Near Lake Ouachita & Hot Springs 10/10 Excellent "This cabin is a beautifully designed, cozy oasis for relaxation & peace. Yes, there is another cabin being built nearby, but it wasn't very visible from the cabin. I wanted seclusion, & this is probably as close as you can find these days. The eggs, bacon, & pancake mix provided was such a thoughful touch. While I love the tub, it wasn't relaxing for me because I was so focused on trying not to spray any water outside of the tub. The hot tub was perfect for sore muscles after hiking around Hot Springs for the day. We will definitely be back- the sooner the better!"

Family commented that this was the first place that we had stayed that there was no wait for the bathroom which is important when there are kids. We enjoyed the view and the trails around the rental. It was pet friendly and my dog enjoyed our hikes around the property as well. Host communicated and answered any inquiries promptly. Arkansas is a beautiful place to visit.
