My wife and I had an amazing anniversary stay at this charming, spotless cottage in Hot Springs! The location was perfect—peaceful yet just a short walk to town and close to the Appalachian Trail. The hot tub was a highlight, with a great setup that made it even more enjoyable.Evenings spent rocking on the porch chairs, watching fireflies, were magical. Since our last visit in 2017, the town has added more amenities, and this rental made it easy to access them all.My favorite experience was a perfect day that started with tubing on the French Broad River, followed by a relaxing soak in the mineral waters at the Hot Springs Resort and Spa. We finished our day with a run through the rain to enjoy pizza and drinks at Vinyl Pies, then took a short, scenic, and less-wet walk back home!A huge thanks to Melanie, the property owner, who went above and beyond to make our stay possible. She was kind, responsive, and clearly takes pride in offering a clean, well-furnished home. Her warmth and attention to detail made our trip truly special. Highly recommend!
