Great Lodge

We have stayed at this property for several years and have always enjoyed the stay. Hot Springs is a fun town and the fishing is great. The property is wonderful and having a firepit on the stream behind the house is perfect for relaxing time. The owners are pleasant, easy to work with, and always responsive.

Anniversary celebration

Our stay at Red Bridge Lodge was awesome! Loved the backyard fire pit and the creek and swimming hole was a perfect place to spend our free day relaxing after visiting Max Patch and surrounding area! The kids played in the water all day!. Downtown and local breweries and spas were just a walk away. Would book again. Owners were super fast responding to our inquiry's

Red Bridge Lodge

Great location and plenty of room for a large family for gatherings. This property has everything you need and has the Spring Creek running right through the property for fishing and tubing. The floor plan is modern yet utilizes the charm of a historical home. Would highly recommend this property and the owners could not have been more accommodating.

Perfect location and hosts

Everything was outstanding with the house. The location can't be beat walkable to town and Hot Springs Spa. Chris and Amy offered wonderful suggestions, such as businesses to help with fly fishing, skeet shooting and all the info needed about restaurants and such in the town and others in nearby towns. It was great to build a fire and sit and hear the water rushing. Dusti

Wonderful!

The house is big and very functional. Kitchen has everything you’d need. The bedrooms are spacious and comfy. The yard is amazing! Has a stream running through it, has a fire pit and places to eat or hang out. All the restaurants and shops are a block away but it’s still peaceful and quiet. We want to come back!

Restorative Retreat at Red Bridge

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the RBL. We had everything we needed and more to make our retreat even more enjoyable. The house was clean and neat with a cozy vibe. The beautiful kitchen was well stocked with all of the essentials. The rooms were spacious and laid out perfect. Perfect amount of bedrooms to accommodate us all. The land provided a beautiful setting and we loved the fire pit on Spring Creek. Chris & Amy were very responsive and accommodating. We were even blessed with a beautiful snowfall. It was a 5 star plus rating.

We had wonderful time in Hot Springs. The house was very convenient to downtown and exhibited great architecture and history. The back heard is huge with a lovely fire pit right on Spring Creek. The only downside was that the mattresses could use an upgrade, but that was a minor inconvenience. I would definitely recommend staying here.

This is a beautiful and very unique property. It was perfect for our family ages 6-81. My father-in-law has mobility issues but was able to navigate the mostly flat yard to the stream and fish which brought him a lot of joy. Our kids love to swim and there is a swimming hole perfect for swimming, and there are rocks for wading if you do not want to go all the way in. We never really left the house, but there is a tubing outfit just down the street, a good pizza place, outfitter store, hardware store and of course the brewery with great live music and food. If you like to hike there are a number of hikes within walking and driving distance. We definitely recommend this property as a neat place to get away for all ages. The owners are super nice and helpful and we wish them the best as Hot Springs continues to rebuild from the hurricane.

The Red Bridge Lodge is amazing. So much space for everyone and the outside space is beautiful. We enjoyed an afternoon soaking in the creek behind the lodge. The location is perfect if you are attending a wedding at the Magnolia House which is just across the red bridge. It is also just a minute walk to the Big Pillow Brewery.

Still perfect!

This was our second stay here. First was last year before Helene. The house has been restored to its pre hurricane glory. It looks fabulous with no sign of damage. The town is recovering well. Had plenty of things to do and many food options. We hiked on the AT from Max Patch to Hot Springs and it was in great shape too. The Hot Springs resort is open and we enjoyed the hot mineral bath. The house is amazing - large, well stocked and perfect for a family get together. We had 9 adults and two small kids. Everyone had space and slept well. We cooked meals and ate together at the huge table. Played ping pong. Enjoyed the cool mountain air on the porch and patio. Plus you can walk to everything in town. Highly recommend!

Famiky Favorite

Our family of 22 stayed in Hot Springs (12 at the Red Bridge Lodge, 7 next door at the Red Bridge Cottage, and 3 a couple of blocks away)for several days. We all agreed it was a joyous time together and a "must come again" kind of vacation. The lodge is beautiful and accommodated 3 small families perfectly. Having Spring Creek in the backyard was simply wonderful for all the kids of every age... and for the adults, as well. We swam, floated, fished, and laughed all day long. At night we played cornhole, badminton and ping pong. Each day ended with roasted marshmallows around the campfire and more smiles. Big Pillow Brewery, just steps away, was loads of fun, too, with good music and great food! And I wouldn't want to forget to mention our memorable floating trip down the French Broad with the local rafting company! I could go on and on, but I would just be repeating all the great things everyone else has to say about this incredible home, its glorious backyard, and the convenient location. Thank you, Chris and Amy, for being warm hosts and for sharing your home with us!

Idyllic and Perfect!

The house and property were perfect for our long weekend visit with our young adult children. The house has plenty of room, with comfortable beds and hanging out areas including a big, welcoming and well-stocked kitchen and dining area. The house was clean and bright inside and well-air-conditioned. We loved the location along the river and truly enjoyed spending time in the river and in the big yard. We liked the house’s central location in town, with the coffee house, brewery, taqueria and outfitters less than a 5 minute walk away. The hosts were readily available when we had questions. Thank you!

Great place in a great town.

We loved our time at this property, and we would 10/10 stay here again. In prior trips to Hot Springs, we have stayed at cabins in the mountains, sometimes overlooking the town and sometimes farther away, but this was the first time we stayed in town. We loved it. The house itself has plenty of room and is well kept. The owners are next-level responsive - super easy to deal with. The backyard is great. In fact, the thing we most enjoyed about the house was being able to sit by Spring Creek, listen to the flow of the water, light a fire, and enjoy the outdoors. The location is great. Big Pillow Brewery - one of our favorite places anywhere - is just steps away, and it was a daily landing spot for us, both for the beverages and the tacos from the Grey Eagle Taqueria located there. Our other stops included Spring Creek Tavern, Vinyl Pies Pizza, Iron Horse Station, and Vaste Riviere Provisions, all of which are not more than a two-minute walk. Smoky Mountain Diner is on the other side of town, but it, too, is a very comfortable walk for us. Every morning, we walked over to Artisun and picked up coffee, and we made several trips to Gentry Hardware (a great local hardware store) and Bluff Mountain Outfitters just to look around and stock up on shirts, gadgets, and the like. All an easy walk. Hot Springs was already a special place, but staying here helped us see it from a different angle. Highly recommend.
