Special offer: Last minute bookings Details
You will rarely find a house as nice as this for rent. This house sits on Lake Estrella, a small (25 acre) lake with 210 feet of lake frontage. At this time there are only a few other houses on the lake, so it is very quiet and has spectacular views. The house was designed with lots of large windows for an open and airy feel and to allow every opportunity to enjoy the magnificent views.
This 'charming house on a lake in the woods' is our vacation home and is decorated like a REAL home not a rental property. The linens are good quality as are the furniture and furnishings. We want you to have a lovely, comfortable vacation and hope that you will be respectful and appreciative of our home. It is a very nice place and we work hard to cultivate good feelings and happy times there.
The house has four bedrooms and three bathrooms. It is set up to sleep nine comfortably. There is a California king in the master bedroom, there are queen beds in each of the other three bedrooms and one of the bedrooms has an additional twin bed. There is enough room in two of the bedrooms to sleep children on the floor in sleeping bags or on queen sized blow-up mattresses on the floor if you wish.
The living room has three large comfy couches. The great room, that incorporates the kitchen, will probably be where you spend most of your time. A 42-inch wide screen television with DVD/VCR and lots of comfortable seating in the great room (you can steal all the pillows off of the couches in the living room to set up an even comfier spot to watch movies on the floor). There are VCR equipped TVs in each of the bedrooms as well(master bedroom has DVD/VCR).
The great room television as well as two of the bedroom TVs are wired with Direct TV. There is a fairly extensive video collection (shelved in the den) for your use, as well as some best sellers if you prefer to curl up with a book.
The deck at the back of the house is 78 feet long (runs the entire length of the back of the house). There is a table and chairs so you may eat al fresco and lots of seating so you can sit out and enjoy the peaceful evenings. We also have a laundry room with a full size washer and dryer, iron and ironing board as well as a chest freezer if you prefer to bring all your own food and stay for a month.
The house is in beautiful Hot Springs Village, a gated community, with eight public golf courses and one private. The private course, Diamante, is only seconds away from the house, as are two of the Village's other great golf courses. Two of the golf courses were ranked in the top 100 in the country by Golf Digest and five of them were in the top ten for the state of Arkansas. The house is within a few steps of the second hole on the Granada course. The greens fees are very reasonable.
The Village is also peppered with 11 lakes, some large enough for motorized boats and waterskiing. Others, like ours, are smaller and more intimate, good for fishing, swimming and small boats. There are pools within the village as well as public (free access) beaches. There are tennis courts and miles of walking and bicycling paths.
The village has all sorts of amenities including a workout facility, massages, theatre programs and festivals. There are frequently weekend garage sales and church sales for those of you looking to bargain hurt. For those of you who enjoy a nice drive there are all sorts of spectacular roads both inside and outside of the village. If you are interested in day tours, let us know and we can make some suggestions for some of the scenic routes that we've taken.
The house is easy to find. It is now visable on mapquest and google maps, I can email you a map to help you to get your bearings once you are confirmed. I'm sorry we do not give exact location to prospective renters for security reasons and we NEVER allow 'drive-bys' to 'check out' the house. From the Village's East entrance, off of Route 5, it is just a short two mile drive in to the house. It is roughly 12 miles into the town of Hot Springs and a magnificent, scenic 12-mile ride from the town of Benton (Highway 30 and Route 5 - exit 117). Drive across the village and out the front gate (west) and the Ouachita National Forest is ten minutes away.
We have two rules which are NOT NEGOTIABLE. ABSOLUTELY NO PETS & NO SMOKING !
A $500. deposit is required to hold the dates and confirm that they are yours, at that time only will the dates be blocked on the availability calendar. We will not hold dates even for 24 hours without a deposit. March through May it gets a bit crazy with dozens of inquiries a day so we have to stick to our rule 'first deposit in gets it'.
In the event that you need to cancel, the initial deposit will only be fully refunded if we are able to re-rent your dates to someone else. If we are unable to re-rent for those days you will forfeit your entire deposit. If we re-rent then you will get your entire deposit back. If you cancel after the rental packet has already gone out you will forfeit the entire amount of your rental.

Eight women, friends since childhood, for our annual get-together. All 1969 graduates who have remained very close for many years. Our purpose each year is to visit and spend time together. We don't spend our time sightseeing (most of the time) or planned activities. We laugh, talk, and eat! We have rented many properties in several states. This house, by far, was the most conducive to our visiting all together. Plenty of bedrooms and baths. View was wonderful, deck was wonderful and the house was basically very well stocked. The house is convenient to a grocery store, which we visited a couple of times. We all enjoyed the house and would rent the property again. We particularly liked the feeling of seclusion without actually being secluded. There were a couple of minor details that I sent to the owner, just for her attention. I thought she would appreciate the "heads up." It was nothing that would prevent our renting the house again unless our deposit is not returned. I fully expect to receive that back, since we followed all of the owner's instructions and left the house after a thorough "review." I don't foresee that being a problem.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway.

This is our 5th year to stay in Kathryn's house. We feel like it is our home away from home. It is big enough for our family to spend time together, but enough room to spread out too. The personal attention we receive from Kathryn is an added bonus. We all enjoyed the Wifi this year. The baby bed was an added bonus. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We are trying to set a date for our next reunion.Recommended for: People with disabilities, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.

