A group of us are considering taking some vacation time and heading to Arkansas this summer. Seen online about a place called Cliff House Inn near Jasper, Arkansas. Wondering if anybody has stayed there and if there is a lot of good riding in the area. thanks!!!

 

My dad lives in Jasper, we visit the Cliff House Inn when we go and see him,,,It is located on hwy 7,,,this particular hwy is awesome,,,You will get a view of the Arkansas Grand Canyon,,,Great sceneic hwy if your on a bike, alot of twisties and very slow curves......It is really a great little town, i think the population is around 310...

 

At Thanksgiving a couple of friends and I stayed in Jasper. The Cliff House Inn was closed but we stayed at a little motel in town. It was nice. FWIW Jasper is a dry town (bring your own adult beverages). ONE of the BEST roads I have ever been on comes out of Jasper...HWY 74. It is awesome!!!

 

awesome riding, good eats, but stay in Harrison or Eureka, not there

 

Shooter64--What didn't you like about staying at this place--any suggestions on a motel to stay at? The Cliff House looks like a rustic place to stay--Just wondering?????

 

I agree with Shooter, I would stay in Eureka Springs if I was you. I have never stayed at the Cliff House, but I have stayed in Eureka many times and it is such a neat town. A good central location to lots of great riding. If you are taking your wives, there is all kinds of shopping to be found there. I believe that there is a motel called the Iron horse stables that caters to bikes only.

 

There is a motel north of Jasper called The Hub that caters to bikers. I've never been there. Plan on checking it out this spring. It has a website.

Did a trip to Arkansas last August...ate lunch at the Cliffhouse Inn. The owner was great! The place was 5 minutes from closing for the day...he saw my group and I pull up on our bikes and he came runnin' outside to us and said "C'mon in...we're just about ready to close, so you guys will be the last group that we serve". We basically had the place to ourselves. Service was fast and the owner encouraged us to hang around as long as we liked. Of course, we tried to hurry it up so as not to make them have to stay any longer than they already were. Food was very good and the view was breathtaking! Can't comment on the actual motel part of Cliffhouse, as we didn't stay there. But I do agree with what others have said about lodging in Eureka Springs and the Harrison area. Eureka Springs is a VERY biker-friendly town with a gazillion places to stay and eat. Along with The Hub, that somebody already mentioned...there are 2 other motels that specifically cater to bikers in the area - one is located in Eureka Springs and it's called Rider's Rest. The other is located in Berryville (a few miles east of Eureka Springs on Hwy 62) and it's called Iron Horse Stables.

Personally, I don't think you can go wrong with either of these places. The riding in the Ozarks is top-notch! Not a bad road in the entire area! Here is a website that is a great resource for planning motorcycle trips to the Ozarks.
