Really comfy bed. " - "I had a wonderful time here & would stay here again in a heartbeat next time I’m passing thru Hot Springs. The site was well-supplied, well-organized, and included a very thorough binder of local recommendations. It was also beautiful! I loved swaying in a hammock watching the stars, the perfect little fire ring, string lights everywhere. The bed was cozy even in cold weather. The hosts were also very communicative and friendly while doing a great job of maintaining renter privacy. Everything I could’ve needed was supplied, I was able to cook a meal with ease.
