THE ABSOLUTE BEST B&B ANYWHERE!

My husband and I travel extensively, and always try to stay in a B & B. On a recent impulsive visit to Eureka Springs, we first stopped at a B & B that bills itself as the best....thankfully they didn't have any vacancies (dusty smelling and uninspiring).

We called as we passed Mount Victoria and they had a last-minute cancellation, and it turned out to be the most wonderful stay at a B & B we've ever had. Not only is the immaculate exterior reminiscent of the "Old South," but you walk into a clean, fresh-smelling and beautifully decorated interior.

From the smallest detail (a library of current dvds) to a gourmet breakfast (we chose their option of breakfast -in-bed...what a treat!!!), we were treated with warmth and genuine hospitality! Chris and Lisa should write a book on the details, which make a Bed and Breakfast memorable and delightful to their guests. We are now looking at our schedule to see when we can come back!!

Larry & Cindy Cole, Benton, AR

Chris & Lisa,

Thank you so much for inviting us into your beautiful home. We have had such a wonderful stay...just the "R&R" we needed. And the food...delicious! Charlton loved playing with Pong. We had to allow for an extra 20 minutes to get out the door each time so he could pet Pong on the front porch. You have definitely made our honeymoon wonderful. Great food, great wine, and the romantic outings...we can’t wait to come back for our 1st anniversary!

August 12, 2008 ~ Megan & Charlon ~ Tahlequah, OK

Chris & Lisa,

Thank you SO much for making our honeymoon here in Eureka the best is could possibly be. As my new husband and I sit here on our last day we sit (in our dream-like Suite) and think how this day has really set the bar for the rest of our marriage. The breakfasts were all amazing! As well as the hospitality! As I reminisced of when I was a little girl living here your B&B reminded me of why I came back...the beauty! My husband and I both thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Mount Victoria and will surely be back in the future.

August 9 - 12, 2008 ~ Michelle & Matthew ~ Orlando, FL

We had a great time at your beautiful B&B. Chris, you did a super job on the breakfasts - WOW! We’ve decided it’s the best B&B we’ve stayed at! Telling others about it will be a pleasure and we hope to be back very soon.

August 5 - 6, 2008 ~ Bill & Debbie ~ Rogers, AR

Chris & Lisa,

Thanks for sharing your home with us for several days. The breakfasts were wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing Ping & Poing with us! August 5, 2008 ~ Mary & Billy ~ San Marcos, TX We have had a wonderful tiem here and loved the house and food. You two have been so open and friendly and well, the food...perfect!! A lot of it and perfect!! Ping & Pong helped with my missing our animals. The room is fab, the food fab, the host & hostess fab! Next time we come back we will stay here at our new "home away from home." We have been married 18 years TODAY! You have made this a lovely, special trip! We stay at a lot of B&B’s when we travel and this one is at the TOP!

Thank you ~ Nancy & Steve (Lee’s Summit, MO) August 4, 2008

Lisa & Chris,

We had a wonderful stay at your beautiful B&B. Breakfast every morning was awesome! Our compliments to the Chefs. Your animals are so sweet and made us feel at home. You were both great hostess & host - we thank you for that.

We’ll be back! August 1, 2008 ~ John & Denise ~ Tulsa, OK

July 28, 2008 ~ Kiley & Lisa ~ Lawrence, KS

Dear Chris & Lisa,

Thanks for opening your home to us. We sincerely enjoyed our 2 day stay-ca-tion. This was a welcome (and much needed!) change from our busy lives of phones, emails & Blackberries which we happily shut off. We are already looking forward to our next visit!!

July 27, 2008 ~ Rod & Larrie ~ Memphis, TN

July 23 - 26, 2008 ~ David & Tammy ~ Alabaster, AL

Lisa & Chris,

Thank you for making our stay here so memorable. It’s been a long time since Kurt & I have been able to spend time along without the kids. This was the PERFECT getaway for us. You hospitality made us feel very welcomed. We enjoyed the breakfasts and the fabulous desserts. Thanks again for the dinner at Ermilio’s & getting us tickets for the Passion Play. You’re great hosts!!

July 21 - 22, 2008 ~ Kurt & Angela ~ S. Lyon, MI

We had a wonderful "anniversary" vacation at Mount Victoria. Everything was perfect and just like we remembered from last year. It was a thrill for us to come back to Eureka. This place left a strong impression on us. We look forward to seeing you again next year!

July 18, 2008 ~ Andy & Amanda ~ Tulsa, OK

Dear Chris & Lisa,

Thank you so much for a lovely evening. This was our first experience with a Bed & Breakfast and it was well worth it. This breakfast was awesome, as was the cake. The room was perfect, along with unmatched hospitality. The experience made our 2nd anniversary one to remember. We now wish we would have planned to stay 2 or 3 days and not just 1. Thanks so much and we’ll be back.

July 16, 2008 ~ Dusty & Melinda ~ Sarcoxie, MO

Lisa & Chris,

Thanks so much for making our 1st anniversary wonderful! The was our first time staying in a Bed & Breakfast and it was wonderful. It was nice visiting with you - you made us feel at home. The room was wonderful. I love the decor. The food was fabulous and thank you so much for the Spa day! I fell in love with Ping. Congrats on your upcoming wedding. We will definitely be back.

July 16 - 17, 2008 ~ Dawn & Davis ~ Springfield, MO

WOW! Loved this place - loved this town! You two have really created something special here. Thanks for sharing your home and stories with us. Congratulations on the B&B awards - you deserve them all and many, MANY more. "Eureka" should be renamed "Utopia."

July 14 - 16, 2008 ~ Paul & Tammy ~ Mabank, TX

Chris & Lisa,

We had a fabulous, relaxing visit thanks to you! The accomodations were wonderful and the breakfasts were OUTSTANDING! We had 3 generations - Grandmother, Mother, Daughter) to enjoy your beautiful surroundings. We loved Ping & Pong!

Thanks for your fabulous hospitality! ~ Susan, Lindsey & Wanda

Top notch - best of the best - certainly the place to stay in Eureka Springs to celebrate a 60th birthday! Thank you so much for all the special touches! My birthday was wondeful. You two are special people. The best place to eat is HERE! Wonderful, wonderful breakfast!!

July 12, 2008 ~ Carolyn & Larry ~ Little Rock, AR

What a wonderfully peaceful night! Just what we needed before our second kiddo arrives next month. The bed was so comfty, the bath sooooo relaxing and the food so yummy! (I had 2 pieces of that chocolate cake Lisa!) We’ll be recommending you to EVERYONE including my pregnancy buddy group!

July 12, 2008 - Amanda & Rob ~ Prairie Grove, AR

Lisa & Chris,

Thank you for a very memorable and relaxing getaway. The Jackson Suite is a nostalgic step back in time and so beautifully decorated. Breakfast on the veranda was a culinary delight and such a lovely presentation that we took a picture to show our son who fancies himself a Chef! What a wonderful way to celebrate our 40th anniversary - four children and nine grandchildren - this is their gift to us. We will certainly recommend the Mount Victoria as we pass on this treasure to others. Thank you for your gracious hospitality.

July 10 - 13, 2008 ~ Rick & Sue ~ Lake St. Louis, MO

Chris & Lisa,

Your home has a lovely spirit - gently it lulled me to sleep. The framed poetry on my pillow a harbinger of sweet dreams to come. I woke this morning to the sound of a gentle rain - the birds are singing, probably looking for breakfast. What will Chris prepare for us? I’m thinking "Green Eggs & Ham" for a feel a little as if I’ve escaped into a land of fairy dust, where anything is possible. A perfect retreat from the world - a little reading room that looks out over the trees - a perfect place to sort and gather thoughts - to string a few words on a page to leave behind. Thanks for sharing - and your wonderful care of us - and this lovely home.

July 9, 2008 ~ Janell

You have a gorgeous home! We have had a wonderful time during our stay. Show evenings on the front porch under Ping & Pong’s watch are a great way to end the day. Your fantastic breakfast was a great way to start the next day!

July 9, 2008 ~ Kristopher & Stacy ~ Sherwood, AR

Dear Chris & Lisa,

Thanks so much for your hospitality. Everything was simply great. We wanted to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary in a simple but elegant atmosphere and we found it here. You both have a wonderful place here. We pray taht God will continue to bless your endeavors and most of all that He will bless your upcoming marriage for many years to come. Chris, you have a gift! The food is beyond words. We truly enjoyed the food and friendly conversations. Thank you guys for everything. May the wind be forever at your back door.

July 3 - 6 ~ Jimmie & Pat ~ Hernando, Mississippi

You’ll never know what a godsend you two have been for us! With our home remodel and catasrophe left behind for a luxurious and relaxed stay recharged us and saved our sanity! Your cooking is out of this world - worth blowing the diet! Wish we could stay forever - we will definitely be telling the whole city of Enid to stay with you when they visit! More than makes up for our botched honeymoon in Eureka Springs 15 years ago - hope we come back quicker than 15 years next time.

Clint & Anjanette - Enid, OK

Lisa and Chris,

Thank you very much for everything you both did to help make our proposal weekend extra special. I knew coming back to Mount Victoria would be the perfect place to do this and you both proved me right. Lisa, thank you for your wonderful suggestions and for getting everything set up for me. It was so nice to have Friday all planned out and to know you both were helping with everything.

We love reading the room book and seeing all of the anniversary write-ups. It was nice to put in an “engagement” write-up. I know we'll be able to put many anniversary reports in that book through the years as well. I can't wait to look back years from now and see the first writing we did. You will hopefully see us every year, but maybe not next Summer as we will probably be doing "the wedding thing!"

Again, I can't say enough about how appreciative we are. Lisa, thank you for your guidance and help with everything. Chris, it was great getting to spend time with you and have so many good conversations. You were very helpful and of course the breakfasts were amazing as always.

Again, thank you and we can't wait to come back. The two of you, Ping, Pong and the Inn itself will always have a special place in our hearts since you were all there and taking care of us on our greatest weekend together.

June 27, 2009 ~ Brett & Erin ~ Kansas City, Missouri

Lisa and Chris,

We were really surprised at how beautiful our room was and all the great details that made our stay so comfortable. I got so stuffed from the cookies - and breakfast - just delicious. Thank you so much for your hospitality and making our honeymoon getaway so lovely!

June 14 . 2009 ~ Kylie & Brian ~ Springfield, Missouri

Chris and Lisa,

We have had a wonderful weekend getaway at Mount Victoria! Thank you for making our room, The Jackson, so nice and for all the special added touches. We enjoyed visiting with you both and will now have a new memory of Eureka Springs.

Thank You,

June 13, 2009 ~ Gayle & Jim ~ Owasso, Oklahoma

Lisa and Chris,

Great time - great food - beautiful room & good company!

