One of mother nature’s unexpected “gifts” is a water fountain “pond” filled with brim. I’m not a fisherperson, but it’s those lake fish with a blue spot on their sides. There’s probably 100 brim in the pond, plus the 30 goldfish. We are continually inviting guests to fish the brim, and release them the lake—-or take them home in their own cooler. I’m not cooking the fish!
Today our wonderful guest Raymond enjoyed some fishing in our pond, and caught 3 brim in a short amount of time. Yeah! The one goldfish snagged was happily released to swim with his friends.
If you want some easy fishing, come on to Lookout Point. Pull up a chair, sit in the shade, and fish away. Sip on a glass of wine or beer, and RELAX.
I haven’t figured out how to have a fishing tournament in our pond. Any ideas?

In preparation for an October wedding, Kelley chose to have her bridal portraits 
taken at Lookout Point Lakeside Inn. The labyrinth, gardens, and interior of the inn compose a stunning background for a beautiful bride. To schedule a time for a bridal photography session, simply call the inn at 501-525-6155. Cost is only $50 for one hour, and includes up to 4 people (bride, photographer, assistant, and mother of the bride).
Photographer Jason with The Photo Standard went to great lengths to get the perfect shot, including standing on a balcony railing, capturing a photo on labyrinth. He also stood on a tall ladder to snap a shot of the bride leaning over a balcony. It was fun!

It was a joy to be a part of the Jennings wedding last Sunday at Lookout Point. Katie looked gorgeous in her gown as she walked down the aisle on her father’s arm. Her daughter Analee walked in front with her miniature bouquet. She was a beautiful little angel!
Katie’s brother played the guitar as Katie walked down the aisle. The ceremony took place in the garden near the waterfall. The couple and Analee participated in a sand union using white, black and pink sand. The sand unity was just lovely, and the perfect touch for their wedding.
Congratulations Katie and Joshua on your marriage! Best wishes for a long happy life together!

The Saint Louis Dispatch featured an article about Lookout Point in their publication last week. The author of the article, Jim Winnerman, stayed at Lookout Point to research for his article. The article gives a wonderful overview of the inn, our rooms, and different amenities we offer. We are very delighted to have this type of recognition in this publication.
We look forward to future publications that highlight what Lookout Point has to offer. Thank you Jim for such a wonderful piece. To book a room or for more information about the inn call Kristie at 501-525-6155, or visit our website!

A unique departure from a beautiful wedding at Lookout Point Lakeside Inn! Stacey & Marshall brought their jet ski, and his sister created a lovely “Just Married” sign for the back of the jet ski. Their wedding clothes remained dry!
Congratulations and best wishes to Marshall and Stacey on your marriage!

- Nancy & David wed at Lookout Point
On June 1, 2009 Nancy and David exchanged vows in the gardens of Lookout Point Lakeside Inn. It was an honor to officiate at their wedding, and share in this high holy moment! Following is an excerpt from Nancy:
Just wanted to tell you how very pleased and happy we were with our wedding at your beautiful inn last week! We couldnt have asked for a more lovely setting to begin our life together. The grounds are so beautifully maintained and the romantic Hot Springs Suite was a dream come true. We will both remember the extremely touching ceremony for the rest of our lives.
I wanted Ray to see how well he did snapping photos. These are just a few of them and they will all be treasured forever.
Words can’t express how appreciative we are for the kindness and grace shown to us by you, Ray and members of your staff.
Thank you again, Nancy
We wish all the best to David and Nancy!

Each day for the past few weeks, Mama Duck and her ducklings arrive at the inn for breakfast and dinner, feeding under the bird feeders. Often during breakfast service, our guests enjoy the show as the Mama leads her brood up the property to the bird feeders. After a fine feast, the little family moves on to the pond and waterfalls where they swim, drink, and sometimes nap on the rocks. We’ve enjoyed watching this family grow from such tiny ducklings!
- Welcome to Lookout Point Lakeside Inn!
Although the mama is camera shy, the ducklings have been photographed by many guests. Our “resident” ducks, Lucy, Ricky and Fred (who claim Lookout Point Lakeside Inn as their home every spring-fall) have not produced any offspring this year to date. However during a recent outdoor wedding in the gardens, the trio came to the wedding and decided to attempt the mating process about 15 feet away from the bride & groom. The 3rd duck, sqwuacked so loudly that we needed to pause the wedding and simply laugh. One guest proclaimed the duck scene to be “a good omen for your marriage”.

Matthew Lovette and Mark Smith, the creative geniuses of Jumping Rocks Photography, recently completed a second photo shoot for the inn. Since their last visit 3 years ago, we’ve added the Hot Springs King Suite, Mountain View Cozy Room, the Lakeview Terrace condo, plus significantly rearranged the Romance King Suite.
Capturing great images at Lookout Point
Besides being great photographers, these guys are two of the kindest people in the world. We just love having them around. They captured incredible photos (soon to be placed on our website) of the new rooms, and also great photos of the gardens in springtime. Abundant thanks to Matthew & Mark!
