'Monet’s Cottage' in Hot Springs National Park

Reviews

• Would not recommend

  1/5

  The first night was amazing. After coming back second day I started to notice that the place wasn’t very clean (cob webs every where, dead bugs) there was a rag shoved in a hole in the ceiling. Not to mention the swarm of flying ants that invaded the bathroom was gross. Cleaned it up twice and the third time there was over 200 of them. I WOULD NOT recommend this place at all. They also need to update the pictures on the listing as well. Some stuff does not look like that at all.

• This is not a cottage it’s disgusting!

  1/5

  This place is not a cottage it’s a trailer in the middle of woods. It was so filthy from not being cleaned properly it got me sick. The trailer had rats living in roof with babies that I heard the whole time I was there. To make matters worse things seemed to be tearing up from old age. This place needs to be renovated nothing short of being condemned. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! This is a bad vacation choice. I am still sick from the mold that was up in there. There’s only one taxi service in Hot springs and they are not up to par either. Ugh worse vacay experience ever! Wish I could post the pics of the appalling filth!

• New Years Getaway

  4/5

  I booked this place with my fiancé for a fun, relaxing New Years weekend. The property is located near downtown so that was nice, since we spent a lot of our time out and about exploring. I was aware that other rental properties are on this same lot, however, I guess I didn’t realize that the place I booked is split into two rentals with only a locked door in the hall separating us. When we walked into our rental, we heard people talking and I thought someone was in our rental space, but it was just the couple on the other side. You can hear everything… especially from the bathroom. The couple next door also started smoking cigarettes and set off their smoke alarms. The cigarette smell started coming into our unit so I notified the owner. We are both non smokers and sensitive to cigarette smoke. Staying here made us feel a bit uncomfortable with how close the other couple was and not having any doors. We ended up leaving a day early. We would definitely visit Hot Springs again, but I wouldn’t stay here.

• Property communication laxks

  3/5

  The bed was not a full queen size bed, it appeared to be more like a floor room model. The coffee machine was not a Keurig. It was a regular coffee pot and I specifically went and bought K cups for the Keurig only to show up and see that it was a coffee pot. Both propane tanks were out of propane. The refrigerator was dirty and sticky. And the shower had a clump of black hair in it. The next-door neighbors were blaring their TV at 5 o’clock in the morning on our last morning there. But it wouldn’t do any good to email the property owners about that either, because they won’t respond to any other emails. I also emailed the property owner three times and communicated through phone and did not get a single response the whole time we were there or even after we left. The bed was hard as a rock, and I ended up sleeping on the couch, which was also very worn down, and you could feel the wood underneath the cushions. We will not be back, but the nail in the coffin was the property owner not even having the courtesy to respond to an email.

  This cottage was absolutely perfect for our wedding and honeymoon. Quaint and cozy. So romantic. Will definitely be staying here again
