Lovely Property on Lake Hamilton

This was a neat little house in a lovely neighborhood. We were in town for a wedding and with the races causing the hotels to charge outrageous nightly amounts, this was the perfect place for my wife and I and my father. We'd stay here again in a heart beat.

Great Getaway

Ever wish you knew someone with a small house near downtown Hot Springs but also on the water? This is the place. Comfortable accommodations in a neighborhood setting with TV’s in every bedroom, a nice family room, a deck, a boat dock, and an updated kitchen. This is all you need to enjoy your stay!

Amazing Time

I would not mind coming back and booking this house again and again. I loved the kitchen and the feel of the home was perfect for a family get away. The marina was not far my husband drove from the marina to the dock in the backyard and we were out on the lake! The neighborhood is quit and peaceful but close to so many restaurants and stores if needed.

Great family getaway

This was a beautiful and great location to stay. The water is right down hill from your door. The dock is great to hangout on and enjoy watching your family swim. Your minutes from downtown and great restaurants. The best part is you can retreat away back into the neighborhood that this house is located and just enjoy the quite too. Great place!
