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 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!

James, the host, is very accomodating. We had a great stay. The views were beautiful and the house floor plan was very comfortable. We enjoyed making pop corn from the "movie style" pop corn maker. Unfortunately, the hot tub wasn't working which James tried to get someone to fix it.

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 :)
