The cottage was nice and in a great location to walk around hot springs and centrally located to do multiple activities in the area to include hot springs, hiking lovers leap and whitewater rafting. Highly recommend to stay at.
Love the cabin. Tiny but perfect. The host is gracious and the cabin was squeaky clean. If you like rustic mountain towns, you’ll be happy here.

Relaxing two-night stay
My wife and I own property nearby and wanted to support Hot Springs after the devastating flood last year. The Boat House was a small, cozy rental that was perfect for my wife and me. It was very clean and we were very satisfied. Hot Springs is coming back to life but it needs visitors to support its businesses.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for choosing to stay at The Boat House—we truly appreciate your support of Hot Springs as the community continues to recover and rebuild. We're so glad the space was a clean, cozy fit for you and your wife, and we’d be happy to welcome you back anytime!
The cabin is cute, well appointed, and it's bigger than it looks like in the photos. It was quite comfortable and it's in a great location. I would consider staying here again. The only thing that kept this review from being 5 stars is that we had a small issue and contacted the local contact person and didn't receive any reply until after we'd checked out. We were able to talk with the management company but they weren't able to resolve the issue.
We enjoyed our stay at the Boat House! It was a beautiful space, very clean, with a wonderful view of a stream off the back porch. The townsfolk were also very welcoming.
Small but very functional and comfortable.I would stay there again. Only negative was the TV set up. The remotes are a bit crazy to figure out.

Cute and cozy
The cabin was cute, cozy, and centrally located. Plenty of areas to walk to and visit near the cabin, and lots of great hiking only a short drive down the road!
It was such a cute place! Will definitely stay again. Everything it said it was. Bed was a little hard. Could use a pillow top cover. But still would highly recommend. It’s perfect. And will be back
We had a great stay. Our favorite part was sitting on the back deck overlooking the creek just watching and listening to the water. We also loved that we were in walking distance to everything in town so we hardly drove at all once we got the Boat House.
Charming accommodation right on Spring Creek within walking distance to everything. Perfect place for relaxation and rejuvenation. Going to sleep with the sounds of the creek was magical. This will be our spot to go to in Hot Springs from now on.
We loved our stay. Sitting on the big back porch seeing & hearing creek flowing was an added bonus. Walking distance to great restaurants & a few shops. The room was very clean & fully stocked with basic needs.
The Boathouse is super cute with a great location to town. It overlooks a beautiful creek making a comforting and relaxing environment. It was clean and inviting. We will definitely stay here again.
