Hey guys. Hannah here! The Historian taught me just how much I love being a part of people's getaways and vacations, and because of that I am now an engineer turned travel agent. The best part is that I get paid commission from the companies I book through, so my vacation planning services are free to my client! In order to launch this business, we're doing a giveaway for some really cool items and have already gotten enough entrants for the winner to get the travel clothes steamer, ear plugs, and duffel bag!! See below to enter my giveaway and give byHannah Vacations a follow!!

1) With 25 entrants, we will give away a portable clothes steamer. My favorite for a wrinkle-free look while living out of a suitcase.

I couldn't sleep a couple nights ago, so I started to research other rentals across the state to pass the time. To my surprise I found The Historian featured in an article!

Arkansas may surprise you—or maybe not if you’ve visited before. Many natural wonders fill the state, from beautiful rivers, rolling mountains to even revitalizing hot springs. Amongst the vast forests and parks, many cabin rentals are strewn about. Ranging from simple and pure, to pampering and...

We love you, Grandma June! So blessed to be able to share your home and your books with hundreds of ES visitors. You've always seen the magic of the town and have contributed quite a bit to that magic yourself. 😘

Today is National , and to celebrate we are sharing this vintage portrait photo of the one and only June (Johnson) Westphal, notable town historian, author, and Director Emeritus of the Eureka Springs Historical Museum. Several of June's history books can be found for sale right here in the museum gift shop, including perhaps the most comprehensive history book ever written about Eureka Springs, titled 'A Fame Not Easily Forgotten'. The photo was taken in 1956. (BES 11-1153)

My daughter gave The Historian a new name today: "Little Momma's House." We stopped by to do some repairs and drop off a new umbrella for guests. Of course no umbrella in the world can keep her from dancing in the rain!

How We Got Started

A couple years ago, my husband’s grandmother, June, moved in with my mother and father in law. Since then her cute little cabin in Eureka Springs has been vacant. In efforts to bring it back to life as well as fulfill a dream of mine, my husband and I have transformed her cabin into a beautiful vacation rental/AirBnB. We began this venture in late June 2019. For 4 and a half months, our weekends were full of paint, insulation, the deepest of deep cleans, woodworking, and just a lot of designing and creating. No doubt it was a lot of work, but I’ve never been more excited about a project!!

June Westphal is an author and local historian. She’s published multiple books on the rich history of Eureka Springs and has been the recipient of several local awards. As her grandchildren, we are honored to not only celebrate her achievements but continue her passion in life. We love you, Grandma June!

Here at The Historian, excerpts from June’s books and other publications are displayed throughout the cabin. Not only will guests’ stays include an entire home complete with luxurious bedding, vintage design, smart home capabilities, a relaxing porch swing, and personal touches, but they will also get to dive into the stories of Eureka Springs! Don’t just stay in Eureka Springs. Live inside its history!

We are open for business!! Check out the website in our about page to see our listing and book your next getaway with us!
