Gravel bike race at Hot Springs
We stayed here for my sons, gravel, bike race, which was held at the Hot Springs resort, and we’re so grateful to find a place that was walking distance to the resort. There was a front porch that you could see the riders go down the street and close in town to everything.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay the Dorland Cottage. Everything was within walking distance. The cottage is apart of Hot Springs history; it is quaint and relaxing, especially sitting on the front porch. We plan on coming back.

Most convenient stay in Hot Springs
Went for 80's weekend & the house is walkable to everything! Love the vintage craftsman style. Despite being close to the main street it is quiet & the off street parking is a plus. Kitchen is stocked well & dining room is a great gathering place for food or board/card games. Would definitely rent again!

Great spot for enjoying downtown Hot Springs!
We were able to walk to restaurants, shopping and Hot Springs Spa from the house. Nice views of the fall colors and a great front porch for relaxing. The dining room table was perfect for an evening of games.

The property is in the center of the town and easy accessible. The house itself and appliances as well as rooms, kitchen looked older than they were seen in the advertised picture. The max occupancy listed as 8. We rented for 2 and when we arrived the upstair access was locked. The first floor was kind of smelling moldy. I understand there was a $60 additional charge for more than 2 people staying. But I would rather paid $60 extra and stay in the upstairs room if the ad said you will not be allowed upstairs if you rent it for two people. We renter for two nights but we only stayed for a night because it was kind of smelling mold on the first floor. When we checked in, the neighbor came to inform us her brother will need to come and change the air filter and he did.

Perfect Hot Springs stay! Honest review!
The Dorland cottage was everything we needed for the perfect vacation in Hot Springs. Big and spacious and right in the center of town! Close enough to walk to shops and food! The only complaints I would have are a reach… Wi-fi was a little spotty but that’s to be expected in that area. The upstairs bedrooms got pretty hot during the day but they cooled down at night. We didn’t have the air on because we had beautiful spring weather. The floors were visibly clean but didn’t seem like they were mopped prior to our visit, not a huge deal! Owner Melanie installed a new microwave for us so we didn’t have to go without one! Melanie was super nice and accommodating! she helped with trash pick up and helped with a few items left behind after our stay. Would definitely recommend this property and would definitely stay again!

What a great place to stay!
We love Hot Springs, and this cottage matches the demeanor of the town perfectly. It was so nice to sit on the porch and watch the thru-hikers pass by. Can’t wait until our next stay.
