Wonderful stay at this cute little cottage! The back porch overlooking the water was secluded and serene. We had everything we needed. Host stayed in touch and provided a welcome book with lots of recommendations for restaurants and things to do. Would definitely come back!

What a great property! The location is excellent and right on the water! We had so much fun using the communal kayaks! The cabin was very clean and functional!The only thing to note (and this does NOT effect my rating, as this is a personal preference): the bed is very low to the ground and does not have much support for older backs. So if you have mobility issues, especially problems with your knees, you might look at one of the other properties from this owner!Overall, 5/5 stay, we will definitely be back to Cape Catherine!!!

Had a great time enjoying some of what the area offers, I recommend this for a couples get away. Only issue we had was the drain in the bathtub and sink were slow to drain. This is a great place overall.

Perfect peninsula place.

It was nice to be surrounded by water. The geese were entertaining just by themselves. The cabin was a quick access to Garvan gardens and super easy to get to town. The place was clean and pretty much well maintained. Will stay again.

Wonderful place to stay. Water all around!

Just came to Hot Springs to visit a friend in The Belvedere. Enjoyed the botanical Garden close by the rental. It was very clean, comfortable and pleasant. Disappointed we couldn’t buy a bottle of wine on Sunday but we did okay without it. Deck very nice.

Great for a weekend

My husband and I had such a great time at the cottage on Cape Catherine. The place was super charming and peaceful, and had everything we needed for the weekend. Being on a peninsula surrounded by water was amazing—we had water views from every window. We loved hanging out on the loungers in the back, relaxing on the covered porch with our coffee every morning. The private dock was awesome for sitting and fishing. It was close to all the attractions but just far enough to avoid the crowds. We can’t wait to go back!

The house was clean and very nice. The neighbor hood was quiet and peaceful. The only thing ( and this does not affect the house or host) the bed was too low to the floor for us old folks, and it felt like you sunk into the mattress a lot. But this is a very good place to stay and relax.

Relaxing at the lake.

Love the layout of the cottage. Not too small and not too large, wonderful kitchen, Weber Grill on back patio was great for grilling shrimp with a view of the water. Clean, comfortable and easy to relax. Definitely recommend and we will return to it again.

Relaxing getaway

The Cottage on Cape Catherine was lovely! The cottage was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. Situated on a peninsula, we could go out the front door or the back door to access the lake—so cool! We fished, used their kayaks and paddle board, sat on the patios, and relaxed in this peaceful setting. It was our home base as we went to Hot Springs, Lake Catherine State Park, and the Garvin Woodland Gardens. Laura quickly and helpfully answered all our questions. We would highly recommend the cottage!

Pollen

The property was very nice inside. I question the Host definition of "sanitized." "Trash has to be taken out. Dirty dishes had to be washed or put in the dishwasher." Too many REQUIREMENTS for a few days stay. Numerous geese abound along with geese feces. And pollen was everywhere even the patio. We would have appreciated pollen removal from the patio and furniture. "Any moved furniture has to be put back in it's original place since personnel do not move furniture."

We loved our stay at the cottage, which was clean with plenty of space. We enjoyed kayaking from the front and back decks, grilling hot dogs on the grill, and listening to/ watching the geese. Good hiking and dining around nearby Hot Springs.
