The house is gorgeous, the neighborhood is quiet, and the surrounding nature is so calming. Then right around the corner youre smack-dab is in the middle of downtown. I found the guest binder very helpful for sourcing some good food and local attractions. The hosts were veylry communicative and helpful when I had questions (this was my first VRBO). Also, being able to bring my dogs and enjoy everything with them was so special :)

This was a very clean and comfortable property with all needed accommodations. It was pet friendly with a fenced oudoor space for a small dog when needing to go outside. Tucked into a mountainside, we were able to see deer while enjoying the patio space. The owners were immediately responsive to all of my questions. A list of attractions and eating establishments was available in the home along with emergency numbers if needed. 10/10 would recommend, and hope to stay again in the future!

Ramble Drive

The house was nicely done and is surrounded by the Hot Springs National Forest . There is a trailhead less than a quarter mile from the house so we hiked with our dog in the morning and enjoyed the natural beauty in the area for the rest of the day. Loved the Garvan Botanical Garden and the Anthony Chapel

The home is located in a beautiful location (we hated to leave but needed to), AND, guests must know that the home is built into a hillside and there is bare rock in the basement. Their was a recent rain and the basement was DAMP and MUSTY. If anyone in your group has respiratory conditions (like asthma) or an immunocompromised state, they need to know that it can get damp and musty! There is one continuously-running dehumidifier on a tall stand. There is no mention in the listing that the lower level can get damp. There is also a dehumidifier in the lower level bedroom (which is subterranean) that was full when we arrived. Our immunocompromised family member (who had just recovered from a one-month bout of pneumonia) began coughing immediately upon arrival - even when upstairs. His cough worsened within 30 minutes so we left. We stayed at the local hotel and his cough disappeared.
