At the turn of the century, when curative mineral baths were in vogue for the elite to enjoy, Hot Springs was the mecca for naturally warm spring water baths. In the roaring twenties the home was purchased by F.O. Butler, a multimillionaire from Chicago, and converted into a guest house for his many affluent friends. With its inviting Victorian decor, crystal and brass chandeliers and oriental rugs covering beautiful hardwood floors, the grand history of the Villa Theresa Guest House can still be experienced today.
Guests are welcome to make themselves at home in any of several common areas.
Quiet evenings may be enjoyed on either of the two expansive verandahs. Head up to the original poker room to take in wonderful views in all directions as you unwind on the wicker furniture, play a hand of cards, or work a puzzle. Relax with your favorite book beside the fireplace in the towering great room graced by a magnificent 5-foot chandelier.
