About this property

Royal Cottage on Lake Hamilton with Boat Ramp, WI-FI

Our cottage is on the edge of the lake so you can enjoy fishing, kayaking or just a stroll through the wooded neighborhood. Hot Springs is only a beautiful 20 minute drive away (this is approximate).

When you walk in the front door, the wall of windows in the living/dining area give a beautiful view of the lake; SMART TV in living area as well as a DVD player and movies. The kitchen is just off the living/dining area with all the amenities for making a nice meal. The bathroom/shower is just off the kitchen as well as the bedroom that has a queen size Arkansas cedar made bed. SMART TV & DVD player are provided in bedroom. We also provide some games and things for children in the cabinet below the kitchen bar.

Upstairs in our Logan's loft has an Arkansas cedar made trundle bed which can make into full size bed or two separate twin beds. A dresser and bench are also provided. SMART TV located in bedroom.

Update to our Smoking policy as of 9-11-20 - we are now allowing smoking outside only (cigarettes, cigars, vaping only). We do have an ash tray on the porch to dispose of cigarette/cigar butts. There is still NO SMOKING allowed inside the cottage - if there is any evidence of smoking (smell, burns, etc.) inside the cottage, there will be additional charges including carpet steam cleaning.

We do accept small dogs- if you have a larger animal please get approval before booking. Our pet fee is $30 per pet per night. If you are bringing a service animal please notify us.

A boat ramp is located between this cottage and the big 2-story house next door. Guests are allowed to utilize the boat ramp which is private to our own guests as well as the boat dock that is behind the 2-story house. (NOTE - we do allow our guests from other cottages to launch their boat) - Please do not park on the ramp.

Please do not remove the rocking chairs from the front porch. We can provide outdoor chairs upon request - contact management.

We do have a portable fire pit that can be moved around. Bring your own firewood.

If you use grill, please remember to remove the cover before lighting AND allow to cool before replacing the cover. Please be courteous and clean the grill before turning off. Bring your own charcoal and lighter fluid.

Please note - Lake Hamilton is regulated by Entergy therefore we have no control over debris/trash that may float into cove. Also, this lake is lowered around the first of November to allow for owners to make repairs to docks/seawalls & to control algae. The lake is brought back up around the first of March.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Great weekend stay

Perfect house for weekend getaway. On the water with a ramp but not suitable for large boats. We had a bass boat that we put in. Dock available which made it easy getting on the water. Several amenities including some snacks and fire pit with firewood. 10-15 minutes to restaurants.

Absolutely amazing!

Cheryl and Tim could not have been more helpful. The home was perfect for my kids and I. Weather was beautiful. The cottage was close enough to town if we needed anything but nestled away with lots of privacy. We used the fire pit every night. The cottage had everything we could possibly need. We fished everyday and I caught my first budget pike!

Great Getaway to honor each other for 36th Anniversary

Beautiful forest and abundance of water ! Though we fished and caught no fish we were delighted to be there and have the lake to discover the beauty of Lake Hamilton; breathtaking views from the cabin ! Forest has a vast amount of birds each with individual sounds! Would recommend this location and cabin.

Good place to stay.

The location was peaceful and quiet. Everything you could need was there. The couch was not very comfortable and way too many plug-in air fresheners for a small place. But overall a nice place to stay and get away.

Great weekend

We had a fun weekend. The area that the cottage is located in is very neat and perfect if you have a boat as it’s in a cove off of the main lake. The cottage was very clean and stocked with all of the essentials. Would definitely stay here again!

The house is cozy and the view is very nice. Excellent place out in the country for some quiet, peaceful downtime. Did a little fishing from the pier. It is close enough to Hot Springs to be there in no time. We really enjoyed our stay.

Right on the lake, we brought an inflatable kayak and put in right in front of the house. Also used the gas grill and enjoyed sitting on the boat dock and the front porch!

My husband is a structural engineer and has been for 25 + years. We have 4 children and 4 grandchildren. We love getting the opportunity to meet people and love to travel.

Why they chose this property

We have a very quiet, relaxing neighborhood with the opportunities to see lots of deer, turkey, geese, and other wildlife. Plus, we live just down the street.

What makes this property unique

Since I work from home and live just down the street, I am available most of the time.
