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 :)

This home is perfectly secluded but also extremely close to Bathhouse Row which made enjoying all that Hot Springs has to offer super easy. The house is older and has a few quirks, like some light switches don’t work and some things need updating (range hood, spa tub & shower head), but the owners have done an amazing job making it a comfortable and enjoyable home to be in. There are plenty of lamps, the bed was so comfortable and the private porch off the master bedroom was superb (like being in the park!). Please note that it’s a “climb” to get into the house and NOT handicap accessible. A steep walking incline with luggage is a workout and it can be slippery when wet. There’s parking for only 1 vehicle. Despite all these, we would definitely stay again).

We enjoyed being close to downtown and able to hike right behind the house. Definitely the most unique home we have stayed in!
6 / 10Average·Oct 2024
We stayed here for a long weekend just this past week. We were really looking forward to the stay as prior reviews rated the home so high but unfortunately cannot give a high rating ourselves. First the pros- the home is very close to the main strip - not within walking distance as advertised but a short drive. Also, the back had great morning wildlife to enjoy. Now the concerns. The home had musty smell and wasn’t in a very great part of town. The dishwasher did not work and tub bottom appeared dirty so we didn’t try to use that. The property in general was very outdated despite new decor. The back railing was unsafe and not to code. The most concerning was the numerous tripping hazards throughout the property. Several rooms had small step ups or room transitions which would be unsafe for little kids or anyone over 50. My son tripped several times. The stairs to the basement were a metal spiral and I was shocked when I opened the basement door to go downstairs. They were definitely unsafe for any little kid and would be unsafe for someone older. The other thing we noticed was there were minimal towels and toilet paper. Only one spare roll of toilet paper for the bathroom seems stingy to me and only 4 towels in the whole house when the home sleeps 6. Lastly the beds were not comfortable. Neither bed had a box spring so there was absolutely no support. The bed hurt both my husbands and I’s backs. Place is fine for young adults but not older people or young kids.
