Neighborhoods comprised of graciously-restored and preserved Victorian homes and cottages are set against a background of thickly wooded mountains. Quaint? Yes? Charm-chocked? Of course. Gorgeously-landscaped pocket parks feature multiple natural springs from which the town gets its name. Turn-of-the-century B&Bs, cozy retro cottages and stately hotels offer a wide variety of accommodations, most within walking distance of historic downtown with its maze of steep, twisty streets and limestone sidewalks dating back to the horse-and-buggy days. Most come during the town’s three-annual Diversity Weekends (Spring, Summer and Fall) because, as the locals say, “One Pride weekend just isn’t enough for us.” “Our secret’s out,” says the city’s Gay Business Guild (another first in the state), “not even our streets are straight!”įor gay travelers, it has long been the premier travel destination in the Mid-South region of the country, drawing thousands of gay visitors each year from across the U.S., particularly those who have been-there-done-that in better known coastal gay resorts. This Victorian-era village on the National Register of Historic Places has been making major gay history and headlines for decades. With a disproportionately large LGBT population and dozens of gay-owned B&Bs, restaurants, bars, art galleries and trendy shops, this scenic little resort town nestled the Ozark Mountains is also the first and only city in the state with a Domestic Partnership Registry (open to non-residents) and the first and only city in the state to officially endorse marriage equality. To anyone who has visited the Gay Capital of the Ozarks, it came as no surprise. It couldn’t have happened to a nicer-or gayer-place. True, the Arkansas Supreme Court put the process on hold (temporarily), but history had been made in this tiny gaycation mecca and the news went viral. Earlier this year, Eureka Springs became the first city in the first state in the South in which same-sex couples could be lawfully married.
