In a stroll through the gardens on this fine day, the blooms are truly eye candy. Besides the magnolias, hydrangeas, gardenias, Brazilian verbena, lilies, and butterfly bush, our feathered friends provided amusement.

Cardinals, ducks “Ricky & Lucy”, finches, mourning doves, robins, and scores of other birds were feasting, playing, and bathing in the gardens. The nest of baby robins will soon be empty.

We invite you to come enjoy a splendid space for relaxation and beauty at our Hot Springs B&B!

On a gorgeous April day, with a perfectly blue sky and slight breeze, Jeff and Tracy exchanged vows at Lookout Point.

Congrats, Jeff & Tracy!

Standing before family and friends, the couple chose the lakeside labyrinth for the site of their lakeside garden wedding.

Tracy’s stylish bridesmaids carried yellow bouquets, and the chairs were also adorned with yellow pom-poms.

Congratulations to the happy couple! We wish you all the best.

There are many good reasons to choose a stress-free intimate wedding. Give us a call, and we’ll be pleased to assist you.

At Lookout Point Inn we love dogs and because of that we really love to welcome pooches  at the inn along with their owners.

Ray and I have had numerous dogs in our lives throughout the years, each with funny and touching stories. When we were planning the inn, we decided to make sure we could accommodate dogs – from tiny to large breed – when they traveled with their owners.

When we have our guests’ special four-legged

Water loving dog, Nikki

friends stay with us, they are welcomed with a gift including custom-made doggie treats. Of course, they also receive their own personal welcome letter.

Please let us know you’re bringing your furry friend when you make reservations and we’ll be sure you are reserved in one of our dog-friendly rooms (four of our rooms are dog-friendly with direct access to the gardens).  We can help plan a perfect dog-friendly itinerary during your stay in Hot Springs.

As far as we know, Lookout Point Inn is the only Hot Springs B&B/Inn to welcome dogs. We look forward to pampering your special family member on your next visit.

‘Tis the season for beautiful garden lakeside weddings on Lake Hamilton at our inn! In the past few weeks, many couples

Brittani & Scott's spring wedding

have chosen to exchange their vows here. Lake Hamilton, our gardens, and the waterfalls at Lookout Point make great back-drops for beautiful photos.

Congratulations to Scott and Brittani, wed on April 3, 2012! They are such a dear, genuinely nice couple, and were surrounded by family and friends for their wedding.

We wish you all the best! It’s true–all of our staff genuinely care about each and every couple that chooses to get married at Lookout Point.

The Garvan Gardens Boat Show, March 30-April 1, features antique and classic boats.  These boats,

lovingly restored by proud owners, value over $1 million. Owners from across the country are available to discuss the process for restoring these beautiful and priceless vessels.

If you’re bringing a boat to enter in the show, Lookout Point offers a complimentary boat stall during your stay. Right on Lake Hamilton, our Hot Springs B&B is only minutes from Garvan Gardens–by boat or land.

The editor of Better Homes & Gardens Country Gardens magazine,

BHG Country Gardens editor James Baggett

James Baggett recently included Hot Springs, Garvan Gardens, and our inn in the  BHG blog.  It was our honor to welcome James to the inn!He’s been a magazine editor for 30 years, and he is full of life, and great ideas. Rarely one to sit still, when he had a few extra minutes James could be found in our gardens, deadheading flowers.

When James asked if he could re-pot our house plants, I was speechless! Within a week of his departure, our houseplants had all been lovingly tended.

Here’s James’ comments about our Hot Springs B&B:

But the highlight of my too-short visit had to be my impeccable accommodations at Lookout Point Lakeside Inn. Nestled in the Ouachita Mountains overlooking a serene bay of Lake Hamilton, the inn—built in 2003 in the Arts and Crafts architectural style—is surrounded by pretty manicured gardens and pathways and waterfalls that lead to the lake itself, where turtles gently paddle near the water’s edge. Innkeepers Ray and Kristie Rosset have created a labyrinth for guests to explore, above. (Remember, you get lost in a maze and find yourself in a labyrinth.) While I slowly followed the twists and turns of the labyrinth, hummingbirds were busy sipping nectar from the many flowering shrubs and perennials that line the paths that crisscross this idyllic getaway. Like I said, it’s especially comforting to reflect on just such an escape at precisely this time of year.

Thank you, James! We would love to welcome YOU to enjoy Hot Springs, Garvan Gardens,  our inn, and perhaps find yourself in our labyrinth.

Love and marriage enveloped the inn this weekend. With 11-11-11,  the first wedding of the day was held at 11am, of course. The weather cooperated all weekend, with gorgeous fall colors and sunny skies.

Congratulations to all the couples who were married at our Hot Springs bed & breakfast (5 couples in total) this weekend, and to those that stayed with us while getting married at the Anthony Chapel of Garvan Gardens.  Many blessings to: Kristie & Corey, Hap & Melissa, Darnell & Kim G, Ritchie & Susie, Jason & Joie, and Tiffany & Chris.

A stunning autumn day greeted Norris & Karla to Lookout Point for their wedding. As a surprise to Karla, her family arrived just in time for the wedding ceremony.

Dressed in handsome Harley Davidson attire, the lovely couple exchanged vows in our gardens with Lake Hamilton providing a calm backdrop. The Harley theme

carried to the cake, with a cute cake topper of a wedding couple on the motorcycle. Of course, the family tied a string of cans to the back of the motorcycle

Congratulations to Karla and Norris, a wonderful and happy couple. We wish you all the best in life.

Our Hot Springs bed & breakfast provides a beautiful setting for intimate lakeside wedding on Lake Hamilton.

We chose  Arkansas for the site of our bed & breakfast inn, because it’s an extraordinarily beautiful state. Every autumn

Early Autumn on Lake Hamilton

I am awestruck by the sheer goodness of being here: perfect temperatures with low humidity, stunning views across the lake, and a riot of color.

Peak fall colors for our area are predicted for early to mid-November. Yet guests were still enjoying breakfast outdoors on the patio this week, while overlooking the lake and Ouachita Mountains.

For stunning yellow, red, and orange foliage, come on to Hot Springs. We’ll steer you to fantastic drives and hikes for the best views.

Dressed in their wedding finery, Alicia and Michael decided to depart via Lookout Point’s canoe! It’s a bit tricky getting into a canoe while attired in wedding clothes, but this fun couple were determined, and no one got wet!

Just married!

Of course while out on the lake, Michael had to throw in a line.

Beautiful bride!

We specialize in intimate and unique Hot Springs weddings.  The inn’s lakeside gardens create a beautiful site. There’s even a stone altar in the gardens, for those wanting more of a “church” feel while outdoors.

Congratulations, Alicia & Michael! We wish all the best for you.
