Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our peaceful and beautiful location. It's great to know that you found all the necessary amenities and appreciated the cleanliness. We hope to welcome you back soon!
Gorgeous property! We particularly enjoyed the decks which provided a beautiful view and perfect for stargazing. Clean property with many amenities. Little issue with WiFi for the first 12 hours. But the property manager was extremely responsive and resolved the issue quickly which was greatly appreciated. Highly recommend this property! We will be back.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the decks and the stargazing views—they truly are a guest favorite. We appreciate your patience with the WiFi hiccup, and we’re glad our team was able to resolve it quickly. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon!
The experience of booking, checking in and out, and communication with the agency was excellent. The unit was spotless and perfectly stocked for a weekend getaway. The Wi-Fi worked great, and the kitchen is large with plenty of seating.The bedding was very comfortable, but the mattresses are not great. They feel like inflatable mattresses with a topper and we had trouble comfortably sharing a bed. The living room furniture is very small, so we used the upstairs as the main common space. We would happily rebook the house if the mattress situation improved!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay, especially the cleanliness, amenities, and smooth communication with our team. We truly appreciate your comments regarding the mattresses — your comfort is very important to us. We’ve shared this with our property team for review and will explore options to improve the sleeping experience. We’d be thrilled to host you again once updates are made!
Great location! The house was perfect for us and our kids. Spacious rooms and we loved the windows! Lots of deer around the property and too and from the lake. House has everything you need in the kitchen to cook meals. Just bring your own spices!
The side door handle needs repaired. It would pull out of the door.
We would highly recommend this house to others!

Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that the house was perfect for your family and that you enjoyed the spacious rooms and beautiful windows. It sounds like you had a great time observing the deer and making use of the well-equipped kitchen.
We appreciate your feedback about the side door handle and will make sure to address that promptly. Thanks for letting us know! We're delighted that you’d recommend the house to others, and we hope to welcome you back for another wonderful stay in the future.
This house was beautiful, private and in perfect condition. We had all the flatware, dishes, linens etc that we needed. We use the propane grill and enjoyed full sunrises and sunsets from the porch and the balconies. Only 2 minuses: the mattresses could only be described as pudding-like in texture and firmness. All of the mattresses had the same mushiness and lack of support though each room was well- decorated and the temperature/decor were perfect. The second minus was that we were never able to get consistent WiFi and never had more than “1 bar” of signal on our phones. We called for help twice but the WiFi sign in and password never did work. We loved our stay and Eureka Springs was fun, quaint and funky. We were a bit surprised by the narrow and winding roads to get to the house but the beauty, the deer, the birds, the trees and the amazing lake environs were wonderful. I highly recommend the property but WiFi needs to be boosted and the mattresses truly need replacement. Thanks!
