What a great place!!!

It had been years since we had a friends and family vacation. This place…this hidden gem…was the perfect spot. There were 11 of us, and no one had to sleep on a couch or in the floor. There was plenty of space inside for meals, as well we used every inch of the large back deck. The kids even had a cornhole tournament on the deck one evening. At Diane’s suggestion, we rented a boat from Lake Catherine Marina, and drove it right up to the house (dock) to pick everyone up. It was a perfect day. Since this home was so close to everything Hot Springs, we also took in The Escape Room downtown, Magic Springs, the casino, and a variety of eateries. Diane was very quick to respond to our messages, and seemed to truly care that we enjoyed our vacation. We will definitely be back, and send referrals.

Spring Break 2023

We had a great time. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Everything in Hot Springs was about 10 minutes away and easy to get to. Diana was responsive and answered all my questions. She was easy to get a hold of and was willing to make sure the house had what we needed. We have 5 kids and the house easily accommodated the 7 of us. We enjoyed using the fire pit and even a cold dip in the lake. Next time we want to come back when the lake water is warmer so we can enjoy the lake more. Definitely would stay here for a second time.

Perfect Stay that met our large family needs and more!

This property was perfect for our family of 12. There was plenty of room for every to sleep comfortably. The added extras like board games, Play Station, Paddle Boat, Corn Hole and Outdoor Connect 4 and Yahtzee kept everyone busy and having fun at the property. We had everything we needed to cook breakfast and grill. The location was ideal for short drive to both downtown and Magic Springs! The Property Owners were friendly and kept in contact to make sure we had everything we needed for the stay. I will definitely recommend this property to our family and friends!

Little Hideaway

My family and I enjoyed our stay. This house was a bit smaller than what we usually rent each year, but we enjoyed our stay! The house was clean and presentable. We had a small hiccup about the parking when we got there, but we got that corrected very quick. I would suggest maybe adding TVs to each room. Other than that, everything was great for our family! Thanks for allowing my family to stay in your home!! -Yulonda W

About the host

Hosted by Donald and Diana

We are from Iowa and I have been visiting Hot Springs as long as I can remember. My husband started coming down with my family since 1978. We married in 1982 and had 4 boys in 12 years. Our boys loved it every summer we would fill our conversion van with them and 3 or 4 of their cousins or friends to come with us. My poor mother, she welcomed us every trip and with only 2 bedrooms and a hida bed in the living room and one bathroom. God bless my mother. Our boys have so many memories of their grandparents and our trips here. They now bring their families to make memories with us. Its not the same without my parents here, we miss them greatly. Mom would tell me she loves to have us come, but it was good to see us go. I totally understand that now. LOL

Why they chose this property

we are from Iowa and have been visiting Hot Springs yearly all my life.
my parents had friends here and purchased this home in 1972. We purchased the home from my dad in 2014. We remodeled in 2015.
We added a second story and 3 more bedrooms and another bathroom upstairs. We have 4 grown boys with families now and they all come down for vacations with their kids. So much easier with more bedrooms and bathrooms. We hope others can enjoy our home and make memories while we cannot be here to enjoy it.

What makes this property unique

we chose this property, well because it feels like home and the view is great, the neighbors could not be any nicer. We drive 10 hours to enjoy our home away from home and it is worth every hour of the drive to get here. Close to most anything you would want to do in Hot Springs and only steps away from the lake.