We wish we could have stayed longer!! Next time we are up this way, we will plan on at least a two-night stay! Thanks for your wonderful hospitality and a very memorable experience!

June 12, 2009 ~ Patti & Billy ~ Shreveport, Louisiana

Chris and Lisa,

Thank you so much for helping us celebrate our tenth anniversary! We loved everything about our stay from the beautiful room to our awesome breakfasts to the endless supply of Diet Coke, Coke and chocolate popcorn balls! We look forward to coming back again!

June 12, 2009 ~ Nanci & Matt ~ Edmond, Oklahoma

Lisa and Chris,

This was our first time to stay at a B&B and we’ll definitely be back! We loved how you guys thought of everything down to the last detail. Thank you for making us feel so welcome!

June 8, 2009 ~ Callie & Charlie ~ Conway, Arkansas

Chris and Lisa,

This has been an extraordinary experience for us. Our first B&B stay...we could not have asked for anything better. Your Home is beautiful, relaxing and we enjoyed sitting on the front veranda talking with you guys! Breakfast was so delicious and now I will have to experiment and learn how to bake those awesome cookies for Bruce. Anyone that asks about Eureka Springs I will have no choice but to refer them to Mount Victoria.

Best of luck always ~

June 7, 2009 ~ Janice & Bruce ~ Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Chris and Lisa,

Craig and I needed rest, good food and a safe haven from our stressful lives! We are very grateful of your special gifts of cooking, decorating and service. We will be back. I hope to bring my children so they can see where we stayed and meet you.

Keep up the good work! We need a safe place to go and relax.

June 7, 2009 ~ Michelle & Craig ~ Coweta, Oklahoma
Proprietors of Evergreen Hospice ~ Tulsa, Oklahoma

Dear Chris and Lisa,

Thank you for the wonderful time that you helped us have. After being married for ten years and life is full of chaos and noise (we have two small children) it was great to be able to hide and have this peaceful place to get away. You have truly made your Inn just that! Peaceful. Chad wanted to say.....Great breakfasts and if love all things good, then you have to stay at Mount Victoria!

June 7 - June 11, 2009 ~ Teresa & Chad ~ Versailles, Missouri

Chris & Lisa,

No words can express how both of you made us feel like a part of this house on our 25th wedding anniversary. We had a great time enjoying all the extras at this B&B - especially the cake, cookies and extra drinks, etc. Your hospitality and great breakfasts were more than we could have asked for on our getaway. We will recommend your B&B to our friends and relatives.

June 6, 2009 ~ Cindy & Steve ~ Iowa City, Iowa

Chris & Lisa,

Thank you for hosting our honeymoon! We enjoyed our stay here tremendously - of course breakfast was a new treat every morning and the friendly, welcoming details are incredible. Thank you for opening your Home so well. We definitely hope to be back!

June 5, 2009 ~ Lila & Noah

Dear Chris and Lisa,

Thank you so much for everything. The hard work that you put into your B&B shows in every detail that we have experienced. From the decor to the food, to the comforts to the friendly smiles and conversation. Everything was perfect. We hope to make it back again someday. The best of luck to you two and thank you for a wonderful weekend and experience...we could not have asked for more.

June 5 - June 7, 2009 ~ Andrea & Phil ~ Houston, Texas

Lisa & Chris,

Beautiful home - excellent food. That was the best lemon cake we’ve ever had! The lemon cake was absolute heaven. Thanks for making our baby-moon so special.

June 4 . 2009 ~ Amanda & Jakob ~ Denton, Texas

Chris and Lisa,

This has been of the most relaxing vacations we have had in a long time. We enjoyed celebrating our 36th anniversary at your beautiful B&B. The cake was wonderful. The breakfasts outstanding. It was so quiet and peaceful. Thanks so very much.

June 2, 2009 ~ The Hendersons ~ Maumelle, Arkansas

Chris and Lisa,

Thank you for making our first trip to Eureka Springs so wonderful. Such a great change to staying in a hotel. You are both wonderful hosts, and we totally enjoyed our time away from our busy lives! We had a nice, relaxing 2nd anniversary. Thank you both. Best wishes always.

P.S. We will be telling all our friends to stay here!

June 1, 2009 ~ Pat & Jami ~ Gardner, Kansas

Chris and Lisa,

Thank you for making our 24th wedding anniversary stay perfect. Everything from the accommodations to the delicious breakfasts was wonderful!

June 1, 2009 ~ Becky & Darrell ~ Republic, Missouri

Chris and Lisa,

We had a most fabulous time! The attention to details was on mark. Our entire package was perfect. Strawberries and chocolate - yum. Phil and I loved the cranberry cake. We each had way too many pieces! Breakfast could not have been better! We really felt like guests in your Home. We cannot wait to stay again. Thanks for making your Home our Home.

May 31, 2009 ~ Natalie & Phil ~ Springfield, Missouri

Lisa and Chris,

We had a wonderful time. You both are great hosts. We enjoyed your breakfasts the most! Chris, you know what you’re doing in the kitchen! With cigars on the veranda for dessert each evening, it was a perfect stay.

Thank you both for your hospitality. We hope to make the journey back soon.

May 31, 2009 ~ Bob & Leslie ~ Springfield, Missouri

Dear Chris and Lisa,

I wanted to share a wonderful weekend with my expecting wife for our anniversary. You gave us all that and more. I never expected this nice of a place or the service we received. The breakfast both days was amazing, the room cozy and romantic. You really outdo yourselves here. I look forward to many more getaways to Mount Victoria.

May 31, 2009 ~ Terry & Michelle ~ Perryton, Texas

Lisa and Chris,

Thanks for opening your beautiful Home to us. Our 25th anniversary will always be remembered with a big smile because of our time spent here.

Thanks so much.

May 31, 2009 ~ Jamie & Tim ~ Conway, Arkansas

Dear Chris and Lisa,

We’re sitting on the veranda in the morning with about thirty minutes until check-out.

First, let me address the other guests who are reading this journal, just after check-in, who at this moment are enjoying the lusciousness of the bedding and the coziness of The Mazaret Suite.

Take time to appreciate all Mount Victoria offers - observe how Lisa has put together the decor throughout the Inn and how Chris and she maintain the grounds. Sit on the veranda as much as you can - taking in the whole experience which includes the lighting on the church across the street and an old Victorian house on the other side of the street. All of this is enjoyment is hard to measure but Chris and Lisa have “pasted” these elements together, without ever once calling attention to themselves - so a word of expectation - prepare to SAVOR a touch of luxury - TRUE LUXURY - which is a delicious comfort!

Now to Chris and Lisa -- thanks for making our 18th anniversary so memorable!!

May 29, 2009 ~ Anne & Winston ~ Springfield, Missouri

Chris & Lisa,

Matthew and I so enjoyed your beautiful Home and exploring the area that we didn’t do what we planned before coming! Originally, I was most excited by the notions of kayaking and hiking but once here all we wanted to do was explore the town and spend time at the B&B. We could have sat on your verandas and enjoyed the porch swing for hours (actually, we did and it may well have been my favorite thing we did in Eureka Springs!

It’s very peaceful here and we so enjoyed the break from life’s fast pace to relax and enjoy each day.

Our room was exquisite - a warm elegance penetrates The Jackson Suite, which I will certainly remember when I think back on our “belated” honeymoon.

We truly appreciate your hospitality and laid back flexibility. You certainly enhanced our stay in Eureka Springs.

Thank you for opening your Home to us and ensuring that we felt welcome. I’m sure Matthew and I will always fondly remember our stay at Mount Victoria!

May 25 - May 28, 2009 ~ Ashley & Matthew ~ Colorado Springs, Colorado

Chris & Lisa,

Thank you for making our wedding all I wanted it to be! You made everything perfect. We felt like we were staying with friends!

Happiness always!

May 25, 2009 ~ Christine & Jon ~ Tulsa, Oklahoma

Lisa and Chris,

Our 5-year wedding anniversary could not have been spent in a better place. The bathtub and duck friends were a fantastic treat! Breakfast was AMAZING and the hospitality made us feel like family. We look forward to next time!

May 24, 2009 ~ Jenny & Jason ~ Tulsa, Oklahoma

Chris & Lisa,

Thank you for an amazing stay. The room is beautiful and the food was amazing! We will cherish our memories forever.

May 22, 2009 ~ Tonya & Wes ~ Russellville, Arkansas

Chris & Lisa,

Only had one day with you.....wish it was more! The blondie brownies were fabulous and so was breakfast and our room!

May 21, 2009 ~ Robyn & Warwick ~ Austin, Texas & Brisbane, Australia

Chris and Lisa,

Thank you for your hospitality during our stay in Eureka Springs. Your beautiful Home was the perfect spot for our Mother - Daughter getaway and my first B&B experience.

We enjoyed your company and will remember Mount Victoria our next visit to Eureka Springs.

May 20, 200 ~ Susan & Whitney ~ Tulsa, Oklahoma & Indanapolis, Indiana

Chris & Lisa,

Thank you for your hospitality. It was so nice to have no worries for a week. You have a beautiful Home and prepare amazing breakfasts! I’m sure we’ll be back for more.

Thank you again!

May 15,2009 ~ Loren & Tyler ~ Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Chris & Lisa,

We’ve had the most amazing honeymoon here at the gorgeous Mount Victoria. This is my first visit to Eureka Springs and I assure you it will never be forgotten. Your Home is an asylum for ones searching for a haven of retreat and relaxation.

Chris, the food was absolutely superb! We found a new delight in waking each morning to the robust aroma of coffee.

Lisa, your warming hospitality made everything very comfortable as well as the sinful cake!

Thanks again for everything and we will most certainly be back!

May 12, 2009 ~ Audra & Clinton ~ Paragould, Arkansas

During our short stay in Eureka Springs, I’ve learned that words used do not always describe reality. If the word “vintage” is used to help name the store, it will not describe the goods they sell...its the same withe Ozarka bottled water...the water that fills the bottle now hails from Texas rathe than local springs.

But this B&B is different - it is a place that is true to its words about itself -- and because it is grounded in truth, becomes more than it claims to be.

Put simply, Mount Victoria Bed & Breakfast was the best part of my Eureka Springs experience. Each day I came “home” to immerse myself in simple pleasures...

Sitting on the outside veranda to enjoy the breeze and carry my worries away

Getting lost in a borrowed book or movie where I was snug in my borrowed bed

Enjoying Lisa’s baked desserts and Chris’ tasty breakfasts

Without even dipping my toe in the famed local waters, I am healed of my everyday worries and cares from just being in this lovely place.

Thank you for sharing all of this with us -- and I know even as I leave these words on this page, they do not even begin to describe the beauty and quite reality of Mount Victoria.

May all your dreams come true.

