We never stay anywhere else!

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! ❤️

Wonderful

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!

Lakeside cozy cottage

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.

Couple get away stay

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.

If I Could Give the Place 0 Stars, I Would

The place would receive zero stars for cleanliness. The screened room was filthy, there were footprints on the floor covered with pollen, the furniture was unusable, It looked like the room had not been cleaned in months. I stayed at the property with two of my kids. When it was time to go to bed, there were no top sheet for the pull out couch. I reached out to the owner, she suggested that I slept under the blanket for one night, which I find unacceptable to sleep under a ‘community’ blanket without a sheet at a rental property, it is disgusting and unsanitary. The cleaning lady reached out to me, said that she would bring the linens that night, I was willing to wait. Several minutes later she texted me, and stated that she would not be able to come and bring the linens. She asked me to go to a storage unit located on the property near another house that was rented. Well, I am not going to walk around someone’s house at 10 PM. Speaking of the house next door, I talked to the renters, they had the same issue with the place being dirty. It belongs to the same owner. In short, I would NOT recommend the place.

Great location

We really loved the screened patio. The deck is great also! They have everything you need in the cottage! We will definitely be back. And I have to mention Dave, the neighbor he was a tremendous help and very knowledgeable about the area! Thanks for having us!

Relaxing getaway

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.

Perfect fall getaway anniversary weekend

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.

Needs attention!!

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.

Cute getaway house

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.

Great get away.

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.

Family of 11 Vacation

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.

Perfectly peaceful !

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.

Not relaxing

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.

Peaceful Beauty

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.

Beautiful setting

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
