Very nice to be within walking distance of downtown (1 mile). Walk back is uphill but doable if you are in reasonable condition, or you could just order up an Uber. Property is an older home in an older established neighborhood that has a good feel. It’s a little quirky as many older homes can be, but everything you need is there. Bed was comfortable, kitchen complete, and living room spacious. It was pretty cool when we were there so we didn’t utilize the patio or covered porch, but those would be great in nice weather.
WONDERFUL!!! I can not say enough good things about this little cottage. My husband and I felt at home the minute we entered. This home is cozy and cute inside and out. The bed is very comfortable. The outdoor patio areas are peaceful and park-like. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. I felt quite secure walking my dog in the early mornings and late in the evenings. It was great being so close to the national park and the downtown area. So convenient. The listing is absolutely accurate. We would definitely stay here again! Rent without hesitation. You will be glad that you did!

Thank you so much! We really enjoyed hosting you! So glad you liked the location!
The house is gorgeous, the neighborhood is quiet, and the surrounding nature is so calming. Then right around the corner youre smack-dab is in the middle of downtown. I found the guest binder very helpful for sourcing some good food and local attractions. The hosts were veylry communicative and helpful when I had questions (this was my first VRBO). Also, being able to bring my dogs and enjoy everything with them was so special :)

We enjoyed our stay at Lauren and Mike’s cottage, it was such a unique house built into a mountain. Very comfortable and clean and well equipped. Communication was easy. And well located with easy access to downtown, hiking trails and lakes. I would highly recommend staying there.

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Listing accuracy
The home is located in a beautiful location (we hated to leave but needed to), AND, guests must know that the home is built into a hillside and there is bare rock in the basement. Their was a recent rain and the basement was DAMP and MUSTY. If anyone in your group has respiratory conditions (like asthma) or an immunocompromised state, they need to know that it can get damp and musty! There is one continuously-running dehumidifier on a tall stand. There is no mention in the listing that the lower level can get damp. There is also a dehumidifier in the lower level bedroom (which is subterranean) that was full when we arrived. Our immunocompromised family member (who had just recovered from a one-month bout of pneumonia) began coughing immediately upon arrival - even when upstairs. His cough worsened within 30 minutes so we left. We stayed at the local hotel and his cough disappeared.
This was a very clean and comfortable property with all needed accommodations. It was pet friendly with a fenced oudoor space for a small dog when needing to go outside. Tucked into a mountainside, we were able to see deer while enjoying the patio space. The owners were immediately responsive to all of my questions. A list of attractions and eating establishments was available in the home along with emergency numbers if needed. 10/10 would recommend, and hope to stay again in the future!

We look forward to having you back! Thank you for the kind review!
The house was nicely done and is surrounded by the Hot Springs National Forest . There is a trailhead less than a quarter mile from the house so we hiked with our dog in the morning and enjoyed the natural beauty in the area for the rest of the day. Loved the Garvan Botanical Garden and the Anthony Chapel

Why they chose this property
