Woodsy Lake Retreat

Nestled in a pine forest with 90 feet of frontage at the end of Birchwood Bay on beautiful lake Hamilton Arkansas This unique 4+ bedroom 3.5 bath is close to Oaklawn Park Horse racing and Casino, shopping, Garvin Woodland gardens, mineral baths and so much more. The home sleeps 10 friendly and has sit down meal seating for a dozen or more. For those of you who need an office, there is a great space overlooking the back deck and the lake. I prefer staying here than my own home.

Boat seen in pictures is available for rent to responsible adults. please ask for more details.

Worst vrbo ive rented

First of all i picked this place for the hot tub and it was outdated and only kinda worked the first day.The house had dirty sheets and only one roll of paper towels. No blinds on any windows and the upstairs rooms for not very secure for kids to sleep up there has a door with small lock and no blinds. No broom so we couldnā€™t even keep a clean floor while visiting.One tv in the whole house and internet was lagging a lot. No out door playground and the game room is a bunch ofold nasty chairs and a pingpong table. Also the game room has a bunch of junk all over for kinds to trip and like 3 closets have junk hazards in them. I layed good money for the house and it was a huge disappointment.

Good location. Well stocked kitchen

The location was good for visiting Hot Springs National Park, Oaklawn and Garvan Gardens. It worked well for group of 4 couples. Only negative comment would be that it needed a good deep cleaning, base boards, walls and cabinets needed washing badly

Christmas Getaway

Location was excellent. Short drive to all the places we wanted to see. Love that we were provided with fire log starters and plenty of firewood to burn along with other basics that you usually have to buy yourself (trash bags, toilet paper, soap). Loved the layout and spaciousness of the house Property could use some updating and deep cleaning. The hot tub was also not functioning properly which was very disappointing.since itā€™s one of the reasons we choose this location.

A Thankful Fall Stay

My family and I traveled from Texas to stay near my parents in Hot Springs during Thanksgiving week. The weather was very chilly and windy, and the lake was down, but otherwise it was absolutely gorgeous. The fall colors lingered and the leaves crunched as my kids played in the yard. The home is very well maintained and has a lot of character, with brick floors and exposed beams. Our kids absolutely loved the house, played hide and seek, ping pong, and hanging out on the comfy couches. The kitchen is reasonably outfitted, the most convenient item being a large air fryer which is a must with small kids! This is a large house, with a kitchenette upstairs (and its own separate entrance), which makes it an ideal place to stay for a family gathering. The location is perfectly situated on the lake, close to one of the main roads in Hot Springs, but far enough back that itā€™s supremely quiet. We dream one day of owning a lake house in Hot Springs just like it, but will settle for booking again!

We throughly enjoyed our stay! We did most of our visiting and relaxing on the back deck which supplied a gorgeous sunset. The kitchen was nice and had a wrap around bar with seating . It was fun sipping on a glass of wine watching the meal being prepared . Cleanliness and yard maintenance could use a little attention but we still give it a 5 ā­ļø

Beautiful low maintenance property!

Great house - beautiful property with a nice view, lots of room inside with a big patio & hot tub overlooking the water, and James was a great host. Was ideal for our annual guys trip, but would also be ideal for couples with kids. Unlike some places I've stayed where you pay a cleaning fee but still have to follow 50+ steps before you check out, everything was very simple here; clean up after yourself and take out the trash.

Never wanted to leave

The house is beautiful. Owner/James explained building it himself. The brick flooring, dark wood floors, gorgeous windows, massive level deck- we want this house. Boating w raft was the kids favorite. Close to grocery store & WalMart. Walked around Hot Springs Natl park & ate at Bubalooā€™s- super cheap. Went up tower & drank mineral spring water. Here for 5 days and spent most of our time at the house because it was lovely, so much space for 6 of us. Games at table over looking water. Want to come someday! Super clean & well taken care of. Thank you James!!!

Fantastic Lake Vacation

We had a great vacation staying at "Woodsy Lake Retreat" over Memorial Day weekend. We had searched for a vacation rental that would let all three of our teenage/adult kids (and one spouse!) to have their own bedrooms, and this definitely fit the bill. There was plenty of room to spread out, and also lots of shared space to spend time together. The location was fantastic, right on a cove of Lake Hamilton. We rented the boat on property, and it was so fun to walk right outside the back door onto the boat and hit the lake for tubing and swimming. (We bought the tube at Kahuna Mart, the marina that Jim recommended.) We even took the boat to dinner at Fisherman's Wharf. (YUM!) If you stay here, I highly recommend renting the boat also! We also loved that the house was just a short drive to Hot Springs National Park, where we enjoyed shopping, hiking and soaking in the thermal pools at Quapaw Bathhouse. If you go to the historic Hot Springs downtown, be sure to eat at the amazing German restaurant, Steinhaus Keller. The property owner Jim was very responsive during booking and when checking in. He came over to give us the boat key and make sure we had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again!
