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.

Great Lake House

Great house for our family reunion stay. We had 6 adults and our dogs and there was plenty of room for everyone. The deck was great, even though it was hot outside we did use the hot tub. The beds were very comfortable. We did have use of the boat which was the hi-lite of the trip. We used it for water skiing and to get to a restaurant for dinner. Nice area and neighborhood.

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

We had a fantastic time at the Woodsy Lake Retreat! The home was exactly what we were hoping for—very spacious with plenty of bedrooms to comfortably accommodate our group. Everyone had enough room to spread out and relax, but the common areas were also perfect for spending time together.The location is great—quiet and private, tucked away just enough to feel secluded, but still close to everything you need. The lake access is absolutely wonderful—easy to get to and perfect for swimming, kayaking, or just sitting by the water with a drink in hand.The house was well-stocked with all the amenities we needed, and you can tell it’s been thoughtfully set up for guests. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and made our stay super comfortable.Overall, it was a peaceful, relaxing retreat that gave us the perfect mix of downtime and lake fun. Would definitely come back again!

Hot Springs getaway

Functionally a great place to stay for a small group. The place was clean and the beds were comfortable. The only negative is that the place could use a painting and minor upgrades to bathrooms and doors.
