Our History

Located in the largest historic district in the United States, the Kaitlin House was built by Captain John Marshall and his wife Kaitlin after the Civil War. Captain John was a sea captain of a merchant ship. His wife Kaitlin could not bear to live by the sea waiting for her husband John to return. Captain John built the house for his wife so that she might have not only a home but a source of income should anything happen to him in his risky profession as a merchant sea captain.

In spite of his wife's fears, Captain John did return from the sea and retired to join his wife in Hot Springs. The Marshalls were prominent residents of Hot Springs, well known for their hospitality. Captain John was referred to as “that large, jolly gentleman who lived on Spring Street.” The nickname “Uncle John” was bestowed upon him by the town’s many children, as he always had sweets and tall tales from his sea voyages.

Many of the antiques and furnishings in the Kaitlin House were presents Captain John brought to his wife on those rare occasions when he returned from the sea. They have been handed down from generation to generation. Also, Captain John brought his wife clippings of various exotic plants he had gathered from his vast travels. The gardens at Kaitlin House host an extraordinary variety of plant specimens and have been featured in Southern Living. The gardens are also a variety place of botony students from the University of Arkansas, who visit seasonally.

Your hosts, Charles and Mary Simpson, are from the Deep South but they have a strong love and appreciation of the mountains here in Arkansas. Charles loves to tell the tales of Hot Springs' past as well as the history of the historical bed and breakfast.
