This home ended up being the most perfect fit for our large group of nine for the week of Thanksgiving- two families, 4 teens, and 1 mother-in-law. First of all, THAT VIEW out the windows onto the lake!! I couldn't wait to wake up each morning and open the blinds. Gorgeous! Upon arrival, we were wowed by the thoughtful, generous welcome basket and craft beers which we enjoyed during our stay. The home itself is so beautiful with a great layout. The butler's pantry and the regular pantry provided great storage space. We have stayed at lots of homes, and this one by far was the most well-stocked...spices, utensils, plates, drinking glasses, pots, pans, koozies, plastic ware for leftovers, and more. Our large group loves to cook instead of eating out, so this was huge for us. We enjoyed the cool evenings sitting by the fire outside and loved watching all the football games on the large TV in the living area. The teens spent hours in the yard throwing the football, and the ladies enjoyed walks in the neighborhood. The bunkroom was perfect for the teens. Beds were comfy with lots of layers to keep us warm. We don't have one bad thing to say about our time there. We talked about trying to stay in the summer time to take advantage of the warm weather and lake activities.All were thoroughly impressed with every single thing. Such a lovely place. Thank you so much for your sharing your home!

Had an amazing trip. Came up for fall break with family and brought my dad’s boat. Loved Lake Hamilton. The cabin was amazing- kitchen well equipped, beds comfortable, love the outdoor patio and bar area. Pictures don’t do it justice.

The house, yard, beds, lake, and on and on. This house is amazing and was a perfect place for a family get tougher! I would definitely book again!

My fantasy football league stayed here for 3 days and had such a blast in the water, playing cornhole, tubing, and skiing. The master bedroom was fantastic because one morning at 5 am we had a huge thunderstorm that I was able to enjoy watching through the large windows facing the water.

This house was wonderful! It is a beautiful house and is very clean. It was very well supplied with cookware, linens, toilet paper, etc. water was easily accessible Would definitely come here again!

Our stay was perfect! Great views from all bedrooms. House was well equipped and CLEAN! We had family reunion of 14. Room for pontoon boat and jet ski. We will definitely stay again. jan hestet

From the minute we walked into this home we felt like we were home. If you think the pictures look great, wait until you see it in person. Our family of 5 with our kids being ages 21-25 and two of their friends also stayed here. There was plenty of room for everyone and I loved how the dining room table was big enough for us to eat meals and play games. The deck was cozy to drink morning coffee and cocktails at night. The bar by the dock was very useful so we didn’t have to walk back and forth to the house. There was even a cooler provided so we could take it on the boat we rented. I could go on and on how great this property is. Samaria was great communicating with us and checking in to see if we needed anything. Which we didn’t because the house already provided everything we could possibly need. The welcome basket she left for us was so thoughtful and much appreciated. Great stay and will definitely be back!!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at a stunning lakefront property with my family, and I cannot emphasize enough how incredible our experience was. From the moment we arrived, we were enchanted by the breathtaking views and warm hospitality of the place. The house itself was an absolute gem. Spacious, well-maintained, and beautifully decorated, it offered a perfect blend of comfort and luxury. Our family had ample space to spread out and relax, thanks to the well-designed layout of the property. The fully equipped kitchen was a dream for preparing family meals, and we loved dining together while enjoying the picturesque scenery just beyond our plates. The cozy living area was perfect for bonding over board games and sharing laughter, and Netflix.. 😊But the real highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the outdoor space. The property had direct access to the lake, and we made the most of it! We spent countless hours swimming & tubing. The kids were absolutely thrilled! The outside Bar was a great spot to watch the kids swim while enjoying an adult beverage. Another aspect that stood out was the exceptional service from the property's management. They were attentive, responsive, and the welcome basket was so thoughtful and personalized for our family! What a Treat! In conclusion, our stay at this lakefront property was a dream come true. It ticked all the boxes for a perfect family getaway. We will surely be back for more cherished moments in the future!

We stayed at this property right on the water for a family reunion weekend. The kids had a great time in the bunk room and swimming right off the dock with swim ladder. The outdoor areas are phenomenal-deck, fire pit and outdoor dining. The backyard was level and landscaped beautifully. Interior was attractive and upscale.

This was our first family vacation to include multiple families. It’s was absolutely amazing! The home believe it or not was even more beautiful in person than the pictures! Everything was perfect and the thoughtful touches that were found throughout the home wonderful! I cannot recommend this property enough.

This lake home was ideal for our family vacation. It's location on the lake and proximity to amenities was perfect. The home was clean and had everything we needed for our large family. We loved how the living room and the deck had such great views. The fire pit and welcome basket were extra nice. We will be back to stay again in the future. Thanks for everything.

Property was very nice and rustic but quality. Very much enjoyed our stay.

Samaria is a splendid hostess who is solicitous about guests’ comfort and needs. Attention to detail is evident in this comfy, spacious, lake house. While too chilly yet for water sports, fishing, bird watching, and simply relaxing on the deck were enjoyed by all. In addition to HSNPin central Hot Springs, hiking and visits to the science museum and the botanical gardens are recommended activities.