May 12, 2009 ~ Janell West

Lisa & Chris,

Thank you for making our first trip to Eureka Springs a special and memorable stay. The room was well decorated and very cozy. Your Home is located in a very convenient location to dining and shopping. You definitely made my boyfriend’s birthday a great one! Lisa, your hospitality was great and your cake was delicious and Chris, the breakfasts were amazing!

Thank you again for a wonderful time, we will definitely be back!

May 8, 2009 ~ Stacy & Billy ~ Springfield, Missouri

Chris and Lisa,

It is a regret that we cannot stay longer with you. The room is so peacefully cozy. We again enjoyed Eureka Springs - our 3rd visit - and a trip down memory lane. We had honeymooned here some 33 years ago.

The breakfast was beyond belief. Thank you for your hospitality.

May 6, 2009 ~ Diana & Steve ~ Dallas, Texas

Chris & Lisa,

We appreciated your warm hospitality during our very brief stay

The best memory will be sitting on the veranda and enjoying the sunshine and your beautiful gardens.

You have a lovely property and we enjoyed our Suite.

Hope to see you again!

May 6, 2009 ~ Linda & Neil ~ Calgary, Alberta Canada

Chris & Lisa,

Thank you for a wonderful weekend. This was our first Bed & Breakfast experience. The room was beautiful and the breakfasts were outstanding. You guys are very special people. We look forward to coming and staying with you again.

Thanks for what you do!

May 3, 2009 ~ Lee Ann & Randy ~ Decatur, Mississippi

Chris & Lisa,

We had such a wonderful, relaxing "Babymoon!" The room (The Clayton) was fabulous as was your hospitality. The Babymoon package (Pickles & Ice Cream) was everything we needed to feel totally relaxed and prepared for our baby's arrival at the end of this month! We are excited to tell our friends and family about your Bed & Breakfast and are already making plans to come back in the near future!

May 3 . 2009 ~ Ray & Rachel ~ St. Louis, Missouri

Lisa & Chris,

Becca & I had such a wonderful time here in Eureka Springs. Your Bed & Breakfast was the icing on the cake. You truly made us feel at home. We hope to return soon - especially for the breakfast!

May 3 . 2009 ~ Jordan & Becca ~ Forth Worth, Texas

Lisa & Chris,

Thank you for opening your Home to us and welcoming us with such hospitality. We wish we could have stayed longer to fully unwind from life's frantic pace. We hope to return in the future and stay longer. You have been so gracious - the food fabulous - and the room (The Saunders) romantic and relaxing.

April 27 . 2009 ~ Joy & Brian ~ Rogers, Arkansas

Chris & Lisa,

Our children picked a wonderful place for us to celebrate our 40th Anniversary - The Clayton room is really "cool!" Our first visit to Eureka Springs couldn't have been nicer - even the weather was perfect. Thank you for your amazing hospitality.

April 26 . 2009 ~ Art & Diane

Lisa & Chris,

We really enjoyed our room, The Saunders. I loved the way you have decorated and your linens were amazing as well. The tea and cookies made it seem like home.

The breakfast was the best we have ever had - it was wonderful! Your Home offers a feast for all the senses! The DVD library was such a treat! We will keep your card for future visits and recommend you to all of our friends and family.

Thanks so much!

April 24 . 2009 ~ Sharon & Steve ~ Springfield, Missouri

Chris & Lisa,

Thank you so much for an outstanding weekend. We love the room (The Saunders) and decor and were very comfortable. The food and hospitality were amazing - we will definitely recommend Mount Victoria to our family and friends.

April 24 - April 26 . 2009 ~ Jill & Jason ~ Arkansas

Chris & Lisa,

We had a wonderful weekend at your Bed & Breakfast. Mount Victoria is a very beautiful place. Our room (The Saunders) was cozy and romantic, and just as everyone else has said, the breakfasts were amazing!

Thanks for the wonderful time - we hope to be back.

April 12 . 2009 ~ Lori & Arlin ~ Overland Park, Kansas

Chris & Lisa,

Your Home is amazing! It's so beautiful and relaxing - thanking you is the least we can do! You two are both to inviting and caring. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. It took us away from all of the chaos back home which was our goal! Breakfast was WONDERFUL! Also, the bed was the closest thing to sleeping on a cloud. We wish our stay was longer than one night but the next time we visit Eureka Springs we will definitely be back here!

April 16 . 2009 ~ Amanda & Terin ~ Springfield, Missouri

Lisa & Chris,

What a wonderful place to spend our 5th Anniversary. We had a great time in Eureka Springs and in this beautiful House. This very private, kid-free weekend was just what we needed. The room (The Mazaret) was just as gorgeous as it looked online and the food was absolutely delicious! Thank you so much!

April 3 - April 5 . 2009 ~ Rachel & Garry ~ Conway, Missouri

Chris & Lisa,

Thank you for an amazing week! We couldn't have enjoyed ourselves more. We can't wait to get home and look at all of our pictures of our amazing week.Our room (The Saunders) was so beautiful and the food was amazing. You were so gracious and helpful with everything from helping with reservations to stocking the fridge with Diet Mountain Dew. Thank you so much for your generosity with making our trip a possibility. We hope to come back in the future.

Thank you for everything!

March 29 - April 5 . 2009 ~ Amy & Kai Soder ~ Fishers, Indiana

THE BEST B&B!

My husband and I went with our son and daughter-in-law to Eureka Springs. They have stayed with Lisa and Chris before. Lisa and Chris are the most amazing hosts, you are welcome from the time you arrive in their driveway till you leave! I love the way they have furnished the Inn and the BREAKFASTS ARE WONDERFUL!!! You will not be disappointed in your visit. Are already planning our next visit.

Chris & Lisa,

Lloyd and I have made so many good memories the past few days thanks to you both. Your warm hospitality and your beautiful Bed & Breakfast made our 33rd Anniversary in Eureka Springs so very special. From sitting on the veranda sharing a glass of wine, your scrumptious cakes, delicious breakfasts, and especially our conversations with you both ...made everything just perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely have to return for another romantic getaway!

March 22 - March 25 . 2009 ~ Veronica & Lloyd ~ Benton, Arkansas

Chris & Lisa,

This was our first time staying at a B&B and let me tell you...it has been a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful experience! We will definitely come back to stay and recommend Mount Victoria to everyone we know. Food...phenomenal!

Thanks again for everything!

March 22 . 2009 ~ Lourdes & Michael

Lisa & Chris,

We were first intimidated by the beauty and elegance of your Bed & Breakfast - however, your laid back attitude made us feel at home! Thank you both for the special touches! You really made my Birthday vacation a dream come true. I am a huge fan of Food Network and their food now looks boring after eating yours! The food and presentation were out of this world. We will be back and will definitely share our experience with our St. Charles friends and family.

March 17 - March 20 . 2009 ~ Judy & Charles ~ St. Charles, Missouri

Chris & Lisa,

Hands down, the best breakfast we've ever had at a B&B. Maybe the best we've EVER had! The room (The Jackson) was great and the huge Jacuzzi was very relaxing. You're excellent hosts with great, laid-back style. Your restaurant recommendations were right on target. We picked your B&B because it had the best looking web site (great job Lisa!) - it turned out to be everything we'd hoped for ....and more!

March 15 - March 16 . 2009 ~ Aaron & Judy ~ Tulsa, Oklahoma

A WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL PLACE

This is one place that we will definitely tell our friends about. When I visit a bed and breakfast, I want to see some history on the walls, I want to feel transported into another place and time; this home did that. It is exquisitely decorated with many of its furnishings belonging to the owners' treasure chest of family heirlooms.

We stayed in the Jackson Suite which held a beautiful, old bed and armoire, a huge Jacuzzi tub and great light coming in through the bedroom' s 3 windows. Since this was our third anniversary, my husband spoke with Lisa and Chris and had arranged for my favorite flower to be placed on the table along with chocolate-dipped strawberries and a bottle of bubbly. It was the perfect way to celebrate our marriage.

Breakfast the next morning was just as wonderful. The menu included omelets stuffed with spinach, garlic and parmesan, giant FRESH baked muffins (not those mini muffins - this was the Mac Daddy of muffins: B-I-G), turkey sausage links (yes, they' re health conscious, too) and cantaloupe. We chose to dine downstairs but you can opt to have breakfast in your room.

We rather enjoyed the conversation with Lisa, Chris and some of the other guests. If you want pay-per view movies, mini shampoos and a cheap rate, check yourself into the local motel for an equally cheap experience. If you want to enjoy your stay in Eureka Springs, meet some great people and have a rich and lasting experience, call the folks at Mount Victoria. We won' t stay anywhere else.

Erin & Collin - Dallas, TX

Chris & Lisa,

We cannot thank you enough for the wonderful hospitality, thoughtfulness in everything you create and the warmth of a place to relax and rejuvenate our souls (while laughing at all the things we find so comical around us!)

Every year we come to visit it makes us look forward to the next time. Once a year is not nearly enough!

March 17. 2009 ~ CarrLee & Britt ~ Frisco, Texas

Chris and Lisa,

It was great to finally meet the two of you. It was fun chatting with you and just being able to relax. We had a fabulous time - it was very relaxing. We love your Inn and look forward to coming back to visit! Thank you so much for everything!

March 10 . 2009 ~ Jennifer & Rob ~ Warrensburg, Missouri

Chris & Lisa,

Thank you so much for giving us the most exquisite “first experience” with a B&B. We are spoiled now. I can't imagine any other anywhere being better. It's easy to see why you have won so many awards. And, your website although great, doesn't do your Suites justice. Lisa, you're an amazing designer. Chris, all the food was absolutely scrumptious! We look forward to returning again for another amazing weekend!

March 8 . 2009 ~ Arenda & Jack ~ Fort Smith, Arkansas

Chris & Lisa,

This was the perfect getaway weekend for our 13th anniversary! Staying in The Clayton Suite reminded us of our wedding in “The Clayton House back home. Also, the breakfast was absolutely wonderful and reminded us of our trip to Victoria, B.C. Enjoyed our conversations with the two of you and very much enjoyed our stay. ‘Till next time!

February 24 . 2009 ~ Sherrill & Roger ~ Ft. Smith, Arkansas

Chris & Lisa,

Thank you so much for a wonderful Valentine anniversary. Your B&B is truly amazing and we're hoping to celebrate here again in the future.

February 14 . 2009 ~ Karen & Mark ~ Vilonia, Arkansas

Chris and Lisa,

Thank you so very much for treating us to a wonderful weekend. Our stay was truly romantic and relaxing. Your B&B is beautiful and the food was beyond exceptional! Thank you for making our first Eureka Springs visit very memorable.

