This beautiful, very private apartment retreat, with separate outside entrance, is located on the walkout level of our hillside home, on a quiet canopied lane in Hot Springs Village. Your hosts, Jim and Jill Anderson and resident retrievers, Grace and Mac, will do everything possible to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Forest Glen is just the place to relax and enjoy the wonders of nature that abound here! Take the forest walkway to this special place, where the sounds of the woods and stream below offer serenity and peace for your special vacation. The apartment features a lovely sitting room with efficiency kitchen and soft, comfortable places for reading and relaxing. The king sized bedroom and bath are spacious and well appointed. The large covered lanai off both bedroom and sitting areas provide for comfortable and private outdoor living, year around.
If you will be travelling with friends, be sure to ask about adding on our new Sunny Oaks "Casita Style" Studio (VRBO property #254539), another wonderful oasis in the forest that is easily accessible from Forest Glen, yet with it's own private entrance and "cabana" deck. Sunny oaks features a sleeping alcove with queen bed; an efficiency kitchen; sitting area and bath. Just below the house, there is a woodland walkway leading to a forest deck and fire pit that overlooks the stream. This deck can be accessed from both Forest Glen and Sunny Oaks. It's a peaceful and serene place to enjoy the abundance of nature.
Stay for a couple of nites or a week or more… you’ll be glad you came!
The location is ideal for those wanting easy access to all Village amenities, including golf courses, fitness center, trail systems, outdoor pools, tennis center and 12 beautiful lakes! Our quiet lane is a great place to take a “walk with nature” as it loops around thru the forest and back to your starting point..... exactly a mile in length. Along the way you may see deer, the red-tailed hawk, a turtle or two and lots of wildflowers. You may hear an owl and much conversation among birds in the canopy above. Forest Glen is "dog friendly" and we will warmly welcome your travel companion, providing he/she has good house manners (no destructive or disruptive behavior). A small pet fee is required.
Hot Springs Village is America's largest gated community and is a wonderful place to vacation or live, with spectacular scenery, moderate climate, warm and friendly people, relaxed and casual lifestyle and some of the best golf, boating and recreational opportunities you’ll find anywhere! Hot Springs Village and neighboring Hot Springs (just 20 minutes away!) also offer great restaurants, live music/concerts, art galleries and events, botanical gardens, horse racing at Oaklawn, family fun at Magic Springs and Crystal Falls and lots of shopping! In a nutshell... it’s the whole package, a great vacation destination or lifestyle choice for retirees or an entire family!
Lake Ouachita State Park and Marina is just 20 minutes from the Village West Gate. Lake Ouachita, dubbed “Arkansas’ Ocean”, is 50 miles long with 200+ islands for camping and relaxing…….. it is a vacation paradise for those who love boating and fishing.

Forest Glen "Lanai" Apartment-$65/Night-Multi-Night Discounts
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Hot Springs Village
Today we are happily living the good life in Hot Springs Village. We decided on the Village after much on-line and in-person research. We wanted a beautiful spot, with low cost of living and lots of amenities that would be close to our children in Mississippi and Texas. We purchased our first townhome in 2007 and lived in it while we built our new home here. Later, we decided to keep the townhome and make it available to friends and family who visit and occasional paying guests. We have had so many requests for bookings that we decided last summer to add our guest apartment, here at the house, to give us two vacation rental options. This spring, we added a third property, another townhome, to the mix. So, now we have something for everyone and since we love hosting people who come to the Village to explore, play and enjoy themselves, we are truly in our element…..it’s almost like the B&B, but without the Breakfast!
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment
We furnish our units with comfortable furniture and quality bedding. They are all nicely decorated with things we love….a few “family" antiques, original art and momentos we have picked up on our many travels. We are dog friendly, knowing that since our two golden retrievers are part of our family, your canine companions must be too! We look forward to making one of our vacation rentals your “home away from home”!

My boyfriend and I enjoyed a quick weekend trip to Hot Springs and were lucky enough to snag this wonderful little place tucked into the woods by a beautiful creek in Hot Springs Village. The layout was wonderful, the apt. super clean and everything provided for a relaxing weekend. Thank you owners for allowing us to have a mini-vacation away from the stressful work week!

My husband and I and our Lab, Dixie, had our second stay here the last week in June. This place is wonderful - all the little extras do truly make if feel homey and comfortable. Nice linens, comfortable king size bed - everything is of good quality and so so clean - I hope to never have to stay anywhere else in HSV. This year they had added the steps and deck landing down toward the creek - great place to chill and read and what a wonderful area to walk and enjoy the mountains ! I want to keep this a little secret but can't say enough good things about it . Good job to Jill & Jim. Thanks very much - Joel & Patti Patterson

My husband and I just returned from 4 days at the Forest Glen apartment. What a lovely place. Everything that you might need was provided for you and the apartment was very clean and spacious. We loved the private deck in the back, the very comfortable king size bed, and the spacious bathroom. We will recommend this place to friends and we hope to visit again ourselves!
Owner response:We love making our apartments the best that they can be and we always try hard to think of all the right things to have on hand for our guests. We appreciate knowing that Forest Glen is a comfortable and relaxing place to stay!

What a wonderful place to stay while visiting Hot Springs Village. It was perfect for the week we were here. Loved all the different nick-knacks about the apartment, as well as the view from the deck. When we return to Hot Springs Village, we will definitely stay here again.

We just spent two nights here and enjoyed it very much so much we bought property in the Village. We had questions about building there that the owners were very helpful with. It is a beautiful location. The deck is great with the creek bubbling away. We will definately be back! It is a beautiful location. The deck is great with the creek bubbling away.

Forest Glenn was perfect! It provided everything I needed for my quiet, restful "momcation". I didn't eat out at all during my stay - the wonderful kitchenette had everything I needed to whip up breakfast, lunch, and dinner! The location is wonderful, right in the middle of the Village, and only minutes from the fitness center, lakes, nature trails and more. Next time, I'm bringing my bike!
