Don’t wait on this property!!

Don’t hesitate! This property is a gem! Luxury linens, close proximity to town, spotless and clean, open common area, cookies as a gift, beautiful bathrooms, and more. The host has a gift for hospitality and attention to detail. What a relaxing treat, as we felt welcomed and at home for our annual stay in Hot Springs. It is rare to find a two bedroom rental, especially with two king bedroom en suites. Thank you for making our stay memorable!
