The traffic isn't awful but if seclusion is your goal you may want to pick one of the spots away from the creek.

The outdoor showers are amazing and the campfire get together in the evenings at the office is really cool! I'll definitely be back someday!

First there is space. Space between you and your neighbor. Second Charlotte and Steve are the most kind,friendly informative and top notch hospitality. Anything from sharing recourses they have used and telling us about the best places to eat and find produce. It makes you feel like part of the community. Third this place is big and the mowing looks like a chore in itself. From the clubhouse laundry facilities showers and grounds are kept immaculate. It is so peaceful here and very safe. Last but not least is the pond with fish and frogs that put you to sleep at night. Nothing beats this place

I have a lot to say about this place, so settle in for a long review…read more Breakfast Buffet : We love the breakfast buffet. Whether it's just the two of us or we have out-of-town guests, it consistently delivers on quality and variety. The coffee is always hot (and, I'm told, locally sourced). There are indulgent options as well as lighter, healthier choices, so there's something for every mood. We especially appreciate the freshness, cleanliness, and high quality of the food and the quick service means we can be in and out and ready for the day. Overall, the breakfast buffet is excellent value. Dinner : We've dined at the Nu Wray several times and each visit has been excellent. Service is consistently attentive and the food is wonderful. Over multiple visits we've tried many entrees; the roast with sides is our favorite. Portions are generous. They're often enough for leftovers to enjoy later. The dessert and wine selections are a treat. Lodging : We've had the pleasure of seeing several rooms at the Nu Wray and the adjoining Carriage House, each tastefully decorated, meticulously cleaned, and thoughtfully stocked with everything you need for a perfect stay. The inn's attention to detail is evident throughout, and the nods to its history are fascinating to explore. Don't miss the second‑floor balcony overlooking the town square, a gorgeous spot for morning coffee or a nightcap, with cocktails served by the skilled mixologists at the lobby bar. The whole place feels like a step back in time, beautifully and thoughtfully restored. Events : We hosted our twin baby shower at the Nu Wray Inn and are deeply grateful to James, Amanda, and their staff for making it unforgettable. From a personalized menu created just for us to hand‑crafted desserts made fresh by their exceptional baker, every detail was perfect. The food was outstanding, and the service went above and beyond. They took care of us and our guests the entire afternoon, allowing us to relax and enjoy the celebration. This was a once‑in‑a‑lifetime event that we will cherish forever; the beautiful setting, thoughtful touches, and flawless execution made memories we'll carry with us for the rest of our lives. Thank you to everyone at the Nu Wray for making our day so special.

First of all, let me say that we lived our experience at Laughing Waters. It is a BEAUTIFUL space…read morewith ample room and stunning views. My issues were with communication and their lack of transparency. We made our reservation online and when we got our confirmation email, there was no check in or check out time. It is also not available on their website. When we called, we got a voicemail for the Hot Springs high school & laughing waters campground. Weird. But okay. Left a voicemail, never got a call back. There are also no check in instructions. So we arrived at 3:45 on the day of check in. No station, no instructions, nothing. So we call again and a woman answers and is slightly annoyed that we are calling. Informs us that it is self check in (whatever that means) and I s not until 4 pm because they all work. But since we are there we can go ahead and set up camp. Campers should be aware that while their photos depict largely wooded areas, they are not. The campsites are set up in a field on the edge of the river. So you do have trees, but they are largely at the edge of the river. A few campsites had more trees, but ours was in the field (blue heron site). This is fine, but the photos make it seem like you're in the woods. And I'm the summer, I would imagine that the direct sun is brutal. They advertise eco toilets - it's a porta-John. Literally nothing more. Also advertised a first aid station which we did not see, did not find signs for, nor was it in the confirmation email. We didn't need it. But if we had, who knows. A map of the property would have been nice. All in all. I would definitely recommend Laughing Waters. But I think they should be more transparent about what their property and procedure looks like.

It was right next to Spring Creek. We enjoyed listening to the sounds of the river and relaxing. The cabin was nicely decorated and well-equipped with a kitchen (refrigerator, stove, etc.), clean bathroom, and wifi. Very comfortable accommodations. We understand that their restaurant is no longer operation except for breakfast. But, if you are able to reserve breakfast, it's well worth it. We loved the breakfast on the outdoor patio of the main historic house. It is a peaceful setting and the food was excellent. Kudos to the chef/server Kim for her work. We will certainly stay at Mountain Magnolia again and recommend their facilities to anyone visiting Hot Springs.

