Today, we are headed to Branson, MO. but, not without a stop to have breakfast at the Mud Street Café. The café is located in the heart of Eureka Springs. If you want a specialty coffee and a great breakfast, this is the place.
Branson is known for its theatre shows such as, Yakov, Acrobats of China, and Presley’s Country Jubilee to name a few. There are several country music performers, who have their own show theatres. During the summer, shows are plentiful for tourist.

After driving around the town, we proceeded to Chateau on the Lake, in Branson. This high class resort sits on top of a knoll, perched like a castle.

On our way back to Eureka Springs, we stopped at Big Cedar Lodge “The Ozarks’ Premier Wilderness Resort”, for lunch at the Buzzard Saloon. The lodge has several man made waterfalls. You have to drive across one of the falls to enter into the resort. We toured the lodge, which is decorated with several wild animals such as, Raccoons, Elk, Deer, Coyote’s, Owls, etc… All the metal work is cut into various animal shapes.

OK, its back to Eureka Springs where we ended our evening at a very quaint restaurant called “The Horizon” at Beaver Lake. The restaurant is located approx. 5 miles outside of Eureka Springs, nestled in the mountains over looking Beaver Lake. We arrived in time to watch the sunset as we waited for our meal. We all, loved our meals and highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Eureka Springs.
