About this property

The WindWalker on Lake Hamilton - Kayak and Paddle Board Fun on the Lake!

Our remodeled lake cottage sits on a quiet cove that overlooks beautiful Lake Hamilton. The WindWalker greets you with relaxing vibes and a serene decor of blues and grays. Sitting out on the deck at night surrounding the fire pit and looking out over all of the lights on the lake is mesmerizing. The cottage is in a quiet residential neighborhood, yet it is just minutes from the shopping, dining, and tourist attractions that Hot Springs, Arkansas has to offer.

Beyond Expectation!

My sister and I both agree that this is by far the best rental either of us have stayed in! The house smelled amazing when we walked in and was basically spotless! One of the many things we enjoyed was how THOROUGH the binders were that told us all about Hot Springs. I’ve never stayed somewhere that had such a detailed “things to do “. The beds were comfy and there were plenty of extra pillows and blankets. The porch was great to sit on at night with the fire pit going while sippin hot cocoa. I wish I could list every little thing that Lisa did to make our stay amazing but it’s just too much! My top 3 would have to be : 1. The homemade bread Lisa made 2. The fire pit 3. The wireless charger in each bedroom We will definitely return if we come back to Hot Springs!

Beautiful Place with a Beautiful View!

Super clean and cozy place on the lake with an amazing view. We had everything we needed and more. It was extra nice to have kayaks right there waiting for us. The area is very quiet and peaceful but not far from good restaurants. Lisa went above and beyond as we left tackle boxes there and she is mailing them to us. Highly recommend! We hope to visit again!

Well stocked and very organized

Property was the most organized and well stocked of any VRBO we have ever stayed at. Very relaxing and quiet neighborhood. Only negative I would have to say is the narrow steep driveway, difficult for larger trucks.

Lisa’s vacation rental is clean, comfortable, and stocked with everything you probably forgot at home. She’s extremely responsive and answered any questions we had. Great house for our short family trip to Hot Springs, and our boys loved using the kayaks.

Very Beautiful place

Loved the decor very cute cabin. The Host made sure there was everything in the place we needed! Loved the deck over looking the water. Only 1 downfall driveway steep and neighbor fences makes alittle hard & not enough room for our big boat wish we have known to make arrangements ahead of time but it worked out. Would definitely stay here again though!!!!

Perfection is an understatement

This property is above and beyond the description. The property was immaculate, organized and prepared. We left that property saying that we wish everywhere were stayed was this clean and organized. The location is perfect for all aspects of the local life. We felt safe and secure. We will be staying again sooner than later.

Perfect place for a little get away for my boyfriend and I. There was not one thing that the host, Lisa, missed when having this home ready for our two night three day stay. The home is stocked with everything you could think of. Very clean and very organized. We are finally home and are still talking about our stay.

About the host

Hosted by LISA WALKER

Host profile image
Hello! We are Lisa and Robby Walker. We have lived in Hot Springs, AR and enjoyed Lake Hamilton for the past 30 years. As natives of coastal North Carolina, we are a couple that loves the water, sun, and cool breezes. Thus, it only made sense to name our renovated lake cottage The WindWalker!
We have taken much pride in creating a relaxing temporary home for you to enjoy. Hot Springs has so much to offer. You can play ALL DAY or simply relax on the deck and enjoy the cool breezes, a good book, and a refreshing drink.
Thank you for being our guest!

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Unfortunately, there is always SOMEONE who disrespects house rules and makes it difficult for others. And yes, we too have met them at The WindWalker...

Please know that The WindWalker is PERFECT for 1 - 2 couples or a small family of 4. The MAXIMUM number of guests is 4. An additional charge of $100 PER person/PER night has been implemented to discourage bringing in additional guests without permission.

Likewise, some people purposefully seek out PET-FREE homes. This IS a pet free home.
An additional cleaning charge of $250 will be collected if proof is found that you allowed pets in against the house rules.

We work hard to provide the cleanest SMOKE-FREE home for your vacation. In most cases, the owner cleans and/or does the final walkthrough inspection before guests arrive. Thank you in advance for respecting these 3 very important house rules.

Why they chose this property

What is better than a beautiful lake cottage on Lake Hamilton in Hot Springs?? Come to The WindWalker for a purely relaxing retreat or as a respite during your fast-paced Hot Springs time of fun!

What makes this property unique

The dock leading to cove/lake

A beautiful deck with firepit for enjoying each other's company, reading, or enjoying morning coffee or evening cocktails

LAKE UPDATE:

Beginning Nov. 1 annually, Entergy uses varying drawdowns on Lake Hamilton. The purpose of the drawdown is to control the spread of certain underwater plants that interfere with recreation. Because the depth of the water in our cove is only 5 feet deep, the cove is either very shallow [or dry] from November to March. You can, however, still enjoy the sights and lights on the lake's main channel from the covered deck.

We always look forward to March 1 when the normal water levels resume!

BOATING OPTIONS: We are now able to provide 3 single-person sit-in kayaks, 1 tandem (2-person) sit-on kayak, 1 Standup Paddleboard (SUP), USCG approved life jackets, emergency whistles, and waterproof mobile phone cases through a nominally priced "rental program." The flat-fee charge is $50 for 1-2-night rentals, $65 for 3 nights or $80 for a 4 (or more) night rental. This fee covers the unlimited use of the "full flotilla" for the duration of your stay. All guests MUST also sign a liability waiver.

The rental and use of the kayaks are TOTALLY OPTIONAL and you will not be charged unless you specifically request the use them.

Party Barge rentals are prevalent on Lake Hamilton. Contact me for pricing/location information.

You are welcome to bring your own boat on a trailer. A public launching dock is only about a mile away. You may park your trailer in the driveway or up by the curb in the front. There is an uncovered dock in our very quiet cove that you may tie up to during your stay.

There are NO jet ski rentals allowed on Lake Hamilton. You may ride jet skis if you bring them and launch them yourself, however.

As always with all water sports---swim and boat with caution!

The WindWalker is centrally located - such an easy and fast trip to all of the tourist sites that Hot Springs has to offer.
