Arkadelphia Vacations from $393

We had our dog because this was a pet friendly hotel. Not. They purposely put us on the 4th floor saying that they were fully booked when out in the parking lot there were only 14 cars. Our room also looked into the parking lot not at the lake seeing as we were the only one on the 4th floor. No doggy bags available no place to relieve my dog. If you are not dog friendly I wouldn't have stayed.

Good

I thought I was booking a beautiful place to stay. I didn’t expect The Reserve to make me feel so deeply cared for. My friend and I stayed in the Ouachita Suite, and the entire experience was peaceful, intimate, comfortable, and genuinely restorative. The property is gorgeous, but the thoughtful details and warm hospitality made it truly special. One morning, I was lying in bed knowing my tea would soon be waiting outside our door, and I found myself laughing and almost crying because it felt so wonderful. I’m usually the one who plans, coordinates, cooks, and cares for everyone else. At The Reserve, I could move at my own pace, enjoy breakfast without preparing it, and simply receive. Some places make you feel welcome; The Reserve allowed my entire nervous system to exhale. The staff made us feel genuinely cared for, and I missed them after we left. My only complaint is that I came home to discover no one had placed tea outside my bedroom door, breakfast had not magically prepared itself, and I was apparently responsible for my own life again. Very disappointing. 😂 The Reserve reset my standard for travel: beautiful, peaceful, personal, and lovingly cared for. It became one of the most meaningful parts of our Hot Springs trip. I would return without hesitation—and The Enclave may be next. Five stars.

Quaint little cottage with lake access. We enjoyed the water and the quiet retreat
