An overall exceptional experience. The communication with the property owner was exceptional and when we made a last minute change of plans to bring our dog, Jana was flexible with the payment and even had dog treats waiting. We will use this property on every trip to Hot Springs if it’s available.

Cabin in the woods!

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at the cabin! It's in a gated community with a large playground and an enormous pool, but the cabin itself is beautifully hidden in the woods surrounded by wildlife! It is close to Lake catherine state park and Garvan Gardens which we love. My son is already talking about going back!

This was a great place for my family of four to stay for our spring break trip to Hot Springs. The house was very comfortable and clean. The screened-in porch was very serene. Also very well stocked with soap, toilet paper, coffee and snacks. We highly recommend staying here!
