My family and I traveled from Texas to stay near my parents in Hot Springs during Thanksgiving week. The weather was very chilly and windy, and the lake was down, but otherwise it was absolutely gorgeous. The fall colors lingered and the leaves crunched as my kids played in the yard. The home is very well maintained and has a lot of character, with brick floors and exposed beams. Our kids absolutely loved the house, played hide and seek, ping pong, and hanging out on the comfy couches. The kitchen is reasonably outfitted, the most convenient item being a large air fryer which is a must with small kids! This is a large house, with a kitchenette upstairs (and its own separate entrance), which makes it an ideal place to stay for a family gathering. The location is perfectly situated on the lake, close to one of the main roads in Hot Springs, but far enough back that it’s supremely quiet. We dream one day of owning a lake house in Hot Springs just like it, but will settle for booking again!
