Some vacation rentals are so unique that they’re an experience all their own. Not so sure? That’s just because you haven’t been to Texaco Bungalow! Once an actual Texaco gas station, it’s since been transformed into a cozy cottage. Not only is it utterly unique, but it’s conveniently located within walking distance of shopping, dining, and entertainment.
Texaco Bungalow is located in the heart of the historic residential district of Eureka Springs.
Aptly named, the bungalow is housed in an early-20th century gas station, which has been re-purposed for overnight lodging.

The bungalow is on the smaller side, but it doesn’t feel that way, thanks, in part, to an open floor plan.
Only adding to its spacious feel are several windowed doors, which enable guests to enjoy an indoor/outdoor living experience.
Ideal for two guests, Texaco Bungalow features a living area, kitchen, and bedroom with a king bed and attached bath.
Sure to be a relaxing stay, the living room is spacious and cozy with a comfy corner that’s perfect for napping or curling up with a good book.
The secluded patio space is also great for lounging. Of course, you can always venture to downtown Eureka Springs, which is just three blocks away and filled with restaurants, shops, art galleries, and more.

You’ll have a holly jolly time when staying at The Candy Cane Lane in Prairie Grove.
A vintage travel trailer turned holiday wonderland, it’s decked out in yuletide décor from floor to ceiling.
Some might even say that there’s a tad too much décor – and that’s the point! It’s supposed to be delightfully tacky.
More specifically, it's made to look as if "your black-sheep uncle drank too much special eggnog and threw up vintage Christmas decorations all over this trailer."
The decorations aren’t the only features that help guests get into the holiday spirit, though. There’s also a typewriter for composing letters to Santa as well as a collection of classic Christmas movies and albums.
A stocking-adorned fireplace only adds to the seasonal vibes.
With a sofa that folds out into a full bed and two twin sofa beds, The Candy Cane Lane sleeps four guests.
It doesn’t have a bathroom or kitchen. However, both are just steps away, and that’s because The Candy Cane Lane Airbnb is part of Flamingo Springs, a 1950s Palm Springs-inspired trailer resort. The 50-acre wooded resort features six themed vintage travel trailers.
