No Need to Leave
I've been vacationing at the Wanderoo Lodge since '21. Between the pool, Gravel Bar and Grill and the fire pit, you really don't need to go anywhere! It's always a fun time at the Wanderoo.

Very quirky, cool, old style motel...very Eureka Springs. The staff was great, the bar was fun and had great food. The rooms would be much better if they didn't have carpet in them, it made the rooms a little musty Overall I would stay there again.

The vibe of the motel was unique, funky and welcoming. Felt completely safe with my two children. We arrived right after a bunch of rain and some minor flooding. The manager (owner?) made it right for us and made sure our carpet was clean.
