Photo selected for the Southern Living article
On Thursday we received a call from a guest, congratulating Lookout Point for selection in Southern Living Magazine’s “Best of the South”. What a delightful phone call to receive!
The January, 2010 edition of Southern Living includes articles featuring the “Best of” from many states. Southern Living named the Best Attraction in Arkansas–Hot Springs National Park. And the place to stay: Lookout Point! Also included is McClard’s Bar-B-Q for lunch (yummy) and relaxing at the Quapaw Baths & Spas, with dinner at Rolando’s Nuevo Latino Restaurant.
We’re truly honored and humbled to be recognized by such a great magazine. Check it out–get a copy of the new Southern Living.

It it such a great feeling to be a part of a couple’s special day, and this day was very special for Stephanie and Rodney Gibbs. According to the family of this recently married couple, their marriage has been a long time coming. The couple has been dating since they were fifteen years old, which is a trend in the family, because Stephanie’s brother and his wife also started dating when they were fifteen. An intimate ceremony took place on the peaceful labyrinth and the reception followed in the dining room. A beautiful bride and her handsome groom both gleamed with joy as members of the family came forward and toasted the newlyweds. It was a lovely wedding for this sweet couple and their loving family!
We wish you two the best of luck and a happy marriage filled with lots of love and gorgeous children. Also, best of luck with the twin girls on the way!

One of mother nature’s unexpected “gifts” is a water fountain “pond” filled with brim. I’m not a fisherperson, but it’s those lake fish with a blue spot on their sides. There’s probably 100 brim in the pond, plus the 30 goldfish. We are continually inviting guests to fish the brim, and release them the lake—-or take them home in their own cooler. I’m not cooking the fish!
Today our wonderful guest Raymond enjoyed some fishing in our pond, and caught 3 brim in a short amount of time. Yeah! The one goldfish snagged was happily released to swim with his friends.
If you want some easy fishing, come on to Lookout Point. Pull up a chair, sit in the shade, and fish away. Sip on a glass of wine or beer, and RELAX.
I haven’t figured out how to have a fishing tournament in our pond. Any ideas?

In preparation for an October wedding, Kelley chose to have her bridal portraits 
taken at Lookout Point Lakeside Inn. The labyrinth, gardens, and interior of the inn compose a stunning background for a beautiful bride. To schedule a time for a bridal photography session, simply call the inn at 501-525-6155. Cost is only $50 for one hour, and includes up to 4 people (bride, photographer, assistant, and mother of the bride).
Photographer Jason with The Photo Standard went to great lengths to get the perfect shot, including standing on a balcony railing, capturing a photo on labyrinth. He also stood on a tall ladder to snap a shot of the bride leaning over a balcony. It was fun!
