Romantic birthday getaway

This place was absolutely breathtaking! We loved the views from the deck and hot tub area! The little cave (screened in porch area) was absolutely peaceful and serene! Visited Eureka Springs, AR and shopped their historical downtown area by trolley. Also went to Eureka Springs drive-thru safari! The deck was our spot for dinners after cooking on the grill! We visited The Steak Inn for dinner one evening and their food was amazing! We look forward to coming back again and again!!!

Don't use the spare linens

The cottage itself was lovely, secluded and very relaxing. During our stay, we decided that we needed to use some dishes and the extra comforter/sheet that was provided in the dresser. Once we departed the cottage we received an additional cleaning fee for leaving (cleaned) dishes drying on the counter and for using the extra comforter. I am sure you will enjoy staying here just be sure to leave the cottage spotless and don't use any of the additional linens.

Anniversary Trip

We loved how it felt secluded by the water. The view by the water was wonderful. We enjoyed that you could sit in the hot tub and watch the boats go by. We found a great restaurant down by the water called the Seaside they had the best bacon wrapped shrimp. It was also very nice that you had a cabinet that had spices that could be used.

Vacation getaway

Overall,, everything we could have wanted. If I had one complaint, ot would be that the trees were trimmed for a better view from the hot tub and enclosed porch area. Overall though, I would definitely book with them again.

Watch out for the refund policy

We love this place but we will not return after 4 years of going there. Big storm overnight knocked out the power and by extension the water service. Not to mention the hail that tore up my car....not the owners problem. However, the host was not sympathetic and told me that they do not give refunds because too many people cancel their reservation at the last minute. We did not cancel but the house did cancel on us. Still a refund was not an option. All I asked for was a refund for the day we could not stay. 6:30 am and know where to use the bathroom. but we are responsible. The owners words of wisdom were...I doubt you would have stayed there all day. None of her business or concern. Again we love the place...but watch out if you need a "legitimate" refund. We will not be back.
