Eclipse 2024

Book/Check Availability

On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will pass over our area, as the moon passes in front of the sun, creating nighttime-like darkness here for over 4 minutes.

The area of maximum eclipse duration will pass right over our county here in Arkansas, with Pocahontas being the nearest city to the eclipse center line in our area, and with Lesmeister Guesthouse being the logical place to call your home base while you await this rare event! more…

Cancellation Policy: You can cancel a reservation and receive a refund of your reservation deposit, less a $25 cancellation fee, as long as the cancellation is made at least one week before your scheduled arrival date. If you cancel on shorter than one week’s notice, we will charge you for two night’s lodging (or for one night if you only booked one night) unless we are able to rent the room to someone else on short notice. If you do not show up for your reservation at all, and don’t contact us, we will hold the room for you, in case you’ve had travel delays, and you’ll be charged for the whole stay you booked.
