Don and Tina Shores would like to invite you for a romantic and memorable stay at the Chester House Inn.

Originally built in 1887, this historical hotel thrived for several years as a restful place for railroad workers. Long ago, the city of Chester, Arkansas boomed from the railroad and its' visitors. It is on the National Register of Historical Sites. We are open for reservations on Friday and Saturday evenings.

Enjoy a full breakfast menu available in the Main Street Cafe, conveniently located downstairs in the same building. Business hours are: Friday 5pm - 8pm, Saturdays 8am - 8pm, and Sunday 8am - 3pm. Nestled in the scenic byway of Highway 71, the Chester House is just minutes away from fabulous dining and shopping, and breathtaking views. Historical downtown Van Buren, AR is located twenty minutes to the South, and Fort Smith is nearby. Fayetteville, Springdale and Rogers are only minutes to the North. Enjoy the ambience of a bygone era and stay at the Chester House Inn Bed & Breakfast the next time you plan a trip to see the Razorbacks, or need a quiet, relaxing respite from shopping.

The Hotel's interiors are decorated with Antiques and Period furnishings, the ceilings are 13 to 14 feet tall. Each room has it's own personality. Air conditioners and ceiling fans in each room provide a pleasant stay; however, to keep as close to the historical experience as possible, TV and Phones are not available in the rooms. For your convenience we do have Cable TV, and a DVD/VCR player in the Day Lounge. Also, our free film library is available for your enjoyment.

Coffee is ready by 7 a.m. and breakfast by 8:30 a.m. in the Main Street Cafe located downstairs.

We hope to hear from you soon!
