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.

Nice home close to everything you need and a bonus being on the lake

We all enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room for our group. The back deck was really nice and enjoyed our geese that visited everyday. We had a few issues at the beginning but the owner was easy to communicate with and very helpful. If you’re looking for a nice home within a short drive to everything and on the lake , this is definitely the place. Thank you for a wonderful stay :)

Custom built home with a great deck. Home is nestled in a quiet cove. Owner was prompt to replies. Very peaceful setting. A minutes drive to Sam’s Pizza, bar and restaurant. Big screen TV is nice. Hot tub was enjoyable.

Good location. Well stocked kitchen

The location was good for visiting Hot Springs National Park, Oaklawn and Garvan Gardens. It worked well for group of 4 couples. Only negative comment would be that it needed a good deep cleaning, base boards, walls and cabinets needed washing badly

It was a nice property. We enjoyed our stay. It was close to town, which made it nice. We thought it could have been a little cleaner, but overall a good place for family.

Great stay!! Perfect location

The house was perfect for what we needed. We loved being on the lake and being able to rent the boat for a day. The owner was very communicative and came early one morning to set everything up for the boat. Great trip!!

Christmas Getaway

Location was excellent. Short drive to all the places we wanted to see. Love that we were provided with fire log starters and plenty of firewood to burn along with other basics that you usually have to buy yourself (trash bags, toilet paper, soap). Loved the layout and spaciousness of the house Property could use some updating and deep cleaning. The hot tub was also not functioning properly which was very disappointing.since it’s one of the reasons we choose this location.

Girls Getsway ♥️

We throughly enjoyed our stay! We did most of our visiting and relaxing on the back deck which supplied a gorgeous sunset. The kitchen was nice and had a wrap around bar with seating . It was fun sipping on a glass of wine watching the meal being prepared . Cleanliness and yard maintenance could use a little attention but we still give it a 5 ⭐️

Great Stay! Great Location

We had an amazing stay, location was great and easy to get to and quiet but close to everything we wanted to do. Access to the boat was a huge plus. We had 6 adults and were all comfortable and plenty of room to hang out together and quiet time away. Highly recommend; and we will be booking again.

This was the summer getaway we were hoping for! The home was plenty big for our entire group to spread out and relax. A quick drive to everywhere that we wanted to go in Hot Springs. Jim was attentive and quick to respond to any questions we had. Would definitely recommend!
