  4/5

  The property is beautiful and has a great view of the river. But there are a few issues that need to be addressed. There is mold on the ceiling of the primary bathroom and mold in the shower. The primary shower has a water leak so the tile on the shower floor is spongy and we were afraid to use. The hot tub cover needs to be replaced as well as some of the railing and deck boards. The barn door into the primary bath has no track at the bottom and it swings away from the wall freely. The floor air intake in the primary bedroom is caved in as apparently someone stepped on it. The ice maker/water dispenser is not working on the fridge and that was mentioned in a review in July - should have been fixed. There are bar glasses for beer and wine, but no standard pint glasses for water or soda. There is an iron, but could not find an ironing board. In the pink bedroom, I can't believe this is a legal bedroom as there are NO windows. Also there is no shower liner, so the cloth shower curtain has mold. When we arrived, there was old food left in the fridge, and when we were ready to leave, could not find any extra trash bags. The blue (shark) bedroom has a terrible mattress. The secondary bedrooms have no dressers or shelving to put clothes, so you will be living out of a suitcase. The desk in the blue bedroom has no light so it is very hard to work and no outlets for plugging in a laptop. This could be a very nice place, but as is, not worth the higher price tag.

• Good, but definitely lacking in a few areas

  3/5

  Overall, the home is nice and the view is spectacular. The primary disappointment was the hot tub did not work during our stay at all. This was one of the main reasons I booked this particular home is to soak in a hot tub while overlooking the beautiful views. Other maintenance issues included the water/ice maker not working which was a minor inconvenience and the guest shower makes a very loud noise while water is running. I also recommend the owner upgrading to a softer mattress in the primary bedroom as it was uncomfortably firm and a higher quality, less springy mattress in the smaller bedroom. My family and I did enjoy sitting out on the patio and visiting, playing pool, shooting basketball, eating and playing games around the kitchen table, and cooking in the well appointed kitchen. Although we made the most of our stay, I don't foresee staying here again in the future.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Kelley, thanks for taking the time to review your stay. After reading your feedback, the homeowner wanted to share the following:
  - The hot tub malfunction was due to a lightning strike that charred the GFCI cord. We contacted the spa technician, but he was booked until after your stay. It is now repaired and fully functional.
  - We were unaware of the issue with the ice maker until your feedback and have since contacted an appliance company to repair it.
  Once again, we appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve the guest experience.

• Great Property - Very Fair Price

  5/5

  We rented the property to accommodate out of town guests that came to Hot Springs for our daughter's graduation. The property is updated with all of the modern touches, Our guests raved about the property and particularly, the deck and the view; and as others have posted, the photos do not do it justice. I would not hesitate to rent this property again.

• Beautiful view!!

  5/5

  The view from the desk is more stunning in person than pictures could ever show. The mattresses in the tigers bedroom felt new and very comfortable, the bed in the shark room is a spring mattress. The house was very clean! The desk outside has some slight raised boards and some minor raised nails, so I would recommend wearing shoes outside. The hot tub was cleaned and ready when we arrived. There are some steps descending down the side towards the water with a chain around the top handrail, but I would suggest a sign stating not to go down them as it is dangerous and a chain may not be enough of a deterrent.

  Finally, the driveway up to the overhang can be steep, so drive very slowly at the top of the hill! Thank you for sharing you clean and comfy home with us for a few days! :)
