When you visit Arkansas, the Little Shamrock Motel in the heart of Murfreesboro is the perfect place for you, your family, and your pets to stay. This motel boasts a resort-like atmosphere and provides guests with a range of room options, including single, double, and triple rooms, most of which are equipped with mini-fridges, microwaves, and coffee makers. Simply check out the photos on our Gallery page to get a better idea of what we offer.
Our guests come to enjoy the great outdoors hiking fishing hunting swimming not to mention the Crater of Diamond and Ka Do Ha where everyone gets to play in the dirt, mud, water like kids…. LSM is a family focused, kid orientated motel first built in 1965 and then expanded and remodeled in 2004. Children having fun here is our focus, here as in our motel and the town.
Our rates include pretty much everything on site, we don’t own the Coke machine so that costs ya, the pool house and outside riding toys are free to registered guests as is the charcoal for our grills. BTW our rates don’t change for the weekend, with the exception of the Eclipse of April 2024, because we are trying in our way, to help young families have an adventure with their children. Thus, the Ireland Hotel down the road, our sister location is adult focused, check out the website…..
Our rooms are ‘county cozy’ or ‘like grandma’s place’ for the relaxed atmosphere, kick off your shoes or boots (I hope at the door) and enjoy. No we do not update with the current decorating styles each year as others may. Why? Our guests want to relax, they have been digging, are tired, dirty, may have brought some bugs with them from the field that are biting them and they don’t know it yet. Remember you were just in a dirt field… Okay and much of that seems to come into the rooms, dirt, rocks, muck, bugs..yes your bring the bugs in.
We want everyone to enjoy their time including the housekeepers that cleanup after everyone and maintenance who try to keep up with breakdowns and damages ( please don’t do it on purpose)
To that end our rooms are functional, have amenities and are clean.
We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover.
Book a room in advance or simply stop by on your way to the Crater of Diamonds.

Our grills are ready to go and come with charcoal. If you need to stock up on supplies, there’s a grocery store just down the street. Well there was, it had a fire in 2023 so, Bring Your Meat !
There are also several local restaurants and businesses within easy walking distance.
Stop by Hawkins Variety (open most days) for sandwiches that can’t be found anywhere else, delicious ice cream, and a nostalgic soda bar. This eclectic shop offers a wide range of items, and also leads into Southern Specialties, where you can find unique raw diamond jewelry, as well as a variety of other jewelry, gifts, and home items. A visit to Hawkins Variety is a must-try experience.
Along with Hawkins Variety, there are several other dining options in town, including Mexican, Southern, and Cajun restaurants. You’ll also find a Sonic on the outskirts of town.
The town square is a hub of activity, with regular festivals and shows taking place. This is also where you’ll find some of the town’s shops and cafes. As you make your way to the Crater of Diamonds or KaDoHa Indian Village, you’ll pass through the town square.
Also located in the heart of the Town Square is our sister property, the Ireland Hotel.
