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.

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!

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.

The ceiling in one of the downstairs bedroom is falling down. There is a big problem with black ants in the bathroom and back door entry. Other than that the house was great.
