The deck is equipped with patio furniture, table and charcoal grill.

On a deadend road, with no to zero traffic. The birds and the water makes a special get-a-way from everything. The view of the waterfront, the outdoor space and the living space make a great combination. Thank you for letting us stay here.

Fun in Hot Springs

We had a terrific mother/daughter get away. The house was immaculate and beautifully decorated. We enjoyed the gorgeous patio and the view of the lake. We had a wonderful time shopping and exploring the nearby antique stores and taking a horseback ride near Mt Ida.

Beyond our expectations, so relaxing.

From booking to checkout, everything was smooth. We were greeted with a personal note. The home was so clean and bright, outdoor spaces were inviting. We were sorry we couldnt share it with friends, but the time alone was priceless. We would love to book it again. Our only regret was that we didnt pack our fishing poles maybe next time. We've already recommended this to family members, but it is a long drive, for us almost 12 hrs. Beautiful hills & good roads, plenty more to see in the area, because we enjoyed just being at the property. Local information provided led us to some fantastic restaurants where we were able to celebrate our 46th Wedding Anniversary.! overlooking the deck & river.
