Great place to stay! It had everything we needed. Very clean and comfy beds and the coffee bar was awesome! We were in town for the races and it was just a 10 Uber ride to get over there so incredibly convenient! Karen is a wonderful host and quick to respond. Hope to stay again next year!

This property was the most perfect sister-trip getaway location! The host was very communicative and helpful when getting into the house. The house was clean and offered all the amenities any home would have, including first aid needs and basic toiletries. I would absolutely recommend this property to anyone looking for a location in and around Hot Springs!

The cottage was absolutely perfect. It was charming, clean and comfortable. They have done an excellent job of updating the home, while keeping the history of the house intact. Comfy furniture blends with antique furniture. And we felt very safe staying here. Not to mention just minutes from good food and shopping!

Kitchen was fully equipped, including spices! Very clean! We were disappointed in how close the main highway was to the house. The online pictures looked like the house was further back. Due to traffic noise we weren't able to enjoy the outside. The spring was dry so we didn't get to enjoy it either. Overall, it's a nice place. We did enjoy Hot Springs and the weather was beautiful!

Wished we could have stayed longer

Very cozy and well kept older (1930s) property that had a nice mix of modern and antique. Although just off of a main highway, you could barely hear passing traffic unless it was a large vehicle. Close to downtown and major thoroughfares

Coziest Cottage!

Karen’s property was so cozy and comfortable! All of the decor is so homey and everything was so clean and thoughtfully provided! The kitchen has everything you could need and more - she’s even stocked it with a few snacks, coffee, syrups, etc. We enjoyed our long weekend here and will book again :)

Communication with Karen was great--she's very attentive. The house itself is a little bit on the older side, it's hard to tell from pics that the house is off a main road, so not as much a 'cabin feel' if you want a secluded/foresty place. The backyard is great for dogs.

Thank you for the review. In the description of the house, I describe it as a 1930's cottage with a cozy feel. We pride ourself in having a comfortable, 5 star rating, clean, polished cottage. It's described to be close to the bi-pass and city center with a babbling creek near the cottage and it sits on an acre lot with lots of surrounding trees for a country feel.

Sweet House

Although on very busy road, road noise not obvious at night. Comfortable bed. Fully equipped kitchen and it was really cold so nice to have tea bags to use. Really nice Entergy Park close by for hiking. Only suggestion is for owner to use non scented washing soap for sheets and towels especially for folks like us who are sensitive to scents used in cleaning products. Felt very safe here.

Quaint Cottage

The cottage was even more cute in person than in the pictures. Everything was very comfortable. The little stream beside the house was a bonus. The cottage was located close to everywhere we wanted to go. Karen was very helpful and responded quickly to questions we had. Really have no complaints. The only thing I will comment on is the house is on a busy road. It wasn't a problem inside the house. But if you want to enjoy the outside, there is traffic noise. We do recommend staying here and we would definitely do a return stay here.

The perfect location in Hot Springs

Staying at the cottage was absolutely what we needed. The location is everything. Its located no further than a few miles from the dowtown area. The cottage is a lovely place. Truthfuly it felt like coming to a family home, so cozy. Its also very thoughtfully prepared by the host. The details for the guest is noticeable across the home. The kitchen is well stocked to cook. Bathrooms and bedroom provided with a graceful amount of linens and cleanliness was evident. Yes, its in a main road but you really can't hear it while inside, and it didn't seem to bother us while on the covered porch. The spacious backyard brings a lovely sense of peace. Also the sound of the nearby creek adds to the outdoor experience. Overall, relaxing 😌 definetly the place to stay in the area.

Tammy Thank you so much for your kind words about our Cottage. We take a lot of pride and trying to make it a comfortable place. When we come to Hot Springs, we always stay in our cottages and we like to have a stock of things in the kitchen that we need and we know would probably be a nice touch for a guest. I appreciate your kind and thoughtful Review. Please come back and visit us again. Thank you Karen

A Most Wonderful Stay

We rented the cottage for the solar eclipse, over a year ago, and it was the perfect place to watch it. When we walked in, the first thing I noticed was that the cottage was so nice! The pictures really did not capture how nice it was. Upon entering, there was a cute mud room with a washer & dryer which leads into the kitchen. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything I needed to make a meal. The pans were nice and not falling apart like you see in some rentals, as were the other cooking materials and utensils. The living room was spacious and comfortable with a large TV and comfortable furniture, and it even had a storm door to let in more light and add to the country feel. And speaking of that country feel, even though the cottage is on a kind of busy road, it is well insulated and from the inside you cannot hear any noise from the road. The bedroom off the living room has a queen-sized comfortable bed, and in that room, there is enough room to comfortably fit the roll away bed. The bedroom down the hall was also nice with another comfortable queen-sized bed and it had a desk with a monitor & keyboard that you can hook your laptop up to. The bathroom was also nice and had all the extras in case you forgot to pack something. In conclusion, we enjoyed our stay and would definitely return again. Even though I didn’t have to contact Karen during our stay, she was very responsive throughout the whole booking process.

The hostess was so welcoming and helpful. Very responsive! The location is perfect-convenient to everything and we felt very safe. The cottage itself is adorable. They have done an amazing job of updating it enough to be comfortable but keeping the old time charm! The beds were super comfortable. The kitchen and bathroom amenities were everything you could need. Highly recommend and we can’t wait to stay again!
