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.

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.
Sale price of the book is $14.95.
Tax for Arkansas residents is $1.36 (9 1/8%).
Shipping and handling is $5.00 per book.Purchase Online :
