We would like to thank the many military personnel who spent their Veterans’ Day with us today at Lookout Point!
We welcomed veterans and those serving in active duty with a free Arkansas getaway in honor of their service. Our special guests today included men and women from all branches of the military who have served in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan.
Hundreds of innkeepers participated in this B&Bs for Vets campaign, sponsored by the Better Way To Stay, to recognize those who have made sacrifices for our freedom.
Thank you veterans!
As an on-going thanks to America’s service men and women, Lookout Point always offers a 10% discount Sunday-Thursday for active military. We thank you for your service to our country!

Thousands of bikers descend upon Hot Springs for the annual open rally, held September 8-10. The area is perfect for great rides though the low-lying mountains and scenic vistas!
Bikes in Hot Springs
This year’s rally concerts present Sawyer Brown and Steppenwolf!
Historic downtown Hot Springs rumbles with excitement and energy. After your ride, come “home” to our
Hot Springs bed & breakfast for some genuine peace & quiet. Soak away your stiff muscles in your whirlpool tub, and enjoy a tranquil view of Lake Hamilton from your room or the gardens. It’s the best of both worlds!
Bikers staying at the inn are welcome to park your motorcycles under our covered carport, in our secluded and safe parking lot.

With the “heat bubble” hovering over most of the U.S., Hot Springs is a pretty good place to have fun and stay cool. Here’s our top five suggestions:
1. Rent a boat, and head to Blakely Dam. The water temp drops to about 48 degrees, creating at least a 10 degree drop in air temperature. Really refreshing on hot summer days. Plus the water is so clear you can see the fish swimming. Try Marineland for boat rentals.
2. The Gangster Museum of America. Spend time indoors at this fun and quirky museum, exploring the unique, checkered history of Hot Springs.
3. Star gaze from the lakeside hammocks of Lookout Point. With a cool beverage and a breeze off the lake, you’ll definitely feel cooler.
4. Crystal Falls Water Park.
Water fun at Crystal Falls
With a lazy river, wave pool, and lots more water fun, Crystal Falls is a cool way to spend the day. Get discounted admission tickets from the inn, and there is no waiting in line for tickets, too.
5. Explore Mid-America Science Museum. More than 100 hands-on exhibits delight by kids and adults of all ages.
Keep Cool!

One of the coolest ways to celebrate a hot 4th of July weekend is on the water in Hot Springs. Enjoy TWO fantastic fireworks shows, one of July 2 and the next on July 4.
Fireworks on the lake
Although you will see some fireworks displays from your room at our Hot Springs bed and breakfast, we’ll make reservations for you to see the major fireworks shows.
The best places for enjoying the fireworks are from The Belle of Hot Springs fireworks cruise, OR J & S Italian Villa. Reservations are a must!
As always, we gladly take care of all concierge needs for our guests.

The 2011 thoroughbred horse racing season ended on Saturday with an exciting Arkansas Derby. The breathtaking finish scored an upset victory for ArchArchArch. Many Lookout Point guests enjoyed the entire week of Derby Days.
Arkansas Derby Fans
These featured guests travel from Illinois, Missouri, Florida, and Ohio each year, staying at Lookout Point for the past 7 years. Great laughter fills the inn, especially after the bloody Mary’s. Each year we look forward to the Arkansas Derby and the arrival of special guests!
It’s not too early to reserve your room for the 2012 Arkansas Derby, April 12-15.

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!

- mourning dove
- chimney swift
- bank swallow
- barn swallow
- purple martin
- red-headed woodpecker
- tufted titmouse
- American robin

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.
