Wonderful trip

Came to Hot Springs to meet my daughter and son-in-law of the Appalachian Trail. Couldn’t have picked a better place to stay. Close to town with all the amenities! Beautiful peaceful place. But the townspeople were so friendly and a wonderful time was had by all of us!

Son’s wedding weekend!

Amazing house! We will come back to Hot Springs just to stay here! Perfect location, very peaceful sitting by the fire pit drinking coffee watching the wildlife. I have never stayed in a “Home” that was so well equipped. The hosts were extremely responsive, as I had several questions. One of our best stays ever!

Quiet & Peaceful Retreat

Close to Hot Springs, yet quiet with beautiful rural views. Enjoyed the fire pit & hot tub. Lots of comfy places to sleep and bathe, and plenty of room for all of us. Plenty of parking too. Wildlife were also incredible. The birder in me was thrilled to hear a Whip Poor Will for the first time in decades!!

Close to town and quiet

House was clean and comfortable. Everything was as promised. My only warning on the house is that the drive is a little steep but nothing to bad. I would definitely stay again. Also the empty field made a great view of to the mountains.

Nice stay in Hot Springs

The house was well stocked and comfortable for our family of six, and probably could have accommodated a couple more folks. It was less than a mile from the little town of Hot Springs which had a few good eateries, a brewery with live music(some nights), and a small market. Essentially, all activities are outdoors, including hiking and swimming. We had a wonderful day renting a pontoon boat for tubing on Lake Douglas(TN) about an hour away.

Great Time! Winter getaway.

Pros Very clean, well equipped, loved the furniture and decor. Especially the couch., And the lighting, location is great. Views are awesome. Cons Takes an unacceptable amount of time for hot water to reach fixtures, toilets are small, Seems hot and cold water lines were reversed on a couple fixtures.

Helllo Scott, we are happy that you enjoyed your stay at Surprise Valley and the area that it is located. For now, the toilets and time for hot water to reach are not something we can change, but we can see if there are hot and cold water lines that are reversed! We do hope you will stay with us again the next time you are in Hot Springs. Warmly, Marion and Mary Helen, Rental Host

Quiet and Relaxing

Wonderful place! We had the family there for my wife's birthday weekend. The house decor is soothing, the view of the pond and mountains are fabulous, and the house is extremely conveniently located! We enjoyed the hot tub multiple times and were even visited daily by the neighborhood rooster! The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare her birthday dinner. We had a little trouble connecting to the Wi-Fi (coudn't totally go off the grid), but the hosts were gracious and patient in helping us sort it out. Highly recommend!
