Bartee Meadow Bed & Breakfast

Welcome to Bartee Meadow

Our comfortable hilltop home is situated on thirteen wooded acres located 6 miles east of Hot Springs on Highway 70 - just 5 minutes from Magic Springs Amusement Park, and less than 10 minutes from Historic Bathhouse Row. Our secluded and very private location offers country peace and quiet, yet is convenient to Hot Springs shopping, restaurants, activities, and sightseeing. You may play on our lighted tennis court and bike on our country roads. Those who are less energetic may relax in our double hammock, feed the birds and squirrels from park benches, enjoy a basket lunch on the picnic table or the large, shady deck, and curl up on our cozy terrace swing with early morning coffee.

Hot Springs, Arkansas ~ America's First Resort!

Downtown Hot Springs is just minutes away from Bartee Meadow. Hot Springs National Park is world famous for its Bathhouse Row.  Many of these historic buildings are open to tour or to receive the full spa treatment. Hot Springs' downtown is also filled with wonderful shopping including unique art and antique galleries as well as local fine restaurants serving a variety of cuisine. Around the Hot Springs area you'll find many different activities including Oaklawn park offering thoroughbred horse racing, Magic Springs Amusement & Water Park offering fun for the whole family, interactive and educational museums, entertaining stage shows and the beautiful Garvan Woodland Gardens offering year round natural beauty in a wooded setting.

The Arts are alive in Hot Springs. Downtown art galleries  sponsor a monthly "Gallery Walk" featuring extended hours and often include the artists themselves on hand. The area also offers a wide variety of musical concerts, stage productions and nationally touring exhibits.

We love everything about food -  shopping for it, planning meals, collecting recipes, cooking it, serving it, and...best of all...eating it!

Long before our Bed & Breakfast Inn was a reality, food was a passion for us. We planned vacations with the ambition to 'eat our way through' whatever city we were visiting, gleaning ideas for new dishes and presentations. When our Bed & Breakfast was in the planning stages, every new recipe was eagerly prepared and sampled to determine if it would be guest worthy.

With that background and the experience we've gained running our B&B since 1999 we happily produced the Bartee Meadow Cookbook. It includes over 250 of our best recipes and lots of old family favorites including 'Razorback Game Day Dip', 'Bunny Food Carrot Souffle', 'Spitfire Onion Rings', 'Cozumel Chicken With Corn Waffles', 'Black-eyed Pea Cornbread', 'Antique Rice Puddings With Bourbon Sauce', 'Arkansas Trail Mix' and 'Cranberry "Floozie" Sauce'!

Our recipes are time tested and family-approved, and we trust you will get the same wonderful compliments we have been so fortunate to receive over the years.

Our new cookbook is conveniently sized at 6 x 81/2 inches so it fits nicely on a kitchen counter without taking up too much space and it uses comb binding so it lays completely flat.

You can order your copy of the cookbook using the form to the right. Your credit card will be processed by Paypal payment services through a completely safe and secure connection.

Conveniently located on Bartee Trail just 10 minutes east of downtown Hot Springs, the Meadow offers you wooded country atmosphere with easy Highway 70 access. Our 13 tree-shaded acres offer several wedding settings to accommodate different sized ceremonies from a couple only to a guest list of up to 10.

We provide our wedding services only for couples who are guests at Bartee Meadow for at least a two-night stay
