"The room was clean and all was in good repair. The location was close to Hot Springs (less than 15 minute drive), but on the shore of the lake, which was enjoyable. The kitchen was well equipped. The shower had plenty of hot water. The only issues I had with the property were that there was no freezer in the fridge and the TV was a bit confusing to operate. Overall, it was a good place to stay at a fair price. If I were able,I would rate it 4.5 out of 5 stars."

"The Farmhouse was the perfect place for our family to gather and honor the memory of our Mamma/Nanny. Mom was a 16-yr old Girl Scout the first time she dipped her toes in the Caddo and we know she was smiling down on us 80 years later. We could all comfortably gather for meals and family games, but also find a quiet place for old or young to nap when needed. Just the ideal spot for us----we shall return!!"
