About this property
Beehive: Lakefront, Dock, Kayaks, Firepit, Pets
Welcome to "The Beehive"—your sweet spot on Lake Hamilton! This charming, pet-friendly lakefront retreat is designed for families, friends, and fur babies looking to buzz away from the daily grind.
Located in a quiet cove just minutes from Hot Springs’ main attractions, The Beehive offers the best of both worlds: peaceful water views and easy access to the action. Spend your days paddling off your private swim dock with our complimentary kayaks, grilling on the patio, or roasting s'mores around the firepit under the stars.
Inside, you'll find a bright, modern "bee-themed" haven with King beds, smart entertainment, and all the comforts of home. Whether you are here for the horse racing at Oaklawn, hiking the National Park, or just floating the day away, The Beehive is the perfect place to land.
The Space
-- THE VIBE -- Newly refreshed with a nod to our name, The Beehive features cheerful decor, modern furniture, and an open-concept layout that brings everyone together. Large windows frame the lake views, flooding the living area with natural light.
-- BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS -- We comfortably sleep up to 6 guests across two spacious bedrooms.
Bedroom 1 (Primary): King Size Bed, en-suite bathroom, and plenty of closet space.
Bedroom 2 (Family Room): King Size Bed + Double Bed. This room is perfect for a second couple or a family with kids who want to room together.
Bathrooms: 2 Full Bathrooms stocked with fresh towels, hand soap, and hair dryers.
-- THE KITCHEN & DINING -- The heart of the home! Our spacious kitchen is fully equipped for the chef in your group.
Stainless steel appliances (fridge, stove/oven, microwave, dishwasher).
Coffee station (Keurig & Drip).
Cookware, bakeware, dishes, and utensils provided.
Dining table and breakfast bar seating so you can chat while you cook.
-- OUTDOOR LIVING -- This is why you come to the lake!
Private Dock: Park your boat or use it as a swim platform (seasonal water levels apply—Lake Hamilton is drawn down Nov–March, but the view remains beautiful!).
Kayaks: 2 Adult kayaks + water floats are included free of charge (don't forget life jackets!).
Firepit: A private fire ring in the yard for evening bonfires.
Patio: Features outdoor seating and a gas grill for BBQ nights.
The Yard: A grassy lawn sloping gently to the water—perfect for the dogs to stretch their legs.
-- TECHNOLOGY & EXTRAS --
High-Speed WiFi: Perfect for streaming or remote work.
Smart TV: Log into your favorite streaming apps (Netflix, Hulu, etc.).
Laundry: Full-size washer and dryer in the unit.
Pet Friendly: We welcome dogs! (Please bring waste bags and keep them off furniture).
Guest Access
You will have exclusive, private access to the entire home, yard, and dock.
Parking: Free driveway parking is available for up to 2 vehicles (plus room for a boat trailer if needed).
Entry: Secure, keyless entry code provided before arrival for a seamless check-in.
Location & Neighborhood
The Beehive is located on the highly desirable Lake Hamilton in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
On the Water: We are in a "no-wake" zone cove, meaning the water is calm and safe for swimming and kayaking without heavy boat traffic.
Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort: ~10-minute drive.
Hot Springs National Park / Bathhouse Row: ~15-minute drive.
Magic Springs Theme Park: ~20-minute drive.
Grocery & Dining: Harps Food Store and local restaurants are just a few minutes away by car.
Other Things to Note
Lake Levels: Like all properties on Lake Hamilton, water levels are lowered by the power company annually from November 1st to March 1st. During this time, the dock may rest on the lakebed, but the yard and firepit are still fully enjoyable!
Safety: Life jackets are provided, but guests use the lake and watercraft at their own risk.
Pets: We love hosting pets! A pet fee applies to cover additional cleaning. Please ensure your furry friends are house-trained.
Book your stay at The Beehive today and make memories that stick!

Why they chose this property
Why Stay at The Beehive?
Choosing a vacation rental is about finding the right balance between location, comfort, and character. Here is why The Beehive is the "sweetest" choice for your Hot Springs getaway:
1. The Perfect Lake Location (Quiet Cove vs. Busy Channel) Unlike homes right on the main channel of Lake Hamilton, which can be noisy and choppy with heavy boat traffic, The Beehive sits in a peaceful, protected cove. This is a huge advantage for families and relaxation seekers: the water here is calm, making it much safer for swimming off the private dock and easier for paddling on our complimentary kayaks. You get the stunning views without the wake!
2. Unbeatable Sleeping Arrangements We know that sleep quality matters on vacation. Many rentals squeeze guests into small beds, but we prioritized comfort. You will find King Size Beds in BOTH bedrooms, ensuring that all adults in your group get a restful night's sleep.
3. Truly Pet Friendly We don't just tolerate pets; we welcome them! We know that a lake trip isn't complete without your four-legged family members. The gentle slope of our grassy yard down to the water is perfect for dogs to explore while you relax by the firepit.
4. Memorable Design Forget generic, beige rentals. We have embraced our name with a modern, cheerful "Beehive" theme. The space is bright, clean, and full of personality—providing a fun backdrop for your vacation photos and a vibe that feels like a true escape from the ordinary.
5. Close to Everything You feel secluded by the water, but you are surprisingly close to the action.
Oaklawn Racing Casino: ~10 minutes
Bathhouse Row & National Park: ~15 minutes
Grocery & Dining: ~5 minutes
Whether you are here to bet at the track, hike the mountains, or just float the day away, The Beehive is your perfect landing spot.

What makes this property unique
Unique Benefits: What Makes "The Beehive" Special?
When you book The Beehive, you aren't just renting a house; you are securing a private lakeside experience packed with extras that other listings charge for. Here is why guests choose us over other Lake Hamilton rentals:
1. Calm Water in a "No-Wake" Cove Many lake rentals are on the main channel, where constant boat traffic creates choppy waves and noise. The Beehive is tucked into a peaceful, protected cove.
The Benefit: The water is calm and glass-like, making it safer for swimming off the dock and perfect for paddling without fighting boat wakes.
2. Adventure Gear Included ($0 Extra) Renting kayaks at the local marina adds up quickly.
The Benefit: We include 2 adult kayaks, paddles, and life jackets completely free. Launch right from your backyard whenever you want—sunrise paddles are a guest favorite!
3. King Beds for Everyone It is rare to find a 2-bedroom rental where everyone gets the "good room."
The Benefit: Both the Primary Bedroom and the Guest Room feature King Size Beds. No one has to sacrifice comfort, making this ideal for two couples traveling together.
4. A Yard Made for Gathering Some lake houses have steep, dangerous stairs leading to the water.
The Benefit: Our property features a gentle, grassy slope down to the lake. It is easy to navigate for kids, dogs, and grandparents. We’ve maximized this space with a private firepit—the perfect spot to roast marshmallows under the stars.
5. Perfect Location Balance You get the seclusion of the lake without the isolation.
The Benefit: You are a quick 10-15 minute drive to the historic Bathhouse Row and Oaklawn Racing Casino. It is the perfect home base for exploring Hot Springs.
6. Pet-Friendly & Accessible We don't just "allow" pets; the property is designed for them. The easy yard access and durable flooring make for a stress-free trip with your furry best friend.
