Great stay

Was a great stay overall. Only downside was we were hoping to float in the river every day but the water was extremely cold. Electricity went out for about 8 hours due to a fallen tree but didn’t impact our fun.

Beautiful stay

We loved our long weekend stay, and the river views are magical. The place had mostly everything we needed, and the host was super sweet and prompt for all communications, and also offered us late checkout. We would love to stay here again. Thank you.

Relaxation

Our stay was so relaxing. We enjoyed sitting on the deck, relaxing, and BBQ. Weather was nice and cool at night enough to enjoy the hot tub. We even got to see some deer! This place is beautiful with great view of the river. We will definitely be coming back.

A lovey stay

We had a fabulous time! The views were fantastic and the deck made for a shady spot to sit or another area was full sun if you wanted to catch more rays. The house was well stocked with kitchen supplies, towels and blankets. Overall I would highly recommend!!

Lake getaway

This house has everything you need for a relaxing getaway. It has lake access for canoeing and kayaking. We even jumped in the lake for a refreshing cold plunge and then warmed up in the hot tub. The deck provides an area to eat while enjoying the view of the lake. This was our 2nd time to stay and we will be back!

The family loved the stay. They enjoyed the view, sitting down on the patio, fishing, hot tub and the interior of the place. It was so peaceful and relaxing. Wifi didn't work but it was an issue with AT&T, still it was good to get disconnected :)

The Fish and Ski cabin was exactly what we were hoping for - a rustic river font hideaway that was still close enough to downtown Hot Springs for multiple trips a day. We loved the riverfront access, the view from the hot tub, and the craftsmanship of the cabin itself.

What a beautiful and unique cabin feel and look! We loved the detail of this place. Being right on the water was wonderful and the hot tub was also a huge plus. Susan was great! Very helpful with any questions and quick to respond. So glad we got the opportunity to stay here and would love to bring the family back when the grands are a little bigger.

About the host

Why they chose this property

Our Fish N Ski story begins with The Brodie Brothers dream in 1959. We have the original drawing from the brothers who began to design and work together on their retirement home on Lake Catherine. Unfortunately, they were not able to finish their dream. This property was left vacant and unfinished for almost 30 years. We were blessed to be able to purchase and complete this amazing property. After much thought and custom renovations we hope the brothers would appreciate The Brodie Fish N Ski Lodge as much as we have enjoyed making it special! A few of the their personal items have been used in furnishing and decorating their dream retreat.

What makes this property unique

Welcome to our Fish N Ski Lodge! You will find this beautiful property detailed and original! The stone and cedar exterior invites you into a warm wooden interior consisting of pecky cypress, cypress, cedar, pine, and oak. The Fish N Ski has 3 bedrooms, 2 and 1/2 baths and a bonus area with a sofa. This beautiful kitchen is fully equipped including new appliances. Our custom lodge has a log deck overlooking Lake Catherine and a boat dock. There is even a canoe and an outdoor fire pit on site for you to enjoy during your stay. You can enjoy the hot tub overlooking Lake Catherine after a full day of fun and adventure! This unique one of a kind hideaway is tucked away in a rural subdivision just 2 and 1/2 miles from Hot Springs National Park. We are convenient to downtown Hot Springs, Lake Hamilton, Garvin Woodlawn Gardens, Magic Springs and other area attractions.
