Sugar Ridge Resort

Absolutely positively recommend this place! Anytime of the year at that. Very peaceful and relaxing. Lots of scenery and great views with many things to do in the summers.

We had the Eagle’s Nest Family cabin.
Pros: Beautiful cabin. Beautiful view (just like pictures). Very friendly staff.
Cons: Smoke smell, from fireplace usage, incredibly strong inside cabin (unfortunately, you CAN’T see this in the pictures). Even though we did not use the fireplace while there, everything in our suitcases was saturated with that smell when we returned home. Also, there is no wifi.
We prepaid for 4 nights but were ready to leave after 3 (even though we knew we wouldn’t get a refund for last night).

My husband and I decided to do something different for our first wedding anniversary, and instead of staying in a bed and breakfast or a hotel in town, we opted for a secluded cabin overlooking the lake. And while I’m not one to go roughin’ it, I certainly enjoyed the serenity and peacefulness this little cabin provided.
First of all, my GPS about had a massive freak out while trying to find this place. It really is off the beaten path and up a very steep one-​laned hill. I’m not sure how people would be able to visit during the winter if there is snow, but Sugar Ridge is definitely open all year round.
My husband and I were in cabin #5, and as soon as we opened the door we were hit with a lovely lemon scent and a beautiful view of the lake. We had a two-​room cabin. The living room was very rustic (complete with stuffed fish above the fireplace), but super homey. Had all your comforts like appliances, kitchen table, even a little writing desk. The bedroom had a nice king bed and a large jacuzzi in front of a huge picture window overlooking the lake.
Outside was a deck/​balcony that was really lovely complete with a small bistro set, a couple of Adirondack chairs, and porch swing. I wanted to spend most of my time out there because of how inviting it was. Perfect for relaxing at any time of the day.
Each cabin comes with a charcoal grill if you are so inclined, but only the main office and the suites have wi-​fi. So beware if that is one of your must-​haves. However my Verizon service and husband’s AT&T service worked just fine out there, no issues whatsoever with 3G or 4GLTE.
Sugar Ridge was the perfect place for us to spend our anniversary. It was only about 20 – 25 minutes outside of downtown Eureka Springs, so it wasn’t too much of a hassle getting to the «big city». We would have no second thoughts in staying here again in the future. Loved every bit.

OMG! The cabins at the Sugar Ridge Resort were absolutely a dream to stay in. Normally they run around $ 425 a night… we got on hotwire (a website of that nature) and got the room for $ 360 tax and all fees included. When you have 7 people staying the cabin that is not a lot to pay at all. I posted several pictures of our cabin and the view. Their is 3 California king size beds and 2 queens in the upper loft. Two full bathrooms and two complete entertainment rooms downstairs and upstairs. Two decks and a BBQ grill. One kitchen complete with dishwasher, refridgerator, coffee maker, and cooking untensils. Fire wood is on the porch that you are welcome to use in the fire place.
On my specific stay my friends and I, there were 7 of us, BBQed that night and watched TV. One of the couples used the hot tub that was in the master bedroom by the window over looking the view of Beaver lake outside. It doesnt get better than that!
As for the location it is outside of Eureka Springs about 10 miles but is well worth it. Far enough to get you away from the town but close enough for driving distance. This is the IDEAL place for people who travel in groups and want a night out. Because the cabin is so big (three stories) there is also a sense of privacy. Absolutely perfect.

Big cabin, great view, and big tub! No room service (trash or clean towels)
