UP ON MAIN - a charming historic apartment in the heart of Eureka Springs


This beautifully unique space is the (completely private) upper floor of a very grand old building right in the vibrant heart of Eureka Springs. Originally opened in 1885 as Harp’s Grocery, the building has long been a fixture in the coolest, most distinctive historic town in the Ozarks. Now updated with modern amenities, you’ll find it to be an absolute haven where your crew can relax and have a blast together. World class dining, galleries, shopping and more are all within easy walking distance; it’s just a block or two to many of the very best attractions of Eureka Springs.

Bedroom one has a queen size bed, a large flatscreen TV, and a gorgeous private balcony overlooking Main Street, a truly magical spot to simply sit and chill in the evening when the twinkle lights come on.

Bedroom two has a full size bed with a large flatscreen TV with DVD player and a super rad Nintendo gaming system that plays the original Nintendo NES games as well as Super Nintendo games. We have an awesome selection of vintage games here where you can geek out and get your nostalgia fix. Original Nintendo games include: Super Mario Bros., Super Mario 3, Paperboy 2, and Kirby’s Adventure. Super Nintendo games include: Super Mario World and Legend of Zelda. Each game has its own labeled spot on the shelf - please return them to their places when you check out!

The bathroom is a stunning space with a deep soaking tub/shower combo under a windowed cupola. There’s also a washer and dryer here for your convenience.

In the kitchen you’ll find a full complement of standard appliances and accessories, including a full size fridge, a coffee maker, a gas range/oven, a toaster oven, a microwave, plenty of plates/bowls/utensils/flatware, and a bar with two barstools. The dining area looks down over Leatherwood Creek, a tributary of the White River which now flows both openly and under Main Street in a long tunnel, a mysterious aspect of the mysterious Eureka Underground. The babbling of the creek below melts stress away and puts you directly in touch with nature.

In the living room you’ll find a flatscreen TV with DVD player and a widely varied collection of around 50 DVDs, plus a large selection of books, an acoustic guitar, board games, puzzles, etc. So much entertainment!

The porch off of the living room is where you enter the property - it’s a few steps above your designated parking spot on Jackson Street. You’ll know you’re at the right place when you see the lime green door!

From the porch you can look down into Leatherwood Creek - it’s absolutely stunning!!! If you’re bringing more than one vehicle, there are low cost, easily accessible paid parking lots less than a block away in each direction.



Important info to know about your stay:

- Yes we have WIFI.

- Pets are allowed! Please just bring your own dedicated doggy blanket if your furry friend will be on the furniture. You are of course responsible for any damages incurred.

- You will receive a code to open the key box on the handle of the lime green front door (on Jackson Street). When you check out, it is your responsibility to return the key to this box and leave the door locked. If you lose the key, you will be charged.

- Downstairs is a completely separate unit called Down on Main which is also available to rent through VRBO (www.vrbo.com/3016858). However, EACH side of the stairway door locks, so ONLY you will have control if you want to unlock it. When you arrive, it’ll be locked from both sides. Both the upstairs AND the downstairs tenants will have to unlock the door from their own side if they want to open passage between the units.

- Please be aware: we will enforce our rule of maximum number of occupants. We do have security cameras on the outside of the building, and if you try to have a big crazy party in our building, you will be shut down! Jackson street has private residences where locals live and it is imperative to us that our guests respect the fact that they have families and jobs. We want you to come have fun, but PLEASE do so in a manner that doesn’t impose on anyone else.

- Pro Tip: midweek dates are generally offered at a discounted rate.

This is the most perfect modern style that’s close to all the fun shops of eureka. Short driving distance from antique stores and everything. The host was great and super responsive always. The home was easy to find, very clean and so homely! 10/10 recommend to anyone! We will be staying again! We frequent eureka and have just found our new home away from home!

The location is great! You’re within walking distance to downtown and right around the corner from a coffee shop. Matt is a great host and was always quick to communicate. The apartment is nice though the layout does require you to pass through the first bedroom to get to the second one. As a result, people in the farthest bedroom have to cut through the other bedroom to use the restroom or get to living room. As long as you’re comfortable with everyone you’re staying with, it’s not a big deal. Overall, this is a nice vacation rental in a great location!

