Summer does not end in the Ozarks when the calendar says so. Late August and September bring some of the best weather of the year to Eureka Springs, with warm afternoons, cool evenings, and a lot more room to move. Set high above the mountains, the Crescent Hotel is an easy choice for couples who would rather travel when the pace is slower. It is a good time to book a romantic getaway at a couples resort in Arkansas and take your time with it.
Relax at New Moon Spa
A late summer trip deserves a little downtime. The New Moon Spa on the garden level offers massage, facials, body treatments, and salon services. Book a couples massage, then spend a while in the infrared sauna or the hot tub before you go anywhere else.
Dining with a View
Watch the sun drop behind the mountains from Top of the Crest with a drink in hand, or head to Skybar Gourmet Pizza for pizza and Ozark views from the rooftop. Mornings start in the Crystal Dining Room, where breakfast is served under dark paneled walls and tall Victorian windows. Later, the Governor’s Bar is the place for a classic cocktail and something small to go with it.
Poolside and Beyond
Start with yoga, then take the afternoon by the pool, which is open year-round. Fill in the rest with daily resort activities like a wine tasting, a beer tasting, or a mixology class, walk the property with our resort host, or catch the complimentary shuttle downtown for shopping and dinner. When you want something livelier, head to the Frisco Sporting Club for hatchet throwing, yard games, and live music, then settle in at one of the firepits for s’mores once the sun goes down.
Add a few extras to the room while you are at it, like chocolate-covered strawberries, a charcuterie board, or a picnic basket for the lawn.
Late summer is the version of the Crescent most people never see. Come while it is quiet and enjoy the time together at your romantic escape in Eureka Springs.
