About this property

BEST VIEW on Lake Hamilton

No kidding, the view is spectacular with Mount Riante in the distance. We are on the main channel facing due South which is important because it means NO MOSQUITOES and there is always a nice breeze.

We are just outside the city limits of Hot Springs which means we are minutes away from everything, 5 minutes from Oaklawn Park, yet located on a private, quiet peninsula.

We have a boat dock available with a marina a few hundred yards away to gas up the boat. You will put your boat in at Hill Wheatley park and hop across the main channel to our boat dock.

We have covered parking for your vehicle or your boat trailer. You will want to put your boat in prior to coming to cottage as we have a steep driveway.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Lake House

We adored this little house right on the lake. The kids were able to jump off the dock to paddleboard and swim. The beds were super comfy too! I think we will try to stay here when we come back to Hot Springs!

My 2 daughters, 1 of their friends and myself (mom) booked this cabin for a mini spring break that would let us bring our 2 puppies. What a pleasure this Lake House provided. the weather did not cooperate, but the property was perfect. we were able to play with the puppies, go hiking in the national park, cooked at the cabin for supper one evening, cooked breakfast daily. Plenty room for all of us. Enjoyed seeing deer. Spent evenings watching movies. were going to play games provided by the host but just ran out of time. We loved the cozy "lake" decorations and theme. We had no issues with the directions to reach our destination. All the rules provided were exactly as stated. We fell in love with this little property and would definitely visit again. Hopefully in the summer so we can enjoy the lake. The property is just minutes from downtown Hot Springs and we were able to enjoy the St Patricks day parade. Enjoyed some shopping and on our last day were able to visit the Bath house and spent time just soaking int he water! Thank you so much for providing such a special property to unwind, relax and bring our dog.

Host was very accommodating. We very much enjoyed the large porch area and view of the lake. Our grandchildren had a blast catching fish right off the lower deck on the water. We would recommend this place. The only scary part is the driveway lol. It’s steep!

About the host

Hosted by Chris Schmiedeke

Host profile image
Myself, my wife and our two girls live in Dallas, Texas. My wife is originally from Hot Springs and we travel here as much as time will allow.

We love the Hot Springs area, and wanted someplace on the lake where we could get away.

Why they chose this property

We love this property because of the spectacular views and southerly breeze. We had a place in a cove at one time, and the mosquitos were unbearable.

Our home is a rustic 50+ year old cottage built right on the lake. Multiple decks to lounge on, a boat dock and steps right down into the water.

Check the photos and reviews to learn more about our vacation home. If you are expecting the Ritz Carlton, this is not your place. This is a fantastic rustic cottage where you can hang out at night and spend your days in the water. It is private and quiet with the rumble of boat engines and waves to put you to sleep on the deck.

What makes this property unique

There are multiple decks to lounge on and great swimming. We are minutes from everything by both boat and car. It is a perfect location.
