About this property

Lake Hamilton Cottage Near Oaklawn Racing

Plan your Oaklawn race weekend from a quiet Lake Hamilton cottage just minutes from the track. Spend the day at Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort, then come back to lake views, a full kitchen, covered parking, and a peaceful private peninsula away from the hotel corridor.

The view is the star here: Mount Riante in the distance, main-channel Lake Hamilton water, and a due-south exposure that usually brings a nice breeze. We are just outside the Hot Springs city limits, so you are close to restaurants, downtown Hot Springs, Bathhouse Row, Oaklawn, marinas, and lake activities without feeling crowded.

Summer guests can use the boat dock, with a marina a few hundred yards away for gas. Put in at Hill Wheatley Park, then hop across the main channel to the cottage dock. Covered parking is available for your vehicle or boat trailer. The driveway is steep, so boaters should launch before arriving at the cottage.

This is a good fit for Oaklawn weekends, lake trips, quiet Hot Springs getaways, and guests who want a private place to unwind after a day in town.

Cabin and lake were excellent. Very clean. We would gladly stay there again! Great location. We hiked parks, went to botnical garden, and historic downtown, all with short drive. Caution if you have low riding car or weak vehicle may have difficulty getting to and from the cabin.

We could have stayed for a lot longer! If you need R and R this is the place! This cabin is tucked up in the trees with a great view of Lake Hamilton from the deck and every room. Just 15 or so steps down to the boat dock where we fished a couple days. It was a peaceful get away from the hustle and bustle of the city life. So much to see and do in the area. Visited Bathhouse Row even enjoyed the historical bath experience, hiked West Mountain, and a few trails below Hot Springs Tower. Drove out to Mount Ida to look for crystals, found a few at Crystal Vista but trust me there are tons of them out there.

Property was great, very relaxing. Only downside was the glass door to bedrooms needs some type of curtain installed. No sleep in due to light coming in. The only shower was super tiny but doable. Everything was provided, plenty of bedding, towels, dishes. Be prepared for the steep driveway!! loved it, would stay again.

Thank you, glad you had a good time. We have a blind for the door, it just got there too late to install before your stay. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to keep blinds in working order as they are constantly being broken.

Nothing to complain about. The home was easy to find and we were all so impressed with the home itself along with the neighborhood it's in. The view is absolutely breathtaking. Pictures do not do this place justice. We felt right at home. My husband and myself along with an oldest son (38) and a 12 year old grandson spent the weekend here. My son stayed on either the porch or the deck most of the time while we were there and the grandson wanted to swim the whole time. Our two dogs loved the view from the big windows. This is my new favorite home away from home. From sunset til after dark, we all sat outside and enjoyed the early morning sunrise along with a cup of coffee and watching early risers out on the water with their boats. After dark was just as beautiful from the lights from all around the lake from other homes and boats out after dark. We saw the same geese family every day and little turtle heads popping up out of the water and occasionally fish letting us know they were out there. This place was just amazing and very peaceful. Everything was perfect. We didn't want to leave. Until the next time, we plan to return. Thank you Chris and Lisa.

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!

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.
