Spacious and well maintained home with a huge backyard that our dogs loved. The house was well stocked with basics and had tons of games and outdoor activities. Excellent location away from the hustle and bustle but only about 10 minutes away from many popular spots. Hot tub was also well maintained and nice and warm. A great spot to relax after a long day.

Such a relaxing, beautiful home in a quiet but convenient location. The backyard was a perfect space for our dog. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub after a busy day of sightseeing. The kids really enjoyed the selection of books & board games. We hope to stay here again if we return to Hot Springs.

My husband absolutely loved staying here! The house was comfortable and cozy and the outdoor space was fantastic. He and his cousins were delighted with the game selection! The house was perfectly located with the ease to get to town but also on the outskirts enough that it was quiet and private. Looking forward to making a return trip and hopefully staying here again. Thank you for offering such a great home away from home.

Beautiful home in a beautiful quiet setting. The home was very comfortable with everything you could need for your stay; kitchen, laundry, bath etc. Extremely well organized and very very clean. It was very easy to find and only 10 to 15 minutes from everything in Hot Springs! Chris the property manager was so accommodating and friendly! We could not have asked for a better home base for our week long stay. The home is very affordable too. We didnt bring our dogs this time but this home is very dog friendly with a park sized fenced-in yard. One of the best VRBOs we've stayed at. Homes like this are exactly why we only travel using VRBO. Thank you to Chris and Elizabeth for having this home as an option in Hot Springs.

About the host

Hosted by Chris Hough

Host profile image
Leia is a city dog who loves the rural beauty of Hot Springs. She enjoys the large yard, with various park-like nooks, and the easy access to nature that her Hillside Haven provides. Her favorites are Garvan Woodland Gardens, the Hot Springs Greenway walking and biking trails, and the Promenade in downtown Hot Springs. Sometimes she stays at home while her human companions enjoy the famous Hot Springs National Park thermal mineral water at Buckstaff Bathhouse downtown, visit Oaklawn racetrack, or enjoy the other local amenities.

Why they chose this property

Leia's Hillside Haven offers rural beauty. Sitting on over 1 acre, the home is private and hosts regular visitors from the frog, rabbit and bird families (with deer visitors at times outside the fenced yard). The yard is serene and offers multiple venues for relaxing – in the hot tub, on the deck, under the covered patio awning, or in any one of the yard's featured areas of rest and respite.

What makes this property unique

Despite its rural relaxing venue, Leia’s Hillside Haven is close to US-270 and a mere 10 minutes from Oaklawn racetrack and downtown Hot Springs, with many other amenities in close range.
