Relaxing retreat
Review Submitted: February 28, 2009
Date of Stay: September 2008
I stayed at Holly Ridge in September 2009 for a women's gathering/birthday celebration. The house is peaceful and in a beautiful natural setting. Ceiling fans inside and on the porch make it easy to open the windows and feel the wonderful breeze, as well as allowing the sounds of nature in. The property has lovely flower beds and plenty of room for strolling. A cool creek borders the property and is a refreshing wade on a hot day. The house is lovely with a fully equipped kitchen and a large living room, 3 bedrooms, and 2 baths. I slept in the large airy master bedroom and it was wonderful. Very comfy bed. I spent lots of time on the front porch swing enjoying nature. There are electronic entertainment options in the house (TV, etc), but I preferred nature's entertainment!
The home has incredible, peaceful energy with colorful sacred art incorporated into the design, and I felt immediately at home. It was clean and well-equipped, and my needs were met during my stay. Nearby is a gorgeous clear lake--excellent swimming and boating for those with boats--deep forest, and crystal mines. The town of Hot Springs with all its spa services is within easy driving distance.
The only thing that would make it more fabulous is a hot tub! This retreat is excellent for women's gatherings (particularly wonderful energy for this), families, and couples. It is a peaceful getaway with attentive and friendly hosts. If you're really lucky, you might even get to see the owner's dogs, who are exceptionally well-behaved. I recommend this for a peaceful getaway or a home base for active pursuits in Arkansas.
