Great small cabin on a very quiet part of Lake Hamilton. You are about 30 minutes from Hotsprings, but it makes for a peaceful stay. There are multiple cabins on the property very close together if they were all booked it could get very crowded, but during our stay we were alone on the property until a couple other groups showed up on the weekend. The lake was great and the property had pale boards and kayaks available for use.

Comfortable and peaceful

My family of four had a great couple days staying in this cabin before the 2024 eclipse! Our two kids slept upstairs in the cute loft while my husband and I had a bedroom downstairs. Everything was clean and new. Location was beautiful and the atmosphere was quiet and peaceful despite the other cabins being fully occupied. We had a couple minor issues with not having lighter fluid or a lighter to start the charcoal grill and the stove randomly making a strange noise. However, the host was responsive and helpful in addressing these issues. We really enjoyed our stay and definitely recommend this property!

This was a nice little cabin! Nice view of the lake cove, stocked with necessities and good response time from owner on check in issues! We liked that it was out of town but only 20-25 minutes to most things

Cabin was clean and cozy. We had some confusion with finding the cabin. The host was very helpful and answered questions. My son was able to enjoy a little fishing while there. If you like to cook, the kitchen is smaller than what I expected. Over all a great place to relax. Definately would go back.

Great cabin on the lake. Stocked enough for the basics, and grilling. Great for a family get away to the woods on the lake. We really enjoyed our stay, nights and mornings calm and peaceful, and right next to hot springs to go out abd about during the days.

We stayed in cabin 3 and were impressed with the interior. It was very cute. There wasn't a lot of counter space in the bathroom so for 4 people it was a bit crowded. The kids loved the loft space and the paddleboard/kayaks. The water trampoline was broken so that was disappointing.

Arkansas Getaway

#1 Our Nest Property was completely outfitted with all of the amenities of a home. Fully equipped kitchen, with all of the items you might need. "Fully furnished"! They had workers quietly working on the grounds, improving the dock area ,planting flowers etc. Eric was an outstanding on site staff person, who was very friendly and helpful, during our stay.Enjoyed our stay!

There were kayaks for use which we enjoyed but the outer grounds could be kept up a little better. I realize we were there at end of season but it seems things are in a little disarray with the grounds.

Better than expected

We were expecting a simple little hotel room style place. The outside was very basic so I thought the ad had really good, almost deceiving pictures. It didn’t! The inside was adorable, the decor was birds with paintings and birdhouses throughout. The view off the deck was gorgeous, we enjoyed it while grilling on the grill that was provided (along with the needed tools). There was a dock just down the hill with lots of things to help enjoy the lake. It was wonderful to have a full kitchen and all the kitchen equipment to make meals. There was even a washer and dryer -WITH SOAP! Our only complaint would be the bedroom, because there was not an tv (to be fair, there were tvs in the main room and the loft) and the side table lamps were remote control which we finally figured out the last night. Overall, it was by far our favorite place that we have stayed around Hot Springs. We have family in the area and visit a couple times a year. We will definitely stay here again.