February 8 . 2009 ~ Jeff & Michelle ~ Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Chris and Lisa,

Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality and letting us be guests in your BEAUTIFUL Home! Our first stay in a B&B couldn't have been any better if we stayed anywhere else! The breakfast, the Suite, all the amazing little details - absolutely perfect! We were looking for something special to celebrate our 5th anniversary and we definitely found it here! We will most certainly tell everyone we know about your lovely establishment and friendly service! Thank you again and “Happy Valentine's Day” to you both!

P.S. We were truly blessed by the awesome, edible artwork you call “breakfast!” Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

February 5 . 2009 ~ Tiffany & Tobias ~ Republic, Missouri

Lisa & Chris,

What a magical Inn you have. We were so excited about our trip and can really say that all our expectations were exceeded. The rooms, linens, your cake and cookies were all so good! Breakfast, Chris, should be written up in more than “Southern Living.”

Really, though, what you have is two people who are so down to earth and friendly that you feel like you've known them forever! This is the diamond in the crown of Mount Victoria.

Thank you for helping make my Birthday so special!

January 11 . 2009 ~ Gina & Randy ~ Tulsa, Oklahoma

Chris & Lisa,

It's been such a wonderful Winter getaway for us! Your warm hospitality coupled with the fabulous rooms and wonderful breakfasts make this a vacation we will not soon forget! It was such a pleasure getting to know both of you. Best of luck and good fortune with everything you do!

January 4. 2008 ~ KarLee & Danny ~ Denton, Texas

Chris & Lisa,

What a treat for us to have stayed in your wonderful B&B. EVERYTHING was fantastic! Your hospitality adn warmth shows that you enjoy what you do! Thanks for sharing with us!

January 3 . 2009 ~ Terry & Nancy ~ Little Rock, Arkansas

Chris and Lisa,

Thank you so much for letting us stay in your fabulous Suite. We had such a relaxing and wonderful 2nd anniversary. The breakfast and cookies were amazing - we both loved it all! We both loved your Home and especially our Suite. I love all the decorations and special little details that make the presentation perfect! We will come back soon and bring people with us! Your B&B comes highly recommended by us!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year~

December 28 . 2008 ~ Anna & Todd

Chris and Lisa,

Thank you for making our Thanksgiving getaway so memorable. The food was every bit as wonderful as we had hoped. Your hospitality was absolutely out of this world. We appreciate all the attention to detail and enjoyed getting to know you and your guests.

Thanks again for such a lovely 4 days. We'll be back - see you in the Spring!

November 26-30 . 2008 ~ Vicki & Jeff ~ Kansas City, Missouri

Chris and Lisa,

Thank you for making our stay a beautiful and wonderful one. I personally will never forget the place the love of my life proposed to me! Troy and I felt as though we were staying in our own home. Chris' breakfast skills are unmatched. Keep up the good work and we will definitely be back!

Thanks!

November 26 . 2008 ~ Troy & Candice

Lisa and Chris,

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here at Mount Victoria. Ya'll went out of your way to make our B&B experience exquisite. Chris, you are amazing Chef! Breakfast was a tantalizing experience in itself. Each day was filled with activities new and exciting! We especially enjoyed dining at The Crescent Hotel, seeing the wild cats at Turpentine Creek, the Ghost Tour and, of course, the neat shops! The atmosphere was very romantic and filled with nostalgia. We loved the historical wealth in Eureka Springs.

Thanks for everything.

November 26 . 2008 ~ Ashley & Michael

This was our first visit to a Bed & Breakfast - just exactly what were looking for. The Jackson Suite is awesome!

The peaceful feeling here is so wonderful. If we had our way we'd move to Eureka Springs and start a little slower pace of living. You are truly blessed to have such a haven for travelers.

Wish we could have stayed another day. This has been an awesome gift to me - Paul knew I had always wanted to come to a B&B here in Eureka Springs so here we are!

We pulled in here last year and asked for directions - little did I know we would be spending some quite, quality time in this sweet atmosphere. Thank you so much for the hospitality and all the little touches that made it a memorable birthday - the birthday breakfast was so sweet - candles and all - and so yummy! My daughter and son-in-law are coming in December - they can hardly wait!

November 20 . 2008 ~ Joyce & Paul

Chris and Lisa,

Thank you so much for helping to make this a wonderfully romantic weekend! We loved staying here and was just the relaxing weekend we were looking for. The breakfasts were delicious! We loved the Jacuzzi tub and bath salts. The restaurants you recommended were fantastic! The best part of all was the beautiful and romantic wedding setup. Thank you so much for helping make that so special! We really enjoyed talking to you ~ thank you for everything.

November 21-23, 2008 ~ Kendra & Jason ~ Sherwood, Arkansas

Thank you for a wonderful stay. You are both delightful and the breakfast was superb! My grandson was on the mark when he suggested we stay here!

Thank you ~

November 21 . 2008 ~ Jawanda & George

Lisa and Chris,

Thank you so much for your hospitality during our stay. This was the perfect place for our 25th Anniversary. The breakfasts were outstanding and the red velvet cookies were mmmmm......good!

November 16-20 . 2008 ~ David & Sheila ~ McDonough, Georgia

Chris and Lisa,

Short and sweet....we'll be back! Just a little more to say...WOW, thank you so much for making my surprise 10th Anniversary getaway a dream come true. We both wish we could stay longer but with four little ones at home, this time is a quick trip but we'll be here again for another romantic getaway.

November 15 . 2008 ~ Julie & Chris ~ Mountain View, Arkansas

Lisa and Chris,

We had a wonderful weekend. Incredibly relaxing. The Christmas lights look beautiful! Chris, you need to put together a breakfast recipe book! Thank ya'll for the wonderful hospitality. Hope to be back again before too long.

November 14-16 . 2008 ~ Skip & Tracy ~ Little Rock, Arkansas

This is our first stay at a Bed & Breakfast and it will not be our last!!! We had a wonderful, romantic experience here. Thanks for the hospitality! We will most definitely be back in the near future and let all our friends and family in on the wonderful breakfast, service and hospitality you provide.

P.S. We adore the Clayton Suite - well done!

November 8 . 2008 ~ Diana & Matt ~ Springfield, Missouri

Lisa and Chris,

We can't thank you enough for a great weekend here in Eureka Springs. Thank you for all your hospitality and delicious food. We enjoyed meeting you as well as the other guests.

November 8. 2008 ~ Tim & Sue

Chris and Lisa,

The B&B is beautiful! We had a very relaxing stay and truly enjoyed it. The breakfasts were like nothing I have ever had ~ AMAZING!

Thanks again for everything!

November 3. 2008 ~ Brad & Julia

Chris and Lisa,

Thank you for such a great weekend. Your B&B is so charming and cozy. We absolutely loved the breakfast both days. It was a great, relaxing time away from the real world - we are ready to come back!

November 1-2 . 2008 ~ Ashley & Joe ~ Tahlequah, Oklahoma

Lisa and Chris,

What a wonderful experience. Old souls and romantics will find this home a haven. And you have made it such a personal experience. Of course you make it all look effortless with your genuine hospitality. Yet I know you must sink your heart and soul, not mention tireless hours making your guests feel peaceful and serene.

I feel blessed to have been here and that you were both a part of our marriage ceremony, quietly celebrating with us on the lawn.

Warmest regards.

October 30 . 2008 ~ Rina & Tim

We just checked in and got our Suite - very peaceful - not sure what to do with all of the quiet. Maybe a nap? Or just to sit out on the veranda and listen to the wind rustle the leaves and the occasional horse-drawn carriage trot by. It all sounds so good - which to chose?

Just got back from walking to The Crescent Hotel and eating at Ermilio's. We really enjoyed just wandering the streets looking at old homes and B&B's. Time for a hot Jacuzzi and a good movie!

Breakfast - delicious!

October 25 - 2008 ~ Georgia & Brent ~ Fort Smith, Arkansas

Dear Chris and Lisa,

We had an absolute blast. We're training for a half marathon so the hills were a good workout, especially after dinner. Our suite was amazing. Extremely comfortable and very homey - we loved it. The massage package, combined with champagne and chocolates made it a very entertaining weekend and renewing our vows on a carriage ride through the beauty of the surroundings capped off the best weekend we've had in a LONG time! Thanks again for your gracious hospitality.

Take care of yourselves.

October 24-26 . 2008 ~ Tanner & Rachel

Chris,

Thank you so much for the terrific breakfasts! You are truly talented! We so enjoyed talking football with you - hopefully The Razorbacks will turn it around soon!

Lisa,

Thank you for being so kind, warm and friendly. This was the perfect getaway for us! We look forward to seeing you again!

October 24-26 . 2008 ~ Jason & Ryann ~ Tuttle, Oklahoma

I LOVE EUREKA SPRINGS & MOUNT VICTORIA!

This having been my third year in a row visiting Eureka Springs, I have now decided it is my home away from home. It is such a mystical and lovely place to come and rejuvenate. This Suite (The Jackson) is "well appointed" as my boyfriend said. Very peaceful and serene - sitting out on the veranda early morning, drinking coffee, allows for soft, pensive reflection. I ate lots of Lisa's chocolate cake and Chris' breakfasts were A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Yummy! This is mine and my boyfriend's 6th anniversary so this is definitely a great memory for us. Hopefully we'll be back in years to come.

Thanks for the lovely atmosphere!

October 23-25 . 2008 ~ Jennifer & McKee ~ Austin, Texas

Chris and Lisa,

Our first trip to Eureka Springs was a very relaxing one. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality and fabulous breakfasts! We will always remember our stay.

October 22 . 2008 ~ Lisa & Roy ~ Kansas City, Missouri

As we read through the journal entries last night we tried to imagine what could possibly be done to breakfast food to create such a spell-bound following - now we know and will add to this page-by-page account of "amazing", "unbelievable", "beautiful", "delicious", "romantic", "perfect" experiences - our own humble words of admiration - simply enchanting.

We were here in 2003 and now back in 2008 for our 5-year Anniversary. We'll be back before long.

Thanks for the experience!

October 20 . 2008 ~ Krissa & Danie ~ Mountainburg, Arkansas

Chris and Lisa,

Our wedding was beautiful and we had a great stay. It was very calm and relaxing. Mount Victoria is a special place that we will remember forever. It was the best breakfast we've ever had.

Thank you for everything.

October 19-20 . 2008 ~ Mary & Jeremy ~ Memphis, Tennessee

Lisa and Chris,

We really enjoyed our stay here. Your Inn is beautiful and the food is amazing! What a great place to come and relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of teenagers at home! We will recommend Mount Victoria to all our friends and family and we will be back!

October 19 . 2008 ~ Dan & Lesley ~ Republic, Missouri

Chris and Lisa,

We will recommend your Bed & Breakfast to our friends and family - the breakfasts were "to-die-for" and your hospitality wonderful.

Hope to see you again soon!