Great location! Absolutely best of both worlds being on the edge of town. Everything downtown very accessible by foot. Host was quick to respond with communication. And host was very kind on letting us know the property was available hours before check in time. Thank you! This would have been a 5 star rating if closer attention was paid to cleanliness of the apartment and the amount of linens on hand. Laundering towels and wash cloths isn't what one looks forward to doing while on vacation. All small issues really ..

Up on main exceeded our expectations. 1st we were offered a early check in, which we took full advantage of and very much appreciated! Easy to find with the directions. parking is a little tight but still had room with a 3/4 ton full sized truck. House is much bigger than we expected by the pictures. Loved the old but fully functioning decor and rustic look. The balcony Overlooking main street we exactly what we wanted but yet still not very noisy at night. Plenty of books games and movies although we didn't use any of them. Could definitely use more lighting in the kitchen but small price to pay for such a wonderful place. Will definitely be booking again.

Great location for downtown access. Property is very old and only partially updated. Could use a good cleaning, and few more updates. Parking would be fine for a compact car, but not so much for 3 motorcycles.

Both porches were so dirty, ancient plastic flowers in pots. Really needs some improvement on these areas. Smelled like it had been closed up for weeks. Lots of hanging curtains windows doors that needed to be hung back properly. I would guess the owner lives out of town.

Charming Location, but Strong Odors and Loud HVAC Derailed the Stay

The apartment has a lot of charm and is in a great location—right in the heart of Eureka Springs and close to everything we wanted to see. It was clean and clearly has received many positive reviews in the past.Unfortunately, our experience didn’t live up to the expectations. When we walked in, we were overwhelmed by a strong Pine-Sol smell, which quickly gave way to a persistent musty/mildew odor that lingered throughout the apartment. It made the space feel damp and uncomfortable.Additionally, the HVAC unit was extremely loud—sounding like a freight train each time it kicked on. It was disruptive enough that it made it difficult to sleep or relax.Due to these issues, we actually ended up leaving a day early. With a few improvements to air quality and HVAC noise, this could be a great spot, but as it stands, it just didn’t work for us.

Great location, spacious rooms, comfy beds. Host was very responsive whenever we had a question. When we first got there, there was a really bad musty smell and we noticed a small drip from the kitchen ceiling that we thought might be the cause. We notified the host, who tried to find someone to come look at it, but since it was the weekend, he wouldn't be able to get someone there while we were there. The smell continued throughout our weekend stay. I would stay at this place again because of all the positives. Since I hadn't seen any reviews that mentioned the smell, I assume it was a new problem and will be resolved, but I'd definitely ask about it before booking.

Location location location

Great place to stay. Very clean and scenic with one porch overlooking Main Street and the other looking down on a creek of sorts. The two bedrooms join in such a way that the people in the far room have to walk through the other BR to get to the bathroom and the front of the house. That might be awkward for some. Overall tho it was all five stars.

Not For Us - Honest

There are many good reviews about this place which is why we chose to stay here. For us, we didn't care for this place at all. My husband & I often stay at VRBOs. I understand that this property was 'old/historical', not a problem as we've enjoyed such properties. But just because something is old doesn't mean it has to be short on quality. I'll start with the positive. The host was very responsive and helpful in communication. The place does have character and the bathroom is huge and well lit (Bring your own hairdryer). A few things would make the experience of staying here vastly improved: A larger TV for the living room. You practically need a telescope to see it. The light bulb in the kitchen is at best a 40 watt. There is a little side light by the stove but that's it. (Under counter & over the sink and track lighting would help. We had to use our cellphone flashlights to see in the cupboards & to wash dishes. Dishes, cooking utensils, seasonings other than salt, dish sponges/rag to wash are needed-like a spatula to flip eggs. The place was very dusty. The main bedroom be made creaking noises w/ the sligtest move. The bedspread dirty/stained, smelled like an old spice armpit. The balcony door was almost impossible to open. The towels/washcloths were cheap/thin. Again to each his own, but for 275 a night, I expect more. We ate it & left a night early. A few improvements & this property would be nice. Hopefully, the owner will make some adjustments for future guests.
