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

THIS BOOKING IS FOR THE ENTIRE LOWER FLOOR OF THE BUILDING - You’ll have the entire floor to yourself. Upstairs is a separate rental unit called UP ON MAIN (its vrbo listing number is 3016393)

This beautifully unique space is the (completely private) lower 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 and a large flatscreen TV with an expansive cable package.

The kitchenette has a sink, a small fridge, a coffee maker, a toaster oven, a microwave, a single electric burner, plenty of plates/bowls/utensils/flatware and a large dining table.

Bedroom two has a full size bed, a flatscreen TV with DVD player and a widely varied collection of around 50 DVDs, plus a ridiculously large selection of books, board games, puzzles, etc. Bedroom two is divided from the living room area in the front of the property with a large wall of blackout curtains.

The bathroom has a shower, toilet, and sink. Please be advised that the bathroom is directly off of bedroom two, so guests sleeping in bedroom one will have to pass through to get to the bathroom.

In the living area, you’ll find a very cool double sided couch and a flatscreen TV with a Nintendo 64 hooked up with four controllers for maximum multiplayer fun. We have three games for you here: Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, and Goldeneye 64. It’s vintage Nintendo at its best!!! There’s also an acoustic guitar on the wall near the front door if you’re feeling musical.


Important info to know about your stay:

- Down on Main does not have any designated parking spots! However there’s low cost, easily accessible paid parking lots less than a block away in each direction on Main Street.

- 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 front door (63 North Main 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.

- Upstairs is a completely separate unit called Up on Main which is also available to rent through VRBO. 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 (which runs along the back side of the property) 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.

- As with all vacation rental properties, guests acknowledge that activity on the property carries with it the potential for injury due to unfamiliar terrain and layout. The topography in the area has frequent changes in elevation requiring steps and walkways that conform to the landscape, therefore, please use caution and familiarize yourself with all areas of the property. We keep the property maintained, although, all liability is waived and you are accepting the property with no assurances. Emergencies are very rare, yet, it is smart to be prepared for inclement weather, natural disaster, or injury when traveling.

- Cancellation policy: Travelers who cancel at least 30 days before check-in will get back 100% of the amount they've paid. If they cancel between 14 and 30 days before check-in, they'll get back 50%. Otherwise, they won't get a refund. Please plan accordingly. Please take precautions against COVID prior to travel.

- Please read this entire listing before booking. It is essential that you read the details to ensure that this property will meet your expectations. Please make sure the amenities that you expect are listed.

A Nostalgic Journey in this 1885 Grocery store
We had a wonderful time during our stay in Eureka Springs. The accommodations were comfortable. Its an historic building, original floors and a few upgrades. The location is perfect. A short walk gets you to most of the shops and eateries downtown; and a short drive gets you to many of the attractions. We enjoyed evening walks, chatting in the park and people watching as they walked by the unit. I love reading and I love books. There is a wall of books. Name the genre/subject. You will find it! We spent several evenings sipping wine and reading on the comfy cool sofa! You will enjoy the nostalgic journey in this historic 1885 building.

Down on Main was everything we could have hoped for. In the center of everything and with a uniqueness all it's own, it was a perfect base for an Ozark getaway.

Great location
It was a really cool apartment that was extremely close to the main Eureka Springs hub. We stayed for just a few days but each day, it was super easy to walk into the main area, shop, go back, take a break, and then go back out again a few times during the day. The actual place is very spacious, clean, and had a lot of room. We played a bit of Mario Kart on the N64, used the fridge for a lot of the food we got in town, and relaxed a lot as well. Very nice place to be in and would love to go back again!

Great spot
This converted store front was a really unique place! The place is very large with lots of space! It is a little rustic, which is expected from such a quaint old building. The only issue I had was the two TVs in the main room aren’t hooked up to any type of antenna or anything. Not enough of an issue to reduce my rating since I only have the TV on when getting ready for bed or getting ready in the morning, but it would have been nice. There were DVDs available, though. Overall, a great place to stay in Eureka and very convenient to everything. Owner was very quick to respond to any communications!

Unique and walking distance to everything
Loved the old building. It dates back to 1885 and was a Harps grocery store back in the day. I would stay there again and would highly recommend it to others, especially if you’re looking for something unique with history.

Best location!!
This was the cutest most unique property. The location was absolutely perfect. You could walk to everything. I was worried about the parking, but it really wasn’t a big deal after we got there. There’s parking lots all around and free parking after 6:00 right in front of your room.The communication was wonderful, the check-in was easy it was a fun property and we will definitely be back. Thank you.
