A lovely comfortable home away from home with a kitchen fit for a chef! Super clean! The full expanse of windows across the living/kitchen area overlooking the lake as well as the deck out the back door and on the water give ongoing opportunities to enjoy the birds t

Fun in Hot Springs

We had a terrific mother/daughter get away. The house was immaculate and beautifully decorated. We enjoyed the gorgeous patio and the view of the lake. We had a wonderful time shopping and exploring the nearby antique stores and taking a horseback ride near Mt Ida.

Beyond our expectations, so relaxing.

From booking to checkout, everything was smooth. We were greeted with a personal note. The home was so clean and bright, outdoor spaces were inviting. We were sorry we couldnt share it with friends, but the time alone was priceless. We would love to book it again. Our only regret was that we didnt pack our fishing poles maybe next time. We've already recommended this to family members, but it is a long drive, for us almost 12 hrs. Beautiful hills & good roads, plenty more to see in the area, because we enjoyed just being at the property. Local information provided led us to some fantastic restaurants where we were able to celebrate our 46th Wedding Anniversary.! overlooking the deck & river.

My husband and I went down to celebrate our 31st Wedding Anniversary, which was bittersweet because we had just lost our daughter in March. Gave us a chance to unwind and re-group. So many emotions running high and grief……this place was wonderful. Thank you, hardly describes what it meant to us.❤️

Sisters' Weekend

My sister and I stayed at this location for a weekend of relaxation and catching up on a long awaited visit. The location is great!! The home is immaculate and met all our needs. We spent a lot of time on the massive deck taking in all the surroundings. I highly recommend this VRBO and its wonderful hosts.

Perfect place to relax

This property was perfect! Sitting on the deck or the floating dock was the ultimate spot to enjoy the water view. Hosts provided everything needed and the house was exceptionally clean and the decor was beautiful. The king bed was super comfortable and the area was really quiet. I highly recommend this property and hope to stay there again.

Beautifully House & Property

My mom and I stayed here for a mother/daughter trip. It was perfect! Our hosts left a welcome note, check-in was easy, there were thoughtful touches throughout like soap & shampoo in the shower, extra toothbrushes, recommendations on restaurants, instructions for the ROKU, and a bowl of chocolates! The property is beautiful, it exceeded my expectations! Thank you for a great stay, I hope to come back again!

Great View / Very Relaxing

Great cottage with everything we needed. Property is on the river with great views and a relaxing dock. Had a great time. I found the neighborhood streets back to the cottage a bit tricky, but no problem if using a navigation app.
