Worked great for what we needed
We came up to Hot Springs formy husband to hike the trail. We have 2 kids under 15 months and a 13 year old dog. The selling point was the fenced in yard. It was large enough for my older daughter and dog to "explore" together, but not so big I couldn't sit on the porch and keep an eye on them. As far as homes I've VRBO'ed before this one was quite small, but was PERFECT in keeping the kiddo wrangled. The stand up shower was large. The bedroom bed is very soft...just the way I like it, but the pull out sofa bed has a harder mattress for those with a preference. It was nice to have the option. There was enough storage provided that if you like unpacking instead of living out of your suitcase, it's works well. Having the ROKU TV was very helpful at night when we let our kiddos watch TV, so it was a nice way to wind down. The kitchen is small. We did all our food prep before coming, and I'm glad we did. I would not have wanted to prepare meals. Most everything I needed was there to have been able to prepare a well rounded meal, but it would not have been my preference...I like to spread out when I cook. My only disappointment was a street light in the back yard. I was looking forward to seeing some stars. My husband pointed out that it was beneficial since the fenced in yard with the dog scent would attract wild animals would keep us safe if we need to let the dog out. Hot Springs is less than 20 min drive thru mt's roads. Overall, would stay again if we're in the area.

Wonderful!
Just enough room for the two of us and we really enjoyed the creek out back. Bonus that it’s pet friendly. We would definitely stay again, if in the area.

Creek Life Cottage.
We had a great stay. Too bad it was just for one night as we would have enjoyed being there longer and my husband wished he had brought his fishing rod. It was a perfect size for us and the fenced back yard was a plus for our dogs! Very relaxing. Owner very easy to work with and very accommodating. Thanks again!!

off the beaten path
This home provided a safe place for me and my dog while we explored the Hot Springs area. Not too many host homes provide a fenced in yard, so this was awesome to have! The creek in the backyard has moderate rushing water with a deep pool area; however, the little knats swarming about was a bit much to sit and enjoy the creek. This may be a seasonal thing (June). The bed was comfortable and I slept well. The drive to Hot Springs took about 25 minutes (driving at speed limit or just below it). Lastly, cooking is not ideal here, but warming food on the stove top is just fine. I was hesitant to use the oven because it's gas, and I did not see proper ventilation. We went into Hot Springs to eat our meals and they were delicious!

We have stayed here many times over the past few years. We also knew the previous owners. My only suggestion would be to have an extra set of bedding for the fold out couch and pillowcases for the extra pillows. (maybe I missed the part about bringing extra for the couch) But everything was absolutely wonderful otherwise. Sonya was very quick in responding to any questions that I had.

The Creek!
Moms of teenagers needed to get away for one night. It was so perfect! The fire pit and creek were absolutely what we were looking for. The house had all the amenities and was super comfortable. Sonya was very responsive and we had no issues whatsoever. I could see it being a great place for a couple with a small dog or, like for us, just friends that needed a night off. Loved it!
