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.

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. ##### Kim G. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer K. 7 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Wedding Venue! Our family loved staying at the historic Vaughn-Palmer house for our daughter's wedding. It was very clean and tidy and smelled nicely scented instead of musty. It worked great for adults downstairs and teens upstairs. The mattresses and pillows were really comfortable. There were enough chairs for a gathering of 20\. The sunroom is a great early morning hide-out. The kitchen and laundry room were outfitted with everything we needed. The only thing lacking was that I was unable to correspond with the owner about what was available for use for the wedding such as pitchers, tablecloth, silverware, etc. I am not sure if that is a VRBO policy or an oversight that my question was not seen. Turns out they had everything, but I had packed up an entire SUV of serving things (and just needed 2 bowls). I also would have liked the dead bushes and trees trimmed, but I know the deep winter freeze has put all of us in the south a bit behind. We can just edit out the dead limbs from the photos. The lawn was freshly manicured and looked lovely for the photos. Overall, the venue was great, the owner was helpful upon check-in and with questions during the stay, and it was a nice location in downtown Hot Springs: easy to pick up breakfast food for the wedding party just minutes away. Many thanks to the owner Wendy and her housekeeper Rhonda. ##### Jennifer K. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Saundra M. 2 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Elegant Historical Property The property is just as pictured on website. The rooms are huge, the house is huge and beautifully decorated. There were 5 adults, which included 1 couple. Everyone had his/her own space. There are 4 areas I feel could be tweaked but did not affect the superior rating. 1\. The incorrect network is listed to connect to WiFi. It wasn't until day 2 we figured it out. 2\. There are 2 doors (bedrooms downstairs) that need repair. The knobs comes off when pulled. This was frightening when it happened as it made me feel I did something wrong. 3\. The information sheet states to clean refrigerator out upon departure, but the doors are full of left over condiments/items from previous guests. 4.The 'master bath', there were leftover shampoo bottles and Dove shower soap left in the shower from a previous guest I assume. They were used bottles. As I stated these are minor things that should be addressed, but not show stoppers by any means. I would definitely stay here again without hesitation. Wendy the property owner is very quick to respond to messages which is very personable. ##### Saundra M.

It accommodated our large group and was very well stocked from the kitchen to bathrooms. Check-in was a breeze and the location was close to everything on our agenda. The house was beautifully decorated and all the beds were comfortable. ##### Sue F.
