Great spring break getaway

We had a great stay! Plenty of room, nice updated touches, great layout, and quick response times from the overnight digs host. We had some rainy days during our trip and found this location was great place to be, be it to snuggle on the couch or play a board game without us or the kids being bored. Highly recommend!

I wanted to give accurate description of place a 3 because the description didn’t quite capture just how cute, homey and quaint this house was. It was perfect for my family and I. The Sunsets on the lake were amazing. The beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed for our long weekend in Hot Springs. Location was great. The host of the property was very informative and helpful with check in and out. This place is definitely a must stay.

There were six of us. The house was roomy, clean and just beautiful. It’s the little touches. More than enough supplies. We built a fire on back porch (with the provided wood). The view of the lake was soo relaxing. I hope we’re able to stay at this house again. It was perfect for us.

A lake cottage where you can get beautiful water views from *every single room* is the ultimate dream! 🌊🏡✨ It sounds like your family made the absolute most of the space, and we love hearing that the sunroom became your official headquarters for family game nights. There is truly nothing better than playing games together while surrounded by the beauty of the lake! ☀️🎲 Thank you so much for being such wonderful guests and for sharing your experience. We would be absolutely thrilled to welcome your family back to the cottage the next time you need to unplug, spread out, and enjoy the water views. Safe travels until then! 👋🌲🛶
