About this property

The Lake House on Lake Hamilton

We have been listing with VRBO for over 15 years and have a proven track record. The Lake House has the most beautiful view of Lake Hamilton and is located right on the water with over 100 feet of lake frontage. You will not find a more peaceful and secluded location and yet you are only 30 minutes away from downtown Hot Springs, horse racing, and all that a resort town has to offer. We have a strict limit of no more than 4 adults and 2 kids (but kids must be 12 years or younger).

The lake house is 1,200 sq. ft. with 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, large living room and dining area. The living room and dining room have French doors that open onto a 550 foot wood deck which over looks the lake. Please note that the living room area faces the lake and there are no houses on that side so we opted not to place any curtains or blinds on those windows to allow for better views and more light. It is very private. There are blinds and/or curtains in all other rooms. Bedrooms have king and queen sized beds. A futon is located in the living area that will sleep two. The house is well maintained with central air, washer/dryer, and fully equipped kitchen. A 2 car detached garage is located at the front of the property. On the waterfront we have a large covered boat dock with a 300 foot deck area where you can sit back, relax and enjoy a drink as you look out over the water.

This property allows the best of both worlds. Get out of town to be in the country, yet have all the comforts of home as well as all that a city has to offer less than thirty minutes away by boat or car. Something for the entire family: Dad’s off to the horse races, the kids go for a dip in the lake, mom relaxes on the deck with a cold glass of lemonade while grandma fishes and grandpa strolls under the Arkansas Pines. Everyone needs to get away and there is no better place than our little piece of paradise.

For our winter guests, please note: The lake is lowered in the winter months beginning November 1st and raised again at the beginning of March. It's usually lowered anywhere from one to three feet. The lake will resemble more of a river and there is no water under the dock in winter. However, it is still beautiful and even more peaceful.

We have resisted cable or Wi-Fi at all of our homes and we have never gotten a complaint about someone missing it. In fact, we have heard the opposite—that it was nice to get away from the internet. It also helps us to save on costs which is reflected in our rates. We know that the lack of that modern convenience may be a necessity, and we understand if our place isn't right for you. However, we do get great cell coverage and one can tether to a phone if needed. We do have a nice collection of "old school" VHS tapes and DVD's.

Fabulous lake house
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Lake Hamilton for the viewing of the solar eclipse. The dock was hang out central for fishing, paddle boats, and relaxing. Interior and patio furniture could use a little updating. The grill is small and uses charcoal. It would also have been nice to have more than 2 dishwasher pods and some foil or cling wrap. We loved the yard and view which more than made up for all the minor inconveniences. The host was also very pleasant and responsive. Would recommend this VRBO.

Perfect long weekend
This property was perfect for a nice quiet fall getaway. Enjoyed an evening fire in the fire pit, the lakeside dock, and all the comforts of this beautiful home. Highly recommend as a homebase for a great weekend.

Long Weekend Getaway
We were very impressed with the house and access to the lake. Had intended to visit Hot Springs, but found the lakeside house and dock so peaceful that we never made it into town.

About the host

Hosted by Jeff Hicks

Host profile image
I'm an author and songwriter as well as a real estate professional. I have published two full length novels, two children's books, and two plays which can be found on Amazon: J. Suthern Hicks (author). I'm also a songwriter for the band Seven Years located in Los Angeles California Although I currently reside in California, my heart will always remain in Arkansas and that's why I purchased this 'dream' home on the lake with my family, whom all still reside in the Hot Springs area. We are happy to share this peaceful place on the planet with people who appreciate nature and beauty.

Why they chose this property

When I started looking for a lake house, I had no idea what to expect. I looked at a lot of 'so called' lake properties that were either not on the lake at all or were perhaps more on a creek. Once I walked into this house and saw the view, I knew it was the place for me. I fell in love with it immediately. Unfortunately, the owners were not listing it for sale for another whole year. Luckily, when multiple offers came in on the first listing day, they gave me priority. I could travel almost anywhere in the world with my flexible schedule, but I find myself always coming back to the Lake House. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
