This was wonderful stay for our girls bachelorette. It was peaceful and beautiful. We especially enjoyed lounging on the dock, and the other girls enjoyed the kayaks. The beds were super comfortable, after a long night out in Hot springs that was such a bonus. Everything we needed was there, including all the items for the lake, and the kitchen. I was grateful for the coffee pot and not just the keurig, as I am a big coffee drinker! It was far enough away from Hot Springs to feel like a secluded cabin, but not too far that it was inconvenient for the shopping and nights out! There were so many amenities and extras that we didn't have time to use them all! Anthony was super responsive and messaged us to see if we needed anything else after we arrived (Thank you Anthony!). We felt very safe and secure while there and had no issues. I would definitely recommend this lovely home for a nice get away to the springs.
We had a great stay and the house has everything you need

Glad you found everything you needed at the house. We keep it stocked for many of things guests need for a comfortable stay with the kitchen stocked with cooking pots, pans and multiple sets of dishes for both indoor dining or outdoor dining. The gas grill is a popular with our guests. Looking forward to hosting you again!
The lake was drained as we communicated with you in advance of your stay and offered you the opportunity to alter or cancel your stay for a full refund. Despite knowing the lake was drained, you still chose to come.
The lake levels are now returning to normal as they drain each lake in Hot Springs Village every seven years and this happened to be Lake Balboa’s year. Our lakefront property has been enjoyed by hundreds over the years, and we look forward to the lake returning to its normal beauty. We are sorry you weren’t able to experience it in its glory. We are glad you enjoyed the expansive deck as we find it relaxing as well.
This is the perfect place to go and spend time with your family. The property is surrounded by beau

Kathy we are delighted that you all had a wonderful time. The floats and kayaks have been a hit all summer. Come again soon.
This place was just what we were looking for. It was so quiet and relaxing. Host was very helpful when we got lost looking for the gates. We saw tons of wildlife and enjoyed swimming and perch fishing. The home was clean, cool, and easy to access. The beds were ver comfortable.
The home was located near family. We enjoyed the comforts of the home mostly for the overnights. It was well equipped to handle our 4 senior adults. The view was very nice. Great location and nice home.

Carter it was our pleasure to open our lakehouse to you and your family. The dock is a relaxing place for us to hang out and enjoy the views. Come again!
My family and I wanted a quick get away for the weekend. This place is amazing. Host is absolutely incredible. They are also very attentive to any questions one might have. One of the best trips and experiences with a VRBO host. If you plan on visiting Hot Springs Village, this is your place to stay.

Thanks Brain for sharing your experience. Super glad you and your family had wonderful time. Come back soon!!
We wanted to get away on a short drive vacation so 3 hour drive for us was perfect! The place was beautiful! Lots to do around Hot Springs Village! And we had no trouble keeping the grandchildren entertained! This place was lovely and a great launching pad for all our adventures! I highly recommend it!
House was very clean and organized upon arrival. Beautiful home, comfortable beds, roomy living/dining area.
Great location, gigantic deck in back with lake and boat/swim dock within steps away!
Quiet neighborhood , just a great place to chill out, swim off deck, fish, or whatever!
Owners were super nice and responded quickly to all our needs.
We loved our stay and plan on coming back!

Gary,
We also love the deck, it’s provided a scenic gathering place for many family events. Come again soon. Thanks for choosing Rest&Refresh.
The Rest and Refresh lake house was a lovely place to stay! The spacious rooms and entertainment areas like the fire pit, lake, and the back deck made our stay incredibly comfy and relaxing. We enjoyed fishing and swimming off the dock on the lake and the fire pit when it got too cold to be near the water. Sunset Grill and Molly O’Briens were some of our local favorite eats. Thank you Earsa and Anthony for loaning out your home to us!
