    The house was in an excellent location. Like many others on the lake, it’s an older home probably in the 50s. It’s been renovated. Nice kitchen, with the exception that the light over the sink did not work at all. This made it very difficult to prepare food. The AC system was very strange. We had very cool weather when we were there. For some reason, the thermostat would turn itself down at night. Made it very uncomfortable as would wake up very cold. The thermostat seems to be Internet control. The king bed was not the most comfortable we’ve ever slept on. The sheets appeared to be very old actually they were holes in them. They would not stay on the mattress as the sheets were too small. This was problematic as we were constantly trying to get the sheet down as far as we could to make it stay. The toilet in the hall bathroom definitely needs a new filler valve. After flushing, it would pulsate when it filled making it very noisy whenever it filled. My wife and I decided that we would definitely not stay here again. The laundry area was in an alcove off of the kitchen. Both the dryer and washer were very noisy. Making it hard to hear the television.On the plus side, the home was very clean when we arrived.

    I would not mind coming back and booking this house again and again. I loved the kitchen and the feel of the home was perfect for a family get away. The marina was not far my husband drove from the marina to the dock in the backyard and we were out on the lake! The neighborhood is quit and peaceful but close to so many restaurants and stores if needed.

    Ever wish you knew someone with a small house near downtown Hot Springs but also on the water? This is the place. Comfortable accommodations in a neighborhood setting with TV’s in every bedroom, a nice family room, a deck, a boat dock, and an updated kitchen. This is all you need to enjoy your stay!

    This was a neat little house in a lovely neighborhood. We were in town for a wedding and with the races causing the hotels to charge outrageous nightly amounts, this was the perfect place for my wife and I and my father. We'd stay here again in a heart beat.

    The house was listed accurately and was great for our girl’s trip. The lake view was beautiful and we were less than 5 miles from downtown Hot Springs. The beds were all comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and there were a ton of bath towels. When we had trouble getting in with the code initially, the owner answered immediately and fixed our issue. Would definitely recommend!
