The home was cute and spacious. We LOVED the hot tub, obviously. It was great for relaxing after a hike on the AT and other nearby trails. The proximity to town was also perfect. We enjoyed eating in town each night of our trip. The kitchen also had everything we needed for preparing breakfast and lunch.

Worth the trip

Our host was wonderful and the location ideal to the AT and we were pleased to have made the trip. Unfortunately, due to a sensitivity to mildew and all the rain in the area, we needed to cut our trip shorter than planned.

Melanie's cottage was wonderful! It is set right on the Appalachian Trail. My granddaughter is thru hiking the trail. I decided to meet her in Hot Springs. She and two of her hiker friends stayed at the cottage with me. It was a welcome respite for the hikers. It gave them a chance to rest, soak their tired bodies in the hot tub, and do their laundry. The cottage was a short walk to restaurants, brewery, small grocery store, and Dollar General, which is very well stocked with reasonably priced food choices. The cottage is old, but nicely maintained with updates that make it feel cozy and inviting.Melanie, The Host, was super nice and helpful. We had a couple of issues that were promptly taken care of. Also,Melanie has been helping me locate a package that seems to have been lost at the post office. She still stops by the post office on occasion to see if it has shown up.You will love this cottage for it's charm, location, amenities, and great host! I highly recommend it.

Trailside cottage was perfect for relaxing after a few days on trail. The furniture is comfortable and the kitchen stocked with all I needed. The town is quiet and the views serene. I'd certainly plan on staying again on my next trip to Hot Springs.
