Weekend bliss

Wonderful stay at this property despite the weather. House has everything you need. Even had a latern light to use in case the power went out. We stayed cozy indoors listening to the rain fall and even saw deer in the front yard. This is our second time staying here and we will definitely be back.

The property is in a secluded, quiet neighborhood. Everything was clean and we were in close proximity to the Historic Downtown District of Hot Springs. The King Size bed was very comfortable and clean. The Jacuzzi tub and shower were nice!

We had a great time!

This house is charming and clean with lots of amenities. It’s located on beautiful wooded land within a neighborhood. We even saw a deer in the yard one evening. It is less than 5 minutes from all of the wonderful in-town activities including the thermal bathhouses and trails

Absolutely loved this cottage. The neighborhood was quiet and very close to all the mountain bike and hiking trails and downtown. It was very easy to feel at home in this cottage. Way more room than we (2 adults and 2 small dogs) even needed.

STAY HERE!

What a quiet and lovely place! Even though it’s close and convenient to town, the location up on the mountain makes it peaceful. The bed in the bedroom is comfy, the bathroom is unique & beautiful, and the kitchen is well-equipped (you might even find a mug for your fave NFL team!). The outdoor seating area is covered, and the trees were filled with birds. Bonus? The basement area is so fun to explore! Communication with Lauren & Mike was fantastic - they send you so many recommendations in advance of your stay. If you’re staying in Hot Springs, stay here!!!

Deer and early morning coffee

Great location, minutes away from downtown restaurants, bars etc. Private location right off of Hot Springs National Park, lots of deer roaming, good for early moring deer spotting. It was a very cozy place. Highly recommend!
