Rooms in
the River View Hotel are simple and evocative of earlier times. Room 6,
at right, retains the original 1920's hotel furnishings including a bureau
and a wash stand. The hotel has been modified over the years, and all rooms
now include a private bath. |

We’re not the least expensive
place in town. On the other hand, we do
offer 100% cotton sheets and linens that we dry outside on the clothes
line. No synthetic fabrics. Natural citrus cleaners
without harsh chemicals. No
employees, so Linda and I do all the cleaning (with help from our friend Jane),
making beds, yard work and landscaping (with help from our grandson, Lee),
etc. This is the only hotel in Calico
Rock and the only lodging in Calico Rock on the National Register of Historic
places. We care about this old hotel
and are scrupulous in our work to keep it immaculate, without introducing
fancy. Guests have told us that in all their travels,
this is their favorite place to stay.
