The host was fantastic and we enjoyed our stay very much. There aren’t many restaurants or shopping options close but Hot Springs isn’t far and it’s worth checking out.
Words are not enough to express how beautiful it is. The owners are very friendly. 5 stars is not enough. I won't wait long to return with my brothers and cousins.
