The Bored Doe • 1 mi to DeGray Lake

This rental is beautifully appointed. The hostess is great. Plenty of parking. However, the photos gave an inaccurate impression of the size of the common space. The living room was so small only 3 people can sit at one time. There was so much stuff in the kitchen cabinets there was nowhere to put non-perishable food. Some of that could be pared back to make room for the guests' belongings. The dishwasher is unnecessary. That would open up storage space. No available space in the bathroom for our toiletries. The bedrooms are very small. Nowhere to put your bags or clothes. And so many pillows on the beds, with no where to put them when we went to bed. Our group was 5 adults between 55 and 74 years of age. The upstairs sleeping spaces were not suitable for older adults. If you had small children, the upstairs space would be ok. The foam mattresses on the floor in the loft room are thin and not comfortable for adults. We had to double them to make it comfortable. It rained over our weekend stay so were confined inside a lot. Nowhere to sit together, play games or eat a meal. The refrigerator doors need to be reversed so they open into the kitchen (easy fix!) The house instruction book needs to be updated with more thorough descriptions of expectations and what is available nearby.

everything was perfect to the rental to the host

Great overall experience!

Quiet, out of the way place! My family really enjoyed it!

Hot tub was amazing , rooms where all cozy also. The only problem we had was the wifi didn't allow you to play online games on console. Other than that the place was great great location really quite lots of wildlife and great communication by the owner.

Very well maintained and thoughtful space! We very much enjoyed our time here.

Great little gem off the beaten path! Very thoughtful design and furnishings make this property a great home. Super clean and well stocked. Great for adults and older kids (I wouldn’t recommend for younger children or for anyone with mobility issues as the loft area is very steep). Loved all the little extras like smores bar and bathroom amenities - highly recommend!!

Cabin was perfect! Would definitely book again!

This home had so much space, and all the amenities we could have asked for! Highly recommend!!!!

Very nice, had a great time.

We really enjoyed our stay would definitely stay again.

We enjoyed the stay..

We had a great time at the Bored Doe and loved all the amenities it came with. The hot tub and hammock were some of our favorite things to enjoy. WiFi worked great, and the AC kept us cool! A few things to note, the grill outside could use some replacement grates, the bed was a little hard for what we like (this could just be our preference), we didn’t have any trouble with the neighbors, but we were aware of our surroundings and wish the privacy screen on the deck surrounded the porch. Over all a great stay! Mandi was an awesome host and answered all my questions within a few hours!

Absolutely perfect stay! Loved the loft with videogames and the hot tub and hammock and the gas fireplace and the kitchen full of every gadget needed (except maybe a meat thermometer lol)! Definitely want to bring the kiddos and go back again!

We had a great time and loved the hot tub!

Great property with several thoughtful extras. We really appreciated that the owner is dog friendly and doesn't add a pet fee. That is very unique in our experience. Everything needed for preparing and serving meals can be found in the property. Hot tub was awesome as was the fire pit. Short drive to Hot Springs downtown area. May be time for a new grill and I think is should be larger. I was grilling for two , anymore and it would've been difficult to complete with everything hot. Great stay! We would definelty re-book.

Such a great property! Cute little touches that make the experience even better.
