There was no lake or view. It was drained.
Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 19 Mar, 2026
The lake was drained as we communicated with you in advance of your stay and offered you the opportunity to alter or cancel your stay for a full refund. Despite knowing the lake was drained, you still chose to come. The lake levels are now returning to normal as they drain each lake in Hot Springs Village every seven years and this happened to be Lake Balboa’s year. Our lakefront property has been enjoyed by hundreds over the years, and we look forward to the lake returning to its normal beauty. We are sorry you weren’t able to experience it in its glory. We are glad you enjoyed the expansive deck as we find it relaxing as well.

Awesome location on Lake Balboa

Excellent and immediate communication with host. You can’t beat being footsteps away from an amazing swimming hole - we spent most of our time in the warm Lake Balboa. Bring floaties and beach towels to make swim days even more enjoyable. Well stocked kitchen. Super comfy beds. Opportunities for improvement/areas of concern shared directly with hosts.

A great spot!

The Rest and Refresh lake house was a lovely place to stay! The spacious rooms and entertainment areas like the fire pit, lake, and the back deck made our stay incredibly comfy and relaxing. We enjoyed fishing and swimming off the dock on the lake and the fire pit when it got too cold to be near the water. Sunset Grill and Molly O’Briens were some of our local favorite eats. Thank you Earsa and Anthony for loaning out your home to us!
