This is our 3rd year at Lake Hamilton and the house did not disappoint. I would actually say it keeps getting better. The owners are attentive to the maintenance of the home and it’s easy for a family to enjoy. It’s convenient to fishing and Hot Springs National Park.

This is a great location. Not far out of town. It was quiet and we never ran out of things to do. We will definitely be visiting again.

This house was so beautiful and the kids loved it as well!! Had a fun atmosphere for kids but also a nice relaxing atmosphere for adults. We loved being so close to the water where the kids could fish and kayak. Definitely a great place to relax and hang out with family. Highly recommend!

Communication with Doug and Lita was seamless and they were very responsive. Check in and out of the property was easy. The location of the property is central to everything such as putt putt golf, solid restaurants like 501 Prime and Fisherman’s Wharf, and also world class Striper fishing. The house itself has very amenity you need to have a comfortable stay and they were kind enough to provide enough toilet paper, trash bags, and paper towels to last for all 4 of our nights. If you step out the back door to the dock, you can sit and fish for perch, but not much else. My son and I took advantage of the kayaks and they worked great and had no issues. If I had to mention one negative, the internet in the house is a little finicky but we made it work. Would stay here again.

This is a very clean place setup for a family. It is 15 minutes away from the park and dam. 20 minutes from the off-road park and 10 minutes from much more. Fishing was fun from kayaks and dock. Quiet dead end road.
5.0
It really was perfect. The house was clean, comfortable, and included so many fun options to do. The hosts were generous and responsive. We saw wildlife, caught fish, kayaked and canoed. The water was clear and really cold but that didn't stop some of us from jumping in! We experienced the total Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024 right in the back yard.
5.0
We had an absolutely fantastic time at this place and would 100% recommend it to anyone else. We were most impressed with how clean the place was kept and how the house reflected exactly what we saw in the pictures. There were so many fun things to do at the house and in the area within a short 15 minute drive. My daughter even caught a huge chain pickerel right off the dock! By far the nicest house we’ve stayed at for a vacation rental. The owner was very responsive to any needs or questions we had as well.

All 5's from me! My wife and I spent 3 days at this beautiful house. Exactly as advertised and even better. Clean, modern with all the amenities required for a stay at a lake house. Would definitely go back here again and i can't think of one thing to recommend..
Thanks Doug and Lita.

we stayed the week with our 6 kids and had a great time. i was able to cook some and let the littles get naps while the others all enjoyed fishing. we also enjoyed the fire a couple cooler nights we were there! the house is beautiful but the view was even better! we even got to watch an eagle catch it’s breakfast one morning. there’s plenty of space for our large family and they even have games and toys for the kids to enjoy! we had a great time!

Property was just as described! Clean, updated and had everything that we needed. Great location on the river. Water was very clear and we saw lots of perch and bass. Really enjoyed our time on the dock in the evenings. Used the kayaks as well. The king bed was very comfortable. About 20 minutes from Hot Springs, which had lots of restaurant options. Would definitely recommend this house! There was just two of us staying, but it would be great for families too.

The property was exactly as presented in the description in all respects and we throughly enjoyed our week from start to finish. It was very very clean and inviting and well prepared for our stay. The "welcome" snacks were a really nice and thoughtful touch as well. Doug and Lita were excellent in their communications and assistance throughout the process. We would love to stay again!

Second time to this beautiful property on Lake Ouachita. Love the layout, decor, location and pier. Open plan with 3 baths, lots of room for teens or multiple adults. Kayaking and fishing was great. Watched eagles, rented pontoon overnight so we could explore early morning in the hazy mist! More memories made! Hope to be back next year. Thank you so much for great friendly communication and sharing this wonderful place.

The best home for a girls trip to celebrate my sisters wedding! The house was stunning and perfect for cute photos and the layout let our group relax and feel comfortable. Everything was very clean, easy check in/out, and wonderful communication from the owners. The dock and kayaks available at the house made our lake day so convenient, the part of water it’s on had boat traffic but nothing crazy enough to keep us from getting in and exploring the beautiful area. This experience was very special, thank you.
5.0
This house was so relaxing and beautiful. There is a space for everyone. If you wanted to play games the area up stairs is percect. If you just want to relax and stare out at the lake, theres multiple places to do so. We loved looking at the fog roll in on the water and loved star gazing on the dock at night! The kayaks were perfect! Everyone enjoyed using them. The lake water was super cold so only took a quick dip! We will be back!
5.0
This home is amazing and the host even better. The area of Hotsprings provides so many opportunities to hike, explore, fish, and enjoy the outdoors. The kids enjoyed the water, kayaks, and fishing.

We loved it!!! The house is beautiful and relaxing.
If you bring a boat or a lot of vehicles the parking will be very tight just keep that in mind.

This was by far our favorite VRBO so far. The house and location were just as described, and the hosts’ hospitality was unrivaled. Everything was very clean. The beds and showers were amazing. We had all the tools we could imagine needing in the kitchen. We really enjoyed watching the birds and otters in the mornings and kayaking in the evenings. The guys went fly fishing nearby while we ladies shopped and went to the bath house. If you need a ride, Spa City Taxi is quick and affordable. Also, don’t miss eating at Luna Bella!

I’m writing this review in the car as we drive home from spring break, and everyone is so sad it’s over. “Can we please stay one more day,” is a question we heard over and again yesterday as we packed up.
The property is clean and the open floor plan made it easy to prepare meals while also staying in the loop with the rest of the family. The beds and even the sleeper couch were all so comfy! Don’t get me started on the amazing shower and jetted tub in the master! The upstairs area was a dream come true for our big kids who loved having that space to themselves. With three couches, its own bathroom, the fully-stocked game closet, and the gorgeous view from the wall-to-wall windows, my kids would have never come downstairs if we didn’t make them.
We spent several days kayaking, morning and night, and my husband loved fishing from the dock. A fishing tip: cast out some crappie rigs at night and just leave the line. When you come back, you’ll have one, maybe two catfish on the line every time!
Our favorite destinations were downtown Hot Springs- buy a souvenirs glass bottle and fill it up with the thermal water, bathhouse row, yummy restaurants, and some hiking in the trails and on the promenade.
We loved and highly recommend renting a boat for half the day on the lake.
Our favorite hiking was at Petit Jean, which is a bit of a drive, but well worth it.
We planned this trip on a whim and had never been to Arkansas before, and we are so grateful we did!

We've stayed at this property several times over the years and it is always spectacular! It is a great house, with a great view, and wonderful hosts who have thoughtfully appointed it with most any things you might need or want to make your stay more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

The property was beautiful!! The view was spectacular! We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. The beds were so comfy. The kitchen was stocked with everything you would need. Even though it was pretty cold outside, we couldn't help but hop in the kayaks and take a little paddle down the river. It was everything we could've asked for in a spring break getaway.

Excellent house and incredible river view.

Since we haven't been anywhere since before the pandemic, we chose this place as a getaway. The serenity was wonderful. The profile pictures don't do this place justice. The house was clean, modern, and well stocked with amenities. Loved the nautical theme as well. We'll be back to take advantage of the water activities. Highly recommended stay.
5.0
This property was everything they described and more. The views from inside the house were just as spectacular as the views from outside. The setting was quiet and peaceful. The house has everything you need for cooking and plenty of books and games to keep everyone busy. The house is just a fun house with lots of attention to detail and unique decor. We liked it so much we hope to make it an annual getaway for two senior couples. Doug and Lita, thanks for sharing your beautiful home.
