Ramble Drive

The house was nicely done and is surrounded by the Hot Springs National Forest . There is a trailhead less than a quarter mile from the house so we hiked with our dog in the morning and enjoyed the natural beauty in the area for the rest of the day. Loved the Garvan Botanical Garden and the Anthony Chapel

Hot Springs weekend

Owner was super responsive. Interior was nice and clean. Comfortable beds. Nice amenities. Overall a 5 star inside. Exterior could use some cleanup-lots of weeds and high grass. Patio and porch were not used but could have used a sweep with a leaf blower.

Wonderful stay at this property despite the weather. House has everything you need. Even had a latern light to use in case the power went out. We stayed cozy indoors listening to the rain fall and even saw deer in the front yard. This is our second time staying here and we will definitely be back.

STAY HERE!

What a quiet and lovely place! Even though it’s close and convenient to town, the location up on the mountain makes it peaceful. The bed in the bedroom is comfy, the bathroom is unique & beautiful, and the kitchen is well-equipped (you might even find a mug for your fave NFL team!). The outdoor seating area is covered, and the trees were filled with birds. Bonus? The basement area is so fun to explore! Communication with Lauren & Mike was fantastic - they send you so many recommendations in advance of your stay. If you’re staying in Hot Springs, stay here!!!

This house is charming and clean with lots of amenities. It’s located on beautiful wooded land within a neighborhood. We even saw a deer in the yard one evening. It is less than 5 minutes from all of the wonderful in-town activities including the thermal bathhouses and trails

Short stay in Hot Springs

We stayed here for a long weekend just this past week. We were really looking forward to the stay as prior reviews rated the home so high but unfortunately cannot give a high rating ourselves. First the pros- the home is very close to the main strip - not within walking distance as advertised but a short drive. Also, the back had great morning wildlife to enjoy. Now the concerns. The home had musty smell and wasn’t in a very great part of town. The dishwasher did not work and tub bottom appeared dirty so we didn’t try to use that. The property in general was very outdated despite new decor. The back railing was unsafe and not to code. The most concerning was the numerous tripping hazards throughout the property. Several rooms had small step ups or room transitions which would be unsafe for little kids or anyone over 50. My son tripped several times. The stairs to the basement were a metal spiral and I was shocked when I opened the basement door to go downstairs. They were definitely unsafe for any little kid and would be unsafe for someone older. The other thing we noticed was there were minimal towels and toilet paper. Only one spare roll of toilet paper for the bathroom seems stingy to me and only 4 towels in the whole house when the home sleeps 6. Lastly the beds were not comfortable. Neither bed had a box spring so there was absolutely no support. The bed hurt both my husbands and I’s backs. Place is fine for young adults but not older people or young kids.

Quiet location and a very nice property. Large and spacious with unique features.

Cozy house, great location

This house perfectly met our needs during our short visit to Hot Springs NP. Clean, comfortable, beautifully furnished, and located in a lovely quiet neighborhood a couple minutes from downtown (NB: there is free parking available at the Exchange Street Parking Plaza next to Grateful Head Pizza; otherwise street parking is only free for 2 hours). The bath/shower in the main bedroom were really great! Loved having a laundry to freshen up our clothing, since we had already been on the road for a week when we arrived. Thanks for a wonderful couple of days!

Awesome Stay!

My husband and I came to Hot Springs for a few nights to relax. This house was so cool! It’s built into the side of a mountain. Decor is on point, and every corner of the house is utilized for guest comfort. So much is provided, you really just need a few groceries. There are two separate outdoor spaces where you can watch fireflies at twilight. We only used the master bedroom, but the bed was super comfy. The AC works fantastically, which is important for summer in the south. The amount of house and the neighborhood you get for the money is such a deal. Can’t wait to come back with the kids!
