“It’s a little out of the box, especially since we are from New Jersey. We stayed in a treehouse, then in a Safari tent at a cat sanctuary. We toured a haunted hotel, ate great BBQ, and went antiquing. It was the greatest trip ever! —Karen

Eureka Springs, AR (pop. 2,100) – It’s strange but true: this tiny village in northwest Arkansas’s Ozark Mountains has for decades been a bona fide LGBTQ hot spot, especially among urban dwellers of South-Central U.S. cities like Dallas, Oklahoma City, and Kansas City. Although religious and political conservatism prevail in this part of the world, and this hilly town of quaint Victorian buildings and narrow topsy-turvy streets is home to a 66-foot-tall statue of Christ, Eureka Springs could not be more inclusive. You’ll find more than a dozen B&Bs and historic hotels that eagerly welcome LGBTQ guests, and three times a year, the town hosts well-attended Diversity Weekends featuring dance parties, drag shows, arts and crafts fairs, transgender workshops, kids entertainment, and more.
