First, we had an awesome weekend, their home was amazing!! We had everything we needed and more. The home was beautiful, however very comfortable. We felt at home from the morning moment we arrived, We have a family member in a wheelchair. The large open rooms made it very easy for him to navigate and move throughout the lower level. Wendy, the hostess was very responsive over the last 8 months as we planned our trip. Excellent rating!

Gorgeous Hot Springs Getaway

We had friends come from Nashville, TN and this property blew them (and us) away! It was spacious, yet inviting. It had plenty of rooms for the us to spread out at night to sleep, but also had spaces for us to all gather and hang out through our time here. We loved hanging out in the kitchen, dining room, and living room! It was beautiful and relaxing!

Beautiful Hstoric Home

This property was amazing. Wendy is the best host I have ever known. The house was fully stock with alll the nescessary items you need, all the paper products, plenty of towels, coffee, creamer and 2 coffee pots. The rooms are really spacious. The ice maker at the wet bar is amazing. The Sun room and the front porch was me and my husband's favorite. I would recommend this property to anyone. We will come again.