This rental property was exactly as described. Beautiful location on lake and excellent property. There was only two of us but there was plenty of room for more families. Very well stocked with everything you need for vacation and the movie selection was great. We loved it so much we have decided that is where we are retiring!!!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers.
Owner response: We totally agree, the Village is an amazing place with good mix of people from all over the country. We are blessed to have a nice house in a beautiful setting but unfortunately can't retire to the Village just yet ourselves. So happy that you found everything you needed at the house and that you had a wonderful time. Congratulations on your decision to move to the Village, you are going to love it there I am sure!

This was the nicest house we have ever rented for any vacation (and we have rented a lot of vacation homes). It was beautifully decorated and very roomy! We never left the house the entire weekend. With the lake right outside the back door and so many games and movies to choose from, we were completely entertained. There were gorgeous, peaceful surroundings and the deck let us take full advantage of it. I would highly recommend this rental to any family looking to get some peace and quiet and have some great family time.Recommended for: People with disabilities, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway.
Owner response: Delighted that you had a great time at the house and found it comfortable. You're welcome back anytime!

Three golfing friends and I spent the week before Easter (3/30-4/7/12) in this lovely home and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Everything was as stated on the website. We golfed at 4 different courses and took a day to tour Hot Springs. Ribs at Molly O'Briens' are still absolutely delicious. It was a great relaxing vacation and we are already discussing renting the same home either this fall or next spring. Hopefully it will still be available. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone wanting all the space and scenery they are looking for.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children, sightseeing, girls getaway.
Owner response: It is a great place for a golf outing that is for sure! Hard to even play all 9 courses in a week. Glad that you really enjoyed yourselves. You are of course welcome back any time!

We totally enjoyed your HSV Vista Lane home. Though my son-in-law and I have enjoyed staying there several times, my two cousins had not and were totally impressed with the property, situated on the quiet virtually private Lake Estrella, the comfort of the furnishings, and convenience to the majority of the golf courses.. Thank you for your attention to detail of the maintenance of the property adding to the enjoyment of our experience at HSV this year. We will return.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, age 55+, girls getaway.

Three of my golfing buddies and I, along with our wives, returned last week from our semi- annual golf event in Hot Springs Village. We stayed again at our favorite house in the whole village (vrbo.com/117420). The golf is great, the fishing for the little bass is fun, and the comfort and roominess of the lodging for the wives, makes for a relaxing time. We always have a great time there and this time we stretched our usual 3 day trip into 5. Even the dramatic change in the weather (temp dropped about 30 degrees) didn't affect our great time. Thanks for the ease and professionalism in which you provide your house for others to enjoy. It feels like home away from home and we always make a new memory event.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, age 55+, sightseeing, adventure seekers, girls getaway.

A great house for time with family and friends! We had four couples get away for a three day weekend of golf and relaxation and had a blast. We plan to make this an annual event. Very easy rental process and owners are great to work with. Location is in the heart of most of the courses in HSV which was a plus and easy access to the east gate. We golfed all day and dined out late so we didn't have time to enjoy the huge deck and great views out to the lake. Next time!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, age 55+, adventure seekers.

Perfect House for a Golf Weekend

We chose this house because of it's proximity to the best golf courses in HSV. If you are looking for a house that is near Granada, Isabella, and Diamante then you can't go wrong with this one. It was the perfect place for relaxation after golf. Great deck area looking over the lake made for evening activities of grilling and playing cards. I would definitely stay here again for future golf weekends. This place was a great value for the amenities it offers. No complaints.Recommended for: Families with young children, sightseeing, families with teenagers.
Owner response: Our proximity to Granada, Isabella and Diamonte is a big plus and we are glad that it worked out so well for all of you. We chose to make the Deck the "biggest room in the house" since we knew we would be spending so much time out there. We have found that nearly everyone who stays there feels the same way. When you are surrounded by such a beautiful natural setting it is rejuvenating to be able to sit out in it and relax. We are really glad that you had such a great time and would be delighted to have you guys stay for your next golf outing.

My family and I were so pleased when we arrived at the rental property, the homes layout is very spacious, the rooms are very well adorned with a very warm homey feeling. There are a ton of indoor activities the owner already has available, we brought board games and all the titles we brought she already had. They have an enormous movie library with all sort of things to choose from kids on up. The back porch is absolutely beautiful; it's huge and has plenty of seating. The kitchen is well stocked with all needed supplies. We will definitely look forward to staying there again in the future.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, sightseeing, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, girls getaway.
Owner response: We are delighted that you had a such great time with your whole family. In designing the house we tried to provide several different living space to allow for different groups to gather and visit/play. I am glad that you found it comfortable and that you found plenty to do there for everyone. It does our hearts good to know that we are able to help facilitate quality family time and foster great memories. We would be happy to welcome you back.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2004
About the owner: Two hard working individuals that some day hope to retire to a warmer climate.
Why the Owner Chose Hot Springs Village:
We were invited down for a time share presentation in another area of the Village and found out during our stay that they had opened up another area for development. We loved the area and the people and the price was right. We have had fun investigating the surrounding roads and area and visiting Hot Springs spas and downtown shopping district. The people down there couldn't be nicer.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
the perfect place to escape the cold winters of Chicago. We feel the house is warm and welcoming and we are able to go there to detox and de-stress and get away from the harsh realities of life in a big city. It is amazing to have a lake in your back yard that you can throw a kayak in or walk out and bob along on a floaty. The deck is our favorite room of the house and we love to hang out there to eat, read or watch the wildlife. With so few other houses we feel like it is our own lake.
