About this property

Woodsy Lake Retreat

Nestled in a pine forest with 90 feet of frontage at the end of Birchwood Bay on beautiful lake Hamilton Arkansas This unique 4+ bedroom 3.5 bath is close to Oaklawn Park Horse racing and Casino, shopping, Garvin Woodland gardens, mineral baths and so much more. The home sleeps 10 friendly and has sit down meal seating for a dozen or more. For those of you who need an office, there is a great space overlooking the back deck and the lake. I prefer staying here than my own home.

Boat seen in pictures is available for rent to responsible adults. please ask for more details.

The home was a perfect fit for our family of 6 with ages ranging from 11 to 85. We enjoyed spending evenings on the large deck overlooking the lake and relaxing in the hot tub. Great location with short drive to old Hot Springs shopping and bath house row. Host was very accessible for any questions.

The host is super responsive and quick to fix any issues! That was appreciated! The house is spacious and has enough beds and bathrooms for everyone. The water view is very relaxing. We saw turtles, geese, ducks, and a snake or two swimming around. Each day we saw deer across the water. AC kept the house cool, neighborhood is very quiet. Just the best get away!

The host responded immediately with any questions we had. The house was comfortable and big enough for my family. I wish the water in the lake would've been higher to make the view prettier, but we couldn't have sat outside to enjoy it much anyway with the cold weather. The house was really close to hiking and downtown which made.it really convenient.

Great stay. Dogs loved having a space to run and play. I’d advise one to bring a hair dryer as there wasn’t one. Oh, and your own bath soap. Plenty of other necessities available to us. Will stay again next time we go to Hot Springs!

The hot tub did not work. On the 2nd day we messaged the host. The housekeeper amber answered the msg. She sd she wld come over. She did. She explained how to use it. We left for magic springs. When we got back we followed the procedure, but it still wouldn't heat. It was abt 5 pm & i messaged her again. Gave her our phone number & asked her to call and walk us thru the procedure. We never heard from anyone. Left disappointed. Feel like we deserve a partial refund. The house was nice & it was clean, but cld use a little upgrading & repair.

The traveler admitted to the housekeeper that it was hot the first night. They also admitted to changing the settings and when they left we found it in economy mode. The default for the ec mode is 82
