Property Features and Assets:
The restaurant – designed by a world renowned architect – incorporates solar energy principles with two-story floor to ceiling windows, and offers sweeping views of the landscaped grounds and water features. The building is approximately 8,000 square feet spanning two levels, and seats 220 guests. Highlights include three private rooms available for rent (one specifically designed for wine tasting events), an open kitchen format, and wine cellar serving an award-winning selection of over 200 wines from around the world. Couples can even reserve a table in the wine cellar for a unique and unforgettable private dining experience.
The hotel is located in an exquisitely restored building with roots dating back to the Civil War; a portion of the structure is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The main facility is approximately 22,000 square feet, with a total of 46 rooms, including eight designer suites. Each room is a thoughtfully considered sanctuary, beautifully appointed with original artwork and furnishings, fine linens and luxury down to the smallest detail. This boutique hotel offers all the modern conveniences of a world class hotel in the ambiance of a country inn.
The hotel and restaurant are situated on 4.5 meticulously landscaped acres. A stream dissects the property and feeds into two large Koi ponds. The spectacular grounds and facilities are a local favorite for weddings and social events, as well as photographers who are inspired by the picturesque beauty and history that are reflected in this unique and beloved destination.
Market Competition and Expansion:
Once considered a well-kept secret, Northwest Arkansas now has one of the fastest growing economies in the country, and is consistently ranked as one of the “most livable” metropolitan areas in the U.S. Several chain hotels are located in the surrounding area. However, this business represents the only establishment of its kind in the state of Arkansas. Travelers would have to go to the neighboring states of Texas or Tennessee to find an equivalent hospitality experience.
