About this property

1950's Knotty Pine Cabin updated features View of Mountains/Lake Catherine Cozy

Cabin was built in the 50's but updated to modern features. Knotty Pine walls and vaulted ceiling with beams give it so much character.
Just the right size for a couple or a family of 4. Beautiful lake views from the front room, living room and deck. Pets must have prior approval.

The cottage consists of one bedroom and one bathroom with and additional sleeping area on the glassed-in front room. There is a queen size memory foam mattress in the bedroom and a full-sized futon in the front room.

Vaulted ceiling in combination Living room-kitchen.

Kitchen has all new cabinets, above the stove microwave, full size fridge. Pots, pans and dishes included to make sure you can cook your own meals. I have also included a coffee pot and toaster.


The bathroom is accessed through the master bedroom. Please be aware of this, as it may be a problem with more than a couple staying.

This is one of the most restful places I have ever lived. The road is off the beaten trail, and only the few neighbors will drive by.

The deck is wonderful, nice place to sit and enjoy the sunrise, a nice drink and beautiful lake views.

Really not a good place to swim unless you are adventurous. You can walk down to the lake on public access steps: but, it is a steep climb up, and there is NO BEACH or DOCK just a bank. VERY STEEP climb. There is a public water access just up the road where you can launch a boat or fish. Water can be very cold here since it comes from below the dam up stream.

There is off the road parking at the back of the house, several steps up to the parking area please see pictures.

Keywords: Cottage, Cabin, Rustic, Romantic, Wildlife, Lake, Quiet, Retreat, We allow pets with prior approval. Thank you for looking!

If you are going back and forth about booking this property let this be your sign to do it! We absolutely loved our stay here. It truly felt like a home away from home.

I am sorry this was your experience for your one-night stay. There has been a lot of rain and the catkins from the oak trees do have a tendency to make the deck look dirty. Thank you again for your stay.

Great views, loved sunrises on porch and looking outside through the day in sun room. Real wood cabin feel throughout. We loved staying here and found it easy to keep our baby happy in the cozy atmosphere. This cabin is pet friendly so there were a few spare hairs I noticed when I was sitting on floor in my black leggings but not a horrible amount. Just worth considering if you have a pet dander allergy.

About the host

Hosted by Melanie Austin

Host profile image

I love to travel and am excited to offer my home to others who love to travel. I have lived in Hot Springs since 1987.

Why they chose this property

I purchased this home in 1992, I lived there full time for awhile and now use it as a getaway spot. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.

What makes this property unique

It is so peaceful and quiet here on Lake Catherine. I love hanging out on the deck and relaxing with my friends and family.

Very close to Hot Springs, and all its attractions. You can chose to do as much or as little as you want. About 2.5 miles from the Bypass, so you can be anywhere in Hot Springs in just minutes.
