The land where Eureka Springs, Arkansas, sits is Osage land. Though the Osage people protected their land from neighboring tribes, they allowed people from any tribe—hostile neighbors or not—to bring their ill onto the ground to visit the innate springs, believed to include healing properties. This historic, benevolent gesture of goodwill is well-remembered in present-day Eureka Springs. Just seek locals David and Ethan Avanzino, who jointly scamper the Wanderoo Lodge—an LGBTQ-owned and -operated outdoor adventure lodge in the heart of Eureka Springs.
“I transitioned in in corporate America,” says Ethan. At the time, he was living in Dallas, Texas, and working a corporate position with a company that affirmed his identity. “When the Texas ‘bathroom bill’ came out, I knew that I was privileged, white, middle class, and accepted by all the people in my circle, and I realized this fight was something I could dedicate time to.

For some of these people, it was the first time that they could say they knew a trans person.”

Eureka Springs, AR – A Gay-Friendly and Diverse Healing Resort
Eureka Springs, Arkansas is known for being a gay-friendly place where people gather for recreation and healing in the miraculous healing springs in the area. It is also a very popular site for gay and female homosexual wedding ceremonies with its own Metropolitan Community Church. The Arkansas Democrat Gazette calls this city the “haven for the state’s eccentrics.” This is a place known for its Victorian architecture and unreal gay-run businesses, which incorporate art galleries, specialty shops, restaurants and bed & breakfasts. Eureka Springs is located in the Ozark Mountains of northwest Arkansas.
One of the nicknames for the resort is “Little Switzerland” because of its steep streets that are filled with cottages and manors. It is also called the Wedding Capital of the South and it was the first city in Arkansas to officially endorse same-sex marriage and the first and only city in the state with a Home Partnership Registry.
The entire town is built in one long five-mile loop that climbs up the mountain. The majestic hills in the area are dotted with resort hotels
