Great peaceful stay, and enjoyed seeing the train come by once each day. Comfy bed, plenty of linens, nice shower. We had a little trouble getting the gas fireplace to work but that may have been something on our end. Otherwise, fantastic!

The Limestone Cabin was fantastic. Such a relaxing place to stay after adventuring in Hot Springs and the surrounding area. The road to get to the cabin is a windy one way gravel road, so make sure you're coming in a car that is up for it. We checked in a little late and the lights were on to easily make our way in. We found the space comfortable and inviting. Excited to visit again!

The cute and very clean cabin is both comfortable and homey. The scenery is breathtaking and we were greeted by two turkeys and a deer. We enjoyed walking the railroad tracks next to the property and tubing down the huge river, within walking distance of the cabin. It was very quiet and peaceful place to unwind and enjoy nature.

Joshua, thank you for staying at the Limestone Cabin and the grocery recommendation. While Hot Springs has some small convenience stores and the DG, we definitely recommend bringing plenty of food for your stay. Who wants to take time out of their vacation to drive to a bigger grocery store?! I hope you will consider returning again sometime.

Limestone was a beautiful property and super cozy. The view was perfect, and very private. We never saw a train, I was actually really hoping we would. Everyone in town was so nice and welcoming. Highly suggest renting this property, if you need a nice relaxing trip away from all the crazy busy days in life.

Amanda, I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed the Limestone Cabin and found the town and people of Hot Springs to be welcoming. I live closer to town near the train tracks and our neighborhood celebrates when we hear a train come through. You have to plan a return trip and hope you get lucky to witness the train along the river. Thank you for staying with us.

This cabin was everything and more!! Not a train in sight the whole time and the owner bends over backwards to make sure your stay is worry free! If you’re a cabin lover, this beautiful gem is a place you’ll never want to leave, and the area… where do I start…Hot Springs steals your heart in unexpected ways and makes you want to become a local!! We’re already planning our next trip!!

Everything about our stay was fantastic! From check-in to any questions we had about the house and getting out of there when we got snowed in, I don't think I've stayed in a place better than this. I look forward to staying here again in the future. All amenities were as described and the location is perfect. I could gush further, but just take my word for it that you will not be disappointed. Thank you so much for everything!

beautiful cabin, beautiful scenery, very accommodating hosts. only problem is there is a one lane road to get to the cabin and construction at the bottom . we had to back half way down the mountain due to a large construction truck coming in as we were leaving. there is no way to turn around or pull off the road, so backing down the mountain is the only alternative, We will visit again but with the traffic situation in mind.

Beautiful Stay

We stayed for 3 nights and never left the property. The view from the porch was perfect for morning coffee viewing the sunrise. The hot tub was clean and we used it several times a day. We did run in to a bear on a walk but thankfully it ran off in to the woods. The bed was comfortable. We did bring a curtain to put in the doorway upstairs so it didn’t feel so open. All floor level windows except the window over the kitchen sink had curtains (we used a bed sheet to cover that window at night). We got to see the train a couple of times during our stay which was exciting. It was super quiet and a perfect place to hibernate for several days. The road that runs next to the tracks is narrow but we didn’t run in to any other cars so it didn’t bother us. We look forward to coming back in colder weather to enjoy the firepit.
