About this property

CastAway Condo/288DVD 2/2 Large, Screened in Porch by LOVR

Our luxurious condo is just yards from the shoreline on Lake Ouachita. The resort has a world renowned spa, riding stables with the best looking rental horses i have ever seen.....and i'm a past Rodeo Queen, tiara and all. There is a weight limit so call first.

The marina has great boats of all kinds to rent. You can drive a short distance to Crystal Digging, Hot Springs, Oaklawn Horse Racing and Casino and much more.

Cast Away condo is good for couples, solo adventurers, families (with kids), all that are looking to vacation on one of this countries cleanest lakes.

The condo has 2/2, with three beds total, and comfortably sleeps 7. There is a wonderful screened in porch with very comfortable seating. And, of course, we offer your choice of grills. Enjoying the wonderful Ouachita National Forest and all the wildlife is at your backdoor.

The kitchen has all you need to cook meals for your loved ones. If there is something you need and it is not provided i will gladly bring what ever it is you need. We offer commercial pans for larger meals if you need them. I will gladly bring them to you. And, i'm less than a mile away.

We named this place Cast Away because it feels like you are floating on a secluded island. Ask for a quote today. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Great place for family!

We loved this place. Plenty of space for our family of four and grandparents. Very well stocked, even had toys and books for the kids. Great screened in outdoor patio. We enjoyed our stay!

Nick, we loved hosting you and your loved ones in our Cast Away condo. We have 2 more next door if you ever have a larger group. We also have places directly on the water if you are interested. I know summer is our high season but if you've never been here in Oct that is my favorite month on the mountain. The weather is perfect, the lake is still warm, the resort is deserted and the rates are rock bottom. If you don't have a boat the boat rental prices also drop. Come back and try it sometime. I will give you a heck of a deal. Thank you again for this kind review, Sami

Shannon, Thank you so much for the kind review. You stayed in the newer Phase of Harbor East Condos.. The parking is better, decks are larger. Pool is conveniently located. We are so glad you all came for the Holiday. Please come back and ask about our Off Season rates. They are amazing. Bring the ATVs and legally ride in the National Forest less than 1/2 down the road. Not to mention using your ATV for all your transportation needs on the mountain. Thanks again and please come back to see us at Harbor. Sami Grace

Nice Condo

The cove in the back left of the property was nice. I found a few golden chanterelle mushrooms in the woods around the cove and various other wooded areas on our boat rides. The lake was great. The pool water was a bit cold so we didn’t really spend time there. I hope to plan a trip back with no kids.

The property was a beautiful location. The house was great, the host went way beyond to be helpful. There was a neighbor in a house nearby with a barking dog that was annoying, and they tried to keep it down as best they could. But dogs are not my thing. I enjoy the quiet while in such a setting.

Sami is wonderful, very accessible and had a welcome basket full of goodies and homemade cookies. We actually switched to another condo with very similar style and layout, just without the outside stairs. That condo was clean and very comfortable. This is the 4th home that we've rented around the US, and this was the most supplied. Most everything you could need, including paper towels, t.p., and laundry detergent was more than sufficient for our stay. The wooded view from the deck, and deer traversing by added to our delight! We definitely enjoyed our mornings, late afternoon and evenings, enjoying the deck before and after exploring the Hot Springs area.

Sharon, your review made me so happy. It was nice to learn you enjoyed our Enchanted Forest. I know you booked Cast Away. After talking to you i learned you needed a condo with no stairs. EF is right next door and it worked out. I was so happy to also hear our properties are clean and stocked. If you are ever back in AR i hope you will allow us to host you. We are always here for you.

Phenomenal Experience

The property was flawless and the host's hospitality was EXCEPTIONAL! My husband and I traveled to this area for a "Birthday Weekend" and we were not disappointed. The host, Sami Grace, went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful experience. Her hospitality and impeccable and her attention to the finest of details was astonishing....a very thoughtful snack basket, homemade sweet treats, and she even picked up a birthday cake I ordered and placed it in the rental for me so I could surprise my husband on arrival. I have rented numerous vacation rentals over the years and have never come across a host that put in such effort to help make the guests feel so welcomed. We will definitely be renting from this property manager in the future!

Amazing!!

I could rave about this property all day! The location could not be better. Only a few steps to the pool, tennis court, basketball court, and my absolute favorite... a beautiful and peaceful private cove on the lake. The property manager responded very quickly to all questions and even came over with a map of the lake and marked it to help us navigate the boat. We were able to park our boat in the cove which was very convenient. The homemade desserts were to die for, and they even included the recipe for the delicious cookies! We saw so many deer roaming the property during our stay. The marina was also close and offered jet ski and water toy rentals. Everyone in the family ranging from 16-66 years old agreed that it was one of the best vacations we have ever taken! Our only regret was not staying longer.

About the host

Hosted by Sami Grace

Host profile image
I've been coming to Lake Ouachita and Mt Harbor for over 60 years. I'm intimately familiar with the lake, our resort and surroundings. I will even give you a tour of the lake...you buy the gas.
I live here year round and will do everything to make your stay spectacular.

Why they chose this property

There are 3 Phases of condos at Mt Harbor. Phase III is the best. And, the parking is really roomy. Two designated spots just for you. There is also lots of overflow parking if you need it. We stock our units better than any i have ever experienced. And, if our condos don't have what you need just call me. I'll do what i can to provide it in a timely fashion.

What makes this property unique

Mt Harbor Resort is one of 9 on Lake Ouachita (WASH-ah-taw). Bill Barnes has done a marvelous job of making this resort unique. The state bought a 47' Boat, that resides at Mt Harbor, to put out forest fires. It can be seen at our Marina. Our LOViT trail stands out as one of the 53 worldwide trails to receive the IMBA Epic Trail Designation.
