"The Farmhouse was the perfect place for our family to gather and honor the memory of our Mamma/Nanny. Mom was a 16-yr old Girl Scout the first time she dipped her toes in the Caddo and we know she was smiling down on us 80 years later. We could all comfortably gather for meals and family games, but also find a quiet place for old or young to nap when needed. Just the ideal spot for us----we shall return!!"

"My wife and I stay at many, and I mean many vacation rentals each year as we love to travel. I must say without hesitation that this vacation stay was top of the best and most definitely a fantastic stay! The little cabin was tastefully rustic from the outside and once we stepped foot inside the modern attention to detail and updates was spot on. It was so clean, the back enclosed deck facing Lake Hamilton was amazing, the bathroom was super clean and the beds were way comfy We highly recommend this stay and we will definitely tell all friends and family that this is the go to and only place to stay if visiting Hot Springs!"
