The cabin was nice and we enjoyed our stay, however, it would help if there was a washer and dryer in the cabin. Also if you could receive a text message telling you the address as well as how to get into the cabin would be much better than an e-mail due to the fact that we didn't have internet access. We ended up calling VRBO customer service to get the needed information.

The Black Squirrel was perfect. And the hosts were very responsive.Everything was super clean and cozy. We thoroughly enjoyed the deck with hot tub and fire pit. Hot Springs was very close by.I highly recommend booking this cabin. An extra touch was the chocolates left by the hosts. My husband liked that the best. You will love staying here.

Beautiful little cabin about 20.min from downtown Hot Springs. Lots of outdoor living space. We loved the loft for sleeping. Little indoor living space but we didn't need it. Thanks for a great stay!

Great little get away

The host is always available for any questions. We have been to this location multiple times. It is very clean, private, and most of all PEACEFUL. Recommend to any couple looking for time together away. Hot springs is just a short 15 min drive to down town area.

Anniversary Getaway

We loved our stay! The cabin was absolutely perfect and exactly what you see in the listing. VRBO wouldn’t let us choose the check-in date that was available so we messaged the owner and he fixed it right away, gave directions, instructions and a phone number incase we needed anything else. I highly recommend if you are looking to get away and relax in the Hot Springs area!
