20th Anniversary getaway

The property was very nice and in a quiet area where we were able to rest and enjoy our time together. It was close enough to Hot Springs and the lake that there was plenty of things to do.

My name is Laura. I am native to central Arkansas. I have spent most of my life visiting Lake Catherine. I enjoy spending time with my family golfing, vacationing and relaxing outdoors.

Why they chose this property

The Lookout is a great house to get away for a weekend or a week, or even longer! Everything you need is here. Relaxing on the deck surrounded by nature is a great way to unwind. The fenced in yard is great for your pet. Enjoy an afternoon or evening in the hot tub as well!
