An overall exceptional experience. The communication with the property owner was exceptional and when we made a last minute change of plans to bring our dog, Jana was flexible with the payment and even had dog treats waiting. We will use this property on every trip to Hot Springs if it’s available.

Ease of booking and communication was excellent. Host was so very kind and easy to get ahold of, even called to check on us shortly after we arrived. Very quiet neighborhood, close enough to town but you are far enough away from the hussle and bussle (noise). Loved hiking at Lake Catherine, which is just down the road.Pet friendly and has all the comforte of home! We will be back indeed

Jana is a wonderful host. The house is immaculately clean and she has supplies for anything you may have forgotten. The porch is an enjoyable place to sit and listen to the birds. We love the Diamond Head area, especially Lake Catherine.

Cabin in the woods!
My family and I really enjoyed our stay at the cabin! It's in a gated community with a large playground and an enormous pool, but the cabin itself is beautifully hidden in the woods surrounded by wildlife! It is close to Lake catherine state park and Garvan Gardens which we love. My son is already talking about going back!

Quiet Getaway
Location is wonderful. The woods around you make for great mornings on the screened in patio, watching the birds at the feeder. Lake Catherine Park is about 15 minutes away. Lots of nature to be enjoyed. Beds were nice and soft. The toppers were a great addition. About 25 minutes to downtown Hot Springs. This wasn’t an issue at all. The drive between town and the cabin is a nice one. Be mindful of the deer as you enjoy the curves. Great communication from booking to checkout. My kids have already ask to stay here again when we get back to Hot Springs. Thanks for the great place.

This was a great place for my family of four to stay for our spring break trip to Hot Springs. The house was very comfortable and clean. The screened-in porch was very serene. Also very well stocked with soap, toilet paper, coffee and snacks. We highly recommend staying here!

Bamboo House
Very roomy, comfortable furniture and well stocked kitchen. Loved that there was two beds in one of the bedrooms. We had our daughter and two grandchildren with us, more than enough room. Enjoyed the Garvan Gardens Christmas lights. Our grandchildren loved the bamboo down by the driveway…,
