About this house rental

King's Escape is a large, comfortable and luxurious home in a nice, quiet, upscale neighborhood of Hot Springs, Arkansas ... with more amenities than we can list.

It's the perfect base station for exploring the natural beauties of America's historic and world famous spa ... Hot Springs National Park ... the Number 1 tourist destination in Arkansas.

King's Escape has 3000 plus square feet on two levels with 4 bedrooms capable of sleeping 8 to 10 persons comfortably. It has 2.5 bathrooms with two showers and a large jacuzzi in the master bath.

On the patio we have a hot tub with seating for eight persons.
The garage has been converted into a game room with ping pong, foosball, darts, toys and games.

The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, plates, cups and utensils with a formal dining room and breakfast nook ... combined seating for 10 persons.

In the Great Room we have leather furnishings, cable tv, wifi, a sound bar and a wood burning fireplace ... firewood furnished.

There is plenty of parking off street in our long, wide driveway.

Within minutes of our location you can be touring the quaint shops, museums, restaurants, bars and entertainment venues along Bathhouse Row ... across from the grand and historic bath houses where visitors from all over the world come to enjoy the healing waters of the natural geothermal springs ... that give our town it's name.

We are only two miles from Oaklawn Casino & Racetrack for those who would like to try their luck. This is where the world's fastest thoroughbred race horses ... such as American Pharaoh ... have entertained crowds of thousands as they compete to win the Arkansas Derby and thereby qualify for the Kentucky Derby and a chance for the coveted Triple Crown of horse racing.

Hot Springs National Park is surrounded by the Zig Zag Mountains of the Ouachita National Forest ... one of the oldest and largest national forests in the USA ... with numerous trails for exploring, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, camping ... or rock hunting for quartz crystals and other rare minerals.

Hot Springs is also adjacent to three popular lakes constructed on the Ouachita River.

Lake Ouachita is the largest and most beautiful lake in Arkansas ... with hundreds of miles of wilderness shoreline ... including 200 islands. It is considered by many to be the "Cleanest Lake in the USA" and the "Striped Bass Capital of the World." It is currently the site of the finals of the World Cup Bass Fishing Tournament. Lake Ouachita is like an inland sea ... ideal for swimming, fishing, boating, skiing, scuba diving and island camping.

Lake Hamilton is an urban lake on the edge of town with beautiful mansions, night clubs and restaurants along it's shores ... accessible by boat. Entergy Park has a boat ramp with slips, fishing piers and picnic areas adjacent to Carpenter Dam ... just a 3 mile drive from King's Escape. Further down Carpenter Dam Road is the incredible Garvin Gardens ... well worth a visit.

Hot Springs has an interesting history as "America's Spa" ... with legends of the ancient native tribes who came here to bathe in the magical waters then known as the "Valley of Vapors" ... allegedly visited by the Spanish explorer Hernando De Soto ... and later explored by the Hunter-Dunbar Expedition sent up the Ouachita River by President Thomas Jefferson to investigate the geothermal springs ... it's the place where Jesse James and his gang robbed their first stage coach ... where famous gangsters like Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, Bugsy Moran and others ran their illegal liquor, gambling and prostitution operations ... where famous baseball players like Babe Ruth, Honus Wagner and Dizzy Dean came with their teams for spring training. It was here at Whittington Park that Babe Ruth hit the world's longest home run over the trees and into a pond at the Alligator Zoo ... that still exists. Many such players attributed their success to bathing and drinking the magic geothermal waters.

Back at the House

Adjacent to the Great Room is the Atrium ... a quiet place to relax, visit, read a book or play board games.

Double glass doors lead out back to the patio where you will find cushioned outdoor furniture a charcoal grill and a large hot tub to seat 8 persons.

Also on the main floor you will find a half bath adjacent to a washer and dryer.

There is also a bedroom on the main floor featuring a twin over full bunkbed ... shelves filled with hardback books ... and a desk for reading or working on your laptop.

The stair way to the 2nd floor has a chair lift to make life easier for the grandparents. On the 2nd floor are 3 large bedrooms connected by a catwalk.

The large master bedroom has a king size bed, flat screen television, private deck, walk-in closet and a full bath with a large jacuzzi hot tub and shower.

On the other end of the catwalk are 2 nicely furnished bedrooms with queen size beds and easy access to a full bathroom with tub and shower.

We have no doubt you will enjoy the luxury and comfort of King's Escape as you experience the many amenities that our beautiful town has to offer.

Our goal is to make your visit to Hot Springs National Park a wonderful 5 star experience. You will love it!

Sincerely,
The King Brothers

The online pics are accurate. Lots to do within 5 to 20 minutes of property. The house is dated with wear, but everything was in working order.

My family and I came for the eclipse, which was phenomenal in itself, but this home made the whole trip perfection! The home is as beautiful as the pictures show, and the yard was more charming than I had imagined! Could not have been more pleased! We were all so comfortable and happy there, and hope to come back to enjoy more of Hot Springs!
