The house is large, ok for a group of adults. The location is good and has great views with lake access. The house is not well maintained. Multiple things are broken and just haphazardly addressed: leaking sink with buckets underneath causing a lot of mold, electrical tape holding monitor together, indoor flooring used for outside balcony, outdoor furniture not well maintained with ripped upholstery. Would not recommend for children as the banister/rails of the open 2nd floor stairs is very loose. The bunk bed is also missing multiple bolts so it collapsed when someone just put a foot on the ladder. This could have been deadly if a child was on the bottom bunk. No hot tub as listed. Good potential but not well maintained.

Hot tub was not included as listing stated. The host did say they have had trouble removing it from the listing so that was fine. The communication with the host was delayed. It took 16 hours to respond on one maintenance matter but they did send maintenance quickly to resolve issue. WiFi did not work during the entire stay and was never resolved. The floors in the kitchen turned socks brown. Two coffee mugs were found in the microwave upon arrival that had coffee inside that was moldy and was pure black sludge. The cups were stained when we put in the dishwasher. Overall, our stay was fine but I didn’t anticipate having to communicate with the host as much as I did regarding maintenance and wifi issues.

Hamilton Lake

The property was amazing. We had enough space and beds for everyone that came on vacation. The location on the lake was great for boating activities. We had a few hiccups with the house but JB was on top of it and got it handled. We would highly recommend this property for families.

Great communication, beautiful home

We enjoyed our stay thoroughly! Nestled directly by the water, with a huge deck and dock! The master bedroom was perfect, with a large jacuzzi tub, bidet, and closet of your dreams. The kids room was so fun, the kitchen island was HUGE, and the downstairs entertainment area and couch was perfect. The hosts were super prompt in their responses, and we are hoping to stay here again in the future with the kids!

I dont think the place was cleaned all the way. there was a small shampoo bottle top left in the upstairs bathroom, the bathroom in the basement had a empty used bottle of shampoo left in the shower. there was a total. of 5 forks left in the silverware drawer. 4 bags of trash was in the garage when we arrived. the upstairs private balcony was very dirty. Had yard workers show up thursday morning to cut the grass. the front door had a 1.5 inch gap on the hing side at the bottom and 3/4inch gap at the top opposite the hinges. it looked like the floor was rotting at the bottom of the from door due to water damage. the upstairs tub was slow draining. 1 kitchen towel. Hardly any dish washing liquid. For a house that was supposed to be "well equipped" was lacking much. the ice maker in the refrigerator could not keep enough ice for a total of 5 people. The positive is beautiful location. the kitchen knives were sharp. concrete driveway was good considering the steepness. Great view, nice and quiet area. Nice gaming table chairs were a little too high for it. But all in all we had a great time. The pictures are old, was disappointed that there was no coverd patio table, all decks and outside seating was dirty. Some of the things in the pictures like the breakfast table and chairs were different, the barstools were not the same pictured. I will not be using this property again because of misdirection and the place is not as discribed. Will not sleep 15 people, 13 at most.
3/4 inch gap at top of one side of door
1.5 inch gap at bottom of door on hinge side due to floor sinking water damage.

About the host

Hosted by Rebecca Norris

Host profile image

I am a local business owner, world traveler, and someone who genuinely enjoys meeting people from all walks of life. Through my travels, I have developed a deep appreciation for unique destinations, meaningful experiences, and the importance of creating spaces where people can truly relax and enjoy themselves.

One of my greatest passions is ballroom dancing and Argentine tango, which I admire for its elegance, connection, and timeless style. I also enjoy traveling, exploring new cultures, spending time on the water, and discovering the small details that make a place unforgettable.

I purchased this Lake Hamilton property in 2019 after falling in love with the peaceful setting, lake views, and sense of escape it offers while still being close to everything Hot Springs has to offer. My goal has always been to create more than just a vacation rental. I wanted to create a place where guests could gather, celebrate, unwind, and make lasting memories with the people they care about most.

As a host, I believe hospitality matters. I want guests to feel welcomed, comfortable, respected, and taken care of from the moment they arrive. Whether you are visiting for relaxation, adventure, boating, fishing, a family gathering, or a special occasion, I hope this property becomes a place you will always remember and want to return to again.

Why they chose this property

I chose this area because it offers the perfect combination of privacy, beauty, convenience, and adventure. The property is tucked inside a peaceful cove just off the main channel, which allows guests to enjoy quiet mornings and relaxing lake views while still being only minutes away from boating destinations, waterfront restaurants, entertainment, and the attractions of Hot Springs.

One of the things I love most about this neighborhood is how versatile it feels. Some days the lake is calm, and peaceful, perfect for relaxing on the deck and watching wildlife along the shoreline. Other days it is full of energy with boating, fishing, live music, and activity on the water. It truly captures the best parts of the Lake Hamilton lifestyle.

I also appreciate how close the property is to everything guests may want to experience during their stay, including Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort, local restaurants, hiking trails, shopping, marinas, and nightlife, while still feeling private and removed from the crowds.

For me, this neighborhood represents the perfect balance between relaxation and excitement, nature and luxury, privacy and connection.

What makes this property unique

What makes my property unique is the experience it offers. When I purchased this home, I wanted it to feel like more than just a place to stay. I wanted it to feel like a true lakeside retreat where guests could relax, reconnect, celebrate, and experience the beauty of Lake Hamilton in a memorable way.

One of the things I love most about this property is the balance between privacy and adventure. Nestled inside a peaceful cove, the home feels secluded and relaxing while still being just minutes away from boating destinations, waterfront restaurants, entertainment, and everything Hot Springs has to offer.

I also love the natural beauty and wildlife surrounding the property. It is common to see deer, foxes, squirrels, owls, water birds, turtles, and other native Arkansas wildlife throughout the area. The lake views, sunsets, peaceful mornings, and evening reflections on the water create an atmosphere that feels both relaxing and unforgettable.

Another thing that makes this property special is its versatility. It can be the perfect romantic getaway for couples, an upscale family vacation home, a boating and fishing retreat, or a gathering place for celebrations and special occasions. With spacious indoor and outdoor entertaining areas, multiple lakeview decks, private boat dock access, and resort-style amenities, guests can enjoy both quiet relaxation and adventure all in one place.

For me, this property has always been about creating experiences and memories people carry with them long after their stay is over.
