Attention teachers and educators, the Lookout Point Lakeside Inn in Hot Springs, Arkansas is filling their rooms and honoring twelve teachers in a weekend that recognizes the important work of the nation's educators.  While Hot Springs, AR may not be on the top of your vacation list today, the Lookout Point Lakeside Inn is among the country's most captivating inns, and it's worth a trip from anywhere in the U.S.  Nestled in the Ouachita Mountains overlooking a tranquil bay of beautiful Lake Hamilton, Lookout Point is a sanctuary for body and soul.

The Lookout Point Lakeside inn will honor twelve teachers for a free “Impact the World” weekend stay on December 3-5, 2010.  Teachers demonstrating the ability to positively “Impact the World” by influencing children through peace, justice, or environmental initiatives will be chosen. All teachers in all grade levels are eligible and chosen initiatives may be part of either an in-school or after school program.

Winning teachers receive a complimentary two night stay at the award winning inn, tickets to Garvan Woodland Gardens Lights on the Landscape, gourmet breakfast for two each morning, and a room for two with a stunning view of Lake Hamilton.

Innkeeper Kristie Rosset shared “We’re excited to honor teachers!  Too often we are bombarded with sad stories of intolerance, and lack of respect for others. We want to recognize teachers that are helping kids to embrace diversity and dialogue.  Cool teachers are doing amazing things with environmental, anti-racism, and stop bullying programs, for example.  We celebrate their work.”

The inn’s scenic beauty, situated in the Ouachita Mountains on Lake Hamilton, plus attention to detail promises a weekend of pampering for teachers.  The award winning inn has been featured in Southern Living, National Geographic Traveler, and on Wheel of Fortune.

All major airlines fly to Little Rock, AR.  The inn is approximately 25 miles from Little Rock.  For more information and to download an application, visit LookoutPointInn.comor call 866-525-6155.
