We just can't say enough wonderful things about this property! Our stay was at the very beginning of spring; there were daffodils and wildflowers blooming everywhere, and the creek at the bottom of the hill was so much fun for the kids and our dog to explore. And the house itself is just absolutely perfect -- it even smells amazing! The attention to detail is impressive; the handrails on the stairs are made of one-of-a-kind natural branches, the fire pit stones are from the creek on site, the linens are spa linens -- everywhere you look, the place tells a story of care and attention.
From the porches to the views, the amazing fire pit, the house itself -- even the sound of the wind through the trees at night (like the ocean!)-- we all fell in love with Twisted Willow Lodge.
We also really appreciated the property manager/owner's thoughtfulness in recommending activities for our family. We canoed the Caddo River, went horseback riding, and saw the best parts of Hot Springs and the surrounding areas. We can't wait to go back! If I could give this place six stars I would!
And finally, this property is truly dog-friendly. Your dog has to have good manners -- there are important house rules -- but if you have a good dog that behaves well, this is the perfect place. The dog run is much larger than it looks in the photos, and there are convenient poop scoops/trash can. It's just right!
