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 in the peaceful Hamilton Cove area of Lake Hamilton, this neighborhood offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and convenience. Guests enjoy a quiet lakeside atmosphere away from heavy boat traffic thanks to the nearby no-wake zone, creating a relaxing environment perfect for couples, families, and special occasions. While it feels secluded and tucked away among the trees, you’re still just minutes from Hot Springs attractions, dining, shopping, and entertainment. The calm waters, mature trees, and peaceful surroundings make this one of our favorite places to unwind and reconnect.
