This was the best place! Felt perfectly at home and loved having a backyard for the dog to play fetch. The beds were very comfortable and the host was extremely responsive. Very conveniently located to everything and especially appreciated the very quiet neighborhood. We will stay here again when visiting Hot Springs.

Everything was really great. Quiet neighborhood, convenient location, super clean, comfortable beds and furnahings, and most importantly the a/c was adequate for helping keep the whole house comfortable while we were there during an extreme heat spell (temps were pushing triple digits every day during our stay). We will definitely stay here again, whenever we return to Hot Springs.

Front door would not respond to code provided. One text message and the lock clicked and the code worked. Obviously someone had forgotten to activate the code prior to our checkin shortly after the communicated check-in time. It was a minor hitch, all the rest of the stay went well.

Our son was scheduled to win several awards, so we were there for Arkansas FFA convention. Everything was as pictured and better! Lots of elbow room; beds for everyone while our son stayed at Camp Couchdale. We enjoyed our stay and will come back next year!
