A nice new little house far enough away to be peaceful, but close enough to Hot Springs to easily enjoy the attractions. Having cell service and covenience stores 5 minutes away is a plus. The little creek is the star of the show by far. Its not very large, but very cool and has enough flow to make it pleasing to the ears. It was perfect for my kids to play in, finding crawfish, snails, toads/frogs and small fish. There are many rocks in the creek bed and we all came home with "cool rocks" the owners of the property were actually on site staying at an adjacent cabin. They and their kids seemed like nice people and were friendly without coming off as snoopy or invasive. The house was nice and very well stocked. Like somewhere where the owners visit themselves. I have zero complaints, but the stairs up to the house face the creek(probably where you would approach it most often from) instead of the driveway. I would gladly stay there again.

Very clean cabin with all modern amenities. Central location in Hot Springs if you are interested in multiple tourists attractions like us. Close to golf at the village, Oaklawn Race track and Garvan Gardens. Everything was within a 15-20 min drive in either direction. Quite area for a relaxing night in the Hot tub. You can wake up with the sounds of the water running down the creek while you sip your coffee and a yard full of birds chirping. That was my favorite part! Bedding and towels were top notch and the weighted Duvet was a plus. Cute place for sure!

Amazing place. Looked even better than the pictures. This was our first time using Vrbo and we had a few questions. Host responded very quickly and was super nice. Will be saving this place in the app and likely staying again! HIGHLY recommend!
