Stay at the Happy Hollow and take a free water bottle to taste the fresh spring water.  

Located in the heart of Hot Springs, Arkansas, the Happy Hollow holds a rich historical legacy. Originally part of the famed McLeod’s Amusement Park, a bustling tourist destination from the late 19th to mid-20th centuries, the property has been home to numerous attractions including a photo studio, a shooting gallery, a zoo, and a store for souvenirs.

Celebrating 10 years in business, this locally owned and operated establishment boasts on-site management, ensuring fast, friendly service, and personal attention to detail. Surrounded by the serene beauty of Hot Springs National Park, guests enjoy direct access to hiking trails and are mere steps away from the celebrated Happy Hollow Spring, renowned for its pristine water.
