Spacious getaway

We enjoyed this property! We loved the spacious lot, large large backyard, hot tub, huge (and I mean huge 100+) board game collection, rural location yet ten minutes to town, etc. I only have a few very minor drawbacks, but I would still book this property again… 1. most of the board games were for ages 12+ (it would be great if a few younger kid board games were added), 2. when I went to cook something, several of the burners weren’t working so some minor maintenance needed there, 3. The security deposit is several thousand which seems high but I get it with the value of the games, allowing pets, and they were relatively fast to return it. The only other thing to note is there are not a lot of food options close by…maybe two or three places are 5 mins away. however, you can be in main hot springs in 10-15 mins so it wasn’t a problem for us, just worth noting. By the second or third night, I noticed the king bed wasn’t that comfy, but the guest queen was super comfy, so maybe add a mattress topper or something on the king. Overall, great stay, great place, quiet yet convenient location…happy we booked it!

Great getaway in Hot Springs, AR.

This property is exactly as described by the owner. It has a great open floor plan with a very large master suite on one end and and two nice sized bedrooms on the other. It will comfortably accommodate a group of 6 and a dog or two. The backyard is great for dogs! It's huge! Our little Chihuahua loved it. There is a nice deck out back with a very nice hot tub. My daughter used the hot tub, but mid July is not the best time for a hot soak so I opted out. The kitchen has every thing you need to prepare, cook, and serve food. There was a charcoal grill on the deck we did not use - we went out each night. There are two TVs - none in the bedrooms though. The collection of board and card games is amazing - you've probably not heard of most of them! The beds are very comfortable and everything was exceptionally clean. Best part is that it's located in a very quiet and nice heavily wooded neighborhood and you don't really see the neighboring homes due to the trees and vegetation. It feels secluded, but it's only a few minutes to anywhere you want to go in Hot Springs. We would absolutely stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Chris Hough

Leia is a city dog who loves the rural beauty of Hot Springs. She enjoys the large yard, with various park-like nooks, and the easy access to nature that her Hillside Haven provides. Her favorites are Garvan Woodland Gardens, the Hot Springs Greenway walking and biking trails, and the Promenade in downtown Hot Springs. Sometimes she stays at home while her human companions enjoy the famous Hot Springs National Park thermal mineral water at Buckstaff Bathhouse downtown, visit Oaklawn racetrack, or enjoy the other local amenities.

Why they chose this property

Leia's Hillside Haven offers rural beauty. Sitting on over 1 acre, the home is private and hosts regular visitors from the frog, rabbit and bird families (with deer visitors at times outside the fenced yard). The yard is serene and offers multiple venues for relaxing – in the hot tub, on the deck, under the covered patio awning, or in any one of the yard's featured areas of rest and respite.

What makes this property unique

Despite its rural relaxing venue, Leia’s Hillside Haven is close to US-270 and a mere 10 minutes from Oaklawn racetrack and downtown Hot Springs, with many other amenities in close range.