Very relaxing and beautiful home...well equipped

We stay at VRBOs for all of our family and friends vacations and I would rank this home in my top 5 for sure. When you are traveling to the house the area is unimpressive, but when you walk into the house for the first time and see the views of Lake Hamilton from the main floor you will be completely wowed!! A similar wow factor when you see the view from the master bedroom! The home is beautifully decorated and very clean. Everyone agreed that all of the beds were VERY comfortable! The bar down at the dock is super cool and the honor bar system for drinks and ice cream down there is such a neat idea! Spent every morning on the upper patio enjoying the fresh air and the great views, watching the boats go by. Enjoyed our time here!

Great place to stay, right on the water, perfect views from every room. From the minute we walked in the door, everything exceeded our expectations. From the gift basket the Host left, to the kitchen supplies, beds were comfy, the sounds system was great, the Tito's Tiki Bar. The patio was our main hang out area & the views were awesome. The Host checked in on us frequently & provided our group of 8 adults the perfect long weekend getaway. Would recommend staying here to anyone who asks!

Wonderful location just steps from river. Good area for swimming and super cute tiki bar near dock. Spacious home with plenty of room for our family of 8 that ranged from 3 years to 87 years. Home is very clean and decorated very well.

The view is amazing. The area to swim is perfect for lounging and playing water games. Everything you need for the kitchen is here! The beds are so comfortable too. Just wait until you see the master bedroom and bath!!! Would go here every summer if we could!!!

6 adults and 4 kids…perfect getaway. Such a beautiful cabin. Immaculate and well stocked. The owner was the perfect host. Great communication. Looking forward to my next stay at Macs Cabin!!

We had the best time at this property for the 4th of July weekend! It was very clean, the location was great and the views were amazing. The bunk room was perfect for the kids in our group. We especially loved the outdoor space and the ability to bring our boat there. This was by far one of the best houses we’ve rented on Lake Hamilton.

Very disappointed with area driving into property but once we opened the door of the house we were very satisfied. Beautiful property.

Enjoyed this place so much. We had 6 adults and 5 kids. Everyone had a blast fishing, swimming, playing corn hole, hiking, shopping, etc. Beds were comfy and we loved the sound system too. Hoping to make this an annual trip!❤️

If you are looking for a place in hot springs, look no further. This is the best stocked house I’ve ever stayed in. We VRBO a lot and this house was the best one we’ve stayed at so far. We hung out most nights on the lawn while the kids played in the water. It was a little slice of perfection that we didn’t want to leave. As a matter of fact, after day 2, we didn’t leave because we couldn’t get enough of this house and all it had to offer. We will be back!

Mac’s Bear Lodge is by far the best VRBO I have ever visited! The lake views accompanied by the sounds of nature made for a relaxing spring getaway with my work family. The lodge has a homey feel with enough room for a large group to bond over games at the dining table or outside around the fire pit. The attention to detail that Samaria has done with her home is amazing. From the decor, to the area recommendations of things for her guests to do/see she did not miss anything. My group highly recommends this beautiful vacation home and we will definitely be back! Thank you!

This is definitely the most well thought out rental we have ever stayed in. Sam had everything we could have possibly needed. The house is absolutely adorable and actually feels like the home. Very cozy. The fire pit was a huge hit and the views are amazing. Oh, and the beds are to die for! We had 5 adults and 4 kids under six. Everyone had a great time. Thanks so much for a great vacation.

The house is beautiful with amazing views. The beds were extremely comfortable. I recommend anyone to visit & I would definitely stay here again. The host was extremely nice and accessible at all times. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Great time, very relaxing!

This was by far the best VRBO home I’ve stayed in. Clean, a great kitchen with everything a great chef would require. Large bedrooms, plenty of bathrooms and a deck with a fantastic view with a fire pit. And did I mention the bar out back? Samaria is a great host and stays in contact with you through rental agreement until you check out. If I ever return to the Hot Springs area this is a home I will certainly try to rent again. 5 Stars!

Mac's Bear Lodge was everything we hoped it would be. The host had thought of everything. The home has all of the little extras that you want on a vacation and the property is in wonderful condition. We will keep it on our list of places to return to.

It was one of my bed vacation

The house is just as beautiful as the pictures. We loved the location, being able to jump right into the water off of the backyard. We all enjoyed the deck with the fire pit, being able to play our music over the outdoor speakers and the view in the evenings. The house was perfect for our family of three and our friends which are a family of five. All the kids ages 7 to 15 loved everything about the house. We stayed 6 nights and would have loved to stay longer. Samaria was a gracious host and kept in contact with us throughout our stay and even left us a very nice welcome basket on arrival. We definitely plan on going back again!

Met our needs, all enjoyed the balcony space, well appointed dock bar and ice cream treats and ability to park our own boat. Recommend.
