Beautiful Home on the River

The home was clean and had plenty of space for a family of 5. Communication with the owners was excellent and the house was well stocked. Convenient location for downtown Hot Springs and Oaklawn. Great location if you're planning to take a boat or kayak on the river.

Nice place

Would stay again. Pictures were accurate. Plenty of space. Beds were comfortable. It’s a rental so some of the pots and pans had a good bit of wear and tear from people not taking care of them. We only made a few simple meals there, so not a big deal for us. It was fun kayaking in the lake. Had a variety of life jacket sizes in the garage. Most things we did the in area were within a 20 minute drive.

Relaxing

Beautiful home, very cozy. The water was too low, and we were unable to use the kayaks. But understandably not the owners fault. Other than that, we had an excellent laid back, long weekend. We watched movies, fished and went to the Local restaurant "Crawfish Hole" highly recommend

Birthday getaway

Property is as described. It was very peaceful and relaxing. The communication was great. The hosts had essentials in the home to get you started from soap to dishwashing liquid. I appreciated the security cameras being there but also that they did not encroach on your privacy. Would definitely stay again.

Again and again

This is our 3rd year at Lake Hamilton and the house did not disappoint. I would actually say it keeps getting better. The owners are attentive to the maintenance of the home and it’s easy for a family to enjoy. It’s convenient to fishing and Hot Springs National Park.

Beautiful vacation home!!

This house was so beautiful and the kids loved it as well!! Had a fun atmosphere for kids but also a nice relaxing atmosphere for adults. We loved being so close to the water where the kids could fish and kayak. Definitely a great place to relax and hang out with family. Highly recommend!

Father / Son Fishing Trip

Communication with Doug and Lita was seamless and they were very responsive. Check in and out of the property was easy. The location of the property is central to everything such as putt putt golf, solid restaurants like 501 Prime and Fisherman’s Wharf, and also world class Striper fishing. The house itself has very amenity you need to have a comfortable stay and they were kind enough to provide enough toilet paper, trash bags, and paper towels to last for all 4 of our nights. If you step out the back door to the dock, you can sit and fish for perch, but not much else. My son and I took advantage of the kayaks and they worked great and had no issues. If I had to mention one negative, the internet in the house is a little finicky but we made it work. Would stay here again.

Minutes from everything

This is a very clean place setup for a family. It is 15 minutes away from the park and dam. 20 minutes from the off-road park and 10 minutes from much more. Fishing was fun from kayaks and dock. Quiet dead end road.

Total Solar Eclipse April 2024

It really was perfect. The house was clean, comfortable, and included so many fun options to do. The hosts were generous and responsive. We saw wildlife, caught fish, kayaked and canoed. The water was clear and really cold but that didn't stop some of us from jumping in! We experienced the total Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024 right in the back yard.

Beautiful Spring Break Fishing and Kayaking Experience

We had an absolutely fantastic time at this place and would 100% recommend it to anyone else. We were most impressed with how clean the place was kept and how the house reflected exactly what we saw in the pictures. There were so many fun things to do at the house and in the area within a short 15 minute drive. My daughter even caught a huge chain pickerel right off the dock! By far the nicest house we’ve stayed at for a vacation rental. The owner was very responsive to any needs or questions we had as well.

Perfect getaway!

Property was just as described! Clean, updated and had everything that we needed. Great location on the river. Water was very clear and we saw lots of perch and bass. Really enjoyed our time on the dock in the evenings. Used the kayaks as well. The king bed was very comfortable. About 20 minutes from Hot Springs, which had lots of restaurant options. Would definitely recommend this house! There was just two of us staying, but it would be great for families too.

About the host

Hosted by Doug and Lita Wodall

Host profile image
I was born and grew up in Central Arkansas area, my wife is from Hawaii, we moved to Arkansas right after we got married, we raised our children in the Little Rock area. We both love to travel, and have gone to countries in North and Central America, Europe, Asia and all over the U.S. We love the beaches especially in Florida and Hawaii.

Why they chose this property

Our families' favorite memories are going to the lakes in Hot Springs with friends and family, our children loved water skiing, wake boarding, tubing, and boating as they were growing up. As a Residential Home Builder, I had the opportunity to design a home on a lakefront property, and now our grandchildren can have similar memories as when their parents were growing up. We hope that our guests can also have the fun, and relaxing getaway that we have whenever we are here too.
While you're here you can enjoy the beautiful Garvan Woodland Gardens, Oaklawn, Magic Springs, Mid America Science Museum, Bath House Row, Historic Downtown Hot Springs, and hunt for crystals, or even precious diamonds at the only public diamond mine in the world.
Of course you don't even need to leave the property to enjoy yourself, there's fishing right off our private dock, or kayak fishing, and swimming of course. If you like fishing for trout, its only 5 minutes away by boat towards the dam, its also great for striper bass fishing, we caught a trophy size 46 inches, 40 lbs striper bass, it was caught only 5 minutes away from our house on the lake.
Because of our love for waterfront properties, we wanted our home to have views of the lake, not just from outside of the home but from inside too. When we travel we love to go antiquing, we have some pieces in our décor. We hope our guests enjoy the eclectic décor mixed in with the modern.
