Description: After much debate about where to stay, I decided Wildwood was the place for us. The reviews were outstanding and the prices weren’t bad either. Neither my fiancé nor I have ever stayed at a bed-and-breakfast, so this was a whole new experience for us and we didn’t quite know what to expect.
Upon arriving, we were greeted at the door by David who gave us the warmest welcome I have ever received. He then proceeded to show us around the house. This house cannot be put into words. It is so gorgeous and detailed that you must see it for yourself. After touring the bottom floor, David brought us to the third floor where our room (the King David room) was. When we entered we were just blown away. They had all the lights turned down with candles lit and rose petals scattered on the bed. It was one of the most romantic moments of my life. The King David room has the nicest bathtub I have ever seen. It was 7½ feet long and very deep. Wildwood is the first house in the county to have indoor plumbing, so this has led them to believe it is the first bathtub in the county. How neat is that?
Wildwood has numerous amenities and small details that make it truly special. They have turned the Ladies’ parlor room into a sort of living/TV area. There is a collection of DVDs to choose from to watch in the DVD player in your room. In the butler’s pantry, there was a never-ending supply of drinks and snacks.
Each morning Rebecca cooks a three to four course breakfast that is served in the dining room. The food was outstanding! We never had to eat lunch during our stay. We usually just got a snack in the afternoon and ate a nice dinner. Each morning brought a totally different menu. It was absolutely perfect. After breakfast, Rebecca did a history tour of the house that I found very interesting. It was really neat to be able to imagine the house in its glory years. The builder of the house, Sarah was an exceptional woman, and you can see her touches throughout.
We loved our stay at the Wildwood and will definitely be going back. As far as I’m concerned, it’s the only place to stay in Hot Springs.
