2BR 2BA Historic Prospect Home with Hot Tub & Boat Rental Option
If location, comfort, and attention to detail are what you’re looking for in your next getaway, then The Apricottage is your perfect choice.
This cottage is set next to the Ouachita National Forest and backs up to the bottom of West Mountain. It's also located right in the heart of downtown Hot Springs just a few short blocks from the visitor center on Bath House Row. The Home is 1660 square feet, has a very unique layout, and is set back from the sidewalk under a beautiful canopy of Oak trees. The home, located in the Quapaw-Prospect Historic neighborhood, is always bustling. We suggest kicking back on the front porch and watching all the joggers, hikers, mingling neighbors and cyclists cruise by. You will also hear the church bells ring from time to time. The back deck & yard has a cozy feel. We have hot tub on the deck under a canopy with seating around it, fire pit with Adirondack chairs, a fountain, table for 6 with umbrella and a grill. It’s ready for entertaining. The interior and exterior of the home was beautifully renovated in 2022 w/ modern fixtures, artistic, well made furniture & loaded w/ all the amenities needed for a quiet stay or a fun get together. Whether you have a day on the lake, relax at the spa, or a night on the town, The Apricottage is the perfect place to come back home to each night.
The proximity to Bath House Row is a short 6 blocks away and the entrance to West Mountain is one block up. The cottage also makes for a great rallying point when meeting up with other guests in town. We have parking for up to 4 cars and have street parking as well. This house can sleep 6 comfortably with 2 king beds and a blow up mattress with ample bedding and pillows ready for use. This 2 bedroom, 2 full bath home, while quaint still provides ample privacy due to the layout. You don’t have to worry about heavy traffic from the race track here in the downtown area, but still the track is only five minutes away. The Cottage was built in 1922 & has a prime location to the best restaurants, shopping, & bars in Downtown Hot Springs. The Apricottage is decorated with local art & the eclectic decor is not just for looks, but functionality & comfort. The kitchen is fully equipped for the best cooks & stocked and ready to serve dozens of guests. We encourage gatherings for dinner parties, special events or holidays. There is a covered sitting porch for rainy days and a large back deck for entertaining. There are four Adirondack chairs around the fire pit off the deck w/ plenty of firewood to burn on cool nights. We provide a gas grill, washer/dryer, Wi-Fi, 3 TV's (in each bedroom) & a gas fireplace. On-site parking is available under a small canopy of trees surrounded by beautiful newly planted landscaping. If hiking is your thing, drive up West Mountain for an easy hike along the Ridge on Sunset Trail. We’re located 10 mins from Lake Hamilton, 5 mins to Oaklawn Race Track & Casino and just steps to Downtown. We also have a Party Barge ready to rent on Lake Hamilton if you are wanting to be on the water. Your stay will always start with snacks & an assortment of drinks in the fridge to snack on while you get settled in. We look forward to having you stay at The Apricottage!

The cottage was perfect for our weekend away. Close enough to downtown to be able to walk to restaurants and shopping. Gino and Cassie were very attentive hosts. Highly recommend!
This cozy home is within walking distance of Bathhouse Row.We hit the spas 3 days in a row. Great restaurants downtown. We enjoyed the hot tub after a long hiking day. Thank you to the hosts that had everything we needed. We would definitely stay again the next time we’re in Hot Springs.
The Apricottage was everything we were hoping for and more!! We had all we needed while there. Beautifully decorated, on a nice quite street, beautiful trees in the yard! Super comfortable and cozy! We travelled with friends and each had our own private bedroom area with full bathroom. Within walking distance to downtown for dining, shopping and entertainment! We really could not have asked for nicer accommodations!! Would definitely recommend and we hope to be back!!
This house is so cute! They thought of everything to make sure our stay was a great experience. The location is perfect and a quick walk/ride to downtown. Would definitely recommend!
The house was beautifully decorated and was so cozy. We did not cook, but they had everything you would need if you wanted to. It was within walking distance to the bathhouses, shops and restaurants. We would definitely book again in the future if we decide to visit Hot Springs again.
The home was beautiful and we really enjoyed our stay. It was close to downtown and the national park - perfect location. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals and the boys enjoyed the hot tub.
We have stayed in many VRBOs and this one has to be our favorite ever. It was comfortable and beautiful. Perfect for 2 couples. Very convenient location in an old neighborhood with wonderful, interesting homes.

This was the most beautiful home filled with personal touches everywhere from the coffee bar to the bath supplies. Cassie was so easy to communicate with and everything was smooth from checkin to check out. Highly recommend this house if you are visiting Hot Springs!

Thank you so very much for booking. Please come back as soon as you can.
Everything was great. Cose to everything we wanted to do and very comfortable. We brought all of our own snacks and breakfast food, but upon examining some of the snacks we found that they were terribly out of date. Willl consider using this property again if we go back to Hot Springs. Thanks for the hospitality
Apricot rage was wonderful! The property is beautiful & has an eclectic mix of cozy cottage with southern charm & old world class. The kitchen is extremely well stocked. The bathrooms had very nice towels & appointments. The beds were super comfy with great mattresses & coverings. The patio & fire pit out back were nice to sit around in the cool evening weather. We would definitely stay at Apricottage again!

Thank you so much for your sweet review. Hope you guys can come back to the Apricottage again soon!🫶🏻
This home is on the National Register of Historic Places, but has been completely updated and beautifully decorated on the inside. It has every amenity you might want, and more! The neighborhood is quiet and feels safe, and the location is convenient to the park, historic sites, and restaurants. The beds are the most comfortable we've had at any rental property, and there are two comfortable outdoor spaces where you can sit in the sun or the shade. My only complaint is that I should have booked it for more than three nights...we really enjoyed our time here!

Our family of 15 just spent an amazing week in Tuscany at Borgo Castelrotto. It had everything we needed from plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, an awesome kitchen, beautiful grounds and finally an amazing host, Violante, who helped us with questions, bookings and anything else we needed. It’s also a great location for to explore Tuscany with pretty much everything you’d want to see between 20-90 minutes away. Would absolutely stay here again.
