton

Kristie Rosset — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 03:16:12 +0000

On a gorgeous spring day, Shannon & Brian exchanged vows in the gardens of Lookout Point, at the water’s edge of Lake Hamilton. During the wedding ceremony, quiet Brian (whom we learned has a dry and quick wit) cracked all of us up with a unique photographer request–to get a picture of his handsome new size 15 shoes.

It was such a privilege to officate at their wedding, and to share in their absolute joy. Congratulations to a wonderful couple, Shannon & Brian!
