Gravel bike race at Hot Springs

We stayed here for my sons, gravel, bike race, which was held at the Hot Springs resort, and we’re so grateful to find a place that was walking distance to the resort. There was a front porch that you could see the riders go down the street and close in town to everything.

Awesome home in center of town

We had 6 adults an 2 children and still had plenty of room. House is directly next to main road in town and sometimes it's noisy if you're on the porch but on the inside its very quiet, you don't hear any outside noise.Home was very clean and well stocked with nearly anything you need during your stay. Washer and dryer, dishwasher, all dishes and cooking utensils, towels, wash rags even shampoo and body wash.Just bring yourself and food as that's all you'll need. Good location, close to everything in town. Would definitely stay again.Melanie is your contact and is very nice, helpfull and available if you need her.Thanks again Melanie for everthing.

Great spot for enjoying downtown Hot Springs!

We were able to walk to restaurants, shopping and Hot Springs Spa from the house. Nice views of the fall colors and a great front porch for relaxing. The dining room table was perfect for an evening of games.

Most convenient stay in Hot Springs

Went for 80's weekend & the house is walkable to everything! Love the vintage craftsman style. Despite being close to the main street it is quiet & the off street parking is a plus. Kitchen is stocked well & dining room is a great gathering place for food or board/card games. Would definitely rent again!
