Response from VrboOwner on 2 August 2024
We're sorry you weren't happy with the layout of the cabin. We were happy to give you a full refund. And we can't change the design now that the cabin is already built. Could you please remove the three star review? It's unfortunate that you didn't find our property acceptable to your needs but a three star review is very hurtful to us. We strive to make all our guests happy. Thank you for your consideration.

About the host

Hosted by Rebecca Norris

Host profile image
I am a longtime local business owner, real estate investor, and passionate traveler whose love for hospitality was shaped through years of exploring the world. From scuba diving in exotic waters to discovering hidden destinations and unforgettable conversations across continents, I have developed a deep appreciation for experiences that feel both inspiring and personal.
A devoted ballroom dancer with a special love for Argentine tango, I understand the beauty of atmosphere, connection, and intention. Every property I create reflects that same spirit, welcoming, elevated, and thoughtfully designed with comfort in mind.
I believe vacation time is sacred. Guests are not simply booking a place to stay; they are investing their time, trust, and memories into an experience. That belief influences every detail, from the amenities chosen to the feeling guests have the moment they walk through the door.
For me, true hospitality is simple: treat people exceptionally well, create spaces worth remembering, and make every stay feel like it matters.

Why they chose this property

Nestled along the peaceful shores of Lake Hamilton, this neighborhood offers the kind of calm that’s becoming harder to find. Located in a quiet no-wake zone, the atmosphere here is slow-paced, relaxing, and ideal for unwinding by the water without the noise and traffic of busy lake areas. Guests can enjoy gentle lake views, the sounds of nature, and beautiful sunsets in a safe, secluded setting designed for rest and connection. The nearby waterfall features and tranquil surroundings create a true retreat experience while still being just minutes from Hot Springs dining, shopping, and entertainment.

What makes this property unique

The Cedar is part of the larger Hot Springs Getaways at Hamilton Cove collection, a growing lakeside retreat featuring nearly 20 cabins and gathering spaces designed for unforgettable stays and special events. Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, anniversary trip, family reunion, girls’ weekend, or future wedding celebration, the property offers a unique blend of private cabin charm and resort-style potential. Guests love the peaceful lake atmosphere, the cozy country-inspired design, and the ability to book multiple cabins together for group experiences while still enjoying privacy and relaxation.
