Beautiful Mountain retreat

This place was fabulous for a large group. Plenty of space. Lots of deck area to sit and enjoy the outdoors. Game room is incredible for children and adults. You also feel like you are far away from town, but there is a grocery store less than 2 miles away. So the best of both worlds! Within 30 minutes or less from all major Hot Springs attractions.

Christmas Vacation

We had our family vacation at this Mt Riante property and it was amazing! We had 17 people,and never felt crowded! The theatre room/game room was a huge hit with the teens/young adults, as well as the hot tub. Kristi was an excellent host and communicated promptly with any questions I had. We will definitely keep this property in our list of family destinations and hope to visit again soon!

Stuck on the hill with no water or power

I want to start off by saying the property and amenities for this listing are great and very well thought out. The surrounding views from the porch are great (though we had limited view due to bad weather) and the area is nice and quiet. Unfortunately, that is where the good portions of our stay came to an end. As mentioned before, there was bad weather during our stay (understadably out of anyone's control) and we experienced a power outage for around 18 hours (again understandably out of anyone's control). What is under the property owner's control is the response and action during this time, which was very disappointing. The house has a back up generator that kicks in when the power goes out. During our stay, the generator worked for a short period of time during two occasions. Without any power, the property cannot provide any critical amenities such as running water (the house is served by an electric well pump), heating/cooling, or cooking space or other kitchen necessities. The generator is set up to address these functions which is why we reached out to the owner. The owner sent out a team to investigate the cause of the back up generator failure. I was able to quickly identify that the propane tank that fueled the generator was empty when the team showed up the first time in the morning to investigate the issue. They dismissed this claim and were able to start up the generator and left. A few hours later, the generator went offline again. And after aiting some time

Best choice

Family of 17, elders, middle age, teens, and children. We had a wonderful time. The house was more than perfect. Very spacious clean with beautiful sunrise views. Actually larger than we expected. The host was equally exceptional in communication. Only 30 mins from Magic Springs. Will rebook for next year.

Family Weekend

It was the perfect place for our family weekend. We were able to enjoy all that Hot Springs had to offer. And, when we weren’t doing the tourist thing the home layout offered a little bit of everything: cooking together, playing family games, watching movies, and admiring the awesome sunrises from the decks. It was a great time had by all.
