Updated Deck & Dock: Lakefront Home in Hot Springs

Great place, great communication!

We rented this house so we could have immediate family nearby for the Memorial Day weekend. When we first pulled in the driveway there was a couch cushion laying in the yard and then another one near the house. When we opened the front door we were punched in the face by a musty/moldy smell. We lit several candles immediately hoping to disguise the odor before our guests arrived. Then I started sweeping because there were dead bugs and dirt on the floors. My wife started opening curtains and patio doors to help with the smell. Whoever left the leaf blower on the back deck, thank you. We needed it. It was apparent that no one had been at this house in awhile or cleaned it recently. My wife blew off the patio furniture and deck because they were covered in leaves/debris. Now that the curtains were open and additional light illuminated the interior we were surprised by a new problem. The chair by the patio door needs professionally cleaned or placed in the yard with the couch cushions. It is nasty. The couch isn’t far behind but was tolerable. The throw pillows on the couch are a ridiculous excuse for pillows, they’re as flat as the Sunday paper. I could go on and on about the furnishings but everything in this house is a sorry excuse for it to be in a VRBO. I kept telling my wife “We’re not buying it, we’re only renting it”. I kicked it around for 2 weeks on whether I should even post a review. I finally decided to do it, so others aren’t as disappointed as us.

Clean, secluded from the traffic, which was great if tou have little ones like we did. Very spacious, the view was calming and beautiful! Location was perfect, only 12 minutes from downtown!!

The house was a great location and we loved that it was on the lake with a dock. The driveway was a little tricky with our boat at dark but we found a boat ramp nearby the next morning. The house was fully stocked and had almost everything we needed. We enjoyed the grill, WiFi, stocked supplies and lots of room. The location is close to Walmart and that’s really all we needed. We spent most of our stay on the lake. Thanks again for a great stay!

We were in town for a dance competition. Loved the outdoor space and getting to relax right on the river in the evenings! The kitchen was well equipped and the home itself worked perfectly for us. Loved that it had a long driveway and was so quiet and peaceful. We even brought our own kayaks and spent one afternoon/evening exploring the lake.

We take a trip to Hot Springs about 3 times a year with my girlfriends. We choose this location because of the access to the lake. It was fabulous. The long driveway to your home away from home. Everything was as they stated in the listing. You will not be disappointed staying here. All the TVs worked easily and sometimes that's a struggle in itself. Plenty of all the extras you would need for a stay. This is going into our list of we would stay there again. Thank you for sharing your place with us!

Property is in need of attention, thankfull someone left a leaf blower because the decks were covered in thick leaves. The windows had plenty of dead bugs but lacked screens to really enjoy the beautiful weather. The 2 bbq pits did not quite add up to one usable one. The nice looking weber grill in the add is not there, instead there is a 20 dollar walmart special that I luckily found the grill for in the other rusted out grill. There was a fairly well stocked kitchen which was nice but we had to call for trash bags and dishwasher soap and a kitchen towels. Given a little extra attention the place could be great.

We had a nice time. Did a lot of cooking and kitchen was stocked. Fun time!

This property was such a great place for our family to gather together from California, Denver, and Tacoma with us to visit their grandparents in Hot Springs. So quiet, so much room, so well stocked. The lovely kitchen was stocked with cooking oils, spices, and utensils better than any other short term rental we've ever stayed in. Mornings down on the Lake Front chairs was blissful. Thank you for sharing your property with us.

Had a great experience.
