Owner is super nice and the cabins are perfect. We stayed in the Bayberry cabin and it had everything we needed. No need to bring your kitchen with you their's is fully equipped. The lake view is amazing and animals are friendly. By the way...every morning and evening we saw a family of deer walking through the property....just a beautiful experience. We had wonderful time!

Had a wonderful stay at Lake Lucerne. I rented the Dandelion and a family member had the one RV site. The Dandelion was well appointed, clean, and had Great Lake views. Loved the jacuzzi tub room overlooking the lake. The bed was very comfortable and had high quality sheets and blankets, including a down comforter. Very close to town, but just far enough out to enjoy the quiet and scenery. A family of deer hung out between my deck and the lake both days.

We had the Bayberry cottage and found it very comfortable with just a few minor issues, such as the master bedroom being very bright in the early morning (despite curtains; bring an eye mask). As a "resort", it didn't quite meet my definition, which to me means a variety of amenities; even the boats weren't ready for renting, which is something I did want to do. However, the term may be more of a nod to it's 20th- century past, when it really was a hopping place with a lot to do. (Read the info binder about its history; really interesting!) Right now, it is mainly a quiet place for rest and relaxation, which may be just what a lot of guests need. The "ranch" part refers to alpacas, llamas, a HUGE turkey, and a donkey or mule, and you can go up to the fence and watch them, as well as walk a couple of trails. I also saw people fishing. Everything else was good, and I especially appreciated the helpfulness of one of the employees when I got some splinters. She went out of her way to bring me what I needed to get them out. I saw a lot of inns, b&b's, cabins, and lodges while we wandered around Eureka Springs, and most of them are unappealing and/or on busy roads. I was glad we picked Lake Lucerne for a quiet, off-the-beaten path place to go.

The clovertree had a delightful, welcoming, and cozy atmosphere. The cottage had some beautiful antique pieces, which just added to the atmosphere of the whole experience. The ranch was peaceful and so nice to return to after exploring the area. Kitchen had everything we needed for "simpler" vacation cooking. There was plenty of comfortable seating in the cottage. Deck was nice in the morning--lots of birds to hear and watch. So glad we chose Lake Lucerne for our stay.

We took a last min trip out to Lake Lucerne over new years, it was a last minute decision to get away but not go too far. We live in the northwest arkansas area and although we've visited Eureka many times we had never stayed out there and we had not discovered the magic of Lake Lucerne cabins. We stayed in Dandelion and it was absolutely perfect. Great views of the lake from the kitchen, both bedrooms and the patio of course. It's a lovely and quiet place for a getaway that takes about an hour to get to. We had the added awesome experience of meeting some of the staff and the owner and I cannot tell you how lovely and welcoming they were. We walked up to see the Alpacas on the property and they were adorable. The property has great opportunity for walks both around the lake or just generally on the grounds. It is incredibly peaceful out there. On top of that it is very close to the Turpentine Creek Rescue and if you have not been there yet, you must also visit. Overall it was a wonderful experience, a quiet and restful reset for the new year. It is certainly worth a visit and we will definitely be back.

We recently stayed at the Dandelion Cabin at Lake Lucerne Resort and Ranch in Eureka Springs. The cabin’s quaint and inviting atmosphere impressed us from the moment we arrived. The rustic decor and cozy furnishings made us feel right at home. Although the fireplace was unfortunately closed for the season, the cabin provided everything we needed for a pleasant stay. The view of the lake from the porch was somewhat obstructed and obscured by foliage. While we didn’t use the kitchen and opted for takeout instead, we thoroughly enjoyed the peace and relaxation of the cabin. However, the close proximity of the cabins made it feel more like a campground with houses rather than a secluded retreat. The resort is managed with a virtual assistant rather than onsite staff, which efficiently addressed our needs. The road to reach the cabin is rough and challenging, so we recommend using a truck or SUV instead of a car. Additionally, we felt that the price did not quite align with the quality and experience. Given these factors, we do not plan to return.

We stayed in the Kingfisher cabin over valentine's weekend. It was lovely . I loved the wood fireplace, the whole cottage was wonderful. The decor was just right, so many little antique touches. It was very clean and had everything you needed. Will definitely stay there again.

My wife and I stayed in one of the cabins here this past weekend to celebrate our anniversary. It was just what we needed. A well appointed and comfortable cabin that overlooked a beautiful little lake. Surrounded by trees and far enough from the main road for it to be so wonderfully quiet. We can't wait to go back! I would highly recommend this place if your wanting a weekend getaway or even for a week stay!
