My husband & I spent 2 nights @ the lakeside cottage. I loved being right at the water’s edge. It is a nice quiet cove. Occasionally a boat would go past & the sound of the waves lapping against the stone sea wall was so relaxing.
Except for sleeping, my husband & I stayed in the screened in TV room. It was even cool enough one night that we were able to have a fire in the fireplace.
Although you feel far away from town when you are at the cottage, it is easy to go to town for supplies &/or to eat out.
We like sleeping in a dark cold bedroom. There is a wall unit in the bedroom so we were easily able to control the temperature. The bed was so comfortable & there were black out curtains on the window.
The only negative is that we should have stayed longer. We both agreed that we will come back again & we will stay @ least 3 nights next time.

Although hot springs was the attraction our favorite parts of our trip was coming back to the lake cottage and sitting on the deck lakeside wrapped in a blanket enjoying the view and Waking up and and having coffee in the morning on the deck, doing devos and reading and watching the sunrise The accommodations were just as expected. Highly recommend. It was perfect for 2 people.

All of the things I have listed below I took pictures of. I can send them to you if you like. I’m not trying to be mean or disrespectful however so for your place has been our least desired place we have visited. The setup is nice but it really needs the things I mentioned to be fixed in my opinion. Some of the things can hurt someone seriously.
1. All wooden railing had some decayed rotten wood.
2. Nails were exposed causing possible hand puncture.
3. The railing for the stairs leading to the water was very loose. I almost fell when I grabbed it to go down the stairs
4. The rod for the curtain was bent and barely holding the curtain
5. The closet railing wood is split with exposed screws
6. Wicker furniture on the deck terribly needs replacing and too low to the ground on the deck.
7. The stairs leading down to the house the lights did not work. We had to use our lights from our phones to navigate those stairs at night.
8. The deck was full of spiderwebs and the foliage was dead. (The plants hanging from the deck over the water)
The best space in the cottage was the bonus room and the bathroom in the main part. I could tell the tile in the main house is fairly new. It was nice.

Lovely, cozy cabin on Lake Hamilton. I would recommend, however, only staying here as a couple, as the pullout sleeper sofa could double as a torture device. Overall though, a wonderful experience!

This was a nice property for a couple get away stay. It was just the 2 of us, which is perfect for this property. Deck off house was perfect for fishing, and the screened in patio was amazing! There are 50 stairs going down to the cottage, so if you have issues with stairs, would not recommend. It was a little bit of a challenge for unloading/loading due to this, but once down, the property is flat. There is a floating dock adjacent to the property, but if there are guests at the main house, the dock access is theirs, not the cottage. The cottage itself is a little older, but there are some very nice upgrades.

Our 8th summer at the cottage! It’s our home away from home! Couldn’t imagine staying anywhere else when we come to Hot Springs and I hope we never have too! ❤️

Bucolic, tranquil spot overlooking the lake but just a 20 minute drive to downtown Hot Springs. Loved sitting out on the ample sized deck for morning coffee and beautiful sunsets.
Beautifully illuminated (at night) stairs lead down to the entry so not for anyone with mobility issues. Just what we were looking for. Owner, property manager (and even the neighbor!) were very available and helpful.

My husband and I enjoyed our time here. The driving instructions were very helpful to get to the house, but there are two other houses right next to the property so it would have been helpful to have clearer instructions on where to go after parking. For the most part, the house was clean, but the baking sheets provided at the house were almost unusable. They had a lot of grime on them and should be replaced, or you should bring your own if you plan to cook.

Awesome little spot on the lake. We loved the screen porch and how quiet the area was. The next door neighbor was super friendly and gave us a few must do things. We went as they were raising the water levels so our dog had a small beach area to run and play and she absolutely loved it.

Enjoyable stay. Bedrooms are spacious beds are fairly comfortable. There a few minor issues, the gas to BBQ and outdoor fireplace is very weak, can’t get BBQ over 400 degrees. Kitchen sink and dishwasher has low water temp so the dishwasher does not clean the dishes well. We had a minor roof leak which the owner remedied that night. Overall the owners were easy to get ahold of and prompt to remedy issues. House is old with original windows and thin walls.
We got the pool up to 85 degrees after a day and the hot tub heated up fast.
Thank you to the owners for a nice stay.