October 17-18 . 2008 ~ George & Renee ~ Shawnee, Kansas

Chris and Lisa,

You made us feel like a Prince and Princess! So many firsts for us this week - our first trip to Eureka Springs - first time at a Bed & Breakfast - first marriage (and last!) - but not our last time we will visit. The breakfasts Chris prepared were so wonderful! Lisa - thank you so much for all you did to put our wedding together. Bob and I are honored to have you both be a part of the beginning of our life together as a married couple. Your home is so very beautiful. We so enjoyed our stay!

October 15-17 . 2008 ~ Deena & Bob ~ Holden, Missouri

Chris and Lisa,

Thanks for a great place to stay! The house is beautiful - we love how you've decorated. The food, coffee, and cake were yummy.

Thanks for all your hospitality!

You have made our 1st Anniversary one of the most memorable moments of life. Thank you for the special memories and new friendships. We wish you much happiness and success in everything you do.

October 11-13 . 2008 ~ Kenny & Monique ~ Mabelvale, Arkansas

Mike and I stayed in The Jackson Suite which was wonderful! We came to Eureka Springs to celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary. It was very relaxing - Chris and Lisa, the food was awesome! We will definitely recommend to friends and hopefully will be back soon!

Thanks for the hospitality!

October 11 . 2008 ~ Stephanie & Mike ~ Springfield, Missouri

Chris and Lisa,

What a wonderful weekend and special wedding we had here at Mount Victoria! Your Home is lovely, your food is delicious and your hospitality beyond gracious. I had mixed emotions about leaving our family and friends for an "elopement wedding." All of those feelings were gone upon our arrival as you welcomed us into your wonderful Home. Thank you for making our marriage celebration intimate, warm & memorable. We look forward to celebrating many anniversaries here in coming years!

October 10-12 . 2008 ~ Julie & Jeff ~ Tulsa, Oklahoma

Lisa and Chris,

Thank you, once again, for a most enjoyable weekend. You always go that extra mile (Corvette weekend talk!) for your guests. Great food as before!

October 5-6 . 2008 ~ Mark & Kathy

Chris and Lisa,

Thank you SO MUCH (once again) for a wonderful weekend! We loved our Suite, the AWESOME food and spending time with you! We will be back next October for our 5th Corvette weekend! Have a great year!

October 5-6 . 2008 ~ Paula & Gary ~ Tulsa, Oklahoma

My fiancee and I were referred to Mount Victoria by some friends from Dallas. We came to Eureka Springs to help finalize plans for our wedding next April. Chris and Lisa were wonderful and we had the best time! It is easy to see whey Mount Victoria has won so many awards. Ping, Pong & Molly are such a great welcoming committee but Ping was my favorite and Pong coming in a close second. The breakfasts they serve are phenomenal and we will definitely be back. Thanks for such a wonderful experience - we have great memories from your Inn.

September 29 . 2008 ~ Mik & Kristy ~ Dallas, Texas

Chris and Lisa,

Everything was so wonderful as we celebrated our seven-year anniversary here. The rooms are beautiful and we loved the breakfast. Thanks for letting us visit your beautiful Home. It was our home away from home and we will always remember this wonderful anniversary.

September 14 . 2008 ~ Jessica & Rashien

Chad and I spent the weekend in The Jackson Suite for our "first anniversary getaway" - it was our first time to Mount Victoria and to Eureka Springs. We loved every minute of our stay here...ate WAY to much...took home lots of new things from the shops on Springs Street...and just got to relax without a schedule for once. We loved it so much that, because of a last-minute cancellation we stayed another night in a different Suite! Chris' breakfasts are awesome! And Lisa's cake...we just kept going back for more! This was the perfect weekend...the perfect way to spend our anniversary. We'll be back!

September 9-11 . 2008 ~ Rachel & Chad ~ Joplin, Missouri

Chris and Lisa,

We found everything "as advertised!" A lovely house and warm hospitality - all in all, a wonderful stay!

Thank you.

September 13 . 2008 ~ Ron & Wanda

Chris and Lisa,

We could not be happier with our stay here. We have been to Eureka Springs many times but Mount Victoria is the best place we've stayed at. We loved the laid back atmosphere and you have done an outstanding job decorating. The food was top notch and we are very much looking forward to coming back. The chocolate cake was amazing!

Thanks again!

September . 2008 ~ Lucas & Angie

We had a great time at your beautiful B&B. Chris, you did a super job on the breakfasts - WOW! We've decided it's the best B&B we've stayed at! Telling others about it will be a pleasure and we hope to be back very soon.

August 5 - 6, 2008 ~ Bill & Debbie ~ Rogers, AR

Chris & Lisa,

Thanks for sharing your home with us for several days. The breakfasts were wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing Ping & Poing with us!

August 5, 2008 ~ Mary & Billy ~ San Marcos, TX

We have had a wonderful tiem here and loved the house and food. You two have been so open and friendly and well, the food...perfect!! A lot of it and perfect!! Ping & Pong helped with my missing our animals. The room is fab, the food fab, the host & hostess fab! Next time we come back we will stay here at our new "home away from home."

We have been married 18 years TODAY! You have made this a lovely, special trip! We stay at a lot of B&B's when we travel and this one is at the TOP!

Thank you ~ Nancy & Steve (Lee's Summit, MO)

July 23 - 26, 2008 ~ David & Tammy ~ Alabaster, AL

July 12, 2008 - Amanda & Rob ~ Prairie Grove, AR

Lisa & Chris,

What a wonderful way to celebrate our 40th anniversary - four children and nine grandchildren - this is their gift to us.

We will certainly recommend the Mount Victoria as we pass on this treasure to others.

Thank you for your gracious hospitality.

July 10 - 13, 2008 ~ Rick & Sue ~ Lake St. Louis, MO

Chris & Lisa,

A perfect retreat from the world - a little reading room that looks out over the trees - a perfect place to sort and gather thoughts - to string a few words on a page to leave behind.

Thanks for sharing - and your wonderful care of us - and this lovely home.

July 9, 2008 ~ Janell

You have a gorgeous home! We have had a wonderful time during our stay. Show evenings on the front porch under Ping & Pong's watch are a great way to end the day. Your fantastic breakfast was a great way to start the next day!

July 9, 2008 ~ Kristopher & Stacy ~ Sherwood, AR

Dear Chris & Lisa,

Thanks so much for your hospitality. Everything was simply great. We wanted to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary in a simple but elegant atmosphere and we found it here.

You both have a wonderful place here. We pray taht God will continue to bless your endeavors and most of all that He will bless your upcoming marriage for many years to come.

Chris, you have a gift! The food is beyond words. We truly enjoyed the food and friendly conversations.

Thank you guys for everything. May the wind be forever at your back door.

July 3 - 6 ~ Jimmie & Pat ~ Hernando, Mississippi

You'll never know what a godsend you two have been for us! With our home remodel and catasrophe left behind for a luxurious and relaxed stay recharged us and saved our sanity! Your cooking is out of this world - worth blowing the diet! Wish we could stay forever - we will definitely be telling the whole city of Enid to stay with you when they visit!

More than makes up for our botched honeymoon in Eureka Springs 15 years ago - hope we come back quicker than 15 years next time.

~ Clint & Anjanette - Enid, OK

Lisa and Chris,

Thanks again for another wonderful weekend with you all. We love coming here - kind of like being home. Jon & I both love it here so much.

Chris, your breakfast makes me a “breakfast person!” We’ll see you again soon, maybe in the Fall.

If you are ever in Tulsa give us a call - I won’t promise breakfast on the Veranda, but I can handle a cup of coffee or cocktail!

July 4 - July 6, 2008 - Christine & Jon ~ Tulsa, OK

Dear Chris and Lisa,

Thank you very much for a fabulous stay at Mount Victoria. We commend you both for the dedication to making your guests so comfortable in every way. We have never experienced such wonderful hospitality in any Bed & Breakfast we visited in the past.

Chris, your breakfasts are delicious and set you apart from other B&B’s. Not only is the taste incredible but your attention to detail and presentation is an Art.

Lisa, a special thanks for arranging the facial and also for helping Tom.

Mount Victoria is so deserving of award-winning status. The Clayton Suite was so perfect for us. We wish you the very best in your future endeavors.

P.S. Lisa, the chocolate fudge cake is awesome!!

July, 2008 - Tom & Lynn ~ St. Louis, MO

Lisa & Chris,

Loved our stay here! Hospitality is a 10+++. We have to come back.

4th of July weekend, 2008 - Patti & John

Lisa & Chris,

It’s been a wonderful week. You’ve made the most important time in our life feel very special and perfect in every way. I truly felt like a Princess on my wedding day and everything we dreamed of you absolutely did!

I would recommend your elegant B&B to anyone wanting a fairy-tale wedding with no stress!

Thank you so much for lending your home to us on our special day. The Garden is beautiful and just what I wanted for an “outdoor wedding.”

We will come visit again without a doubt.

June 30 - July 4, 2008 ~ Linn & Nicci Wanbaugh

Chris & Lisa,

It has been a total pleasure staying here at Mount Victoria. We really enjoyed visiting with ya’ll on the porch last night and loved Ping & Pong. The dozen roses & carriage ride you helped arrange were so romantic & just perfect for our 15 year Anniversary. The atmosphere was so relaxed & “homey.” The bedding & the bed were great! Looking forward to trying Chris’ breakfast in the morning.

Well, the breakfast was absolutely INCREDIBLE! Chris, you have got to do a cookbook & Lisa, I still want that cake recipe - email if you decide to give it out!

I loved being on the third floor in “the storm” - that was incredible sounding & the thunder & the sounds of the house - very romantic!

Thanks for the great time!

June 26 - June 28, 2008 - Wayman & Sheri ~ Benton, AR

Chris & Lisa,

We have thoroughly enjoyed our visit for our Anniversary. The room was decorated with exquisite taste and the food was fabulous! We felt so relaxed and really enjoyed the Jacuzzi-for-two!

We will definitely visit again & we’re going to tell our friends about your great B&B!

Thanks for everything.

June 25 - June 26, 2008 - Kurt & Lori

Chris & Lisa,

Thank you guys for a wonderful weekend. When Heather and I were looking for a place to stay and get married we came for a weekend and went to numerous places. When we started to talk about the different B&B’s and cabins we visited, we both kept saying the same thing. Beyond all the facilities & amenities there was one thing that drew us to Mount Victoria. It was you guys. Both Heather & I felt an immediate connection to you both.

We really enjoyed hanging out with you two Thursday night and we feel like we’ve found more than a place to stay for a weekend. We’ve found some new friends.

We look forward to seeing ya’ll in the future.

Your friends,

Lenn & Heather Chandler

June 18 - 21, 2008

Dear Chris and Lisa,

We can positively see why you have been consistently named one of the best Bed and Breakfast Inns in America. The comfort was amazing and the food was AMAZING!

