One of the most dazzling exhibitions in Hot Springs each year is “Lights on the Landscape” at Garvan Woodland Gardens. From Nov. 17-Dec. 31, 5-9 p.m. the Gardens twinkle with more than 1.8 million brilliant bulbs. This display of lights is one of the most anticipated events in Arkansas and is filled with expectation and excitement for the holiday season. As an added treat, the Gardens also allow dogs to come along for the outing.
If you’ve never visited the Gardens, this would be the perfect opportunity to plan a trip to the holiday display and to stay with us at the inn. Or, if you return year after year to enjoy the sights, please consider making us your holiday headquarters during your trip.
As an added bonus, Lookout Point is offering very special low rates ($99/night) in our Queen Standard rooms for the first 3 weeks of December, on weeknights Sunday-Thursday. Just give us a call to make your reservation at 501.525.6155.
Thanks to some great guest photos, enjoy these photos from last year’s Lights on the Landscape.

Yesterday Ray & I went to the Garvan Gardens,
Awesome Beauty
expecting to see the last of the daffodils. Instead, we were treated to a feast for the eyes: seas of tulips in early bloom. The sight is breathtakingly beautiful.
The riotous colors tickle the senses, and invite us to stop, pause, and just take in the wonder.
As an added bonus, the handsome peacocks were strutting their colors at the entrance to the gardens. Doesn’t get much better than this on a lovely spring day!
If you can getaway on March 7 or 8 to see the tulips, Lookout Point has a special offer. We also have a very few rooms remaining available for Friday, March 9 (one night stay).

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.

In a concert aptly called “Opera Appetizers”, the performers
Amazing Nicole, Stephanie, Adam, Deleen, Stacey, and Michelle
of The Magic Flutes presented a passionate and spell-binding concert at the Garvan Woodland Gardens on Sunday. Lookout Point was delighted to sponsor the concert, and to welcome these talented artists to the inn for a post-concert reception.
Join us Friday evening for The Magic Flutes, on the 220th anniversary of Mozart’s composition. Tickets are still available, along with a package to stay at Lookout Point. A wine reception at the Hale Bathhouse precedes the concert.

This weekend, July 15-17, you’ll find some pretty cool stuff happening in our lovely city of Hot Springs, Arkansas. Not to mention that as I write this post, it’s raining and temp dropped 30 degrees. Sweet!
Here’s some fun stuff:
Tour Lake Hamilton
- Captain Ray provides a 90-minute boat tour of Lake Hamilton for guests of our Hot Springs B&B. Tour departs at 10 AM, and returns to the inn by 11:30.
- Antique Walk, this Friday July 15 from 4-8 pm in the historic downtown. Explore some unique antique shops, then dine at one of our fav restaurants. We suggest Rolando’s for delicious Nuevo Latino fare, or Central Park Fusion, both within easy walking distance of Antique Walk.
- Moonlight Stroll/Full Moon Hike. Great opportunity for a guided night hike, led by a National Park Interpreter. Yes, Hot Springs National Park is right downtown. Meet at the summit of West Mountain. Fun!
- Miss Arkansas Pageant. See the crowning event on Saturday night at 7:30pm.

That’s right! The First Ever 8th Annual World’s Shortest St. Patrick’s Day Parade will be held in Hot Springs, Arkansas on March 17th. But don’t think that something so short isn’t worth your time. The Leprechauns will not take that lightly! The event is recognized by the Southeast Tourism Society as one of the top 20 events in the Southeast. In addition the Smithsonian has named #1 in the way of the most unusual celebrations of the holiday. Irish Central named it “the wackiest”. Now you know you want to be a part of it! Have a stay at Lookout Point Lakeside Inn and be there for this year’s round of recognition.
The festivities will last well into the evening with live music and a street dance starting at 7:30 to finish it off. Of course this will follow other events like the Blarney Stone Kissing contest at 4:30, and the parade itself lasts for and hour starting at 6:30. Get a good spot for viewing by making sure you arrive by 6:00 when the festivities kick off!
This year’s Grand Marshal will be none other than one John Corbett!
Grand Marshal of The World's Shortest St. Patrick's Day Parade 2011
You know him from popular television shows such as Parenthood, Sex and the City and Northern Exposure. He will not only serve as Grand Marshal but also will provide the after-entertainment for the street dance by performing with his band!
The parade is held on Bridge Street in downtown Hot Springs. All 98ft of Bridge Street earned it the title of the World’s Shortest Street from Ripley’s Believe It Or Not in the 1940′s. Sounds like a great location for a parade, right?! Over 30,000 people seem to think so. They flock to the site each year to celebrate the holiday.
Why not join them this year? Come and have a relaxing stay in one of these luxurious rooms at our bed and breakfast. We will make sure you are well rested and geared up for wearing green!

Here’s an easy trick for keeping poinsettias looking fresh and beautiful for the entire month, and beyond. Ice. That’s it. Simply place 1/2 cup of ice on each poinsettia in place of water. Do not even think about watering these beautiful plants!
I learned this trick years ago when serving the church, and we had hundreds of poinsettias. Most of the plants die, or begin looking wilted, from too much water. They don’t like wet feet. The ice slowly melts, providing a more constant source of nourishment.
Almost daily guests ask how we keep the poinsettias looking so lovely, and we’ve had the flowers for 3 weeks already. Sometimes I think if I know something, then the entire world probably knows it. Yet I’m learning this tip may not be so widely known.
I would love to hear your helpful hints for the holidays! What makes your life a wee bit easier this month?
Kristie
