🎃💀 A Little Halloween Tale from The Fairy Hut! 🧚‍♂️👻

Sometimes, when you own a nightly rental, you find yourself wondering whether your guests appreciate your decorating choices… or whether they arrive, take one look at the Halloween horrors lurking around the front porch, and question their decision to book. 😂

Well, yesterday I got my answer!

It all started when I learned that the hot water heater’s safety switch had needed resetting. Considering its age and a few previous issues, I decided not to tempt fate. A replacement was purchased, and an emergency round of preventative plumbing was in order. After all, the only cold showers we want at The Fairy Hut are the kind that send chills down your spine! 💀🚿

Fortunately, the best property manager on the planet worked her magic and coordinated with our guests to find a time they’d be out enjoying Eureka Springs, allowing the plumber and me to sneak in and replace the water heater without interrupting their getaway.

While inside, I headed over to the breaker box, glanced toward the bed, and suddenly my heart smiled. ❤️

Our guests had strung a strand of lighted 🎃 jack-o’-lanterns across the headboard!

There I was, worrying that the skeletons, skulls, cobwebs, and assorted dearly departed residents haunting the front porch might be a bit much for our visitors…

Meanwhile, our guests had brought their own Halloween spirit and were decorating the INSIDE! 😂

Apparently, we didn’t scare them away. We found our people! 🧡🖤

And just like that, a day that began with hot water heater trouble ended with a little reminder of why I love sharing The Fairy Hut with visitors to Eureka Springs.

The living are welcome, the dead are already here, and apparently everybody loves Halloween! 🎃💀🧚‍♂️

🎃👻 IS IT TIME FOR HALLOWEEN TO RETURN TO THE FAIRY HUT? 👻🎃

We need your help making a very important Fairy Hut decision…

Back in 2023, we threw Halloween ALL OVER The Fairy Hut. 😂

Lights. Skeletons. Spooky creatures. A porch full of Halloween. The lot got involved. Pretty much anything that could glow, hang, rattle, lurk or look suspicious after dark found a home.

Then came 2024 — nothing.

And 2025 — nothing again.

Two Halloweens without a properly spooky Fairy Hut just might be enough.

Especially considering where we are.

The Fairy Hut sits just up and past Lake Lucerne, and if you’ve spent much time around Eureka Springs, you already know that sometimes the line between local history, ghost story and something you actually saw gets a little blurry.

My husband, Albyrt, has seen the same young girl along Lake Lucerne more than once.

She’s standing near the edge of the road.

Dressed in what appears to be 1930s clothing.

And she’s soaking wet.

Then she’s gone.

So perhaps a place called The Fairy Hut, just up the road from our mysterious wet girl, has a certain responsibility to participate in Halloween. 👻🧚‍♀️

Which brings us to 2026…

SHOULD WE BRING HALLOWEEN BACK TO THE FAIRY HUT?

And if we do, WHEN SHOULD WE START DECORATING? 🎃

September 1 — Halloween people understand.

Mid-September — a little restraint.

October 1 — perfectly respectable.

Or whenever that first cool Ozark evening hits and you suddenly feel like something is watching you from the woods. 👀

But we have another question this year…

WHEN DOES HALLOWEEN COME DOWN?

Halloween falls on a Saturday this year, and taking everything down Sunday, November 1st, just seems a little cruel.

Would you leave it all up through the following weekend so our early-November guests still get to experience a little Fairy Hut Halloween?

🎃 November 1 — It’s over. Take it down!

👻 Leave it through the following weekend — let the spooky linger!

💀 Keep it up until somebody complains.

And we’d really like to hear what YOU do.

When do your Halloween decorations go UP…and when do they come DOWN?

We’re taking votes.

After sitting out Halloween in 2024 AND 2025, maybe 2026 is the year The Fairy Hut gets spooky again. 🎃💀👻🧚‍♀️

After all…

This is Eureka Springs. We probably shouldn’t make the ghosts do all the decorating.

🧚‍♀️✨ From Noodle Art to Peace Poles… Meet the Artist Behind Some of The Fairy Hut’s Magic! ✨🧚‍♀️

My incredibly talented niece, Emma Palmer, visitedThe Fairy Hut!

Guests often notice the two colorful Peace Poles that welcome them at the entrance. What many don’t know is that both were hand-painted and gifted to The Fairy Hut by Emma. ☮️🌈

Emma’s artistic journey started early. When she was just 9 years old, she created amazing “Noodle Art” sculptures that earned recognition and amazed everyone who saw them. One of those original creations still hangs proudly inside The Fairy Hut today.

Swipe through the photos to see:

I couldn’t be prouder of the artist she has become. ❤️

Well… things just got a little more magical (and a little more chaotic) up at the Fairy Hut 🧚‍♂️✨

We’ve added a brand new adult coloring book by one of our very own Eureka Springs legends—local artist, dog whisperer, and certified lover of all things four-legged 🐾

So now, in between porch sittin’, mountain gazin’, and whatever mischief the Ozarks inspire… you can grab the coloring pens, crack open this book, and let your inner woodland gremlin run wild.

Stay inside the lines… or don’t. We don’t judge here.

BUT—we do want to see what you create 👀
Leave your masterpiece behind, snap a pic, tag us, send smoke signals… however you share it, we’re here for it.

And if you decide you can’t live without it (fair warning: that happens), you can snag your own copy right here:

Come for the stay… leave slightly more unhinged and creatively fulfilled 🌿🎨🐕