After 4 years of stressful college, this was the best way for two of greatest friends to start their life together. We will soon be up in Chicago for James’ Grad School, but this place was a fitting beginning and end to two very important chapters in our lives. Almost like a bridge...OH!...speaking of bridges - I’m reminded of the bridge in DinoWorld! Mark our words - 2-3 years and we’ll be back to buy that place!

We are 100% planning on coming back this way for a getaway. If we run into OPRAH in Chi-Town we’ll tell her to do another feature on you in her magazine!

Thanks for everything!!

Sincerely,

James & Katy Winston

June 15 - 18, 2008

Chris & Lisa,

We really enjoyed our stay here at Mount Victoria. We love the location.....the breakfasts were AWESOME! I slept just as well here as I do at home - now THAT is saying something!

Thank you so much,

June 7-8, 2008 - Kendall & Terri ~ Joplin, MO

Chris & Lisa,

Thank you so much for allowing us to stay at your beautiful B&B!

Your Gardens were a wonderful location for our intimate wedding. The room was beyond our expectations and breakfasts were the BEST meals we’ve ever had!

We felt so at home here - we really did not want to leave. Keep up the good work!

We look forward seeing you again on our Anniversary.

Thanks,

Lauren & Michael Lawson

June 4-6, 2008

Coming to Mount Victoria was a very welcome break from real life. My husband and I celebrated our first wedding Anniversary here, and both decided it was more like coming to visit a favorite Aunt & Uncle than going to a B&B.

Chris & Lisa were so welcoming & personable - they immediately made us feel at home.

The breakfasts were OUTSTANDING!

We will be back! Sooner, hopefully rather than later.

June 4, 2008 - Heath & Caitlin - Rogers, AR

Well Guys, another great stay at Mount Victoria! As always, you are so very gracious and friendly. We hope to see you again this Summer. We will continue to send our family and friends your way. The best to both of you always.

May, 2008 Calvin & Clois ~ Cabot, AR

Lisa & Chris,

You are truly masters of hospitality! The breakfasts were amazing and the room was just lovely. Your warmth made us so very comfortable and relaxed! We loved Ping & Pong! Thanks again - a great 10 year Anniversary!

May, 2008 ~ Greg & Carrie ~ Joplin, MO

What a wonderful time! Breakfasts were delicious - room was fantastic - Lisa & Chris are very helpful and friendly. Love the afternoon Social Hour! Your restaurant suggestions were all excellent. We hope to come again and will certainly tell all our friends.

Chris & Lisa, you are both so talented! We found a treasure in Eureka Springs and plan to make many repeat visits. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

May, 2008 ~ Robert & Rachel ~ Tulsa, OK

Chris & Lisa,

Thank you for a wonderful two days. Would highly recommend your B&B. Chris, your breakfasts were wonderful. We felt like we were at a five-star having breakfast. Loved the Jackson Suite and all of your decor. Hope we can return some day.

May, 2008 ~ John & Esther ~ Dickerington, OH

Chris & Lisa,

Just wanted to let you know we had a great stay at Mount Victoria. Like every other guest has noticed - Chris’ cooking is top notch! Lisa’s orange margaritas and company is unparalleled and Ping’s lion-cut haircut is the envy of the community. You guys have an awesome place and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Drop us a line in Rogersville - the beer’s cold & the coffee hot! ‘Till next time!

May, 2008

Ull & Jeena ~ Rogersville, MO

Chris & Lisa,

We had such a great time at our first B&B! This place is so beautiful! You are wonderful hosts and the other guests agree. Breakfast was outstanding - we especially liked the “smoked” flavor in that one dish. The chocolate strawberries, flowers & wine were a nice touch. We will definitely be telling our friends about you and Mount Victoria.

Thanks again!

May, 2008 ~ Brian & Alynda ~ Memphis, TN

Chris & Lisa,

Mount Victoria is truly a lovely and thoughtfully appointed Bed & Breakfast “home!” Donna & I really enjoyed the visit and environment. Congrats on putting together such a relaxing and beautiful place to stay in the Ozarks. Breakfast presentation and flavor were wonderful...my waistline was the only thing that didn’t enjoy it! We’ll return for more on our next visit to the Ozarks!

May, 2008 ~ Aubrey & Donna ~ Lake McQuenney, TX

Chris & Lisa,

Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us. We had a wonderful time. Thank you also for so kindly meeting my complicated dietary needs - I greatly appreciate it.

Thank you for making our first visit to Eureka Springs a memorable experience. We will certainly return!

April, 2008 ~ Bob & Eulene ~ Edmond, OK

This has been a wonderful weekend! Our favorite moments have included relaxing in the Jackson Suite among beautiful decor and great views of the trees outside the windows. We’ve enjoyed waking up to the birds chirping outside and the Sun coming through the windows. Your home is beautiful. Chris, breakfasts are delicious. This town is a great place for getting away from hectic schedules back home. Great job with the ambiance! We will tell our friends about your hospitality.

April, 2008 ~ Emily & Justin ~ Kansas City, MO

Lisa & Chris,

It is so great to be back at Mount Victoria to once again celebrate our Wedding Anniversary. We are happy to “try out” the Saunders Suite - it is beautiful!

April, 2008 ~ Chuck & Jean ~ Mena, AR

Had a great time! The hospitality was so warm and wonderful. Breakfast was just fantastic. Atmosphere of the room (Mazaret) was romantic and relaxing. Thanks for making us feel so welcome.

April, 2008 ~ Tom & Barbara ~ Benton, AR

Chris & Lisa, What a wonderful stay we had. Your B&B is all one should be & more. We appreciated your attention to detail which covered our every desire. Most of all we enjoyed your hospitality. You have created such a warm and welcoming atmosphere that we felt right at home. And, yes, we must join everyone else in saying "The breakfasts are awesomely wonderful." May you always enjoy being THE BEST in Eureka.

March, 2008 ~ Dwayne & Vivian ~ Arkansas

We have stayed many different places and can say that yours by far is the best. I have read all the Comments made by your guests and agree with all of them - you have found your niche. Every aspect of our stay was perfect. We only regret that we couldn't stay longer. We will be back. Good luck with the sailing! Best wishes!

March, 2008 ~ Jim & Cynita

We Book A Year in Advance

Our second visit to Mount Victoria and we can't wait to return. This is where we escape and relax. Thanks Lisa & Chris for making everything so great.

March, 2008 ~ Dan & Kelly ~ Missouri

AWESOME WEEKEND!

What a perfect place to get away from it all & just relax. The Mount Victoria is so comfortable. It puts you quickly at ease. Thanks to Chris & Lisa who make Mount Victoria special.
We appreciated your recommendations that were honest and "on the mark!"

The breakfasts each morning were divine! You seem to have thought of everything. Best of luck & we will see you on our next trip to Eureka Springs.

March, 2008 ~ John & Tara ~ Arkansas

The first thing that made me feel as thought I was in a different world was the beautiful ribbons of sunlight beaming in the morning. The quietness of the reading nook and the sheer perfection of the morning as I sit and write outside on the veranda with my coffee - so relaxing.

Breakfast was so wonderful - but for Lisa to add the surprising yet gracious touch of chocolate milk - my favorite!! - was just awesome!
Eureka is definitely like a complete different country - but to stay here, at Mount Victoria, it made this trip perfect to me, like being in a whole different country altogether.

Thank you for making this a memorable Anniversary and trip for us both. I also have to mention if we have a baby boy we are naming him Jackson - so the Jackson Suite was non doubt the perfect choice of stay! Thank you once again...we shall return!

March, 2008 ~ Chad & Melissa ~ Arkansas "Go Razorbacks!"

Thank you both for such great hospitality! The peacefulness here was something Todd and I were needing very much. Since I had switched jobs, it was nice to get away somewhere and actually enjoy a beautiful weekend. I haven't been able to do this for the last 15 months.

We loved Mount Victoria and the rooms. Loved the scenery and the verandas and appreciate you both. Thanks so much! By the way - awesome food - Mmmmmmmm!

March, 2008 ~ Telina & Todd

WOW! WOW! WOW!

Chris, you are quite the Chef! We "ooh'd and ahhh'd" through our entire meal! Double wow! Food was hot throughout the meal as well - that's rare! Lovely presentation!

Bed was so comfortable as were the surroundings! You can tell a lot of "care and thoughtfulness" have gone into making the Jackson Suite homey yet romantic.

Thanks so much for a relaxing respite - we'll be back! March, 2008 ~ Rusty & Schahara ~ Texas

Thank you SO MUCH for the wonderful and relaxing weekend. The weekend was everything we hoped for and more. The couples' massage you arranged for us at Gryphon's Roost was FANTASTIC! The lunch at Local Flavor was excellent, and dinner last night at Autumn Breeze was one of the best dinners we've ever had!
All your recommendations / suggestions on places to visit were "spot-on!" We felt so welcome in your home and, of course, the breakfasts were GREAT!

Thanks again! March, 2008 ~ Steve & Debbie ~ Missouri

Chris & Lisa, Thank you so much for your hospitality and great service. We loved the place and your cooking was fabulous. This made our first Anniversary very special. God Bless you abundantly!

March, 2008 ~ Hugo & Erica - Oklahoma

Our stay at Mount Victoria was amazing. Chris and Lisa bring a new meaning to hospitality. When we arrived, Chris and Lisa met us with a warm welcome and cheerful smiles on their faces - very friendly. (Thank you both.) The breakfast was amazing. The Jackson Suite was wonderful. We definitely felt comfortable and at home here.

Spencer and I enjoyed conversation with you both. Lisa, I love your decor! I felt that you and I have a lot in common as do Chris and Spencer. We will definitely tell all our friends and family about Mount Victoria and we will be back. Thank you again for making this an amazing and unforgettable weekend for us.

February, 2008 ~ Spencer & Shawna ~ Oklahoma

Hospitality to a "T." Chris' directions and willingness to helps in any way so that we might enjoy our stay started off the evening wonderfully. The decor was perfect in the Jackson Suite.
We felt very welcome and look forward to coming back and maybe bringing some friends next time. The reading area, the mini fridge with beverages, the cookies...a wonderful retreat!

Chris & Lisa have created a wonderful atmosphere. To uphold a tradition, I must also compliment the excellent preparation of breakfast. Just the looks of it were spectacular and it tasted so good!

Of course, we will be recommending Mount Victoria to family and friends as well. Thank you guys so much for a wonderful stay!

February, 2008 ~ Robin & Caleb - Arkansas

Lisa & Chris,
We had such a good and relaxing time in your beautiful home. The breakfast is amazing not just by presentation but it also tastes amazing.

The birds signing in the morning, a cup of steaming (decaf!) coffee in hand with Dan beside me, what better way to start out day at beautiful Mount Victoria.

