Ideal vacation property for those looking to get away from it all, yet wanting to be close to all the activities that Hot Springs National Park has to offer (see below). This is our third of three Lake Hamilton vacation properties. We additionally offer two three-bedroom lakefront homes (two on the main channel) 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.
Lake access is completely flat. No steep driveway or walkway like lots of lake properties. Head straight out to enjoy the lake. From the back deck enjoy direct views of Music Mountain, part of Hot Springs National Park.
It's like having the lake to yourself in our quiet cove. Enjoy kayaking without the choppy main channel wake.
The house has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, full kitchen, large living room with DISH TV and wireless internet.
Please contact us with any questions you might have regarding our home, Lake Hamilton or Hot Springs in general.
We want to make sure that our house is the perfect fit for you and your group! Lake levels on Lake Hamilton are lower from November until March, so most especially contact us for reservations during this time. We do still have great National Park views, but we can't offer fishing or boating during these months.
Please contact Stan with any questions whatsoever, regarding minimum stays or rates. Also check to see if our pontoon boat is available for rental during your stay!
Here are some of our favorite activities when visiting Lake Hamilton and Hot Springs National Park:
• Since our home is lakefront, you can enjoy Lake Hamilton just steps from the back door! We also have one of the few spots on the lake with unobstructed views of Hot Springs National Park!
• Use our boat dock for swimming or docking your boat! We are in a quiet cove, so there is no wake and it's perfect for floating, swimming and sunning!
• If you rent a boat and dock it at our place, 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.
• If you don't rent a boat but want the experience of being out on the water, 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 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, don't miss 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. Check the Magic Springs website to read about the summer concert series at the Timberwood Amphitheater throughout the summer. With genres ranging from classic rock, country, Christian to contemporary, park visitors are sure to find music to their liking this summer at Magic Springs!
Nightlife:
• Hot Springs has no shortage of entertainment spots for the adults in your group.
• For those theater fans, Hot Springs also has you covered! Try Maxwell Blade's Theatre of Magic & Comedy, Hot Springs Bathhouse Dinner Theatre, Hot Springs Central Theater or the Pocket Theatre.
Annual Events:
• If you're visit coincides with March 17, check out the Worlds Shortest St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Head down to Bridge Street downtown and try to get a good viewing spot! I hear they are hard to come by!
• The Hot Springs Motorcycle Rally roars into town in early September. Visitors from all over come for a parade and various concerts.
Yes, Even More Fun Things to Do:
• Various wineries operate downtown for all the wine lovers who visit. Check out the Winery of Hot Springs, Bath House Row Winery or Spa City Tropical Winery and Gifts.
• Did you bring your jacked up Jeep? Head straight to Superlift Off Road Vehicle Park and get muddy! (Send us pictures, please)
