Description

Prospect Place Bed and Breakfast ... one of Hot Springs' finest! This charming Queen Anne style Victorian home was built in 1879 by a German immigrant, Gus Straus, who was believed to be one of Hot Springs' first bankers and the builder of the first Arlington Hotel.

Open year round, the inn caters to both tourists and business visitors. Operated by the same owners since 2004, the inn has provided a steady income with repeat and referral visits accounting for over 50% of their business. In fact, the guests have raved so much over their stay, the inn earned the 2011 TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence.

The home has approximately 4,562 square feet, four guest bedrooms placed in the four corners of the second floor so that none of the bedrooms share a common wall providing complete privacy. Each bedroom has its own individual style, a cozy fireplace and private bathroom. The home has been fully renovated and restored to its original historic style and features a winding staircase, beautiful hardwood floors and molding, and zoned heat and air. The dining room seats up to 10 for hearty breakfasts. Decorated in colors and furniture of its period and history, the home is welcoming and comfortable. You will truly enjoy the tranquil setting in the back yard with a colorful palette of flowers surrounding by its beautifully groomed lawn and water features flowing into the koi ponds, with the mountains as the back drop of this picture perfect setting. Rest assured in the quiet seclusion with comfy lounge chairs along the patio and enjoy soaking in the five-person spa tub. This park-like setting is also the perfect place for gatherings and even weddings.

This stunning home is filled with so much history, and was used during the period of 1937 - 1968 as a private kindergarten by the Towle family. The "Kinderkoop" operated on the first floor of the home, and was the place where Roger Clinton - brother of the former President Bill Clinton- attended school.
