It is very well stocked and the photos are accurate, but do not do the home justice, as once you enter this home, the ambiance is so inviting, peaceful and lovely. Our host, Catherine, was very communicative and insures every guest is well taken care of. If you are looking for an historic and upscale experience in Hot Springs, Apricottage is waiting for you.
