Everything we were looking for

This place was wonderful. Amazing views and close to the Gardens. Perfect place to stay if you want to do all things nature. Nothing soothes the soul like a firepit and some music down by the water. We will absolutely be staying here again!

Birthday Weekend on Hamilton

Very much enjoyed our stay at Lake Hamilton. The upper-deck patio was by far the star of the show. Great place to hangout and enjoy the lake, play games, drink coffee, eat meals - rain or shine! Loved how everyone could have their own bed and be comfortable, the house was very charming, and it was nice being able to take our paddle boards out on the lake from the house. We went into town one evening for dinner and Hot Springs was a quick <20 minute drive. Overall, we loved it!

Wonderful Lake Time

We really enjoyed staying here! The home has 3 levels and we enjoyed each one of them equally. The bottom level is set up for ping pong, ball game watching, and has a kitchen. This was probably our favorite area of the home, and my son finally beat me at ping pong. :) We LOVED the kayaks. The local university has a garden very close to the property, I highly recommend going!

Great Property With Lovely Views!

My husband and I booked this property because it offered all of the amenities we were looking for, has great views of Lake Hamilton, is close in proximity to a variety of hiking trails, and is close to Hot Springs where we went several times for tasty food and good music. All-in-all this is a wonderful property and we had a great time doing all of the above activities and visiting the beautiful botanical gardens that are literally right across the lake from this property. The house offers lots of relaxing elements, particularly the beautiful deck overlooking the lake, but we also had access to stores, restaurants, hiking, music, etc., that were all just a short drive away. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit!

Relaxing in Hot Springs

The minute I saw this listing on VRBO, I knew it would be perfect for our family Vacay. The house had beautiful decor, the view was peaceful, the location was close/ not too close, the bunk room was spectacular and the game room was fun! Thanks for adding to making wonderful memories. MawShu

Best VRBO Experience Yet

We had an amazing stay. Owners were great to work with and very kind. The Lake House: I simply cannot say enough nice things about this home. It was extremely clean, great beds and linens. Everything you could possibly need in the kitchen, neighbors were quiet and non-intrusive. The house has lots of room and separate areas so that our early risers didn't disturb the ones who wanted to sleep. We are putting this on our yearly list of places to visit.

Fantastic Place!

We loved all the design details and thoughtfulness of the property! Great for families. One warning... it’s a little nerve racking to have very young children here who don’t understand water safety. The house is right on the water. Our littles wore their life jackets anytime they were outside.

It was ok

I loved the upstairs but the downstairs looked like a basement room that 4 beds were added to. The ceiling of the downstairs was all piping and wood planks. On our first night there my son woke up to a soaked bed because water was leaking from the pipes. I reached out to the owner and was told that they tried to fix the leak before but didn't know where it was coming from and was probably due to us running the shower. I was advised to move the beds around and change the sheets. I understand that there may not have been much that the owner could do about the leak at that time but I felt like the owner didn't care because they received their payment for the house. I was basically told to move the beds and I heard nothing else from the owner. I believe that more should've been said and done but maybe that is just my mind when thinking about things being done professionally. I've never had an issue with this site before when renting a home but due to the amount of money we paid and the issues that we had, we didn't get our moneys worth and will definitely be booking a hotel room next time.

Nice Lakefront Cabin

We went over Thanksgiving and unfortunately the weather was rainy and cold. That made the lack of an indoor dining table stand out. Fortunately we held Thanksgiving at my sister's house in Little Rock. But with seven of us and a lack of an sort of dining table at other meals it was doable but not great. However, the views from the living room window are great. The patio was great when the weather behaved. I would believe it would be an excellent warm weather place as the water was right out the back door. We enjoyed the downstairs living area and the ping pong table. The master bed was very comfortable. I assume the others were as well as I got no complaints.

Excellent Fall weekend

This property is a must stay! The house is darling - full stocked, tastefully decorated, and has beautiful views. Even in late October, the temperatures were warm enough for us to enjoy the covered back porch, kayaks, and fishing from the dock. Our kids kept asking us if we could stay forever! We will definitely rent this property in the future.

Perfect for girls’ trip!

Our group of 6 high school girlfriends from 3 different states were looking for a great place to meet up to celebrate our birthdays and many years of friendship. When we found this rental, we knew we found the perfect place. The location and the view can’t be beat! The house is gorgeous and the beds were very comfortable. We were beyond happy to spend most of our time on the porch and deck. We also enjoyed many hours floating in tubes by the dock and taking the kayaks out to explore the lake. We had a wonderful time and everyone agreed that we would love to stay here again.