We had the perfect honeymoon and babymoon wrapped into one. Thank you, Chris & Lisa, for your hospitality, opening your beautiful home, your conversation, and delicious breakfasts.

We will most certainly be back!

February, 2008 - Lisa & Dan - St. Louis

Lisa & Chris,
Day 1 & 2 - What an awesome B&B, the Mazaret room was so romantic & quaint. We have had a rough four years - lost both mother & father in-law within 14 months of each other. My beautiful daughter & son purchased our 2 night stay as a Christmas present (December, 2007). Being able to reserve Valentine's weekend was a true blessing to renew our souls and spirit. Thank God for people like you who take that chance for I think it was the right time. You have made our time here a safe haven - love it, love it! God Bless you each & this wonderful home.

Day 3 - P.S. Okay, our compliments to the chef! What an outstanding breakfast - each morning brings a new excitement as to what's to come! I can't sing your praises enough - we've been sleeping in 'till around NOON just to enjoy the room that much longer!

Day 4 - P.S.S. Wow, Wow, Wow! You and this wonderful escape will be forever in our minds and heart, I can't say Thank You enough. Keep up the spoiling you two are so good at!

February, 2008 - Sandy & Scott - Oklahoma City, OK

Dear Lisa & Chris,
Thanks to your warm hospitality, beautiful home and scrumptious breakfast (and everything else in between) it has been a wonderful, relaxing vacation. I look forward to coming back someday. I just love the "richness" of the Mazaret Suite. I am sure you will be receiving more awards & recognition for your efforts in the future. Much Thanks!

February, 2008 - Lorraine - Arlington, TX

What a wonderful wedding at Mount Victoria and a completely romantic stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here... Chris' exceptional talents in the kitchen were unexpected - I think we both gained 5 lbs.! The breakfast was amazing!

January, 2008 - Dustin & Bonny - Tulsa, OK

Wow - the accommodations were great! The Jackson Suite is absolutely fantastic - so comfortable & cozy.

We arrived late and left early but it was delightful! Your home is comfortable and relaxing and we felt so well cared for. Thanks for your advice and directions.

Thanks for your expert hospitality!

December, 2007 - Pam & David ~ Edmond, OK

We loved being here. The details of the suite were extravagant. After 15 years of marriage & our 8 th child 7 weeks away, we needed to just focus on us and our future. This was our 15 th anniversary and I spent it with the man of my dreams at the perfect, romantic Inn. Thank you!

Thank you for providing us a nice "haven" away from all the craziness connected to the holidays. We loved the Jacuzzi, breakfasts, movies, cold drinks, and beautiful suite.

We hope you enjoy your short break for the holidays - thank you for making ours extra special.

Cheers!

November, 2007 - Robin & Peter ~ Scotland

Happy Birthday to me!

A few years ago, we stayed at the Walnut Street Bed & Breakfast in Springfield, Mo. I was reading the guest book and discovered my brother-in-law and sister-in-law had stayed in the same room. Browsing the guest book at Mount Victoria, I wondered who I would recognize from the Springfield & Kansas City area... and I was kidding... but then I kept reading and discovered a former boyfriend and his wife of many years had also stayed in this room! Small world!

We went to dinner at Port Orleans - we had been there a few years before and loved it. Our diner tonight was as good as our memories of our previous visit! We recommend the seafood stuffed catfish!

Thank you for a wonderful stay. The aroma of breakfast sneaking up the stairs woke me up - yummy!

November, 2007 - Kime & Taylor ~ Lee Summit, MO

Had a fabulous time at your wonderful Bed & Breakfast. Never been on vacation by myself before and I enjoyed it immensely. The suite was superb and the breakfasts were so tasty and filling - I wasn't hungry again 'til the evening.

This was a great retreat from the ordinary day-to-day routine. I will most definitely be back next year. Thanks so much!

November, 2007 - Ann ~ Springfield, MO

Chris & Lisa,

It was great coming back to your lovely Inn. It was nice to be welcomed so warmly and we truly enjoyed this room, The Clayton Suite. Chris, your breakfast was FABULOUS and we are looking forward to coming back for more. Happy Holidays!

November, 2007 - Anissa & Rob ~ Kansas City, MO

Jordan & I met in Eureka Springs, so we jumped at the opportunity to return and reminisce. Wanting to make the most of our "mini-vacation", we chose what had been awarded "The Most Romantic Bed & Breakfast" in the United States by www.bedandbreakfast.com . Mount Victoria is absolutely stunning and I was shocked at the sheer beauty that does not translate on the Internet. The Inn has that certain something that you have to see to believe. Needless to say, I was already more than satisfied, but after a good night's sleep on amazing linens, breakfast was served...WOW!

Chris has a talent that surpasses that of any Chef at any restaurant that I can think of. The food was positively phenomenal! Mount Victoria's breakfast was the single most incredible breakfast that either one of us have ever had the pleasure of consuming. We WILL be back!

Victoria & Todd ~ October, 2007

Lisa & Chris,

Thank you so much for welcoming us into your beautiful home. You will never know how much it means to us that you two put so much care, effort, and time into making our wedding exactly what we wanted. This has been an amazing trip and we can't wait to come back! Congrats on your upcoming wedding - you make a beautiful couple.

Suzanne & Joel ~ September, 2007

Hey!

Loved everything about my stay! The room, the breakfasts, the furniture...it was by far the best stay I've had in Eureka Springs in a very long time! I will certainly return and tell all my friends.

Renee ~ September, 2007

Thanks so much for a relaxing stay in your gorgeous home. We enjoyed your easy-going, friendly hospitality from start to finish. We wish you much success in all you do. And, Chris, next year how about that "Wine Dinner!" I'm going to email you the info from our friends' next one. Their restaurant is Maddens in Bryan, TX.

Best Regards - Rick & Carolyn

September, 2007

The Mazaret Suite really surpassed our expectations. It was relaxing, tasteful and rich at the same time. Thank you for your superior linens and super comfortable bed. We enjoyed it tremendously.

Walter & Christine ~ September, 2007

Dear Chris and Lisa,

We just want to tell you that the room is beautiful. This was such a wonderful place to spend our wedding night. The breakfast was so much more than expected. We were blown away with all the flavors. Thanks!

Kenny & Sara ~ September, 2007

Dear Chris & Lisa,

Thank you for opening your home up to us. We had a f-a-b-u-l-o-u-s time! Our anniversary is sure to be remembered. Especially my ring from Robert! The food was awesome! Thanks again!

Pamela & Robert ~ September, 2007

Lisa & Chris,

What a great albeit short visit this was! Thanks for making it a fun get-away for us. Your B&B beautiful, the room lovely, the tasty breakfasts lived up to their reputation and Ping & Pong were icing on the cake. Best of luck to you both with everything. Thanks again for the great memories.

Sarah & Alan ~ September, 2007

Chris & Lisa,

Robert and I loved staying in your beautiful home while vacationing in Eureka Springs. We believe that our gifts are to be shared with others and the two of you certainly do that. May your upcoming marriage be blessed as well as your business adventures. When you come to New Orleans call us & we will show you our city.

Sincerely ~ MaryAnne & Robert

September, 2007

Chris & Lisa,

Libbi & Tom ~ September, 2007

We had a wonderful time and can't wait until we are able to visit again. This was a great birthday surprise complete with chocolate covered strawberries, flowers and sparkling grape juice. I look forward to many more birthdays with my new husband. We had an excellent trip! Go Hogs!

Rusty & Ashley ~ September, 2007

Thank you for your wonderful hospitality - the food was fabulous and Lisa & Chris are spectacular hosts. Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials - you two were made for each other.

Mike & Yvonne ~ September, 2007

Our relaxing stay was delightful. We couldn't have selected a better weekend even though it was filled with showers. Such scrumptious breakfasts and hospitable hosts. The cookies were to die for! You have a cozy, beautiful Inn.

Janet & Bradley ~ September, 2007

My daughter and I needed a weekend of rest and relaxation. The Jackson Suite was perfect. Every detail was so beautifully presented that we've felt very pampered. The breakfasts were the best we have ever had - thank you for such a wonderful place to stay.

Christine & Terri ~ September, 2007

Tonight is the second night of our honeymoon. We arrived in this gorgeous room today and enjoy everything so much. The incredible sheets, perfect tub and the attention to details have made our stay memorable.

Mr. & Mrs. Alan Linden ~ September, 2007

We came up to Eureka with our parents to help them celebrate their 48th Anniversary. I spoke with Lisa and she was able to get us in at the last minute due to a cancellation. We were extremely pleased with everything - décor, atmosphere, and hospitality! We felt right at home. Never had a breakfast dish quite like this before. Great food! We will be back when we can spend more than 1 night.

Steve & Tina ~ September, 2007

We came to Mount Victoria B&B as a place to relax and reconnect after the birth of our child and my husband's completion of his Masters Degree. The accommodations were elegant while also tranquil. The Jackson is a luxurious Suite and allowed us to relax and spend time together. We love the decorative style of this beautiful home. Thank you for the delicious breakfasts!!

Darren & Janice ~ August, 2007

Lisa and Chris,

We just love Mount Victoria! This was the perfect getaway spot for us. The Clayton Suite was wonderful - very comfortable and relaxing. Thank you for your hospitality - needless to say the BEST breakfast we've ever had! We also enjoyed just getting to visit with you - such fun! You made us feel very special. We hope to visit again. Thanks again!

P.S. Thanks also for your shopping and restaurant recommendations. Lisa, I knew from the moment I saw your décor style, you would guide me in the right direction!

Valerie & Paul ~ August, 2007

Dear Lisa & Chris,

Thank you for your wonderful hospitality. I believe this is the most pleasant stay we have ever had in our 32 years of marriage! The house is beautiful and our room was elegant. Of course, the yummy breakfasts were something to look forward to - we enjoyed our chats with Chris. Lisa, your shopping guide was great - I think I bought something at every store you suggested! Yikes! You make us feel like friends. I truly hope we will come again. You are on top of our recommendation list! Many thanks!

Bob & Karen ~ August, 2007

Chris and Lisa,

Thank you for the perfect place for us to celebrate our 10-year anniversary. We loved the elegance, delicious food, and your attention to detail. Thank you for the evening coffee and the available cookies. We would enjoy coming back!

Shawn & Shelley ~ August, 2007

Lisa & Chris,

You have a wonderful place here. It is like your hospitality went far beyond the room. The two of you made our "mini family reunion" even that much better.

Prudence & Jeff ~ August, 2007

Lisa & Chris,

You have an incredible "home." Larry loved talking football with Chris & the food was wonderful. Thank you for your outstanding Southern hospitality. Best Wishes on your upcoming April 2008 wedding - your ring is so gorgeous!

