Gravel bike race at Hot Springs

We stayed here for my sons, gravel, bike race, which was held at the Hot Springs resort, and we’re so grateful to find a place that was walking distance to the resort. There was a front porch that you could see the riders go down the street and close in town to everything.

Great spot for enjoying downtown Hot Springs!

We were able to walk to restaurants, shopping and Hot Springs Spa from the house. Nice views of the fall colors and a great front porch for relaxing. The dining room table was perfect for an evening of games.

Most convenient stay in Hot Springs

Went for 80's weekend & the house is walkable to everything! Love the vintage craftsman style. Despite being close to the main street it is quiet & the off street parking is a plus. Kitchen is stocked well & dining room is a great gathering place for food or board/card games. Would definitely rent again!

Cozy place in a cute town

House was clean and well maintained. The owner was super helpful and caring. She even gave us some tips about the town. Would have been nice to add on the description that there is only 1 shower out of the 2 bathrooms.
