This is our third year to stay in this house. It is perfect in size for us and having the lake literally at the back door is exactly what we love. The owners are super friendly and the house is clean and well-maintained. We love our time here and would definitely recommend!

Quick weekend away with friends. Property was easy to find, good location, comfortable, and clean. The weather was cold and wet, but I’m sure in the summer it’s an even better place to stay.

Fantastic lake view
We had a wonderful stay at this cottage on Lake Hamilton. The view was fantastic, as if you were floating right on the lake since it was right next to the shoreline. The front porch was a great place to hang out, but even the views from inside the house were of water. We will defintely return!

Another great time
Went to see the lights at Garvin Gardens, which is only about 15 minutes away. Absolutely beautiful spot right on the lake. In fact, your back porch steps go almost into the lake. It’s gonna be great in the summertime with all kind of summer sports for kids.

Enjoyed our stay. Loved being so close to the water and watching the boats go by. Only a small issue .... sugar ants (at least that is what I know them as). House needs to be treated. We would stay there again.

Lake Hamilton cabin
We think it would have been fair for host to forewarn about amount (high) of boat/jet ski traffic which took away from thoughts of a lake side stay. The driveway leading from street down to cabin needs repairs esp if you have a stardard size or small car. It's basically a rain wash going into the lake. Some upgades should be acomplished - repair LR fan string broken, clear rqmt for other pet owners to control their animal (dogs) in their area, treat for ants in cabin primarily in kitchen, general appearance of external areas under deck and carport needed cleaning, BBQ was unclean from previous users. The guest bedroom dresser needs to be replaced ore repaired 2 of 4 drawers basically broken. More tourist info needed in host book on local activites lake and away from lake esp. any swimming areas if guest didn't have a boat. Local boat rental rates are ridiculous. Only being constructive on comments. Would not return to this location.

Excellent location if you plan to boat!
Overall, we had an excellent time and this was a great choice for the weekend. The location on Lake Hamilton was fantastic, and we rented a boat from Kahuna Bay and tubed all day in the channel in front of the house. We were able to avoid the main lake traffic and it was excellent. The kids were able to get off the boat to use the bathroom at the house while we played. The only thing that caused us a bit of an issue was that the rental stated it slept 6 people, but when we opened the pull out couch, the mattress was pretty old and dirty (stained and had dirt and hair all over it), and there was a fitted sheet on the mattress that had been used and had stains on it and a brown recluse spider. I was not able to put my 5th person (my son) on that bed because of that, and we ended up having to put him in the King bed with my daughter and I. I would definitely either get a new pullout or I would rent this as a 4 person sleeper--as it would not sleep 6 comfortably. I also cooked a large meal for everyone Saturday night and we didn't really have the right kind of baking dishes in the cabinet for roasting potatoes or making brownies. I ended up needing to buy foil pans. I would NOT let these things prevent 4/5 people from staying here. It was a great stay overall!!

House is right on the lake!
My husband and I enjoyed the house and lake overall. We enjoyed coffee on the front porch and watching the sunrise plus the geese floating along - take some mosquito spray. Our fur babies enjoyed hanging out on the front porch with us as well. My husband’s main complaints were the high boat traffic which made it very difficult to fish, the driveway was very steep and a little rough going down and back up, the deadbolt needed some oil to unlock and lock the door, so we made a trip to the store to find WD40. There was a huge lab without a collar that ran up the porch several times - thank goodness he was a gentle giant because our fur babies are old and small. Overall, we enjoyed the house and the lake view from the porch and windows, plus it was pet friendly.

Great House on the Water!
We loved this house that is right on the water. Just step off the porch and in the water. This is our second year staying here and it is perfect for our little getaway weekend on the lake. The water access is perfect. The house is clean and everything worked as expected. My only wish is that the house was bigger so we could bring more friends!

When they say "on" the Lake, they really mean it! Walk out on the front porch, and you are literally steps from the edge of Lake Hamilton! Hosts are responsive, home is clean and comfortable, and the view is beautiful. Quiet and relaxing on the property, yet close enough to everything in Hot Springs to keep things interesting. We will DEFINITELY stay here again when in the area!
