Great place to stay! It had everything we needed. Very clean and comfy beds and the coffee bar was awesome! We were in town for the races and it was just a 10 Uber ride to get over there so incredibly convenient! Karen is a wonderful host and quick to respond. Hope to stay again next year!
Cozy, Country Cottage was the perfect vrbo for us. It was clean and close to all of the attractions in Hot Springs. I would highly recommend this cottage.Best,Mary Rompf
This property was the most perfect sister-trip getaway location! The host was very communicative and helpful when getting into the house. The house was clean and offered all the amenities any home would have, including first aid needs and basic toiletries. I would absolutely recommend this property to anyone looking for a location in and around Hot Springs!
The hostess was so welcoming and helpful. Very responsive! The location is perfect-convenient to everything and we felt very safe. The cottage itself is adorable. They have done an amazing job of updating it enough to be comfortable but keeping the old time charm! The beds were super comfortable. The kitchen and bathroom amenities were everything you could need. Highly recommend and we can’t wait to stay again!
The cottage was absolutely perfect. It was charming, clean and comfortable. They have done an excellent job of updating the home, while keeping the history of the house intact. Comfy furniture blends with antique furniture. And we felt very safe staying here. Not to mention just minutes from good food and shopping!
Great home close to ballfields. We booked during our daughters softball tournament. House was centrally located. Very clean and tidy.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The cottage was exactly as described - lovely. Karen and Paul, our Hosts, we’re great and very responsive to our questions. You will enjoy your stay here!
The cottage was incredibly charming, clean and cutely decorated with beautiful antiques. It was the perfect place for my husband and I to get away for our anniversary. I would recommend this spot to anyone!
Karen’s property was so cozy and comfortable! All of the decor is so homey and everything was so clean and thoughtfully provided! The kitchen has everything you could need and more - she’s even stocked it with a few snacks, coffee, syrups, etc. We enjoyed our long weekend here and will book again :)
Very cozy and well kept older (1930s) property that had a nice mix of modern and antique. Although just off of a main highway, you could barely hear passing traffic unless it was a large vehicle. Close to downtown and major
thoroughfares
Nicely furnished with plenty of amenities such as spices and cooking items within close proximity of downtown Hot springs and the Garvan Woodland Gardens. The host was always quick to respond to any of my questions or concerns.
Communication with Karen was great--she's very attentive.
The house itself is a little bit on the older side, it's hard to tell from pics that the house is off a main road, so not as much a 'cabin feel' if you want a secluded/foresty place. The backyard is great for dogs.

Disliked: Location
Kitchen was fully equipped, including spices! Very clean! We were disappointed in how close the main highway was to the house. The online pictures looked like the house was further back. Due to traffic noise we weren't able to enjoy the outside. The spring was dry so we didn't get to enjoy it either. Overall, it's a nice place. We did enjoy Hot Springs and the weather was beautiful!
Although on very busy road, road noise not obvious at night. Comfortable bed. Fully equipped kitchen and it was really cold so nice to have tea bags to use. Really nice Entergy Park close by for hiking. Only suggestion is for owner to use non scented washing soap for sheets and towels especially for folks like us who are sensitive to scents used in cleaning products. Felt very safe here.
The cottage was even more cute in person than in the pictures. Everything was very comfortable. The little stream beside the house was a bonus. The cottage was located close to everywhere we wanted to go.
Karen was very helpful and responded quickly to questions we had. Really have no complaints.
The only thing I will comment on is the house is on a busy road. It wasn't a problem inside the house. But if you want to enjoy the outside, there is traffic noise.
We do recommend staying here and we would definitely do a return stay here.
Staying at the cottage was absolutely what we needed. The location is everything. Its located no further than a few miles from the dowtown area. The cottage is a lovely place. Truthfuly it felt like coming to a family home, so cozy. Its also very thoughtfully prepared by the host. The details for the guest is noticeable across the home. The kitchen is well stocked to cook. Bathrooms and bedroom provided with a graceful amount of linens and cleanliness was evident.
Yes, its in a main road but you really can't hear it while inside, and it didn't seem to bother us while on the covered porch. The spacious backyard brings a lovely sense of peace. Also the sound of the nearby creek adds to the outdoor experience. Overall, relaxing 😌 definetly the place to stay in the area.