Just what we needed for a weekend away. We had to leave early due to the weather in Illinois. Hope to return and enjoy lake when warmer.

We needed a nice quiet retreat, and this one hit the spot! We so enjoyed relaxing on the sofa and looking out at the calm lake. At times the lake was like a mirror and you could see the reflections so clear! We really enjoyed the coziness.

A lot of issues. Commode had black crude underneath lip of inside. Pulled down sheets there was hair and looked like a leaf on the pillows. Drywall pulling apart from wall right by bed could see outside bricks. Bedroom tv did not work and really couldn’t operate den tv. Couch smelled like a wet dog which is where my husband ended up trying to sleep. We left a night early. The owner has already been very gracious in fixing the issues. Property needs to be marked not for elderly people due to 54 steps and televisions for the younger folks.

Loved the quiet, the colors reflecting in the lake and the geese. A brief but awesome visit from a Blue Heron. The outdoor living is set up beautifully, the screened porch is nicely done. The stairs, all 50 of them, were a bit of a challenge for us as senior seniors, but we managed. Cottage is cute and adequate. The bed was exquisitely cozy and comfortable. I am happy we found it. I just loved being on the water.

Too long a list of instructions.
Followed instructions for TV for an hour with no luck. Owner had changed cable company w/o changing instructions. Called manager who informed us.
It is much further than 40 feet (all steps)from car.
It is a beautiful place but it might be very difficult for some folks to make all those steps

We went to Hot Springs to visit family. This was a great place to stay and hang out with our kids and grandkids.

Loved everything about the place and Hot Springs! Our only frustration was trying to operate the TVs!!! So many remotes and none of us are very “tech-y” so it was obviously user error. We finally figured out the Roku which we just used to wind down at night after full days of exploring the city and lake side fun. Would love to return soon!

Great spot, great time, great atmosphere
This is potentially the best spot on the lake it’s low key, the neighbors were super friendly. The lake was great where the steps go in to the water it’s gravel and sand not slimy moss! It’s so peaceful the place was just as it was described! The host was super friendly and helpful! Will most definitely stay again ! 10 out of 10

Excellent location, view, and outdoor space
Let me start bsaying--- This property location was wonderful in proximity to activities we wanted to do but we mainly spent time reading and relaxing out the outside deck. Never even turned on a TV! It was awesome to have access to a kayak to explore around the lake. We did catch some small channel cat and a flat head right off the deck. The stairs were a bit much for this pregnant lady, but as much as we ate it was probably good to have a bit of extra exercise. The second bathroom was also nice to have in such a small vrbo.
My only feedback would be the need for some deep cleaning--- the tracks on the shower doors, silverware drawers, air conditioner, inside fridge where the doors meet, top of toilet bowl cleaner, etc. As another poster commented there was a musty smell upon entering which did need aired out, however, this is pretty common for many near water rentals in our experiences. We only contacted the owner when the lock wouldn't lock upon our exit and she promptly responded. Thanks for letting us use your own. It made for a wonderful, relaxing anniversary trip!

Nice getaway from home
We loved it! Nice quiet getaway away from people of the city while remaining close enough to have the choice to go into town and do things.

This is a very nice little place on the lake! Although it definitely needs a housekeeper. There was dog hair everywhere. The furniture was covered with it in both houses. We used the lint roller’s left under the sink to clean it ourselves, cushions are heavily stained so we covered them with blankets to sit. Other than that it was a beautiful place. We enjoyed the fireplace in the screened in area and our time on the deck. The area was very quiet and peaceful. The fish were biting and the weather was great! We would stay again sometime but hopefully management can get someone to clean better between guests and update the outdoor furniture. The pictures in the add are old and does not reflect the current conditions. This probably was and absolutely could be a 5 Star rental again. Thank you.
