Guests have their own lighted parking pad and walkway to the entrance. Your luxury bedroom includes a king size pillow top mattress with freshly laundered bedding, including blankets and bed spreads.

Linda & Gary were exceptional hosts. They greeted us curbside and provided everything we could imagine. The place was spotless with a beautiful view of the Cortez Golf Course. We look forward to staying here again.
Very comfortable with lots of kitchen extras that made it nice. Walking the neighborhood with our dogs worked well. Nice big tv for football games. Thank you.
We absolutely loved our stay! The owners are wonderful and truly took care of every little detail. We will definitely be back soon!

About the host
Hosted by Gary and Linda Ketteler
We were raised in Nebraska and Minnesota but met in SC and lived there for 10 years prior to moving to Arkansas. We are semi-retired and have a blended family with 7 children, three are married, & 4 grandchildren. We missed the fresh water fishing and the beautiful rolling hills of the mid-west. Our new home definitely "had to have golf!!" We chose this area for the many activities if offers, both indoors and out. We will always have great memories of SC, but we have brought a little of the Carolina coastline to our new home in Hot Springs Village. So, the apartment we created, has a coastal feel and an atmosphere where you can almost hear the sound of the ocean waves pounding against the shore line. It's not only your next home away from home but our seaside get away!!
Why they chose this property
Unlike 1 bedroom studios, our property has a separate bedroom for your privacy and a fully equipped kitchenette. A newly purchased BBQ grill, table and 4 chairs are positioned beneath a covered patio to enjoy day and night meals or just relaxation. (even during an afternoon rain shower) We have a lighted designated parking pad and a 4 foot wide side walk for easy access with your suitcases on wheels. There is also a double patio door entrance with NO steps!! 'la Casa Cortez is spacious and inviting. In the future we will be adding an additional private bedroom with a queen or 2 twin beds and it's own three piece bathroom. Now your friends and their pets can join you as well!! We also provide laundry service for a 3 day or longer stay. If you want to join us for a friendly game of pool, there is a beautiful 8' Olhausen pool table upstairs in our Arkansas Room. We also have a dart board to add to the fun! Care for a day on the lake? There are 3 great beaches.
What makes this property unique
Our desire is that 'la Casa Cortez meets all your expectations, needs and wants!! We hope we have thought of everything to make your stay a, "I'll be back" experience, but we know we can do better, and you can help!! We look forward to your comments We have more improvements planned for the future and hope you will return for a second visit to check them out. Our intentions are to have to have a deck area off 'la Casa Cortes's patio with a sunk-in hot tub! We are excited for the opportunity to make your stay and the guests who follow a memorable and pleasurable experience.
