Simply lake living at its best!

This is our first of three Lake Hamilton vacation properties. We additionally offer two three-bedroom lakefront homes (another main channel and one quiet cove) nearby. We have been hosting since 2006, during which time we have worked to make each year better than the last for not only our returning guests but our new guests as well.

This private home features 100 feet of main channel lake access with a separate boat and swim docks, with adjacent 780 square foot patio right on the lake make this your family's go-to spot for enjoying beautiful Lake Hamilton. Make sure you ask about our onsite pontoon. We also have two kayaks and a stand up paddle board for guests to enjoy on the beautiful Main Channel of Lake Hamilton!

Don't hesitate to ask for last minute or off-season discounts!

We want to make sure that our house is the perfect fit for you and your group.

Please contact Stan with any questions whatsoever, regarding minimum stays or rates.

Hot Springs is a vibrant community of 35,000 inhabitants with all types of restaurants, shopping and entertainment.

Here are some of our favorite activities when visiting Hot Springs National Park:

• Since our home is lakefront, you can enjoy Lake Hamilton just steps from the back door!

• Use our boat dock or swimming or dock! We are on the main channel, so there is always plenty of action!

• You can enjoy water skiing, tubing, wake boarding and all the fun that time on the lake in a boat brings!

• Many of our guests love to fish right off the boat dock.

• Try out the Belle of Hot Springs River Boat. The Belle offers cruises for either lunch or dinner. Treat yourself to beautiful Lake Hamilton and let someone else steer you around the lake!

• National Park Duck tours are another option for getting out on the water and exploring Lake Hamilton if you don't have your own boat. It's an amphibious vehicle which will take you on a tour of town before splashing into the water and cruising around the lake.

Garvan Woodland Gardens

• Garvan Gardens is a year-round, all-season attraction.

• No matter what time of the year you visit, the gardeners have made sure that the flowers and landscaping make the most of that season's local shrubs, flowers and trees.

• Bring your family and bring the camera for some spectacular photography backdrops!

• At Christmastime, enjoy the extensive light display!

• Hidden Gem: The Anthony Chapel.

What do Eureka Springs, Hot Springs, and Bella Vista have in common? Yes, two of them have “Springs” in their names, and they’re excellent towns to visit, of course, but there’s something else they have in common. All three are home to similar chapels. The facades of these chapels are all slightly different, and the interiors are not identical, but what they have in common is that they successfully unite the beauty of the outdoors with the details of man-made ingenuity and focus on giving visitors a peaceful nondenominational experience in a setting that exalts both the wider natural world and the inner spirituality of their visitors. Not to be missed!

Oaklawn Racing and Gaming

• Oaklawn Park is a world-class thoroughbred racing course which hosts live racing from January to May. Don't miss the Racing Festival of the South, with the Grade I Arkansas Derby (known for producing various Kentucky Derby winners). You can now also head to Oaklawn to watch and bet on the Kentucky Derby the first weekend in May!

• If you're not able to visit in the spring, don't fret as you can still wager in comfort and style at the Oaklawn Gaming Casino, which often features local live music.

Historic Downtown Hot Springs (P.S., take Blacksnake Road back into town from our home and you'll not only go through the National Park to get there, but you'll miss all the traffic!):

• By far the most popular attraction in Hot Springs is the National Park (which by the way was designated as a reserve by the federal government in 1832!! That's 40 years before Yellowstone!) Be sure to walk down world famous Bathhouse Row. The Fordyce bathhouse has been beautifully restored and serves as the Visitor Center for the National Park.

• Relax and take your mind off your worries with a bath from the natural hot mineral waters that seep to the ground and give the area its name. The Quapaw Baths as well as the Buckstaff Baths give you the opportunity to treat yourself and step back in time to a world of luxury and pampering.

• While downtown, you'll find a various shops, restaurants and art galleries when you want to take a break from all the sightseeing.

• When you're downtown you'll see the steam rising from the water as it bubbles up from the ground. Yes, it's really really hot!

Activities for the children:

• Just down from the National Park on Whittington Avenue you'll find the Arkansas Alligator Farm and Petting Zoo.

• Our lake home is only minutes away from Mid-America Science Museum. It's another hidden gem of Hot Springs and the kids will love it. There are lots of interactive displays which teach science at the same time!

• It wouldn't be a town for tourists with out some good old fashioned mini-golf!! Our home is minutes from Volcano Falls Mini Golf. Other themed options include Pirates Cove Adventure Golf and T-Rex Indoor Mini Golf (they've got you covered if you need to escape the hot summer weather).

• Magic Springs Theme and Water Park has been a mainstay in Hot Springs since 1977 (they did have a brief hiatus) but it's back and as popular as ever. Take the kids to all the amusement park rides, or enjoy the water park to beat the heat.

With genres ranging from classic rock, country, Christian to contemporary, park visitors are sure to find music to their liking at Magic Springs!
