Woodsy Lake Retreat

Nestled in a pine forest with 90 feet of frontage at the end of Birchwood Bay on beautiful lake Hamilton Arkansas This unique 4+ bedroom 3.5 bath is close to Oaklawn Park Horse racing and Casino, shopping, Garvin Woodland gardens, mineral baths and so much more. The home sleeps 10 friendly and has sit down meal seating for a dozen or more. For those of you who need an office, there is a great space overlooking the back deck and the lake. I prefer staying here than my own home.

Boat seen in pictures is available for rent to responsible adults. please ask for more details.

James, the host, is very accomodating. We had a great stay. The views were beautiful and the house floor plan was very comfortable. We enjoyed making pop corn from the "movie style" pop corn maker. Unfortunately, the hot tub wasn't working which James tried to get someone to fix it.

Nice home close to everything you need and a bonus being on the lake

We all enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room for our group. The back deck was really nice and enjoyed our geese that visited everyday. We had a few issues at the beginning but the owner was easy to communicate with and very helpful. If you’re looking for a nice home within a short drive to everything and on the lake , this is definitely the place. Thank you for a wonderful stay :)

Good location. Well stocked kitchen

The location was good for visiting Hot Springs National Park, Oaklawn and Garvan Gardens. It worked well for group of 4 couples. Only negative comment would be that it needed a good deep cleaning, base boards, walls and cabinets needed washing badly

Great Stay and Location

We and our extended family enjoyed our stay. Check in and the host were good and easy to work with. The inside of the house had plenty of room and amenities for our large group. The location was also great in order to get into Hot Springs and the surrounding area easily.

Great stay!! Perfect location

Great Stay! Great Location

We had an amazing stay, location was great and easy to get to and quiet but close to everything we wanted to do. Access to the boat was a huge plus. We had 6 adults and were all comfortable and plenty of room to hang out together and quiet time away. Highly recommend; and we will be booking again.

Couldn’t ask for a better location!

Great place for an extended or large family in Hot Springs! Great location to get to town quickly for dinner or the store and quick to Bathhouse Row if you’re there for sightseeing. Property was on a nice, quiet street, with more than enough indoor and outdoor space for everyone, including our little dog (with a fenced in yard!) The beds were all very comfortable and the kids enjoyed the hot tub!

Beautiful low maintenance property!

Great house - beautiful property with a nice view, lots of room inside with a big patio & hot tub overlooking the water, and James was a great host. Was ideal for our annual guys trip, but would also be ideal for couples with kids. Unlike some places I've stayed where you pay a cleaning fee but still have to follow 50+ steps before you check out, everything was very simple here; clean up after yourself and take out the trash.

Girls Getsway ♥️

We throughly enjoyed our stay! We did most of our visiting and relaxing on the back deck which supplied a gorgeous sunset. The kitchen was nice and had a wrap around bar with seating . It was fun sipping on a glass of wine watching the meal being prepared . Cleanliness and yard maintenance could use a little attention but we still give it a 5 ⭐️

Christmas Getaway

Location was excellent. Short drive to all the places we wanted to see. Love that we were provided with fire log starters and plenty of firewood to burn along with other basics that you usually have to buy yourself (trash bags, toilet paper, soap). Loved the layout and spaciousness of the house Property could use some updating and deep cleaning. The hot tub was also not functioning properly which was very disappointing.since it’s one of the reasons we choose this location.
