About this house rental

Copper Porch Cottage is right on the water in a tranquil location but close to restaurants and attractions. Oaklawn and downtown are 10-15 minutes and restaurants and groceries are about 5 minutes away, all on easy main roads. The furnishings, parking, and storage were developed with eight people in mind, but it’s cozy enough for a couple. Watch the geese and ducks fly in, kayak the large inlet and spend evenings around the fire pit at this private location. As an added health and safety precaution no guests arrive on the same day that another departs.

Copper Porch Cottage gets its name from the screened porch where you can talk for hours protected from mosquitos! The screening is copper, which is the best material for viewing, but it is fragile, so please do not touch it or lean anything against it. There’s a table for four for dining al fresco and a cushioned sofa and chair. A grill with propane provided is located down the stairs off the screened porch. Outdoor living continues at the lake with a fire pit with masonry seating area. We provide firewood, so bring on the smores! The 16’ x 12’ dock with boat mooring gives you a front-row seat to enjoy the evening, swim, or go fishing. Do not dive from the dock as its deepest water is about 4 feet; we recommend entering and exiting the water at the boat ramp or from the dock. Utilize the private boat ramp right outside the back door by bringing your small boat, personal watercraft, or SUP. The ramp is best for smaller boats; there is a public boat ramp 5 minutes away for larger boats. There’s parking for your truck and trailer as well. [PLEASE NOTE: from early-mid November through mid-March Lake Hamilton is lowered several feet for dock maintenance. There is still plenty of water to boat and fish, but the boat mooring on the swim dock is not available. We are happy to message you a photo of the lake during those months.]

Two living areas means a cozy, gas fireplace den for playing board games and another sitting area to watch the game on a 50" TV. The open concept makes viewing the TV possible at the dining table, if your mom allows that sort of thing! Like to cook? We’ve got you covered with a fully outfitted kitchen with granite countertops, 12-cup drip coffee maker, microwave, toaster oven, ice maker and blender. The gas cooktop is four burners with a griddle in the center and below is a 30” gas oven.

The 1900 square foot cottage has two king bedrooms and a four-bed XL bunk room, all with blackout curtains so you can get some sleep. There’s an on-demand water heater, so there’s a constant supply of hot water for 8 guests to take a hot shower one after the other. The main level king bedroom is an en suite with a tub shower, double sinks and a 32” smart TV with cable. The bunk room mattresses are extra-large twins with mattress toppers, which comfortably accommodate adults. Host a girl’s weekend because the bunks have nice stairs, not a ladder, to the top bunks. The TV in the bunk room is for streamed content, no cable. The hall bathroom next to the bunk room has a walk-in shower with glass door and plenty of towel rods and hooks. Down the stairs at lake level is a very private king bedroom with club chairs, a 52” smart TV with cable, a full bathroom, and a covered porch. We recommend that children do not sleep downstairs as there is a door leading outside to the porch that is 40 feet from the lake. This is a split-level home with most of the rooms on the main level and only this private suite downstairs.

In order to keep an instant booking with a pet, the renter must message the host with the breed and size of the dog. The dog fee is $100 per dog with a maximum of 2 dogs. The yard is not fenced. No cats or other pets are allowed.

Regarding accessibility, there are three steps from the carport into the house on the main level, and once inside there is a set of stairs down to one of the king bedrooms and bathroom. There is a sidewalk leading down the side of the house to the exterior entrance of the downstairs bedroom and to the boat ramp and lake. The sidewalk is too steep for a wheelchair without a VERY strong helper. You can also reach the grill, lake and fire pit via a set of stairs from the screened porch.

We do have external security cameras.

At this time our maximum stay is 4 weeks. We offer a 10% discount for weekly stays. Please contact us about discounts for reservations that are 2 weeks or longer.

Fabulous property! Communication with the host was prompt and she kept us informed of the power situation as the storms caused some issues before we arrived. The amenities were superb and the kitchen was fully stocked with more gourmet utensils then our home! We enjoyed seeing the "before" pictures and were so impressed by the remodel of this vacation home. Truly outdid yourselves with everything. The location is perfect, we loved the use of the kayaks and can't wait to visit again! Thank you!

My family and I rented this cabin for the Great American Eclipse (April 2024). We loved the property and it definitely enhanced our experience. The property has been renovated beautifully and was clean and inviting upon our arrival. My adult children really enjoyed the kayaks, and being on Lake Hamilton was wonderful. The owner was very easy to communicate with and she addressed all questions quickly. I hope we can stay here again in the future; it was a truly fabulous experience!

We loved our stay at this lake house! The house is beautifully remodeled and has everything you could need. The location is perfect and close to everything that Hot Springs has to offer. We really enjoyed our time on the back screened in porch and the dock off the lake. The owner was great and replied instantly to any questions we had. We hated leaving and will be back again soon!

This was our first stay here and we had a great time. We were so appreciative of the host helping us make adjustments to our stay due to an illness in the family. I highly recommend you stay here.
