The home was lovely and there was plenty of space for our group of 12. The kayaks were a hit. The lake was calm and peaceful. The neighborhood was quiet. The kitchen had everything you need.

Family Treasure
This was the first time we had ever attempted as a family to rent/lease a space where we could all be under one roof together... And the days together just seemed to stack gift upon gift. The first gift: reviews said this home might have a fishy smelly fridge, so we came prepared to, upon arrival, dive into cleaning onsite appliances. This was unnecessary as they had already rectified this customer observation ;o) The next gift: everyone loved their bedrooms especially the kids. They had a tabletop game to figure out and fall back to in case there were ever down times in exploring the area around us. The next gift: the decks were absolutely wonderful! offering privacy, fellowship, space for play time. The house had wonderful windows & lighting... as a matter of fact we could even keep an eye on brothers & sisters on the deck from inside at times when we were playing with others inside. By far not the last gift, but I suppose I should close somewhere ;O) A deck pillow blew off in an unexpected storm not long after a neighbor from across the cove brought it to the house saying they found it on their retainment wall. Other neighbors walked by daily and offered kindness to us without fail. Convenient, safe, fun, quiet... thank you for our time together... something our family will treasure ;o) The Tripletts, Whitentons & Cowarts

Quiet
Home was clean, except the fridge had a smell of fish, but it is a lake house. Quiet cove on the backside of lake Catherine. Just a heads up about the neighborhood, it's not the fancy part of town but again the house was large, comfortable and great for large family. Seemed like it may have been only rental in the area, local homes around us. We enjoyed our stay

Fun stay
The location of this house was great! Private area not overly crowded. The house was cute and located right on the water. We were able to check in earlier than 4 which made it nice. I feel like the cleaning crew didnt clean good more of a sweep through clean. The refrigerator smelled like fish. The dryer door 6 broken and we had to use a broom to hold it shut. The handy man was suppose to show up to fix it but never showed up. The back door to the seck off of kitchen needs fixed it does not close all they way. So if it does not get locked gnats come into the house like crazy. I felt like the deck could have been swpt or blown off and the patio table was very dirty. The cN opener was broke. So we had to borrow neighbors. We did buy one and left. Overall stay we had fun! Right on the lake family friendly. I would stay again

Beautiful property and lake. We liked the open floor plan and supplies. Beach towels & games plenty. Kayaks & floats with a safe place to keep them. Beds were to firm for me but all I need is a good pillow. They have great pillows!

Great time with some issues.
House is enormous, quiet deadend street, and very nice amenities. Family loved it and everyone said how much they’d love to live there. The downfalls-the fridge and freezer smelled horrible like old fish. Contacted the property “liaison” and they said sorry we normally clean better. House smelled a little of mildew, but it’s on a lake. The major issue was the ladder on the dock. The bottom was rusted away and had both ends razor sharp. So bad in fact my son had to have stitches. I contacted the point of contact who gave me some story about the owner never having issues. Well I’m glad for the owner but that needs fixed immediately. The hospital trip and ruining my sons time in the water was a major issue. Once those items are fixed I’d highly recommend this home. Til then I’d have to say no.

Perfectly Relaxing
This was the perfect home!! SO MUCH ROOM inside and out! All rooms and furniture were comfortably accommodating-including the outdoor seating and decks. Loved the three levels of party lights, and even in the heat of the day we could enjoy coffee outside and take in the quiet and calm of the lake. Directly across from Lake Catherine State Park and boat rentals, we were able to take the kayaks across quicker than we could drive. Swimming and fishing right off the dock was ideal, and right outside the cove is deep water. There’s a nice sand bar a little ways up that we enjoyed on our boating day along with the beautiful scenery including lots of geese! Located close to everything-anything you could want to do in Hot Springs is just a short drive away. The home is equipped with everything you could possibly need inside and out!! No matter which room you are in-you will love it… but the master bedroom is to die for!! We especially enjoyed some very intense games of hide and seek at night-quite possibly the favorite of all the games played in this home! Cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed this home-three adults and four children of all ages and we had a blast! Host was easily available although we had everything we could possibly need!

It was a GREAT family experience
We took our grandchildren and our son. There was so much room! A big kitchen with all the amenities!! Double Keurig coffee pot for Pods or drip coffee. Lots of pots and pans and baking essentials. You can literally cook anything in the kitchen..even an ice cream maker!! TV in every room, great sleeping experience with comfy beds. We loved the back patio for sitting with family for breakfast overlooking the lake! The grand kids had a blast jumping off the dock into the cool water. We rented a boat just across the lake, so you can drive right up to the dock. We went to town and had fabulous pizza at Grateful Head Pizza downtown. Best pizza ever! Can't say enough about the experience. It was perfect!

Spectacular place!!!
This place was awesome! The environment was very peaceful and fun! Great for the family. If you bring food you never have to leave. We enjoyed several great outdoor days on the lake! We grilled on the deck, made s’mores by the fire pit and even enjoyed some fun rides on the kayaks. Will definitely be returning!!!!
