We had a very relaxing winter getaway. The home was comfortable with everything we needed. The Garage-mahal was a nice area for evening activities. Comfortable furniture and bedding.

We are so glad you and your family enjoyed your time at The Chalet. We look forward to hosting you again soon.
Everything was so clean and cozy! Loved we could walk outside and kayak a few feet away. Remote location but close drive to everything. Host was very responsive! Thank you for a great family vacation! Would definitely recommend.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Chalet. Very roomy and loved having the kayaks available. We were in town working in Malvern and decided to get out of the hotel and found this place. Laura was a great host. Enjoyed several outdoor fires in the fire pits.
We really enjoyed our time in Hot Springs, especially the amenities and property at the Chalet on Cape Catherine. The house is located near enough to all the fun Hot Springs area activities but, tucked back on a peaceful peninsula. We can’t say enough wonderful things about the property. The garage entertainment room was such a smart idea and a big hit with our family. Just a note about the rooms and property surrounding the house was incredible.

The home is very nice. The game room is large and was perfect for watching games. The home is very well kept and frankly the beds were more comfortable than most anywhere I have stayed. It was perfect for a trip to Oaklawn. You might look at a map and think it is off the path from Oaklawn, or Hot Springs but the ride was very short. The owners were great to rent form.
It was a wonderful quiet getaway! It was nice being away from everything. The water surrounding the house was stunning esp with the ducks! We absolutely loved the big game room area! I would say it needs some darts that work, They were all broken except one. We loved all the bedrooms and bathrooms! Although the middle bedroom tv and the living room tv we couldn’t get the Roku to work. Thankyou for having such a nice place to stay. The summer would prob be more fun so we can use the kayaks. We will be back for sure!
