This beautiful historic property had everything you could need: plenty of silverware, condiments, coffee, and all the comfort of home not to mention this place is beautiful. i’ve been with Vrbo for more than 15 years and this is by far the best place we’ve ever stayed. I would highly recommend it for families.

I could live here. Everything was top notch. We had a small 100th birthday celebration for my mother. Out of town relatives stayed in the house and we had the party here. We had everything we needed. And Wend was the best hostess/owner.

Gorgeous Hot Springs Getaway

We had friends come from Nashville, TN and this property blew them (and us) away! It was spacious, yet inviting. It had plenty of rooms for the us to spread out at night to sleep, but also had spaces for us to all gather and hang out through our time here. We loved hanging out in the kitchen, dining room, and living room! It was beautiful and relaxing!

Beautiful Hstoric Home

This property was amazing. Wendy is the best host I have ever known. The house was fully stock with alll the nescessary items you need, all the paper products, plenty of towels, coffee, creamer and 2 coffee pots. The rooms are really spacious. The ice maker at the wet bar is amazing. The Sun room and the front porch was me and my husband's favorite. I would recommend this property to anyone. We will come again.

Birthday Dinner

The house was amazing, makes you feel like you are at home. I had a birthday dinner for my husband with some of his friends and wives. They all loved the atmosphere of the house, they said it was so inviting. The only thing we did not like was that our time was short. Not a single one of us wanted to leave. One of the couples wanted me to contact the owner to see if they could purchase the couch, then said hell the house too. We really enjoyed this place. We will be going back soon.

Beautiful

Gorgeous 120 year-old home! I had my 3 adult children and their spouses, one 12-year old and one 20 month old. Perfect and still more beds available! The house is so big with plenty of room and bathrooms, kitchen fully stocked, beds are very comfortable, beautiful yard with great location!! The 12 year old loved the basketball net! The host is so quick to respond and left us a very nice welcome basket of goodies. I don’t think we could have picked a better home for our family and the location was central to everything. If we ever return to Hot Springs, I would definitely rent this home again!!! HIGHLY recommend!!!

Perfect!

We are a small friendship/prayer group that comes together every year for a 3-day retreat. This was our 3rd year to stay at this property. It is absolutely perfect for us! There is room for all 8 of us. The beds are super comfortable. The kitchen has pretty much everything we need - and well organized. The décor is beautiful. Wendy, our host, is so, so easy to work with. If there was anything not absolutely perfect, it would be that the wi-fi signal was weak. It was there, but would drop. We can't wait to go back next year!