Lisa & Chris,

Thank you both for making our 11th anniversary so enjoyable and stress-free. We have always loved Eureka & can't wait to return. You both run a great B&B, which will be recommended to our friends. We'll be back!

John & Jennifer ~ August, 2007

We couldn't have been met with a more warm & sincere greeting!
Your home is beautiful & you out did yourself with all the decorating- it is so nice to know most of your antiques are from family - no wonder it is so homey & comfortable.

Our room, The Jackson Suite, is the best in the house! We enjoyed the decor as well as a soothing bath to strengthen our weary bones. As always in a marriage, the opportunity for romance is enhanced by atmosphere and you have definitely provided all the necessary components...

The breakfast our first morning was absolutely fantastic & we wondered how you could possibly outdo yourselves the next day, but you sure did! Thanks for all the tips on where to go & the restaurant choices - again, right on!

We had a wonderful stay - you made us feel special & right at home. Also, thanks for the refreshments. Hope your first Summer is happy & prosperous - we will be back!

Suggestions? None! Everything was perfect! Sincerely, LeRoy & Barb ~ July, 2007

Thank you much for a memorable Anniversary weekend. The room, atmosphere, breakfast & Veranda was just what we were looking for. We would love to spend a few more days. We'll definitely be back. Thanks for the hospitality - the fudge was incredible - everything very well done.

Best Wishes ~ Bob & Angela ~ July, 2007

Thank you so much for a pleasant stay. My husband and I enjoyed it. Chris, you're an awesome cook, conversationalist and full of great ideas ....food, entertainment!

Best Wishes! Laura & Ben ~ July, 2007

What a wonderful time we had this weekend! This was our first vacation together and it could not have been better. This weekend has been the most relaxing in a very long time. The Suite was perfect and Lisa & Chris could not have been better hosts. I am so glad to have gotten to meet everyone that was here! The private dinner was super romantic and extremely tasty! I was pleasantly surprised!

Thank you Chris & Lisa for making this weekend so great! I can't wait to come back! Katherine & Michael ~ July, 2007

P.S. We WILL tell all our friends! ~ Chris & Pat, July, 2007

Dewayne & I came to enjoy a quiet couples' get-away and that is what we got! The B&B experience has been grand. Chris & Lisa are fantastic hosts with loads of personality. We have enjoyed visiting with everyone. We're sure that you've been asked the same questions over & over again - yet enjoy sharing your stories as B&B owners. The breakfast was divine - GREAT job! Thank you for offering such a relaxing break from the demands of day-to-day.

Yours ~ David & Molina ~ June, 2007

The experience Angie & I had was out of this world. Far beyond our expectations. The breakfasts were awesome. As soon as we got here we felt at home. Can't wait to return!

Thanks! Jason ~ June, 2007

Thanks so much Chris & Lisa for making our weekend a magical experience. Breakfast was exquisite and we felt right at home from the moment we arrived. Our wedding weekend would not have been perfect without your hospitality.

Thank you so much! Melissa ~ June, 2007

What a wonderful four days we've enjoyed at Mount Victoria. Everything was wonderful - the decor, the Gardens, the breakfasts. But, most of all, your hospitality made us fell like we were staying with friends. We wish you many years of success.

Dave & Anita ~ May, 2007

From the moment we arrived late Tuesday night (thanks for waiting up for us!) 'till this morning as we're looking forward to another fabulous breakfast, we have felt pampered, relaxed and like very special guests in your home. We got a chuckle out of the two of you planting flowers in the Garden - the two of you were truly meant for each other! It made us feel so comfortable. We loved hearing your stories about the business. Thank you for all the helpful suggestions you gave us. The room is marvelous - the bed so comfortable and - well - we could go on and on - but being big B&B fans having visited many over the last 10 years, you received the supreme compliment when Ray said, "This is one of the best!" We'll be back - next time in the Fall or Winter so we can sit in the beautiful Parlor! Many, many thanks and we wish you much success in this venture.

P.S. Don't forget the cookbook idea! Ray & Joan ~ May, 2007

We are so glad you decided to move here and buy Mount Victoria....we so enjoyed meeting the pair of you and relaxing in the Jackson Suite. I LOVE the feel of this bed and breakfast. The room is decorated perfectly as is the rest of the house. What makes it better is that all of the furnishings are genuine, family belongings. I will be telling all my friends and family to stay here...a home away from home. We are celebrating our 3rd Anniversary and Collin couldn't have picked a better place. Thank you for your hospitality, great food and conversation.

We will be back! ~ Emily & Collin, April, 2007

What a wonderful, peaceful morning to wake up on your 60th b-day. The birds were singing in the trees and the Easter sky was a beautiful red. This Suite is very pleasant and cheery and the morning coffee is perfect. This was my first experience with a B&B and what a great choice it was! The smell of breakfast cooking is wafting up the staircase. Whatever Chris is cooking is bound to be a treat! Chris & Lisa, you have a wonderful presence to welcome guests and a beautiful home also. Our time spent was excellent.

Thank you ~ Sharon, April 2007

We knew we wanted a getaway before an upcoming job change and the Summer heat would arrive. We really felt drawn to do something relaxing & carefree. No airplanes, no big cities but a slower pace. We decided upon Eureka Springs & I began to search online where to stay. When I found Mount Victoria I knew I had found the perfect spot! Lisa was very helpful from the start. We drove from Ft. Worth, Texas to find a home away from home. It was exactly what we needed & wanted!

The hosts were wonderful! I can truly see Food Network or HGTV highlighting Mount Victoria. We could tell from the web site we were in for a treat that Mount Victoria delivered! Breakfast was the most superior meal. It was without a doubt the best breakfast we have ever had. Chris is incredible in his skills and creativity! You will be very blessed. The bed was very good and made us realize that we need a new, better mattress.

We would love to return someday and will treasure our fond memories of Mount Victoria. Julie ~ April, 2007

A FANTASTIC PLACE TO STAY!

We first stayed here in March with our daughter and son-in-law. The rooms were great...beautifully decorated, clean, comfortable...and we had Dinner at the Inn as well as breakfast the next morning. The food was fantastic! We chose what we wanted for dinner, and I can't say how delicious it was. Chris and Lisa are so friendly we felt like we had known them for years. We are going back again this weekend to celebrate our anniversary (4 weeks later) so you know we really love it! We would recommend Mount Victoria to anyone!

BEST STAY IN EUREKA

My husband and I try to visit Mount Victoria at least twice a year and will not stay any where else in Eureka Springs. The Suites are excellent and beautifully decorated. We highly recommend Mount Victoria to anyone looking for an elegant, friendly, clean, relaxing place to stay in Eureka Springs.

The Jones', February 2007

We are the Brewer's and we stayed at Mount Victoria Jan 2007.

We truly love this B&B. This is not your normal frilly lace B&B where everything is stuffy and not comfortable. This is like the magazine Southern Living and you take ideas back to your house to decorate.

The inn keepers were young and fabulous! They made us feel right at home and welcome. I felt we were old friends. The rooms are huge, luxurious and clean. The food was the best! I could go on about the food for days. You actually get a choice to eat IN your room or down in the parlor.

We have never had such a heartfelt experience at any B&B like we did Mount Victoria. We had the most romantic experience. The rooms and Jacuzzis are huge. The inn keepers also informed us of all the happenings and best places to go in Eureka. It was nice to have their guidance. We plan to go back every time we stay overnight. We would never stay anywhere else.

When we arrived at Mount Victoria, Chris greeted us from our car by name and led us up to our gorgeous room. I was surprised at how big it was and happy to find it decorated without lace and frills, unlike most B&B's we came across.

Dark chocolate covered strawberries awaited us in the sitting area, a small taste of things to come. Lisa gave us many tips for our first visit to Eureka Springs which was very helpful.

Our stay was so comfortable and relaxing, we enjoyed the selection of movies and drinks available to guests on the second floor. After a wonderful sleep we woke to the smell of fresh made coffee right outside our door. Chris brought our breakfast up to our room, complete with fresh fruit, apple croissant French toast, bacon, and fresh orange juice, it was delectable and we ate up every bite.

Chris & Lisa made us feel right at home and very welcome, we even found ourselves saying, "Let's go home" referring to our room at Mount Victoria after a night on the town. When we do return to Eureka Springs we look forward to staying at Mount Victoria.

Thank you for everything, you truly made our stay unforgettable.

The Parkmans / February, 2007

My husband and I stayed at Mount Victoria for a weekend. We were graciously greeted by the Innkeepers - Chris and Lisa, who anticipated our every need--from sweets on the pillows at night to freshly brewed coffee waiting outside our Suite in the morning. The enormous Jacuzzi tub, luxurious bed, and scrumptious breakfasts ensured our return to Mount Victoria soon. We just adored Lisa's high-spirited energy and Chris' unflappable demeanor. They made us feel like family!!!

Donna and Dan Peterson, Little Rock February, 2007

We were married and stayed at Mount Victoria in January of '07. Chris and Lisa couldn't have been better hosts! They were wonderful. They both went out of their way to help us make arrangements and host our wedding. The rooms were cozy, clean, and nicely decorated. Lisa added a lot of little extras that made our stay special. The breakfasts that Chris cooked each morning where fabulous! We will definitely visit here again.

Don & Jamie - Weatherford, OK

The beautiful Mount Victoria is so conveniently located on the historic loop for all of the Eureka amenities to readily be enjoyed.

Our room was spacious and beautiful and we couldn't have asked for a better breakfast. The dining room was beautiful yet had a comfortable and casual feel with Chris' fine-dining meals waiting for us each morning.

The Innkeepers, Lisa and Chris were most hospitable and treated us like royalty...

Victoria & Mark February 2007

My name is Jeanie Barron and I spent 2 lovely days and nights in the warm elegance of Mount Victoria. Chris and Lisa 's hospitality made me feel as though I were a welcome guest in their home. Chris' generous gourmet breakfasts were a delight as was the wonderful Jacuzzi tub ...what a way to start the day! They both took such an interest in making my visit to Eureka Springs a memorable one, even giving me ideas for shopping and sightseeing.

There are many things to see and do in and around Eureka Springs, but one thing I won't change is my choice of B&B - it will always be Mount Victoria!

Thank you, Chris and Lisa! - January, 2007

Chris & Lisa,

Hey! We had so much fun there!! Thanks so much for being excellent hosts!! The breakfast was super delicious, which was one of our favorite things about the whole trip. Everything was just great! Thanks again!

Don & Julie February 2&3, 2007

After receiving news about our wedding being double booked, we were thrown for a loop! A suggestion was to try Mount Victoria and we have never looked back! You guys are perfect! The breakfast was fabulous and the house is great. We look forward to seeing you both again and having our wedding in July! This is one place you won't regret staying in at Eureka Springs!

Thanks for everything Jenn and Kristen
