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.

Lovely home, great fenced in back yard. The home was beautifully decorated and spacious, very comfortable. I would recommend they put in a gas grill as the small one they had did not fit our needs,

We had a great weekend. There was plenty of comfortable room for our family of five. It was easy to find, easy to check into, and conveniently located about 6 minutes from the convention center where we had an event. We would recommend this house to anyone.

FFA fun!

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!

Business travel with small kids.

This house is adorable! The layout is great at maximizing the use of the square footage. The back yard is great for letting the kids run off some energy. It’s in a very quiet neighborhood close to the hospital, and the neighbors were super friendly. Definitely recommend.