A weekend getaway for my husband and I. Covid regulations were finally relaxing as businesses were…read moreopening back up and we were excited for our mini vacation. We booked a 2-night stay at Mountain Magnolia bed & breakfast for June 11-13th. This was our second stay here as our first time was three years prior. We even booked the same upstairs corner room with a huge deck and balcony. The weather during our stay was humid and rainy. Upon checking in on an early Friday evening, the room appeared clean and welcoming. We immediately took showers to wash off the sweat and rain from our afternoon clay shooting. There is a jacuzzi tub in the bathroom, however we didn't use it because of the stains on the tub floor. Even though it was most likely clean and sanitary, it wasn't screaming "come soak in me" the least bit. After a terrible dinner in town, we visited the hot springs hot tubs before coming back to our room for the night. It's unfortunate that the Inn did away with the restaurant they use to have down stairs. I loved that restaurant; it was incredibly convenient and they offered an amazing menu. Really bummed because the restaurant was half the appeal. Day 2, we woke up later than usual, but the keeper had our breakfast waiting for us on a tray downstairs. Yogurt and granola, blueberry bran muffin, mixed fruit bowl, coffee, and a hard boiled egg. Yummy. I had booked a massage with a gal that came to the inn around 11 am, and she did an amazing job. Then we traveled down the road to the rafting place and rafted the river. By the time we returned to the Inn, the keeper was gone for the night. Which was fine, except we were in desperate need of fresh towels. The bath towels they provided us with the room were soaking wet and dirty. We searched the entire Inn looking for a linen closet with no luck. So we finally made the decision to "borrow" the towels from the downstairs room that was clean and had no residents. At least, we think it had no residents. Ugh. I really hope we didn't take some poor couple's towels who had a super late arrival. Whoever thought that 2 towels for 2 adults for 2 nights was enough, was so wrong. I need 2 towels just for myself for 1 night. Lol. Anyway, after stealing towels from another room (don't worry, we left a note), we showered and headed to bed. Breakfast was available to us the second morning, but we were only interested in the coffee before hitting the road home. Here's a list of the positives: Parking is easy. The rooms are big, clean and welcoming. They provide WiFi. Checking in and out is easy, smooth and hassle-free. The balconies provide a beautiful view. The corner balcony is huge. The bed is super comfortable. There's air conditioning, a ceiling fan and extra fan in the wardrobe. There's a fireplace and extra blankets (also in the wardrobe). There's hangers in the wardrobe, in case you forgot to bring some. They also put the hair dryer in the wardrobe. They gave you a built-in treasure hunt game called "where is everything?" You have access to power outlets to charge your electronic devices. Breakfast is awesome. The inn keeper is nice and welcoming. They provide you with shampoo, conditioner and body wash in a wall dispenser. And the bathrooms have a jacuzzi tub. Here's a list of the negatives: Cell service is inconsistent (which isn't really their fault, it's just a spotty location). They only allow smoking in one area on the premises, and that area doesn't include your private balcony. You can only use the fireplace in the winter. They only provide you with 2 towels, which isn't enough for an extended stay. You could probably get more towels by asking the inn keeper, but make sure you do it in the morning when she's around and not evening when she's gone. The tubs could be cleaner. There is no tv in the rooms. The wardrobe in the room has no handles, making the opening of the doors quite a hassle. The drawers in the bottom of the wardrobe are broken, making them unusable. You can't turn the ceiling fan on high without it shaking uncontrollably, giving you the feeling of being in a deadly earth quake. The bathroom is small with no counter, leaving little room to place your makeup or toiletries. And the balcony is very unpleasant in the rain (they need to provide a table umbrella, or small gazebo of sorts). Normally, one would look at the negatives and think "well that's not so bad." However, when you see the price tag for a night's stay? That little stuff becomes a much bigger deal. We paid a little over $250 per night. The price tag was WAY too high for what they offer, in my personal opinion. With all that being said, I still heavily recommend this inn. We were told that the place is getting new owners soon, so hopefully they address the issues and maybe lower the price. We will definitely be back.
