ON LAKE HAMILTON! Amazing location close to everything! Boats welcome! Firepit! Kayaks! 10 minutes to downtown! Comfortably sleeps 8. 3 KING beds, one in each bedroom, while kids/friends may enjoy the 2 futon sleepers & additional fold out twin in the ottoman in the sunroom/funroom! Sunroom can sleep 3-4 smaller people! Firepit, Charcoal Grill, Pacman Arcade game, cornhole & board games! Fun! We have two separate living areas so everyone has room to spread out in our designer mid century modern (mcm) vibe home.
You won't find a more convenient location in the area. We're less than 2 miles from I-70 and only 3 miles to Oaklawn Racing and Gaming! Starbucks, Walmart, Kroger and lots and lots of shops and restaurants are all within 5 minutes of the house.
Have a boat? You can can launch it just around the corner at Hot Springs Marina - only 1/2 mile away! Dock tie-up in season: March - October. Plenty of parking for a trailer in our circle driveway. Don't have a boat? Pontoon rentals are also available at the marina. Or enjoy our two kayaks - free for our guests to use during your stay along with water toys! *Winter pool is November to March with lower water levels & no boat docking at rear of home during winter pool. *In summer pool season, Average sized boats (pontoon/bass/fish & ski) may tie up to the walkout/tie up dock-(not the slip) boat questions? Just ask us! (No boat included, we do have kayaks available)
Kids will LOVE our sunroom/family room with two enormous "Big Joe" bean bags and vintage board games & Pacman Arcade too! The grown ups will love the covered back deck with patio seating, a swing for 2, large grill and awesome views of the water. Relax in the Adirondack chairs around the firepit & make your own s'mores! Perfect spots for that morning cup of coffee or evening glass of wine under the stars.
note: one of the futons is in the master bedroom, the other 2 futons (each sleep one) plus the twin foldout bed are all in the sunroom
We LOVE our mid century modern designer lakefront vacation home and we know you will too. Book today and make your own memories at Retro Ranch on Lake Hamilton!

Great place to stay for our friend group! The beds were super comfy and we loved watching the turtles and birds in the water. The place had everything we needed and more.
We loved everything about this property! The pictures don’t do it justice! Super close to town, but also tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. We can’t wait to be return guests!!
The house was exactly as listed and was the perfect getaway for our family Spring Break! My parents arrived first and sent me a text saying "the house is awesome" followed a little later by "these are my people, there is a frosted glass in the freezer!" The house was clean and well stocked. We would stay here again!
We stayed at the retro ranch for a few days over spring break. It is so cute and very clean! The outdoor area is especially nice and my kids loved the bonus room with Pac-Man and big bean bag chairs. It is easy to get anywhere in Hot Springs, and we had a great little trip! Thanks!
We had a great time at the Retro Ranch. The space was wonderful and had plenty of room for the family. The outside area had great views and plenty of seating.
We had a great time on our short trip to Hot Springs. The house was clean and comfortable. Sitting out back was great. We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves.
Retro Ranch is a fun place to stay - outdoor space and equipment, geese flying in and landing on the lake, games including PacMan, plenty of room, well-stocked, convenient location, comfortable beds - we will be back.
The house was so nicely decorated. Retro themed throughout. We loved the record player with all the throwback albums. Great location. Everything was perfect.
it was very well stocked and very clean and easy to find. close to grocery stores and restaurants. Garvan Gardens was beautiful and well worth the admission price.
We loved this place! Great location, super clean, and loved the retro vibe! Our kids loved the use of the kayaks. The only suggestion is to put a bunk bed in the recreation area. It would provide more comfortable sleeping for extra kids.
House was very cute, clean with plenty of space to hang out. Just wish it hadn’t been so hot so that we could have used the backyard more! Love the retro look! Very well equipped with everything and then some. Loved the coffee bar! Highly recommend!
Retro Ranch is well-equipped for six guests. It has a lovely mid-century vibe. We enjoyed the outdoor and indoor spaces.
We had our own pontoon boat which we slipped at the nearby Hot Springs Marina, but a smaller boat could be docked at the residence.
Overall, this is a great place for a weekend getaway. Downtown Hot Springs and numerous amenities are nearby.
