About this house rental

Drive down a canopy of crepe myrtle trees to the quintessential lake cabin. Upon entering the great room, you'll immediately notice the beamed ceilings and stacked stone fireplace that create a warm, yet open environment. A sunken den with half-timbers overlooks the lake. 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms complete the private areas. Don't miss the large deck, covered boat dock, sport court and grilling area.

The main cabin of the house was built in the early 1900’s. The cabin was originally a one room hunting cabin with a fireplace and a wood burning stove. The cabin pre-dated the lake and sat about a mile away from the Ouachita River on a ridge above Stokes Creek. When the Carpenter Dam was finished in 1931 forming Lake Hamilton, the little hunting cabin, was fortunately located well above the water line, thus becoming a lakefront property. In 1952, the property owner built a three story structure incorporating the original cabin and adding, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, a small living room, and a basement.

The property was owned by U.S. Senator and former Arkansas Governor David Pryor and wife, Barbara for approximately 30 years before we purchased the property in 2012. Rumor has it Al Capone fancied the cabin for poker games along with his cronies. If only the walls could talk!

The original cabin warmly greets you as you enter the front door, and the woodsy aroma of a 120 year history of peaceful memories and healing experiences takes you to a special place that instantly feels like home.

We provide two stand-up paddle boards, canoe, kayak, sport court for badminton or corn hole and giant Jenga.

From the minute we walked in we felt so at home like we were staying in our own family cabin. Wendy and Greg are the greatest hosts and the cabin was more than stocked and had everything we could need. The lake was inviting we spent a lot of time in it If you are looking for the amazing cabin I highly recommend it we can’t wait to come back

Fun cabin, very unique. Plus: well stocked with amenities and the dock was great! Cons: the whole cabin was musty and smelled of mildew; the floors, sheets and kitchen surfaces were clean but the whole house needs a deep cleaning-the rafters, all the decor, needs cleaning. The bathrooms have gaps without caulk where Im sure water sits and has become black mold--i love the old tile but it needs to be caulked and probably re-grouted, and there's visible black mold on the wall inside the downstairs shower. I appreciate that they didn't use scented detergents on the towels and bedding, but i can tell some of the doors have lead paint on them, so consider that if you have small kids. For the price paid for cleaning and all the fees, and considering the mold and must, I'd not stay there again at that price.

This property is very well stocked and in a great area! We loved the option to rent the boat and swim right off the dock! Good size for us- 3 kids ages 8, 11 and 12.

What a great cottege style house with an abundance of charm and history in it. Right on the water and quick access to Hot Springs and all the things to do. Owners were very responsive and set up well for guests with plenty snacks, towels, cooking needs, etc. Highly recommend the little Italian place close by, Mam’s Little Italy. We ate here a few times since dinner time usually comes around baby bed time so something close was necessary and what a treat. Great food!!! Highly recommend this place for a family or just a charming getaway! 5 Stars!!!

We absolutely loved our stay at The Lakehouse as we celebrated our 2nd Wedding Anniversary and rang in the New Year 2023! The Lakehouse is perfectly equipped and provided the romantic get away we hoped for. We even canceled our restaurant reservations and opted to grill and enjoy dinner on the deck while taking in the scenery and lake life. We have stayed at several VRBOs and this home provided us more than we have ever experienced or could ask for! The host was wonderful and easy to communicate with! We thank you for providing us a wonderful place to enjoy and make memories!!
