About this property

Upscale Lake Retreat on Large Private Lot, Expansive Deck, Boat Dock & Hot Tub!

Welcome to your perfect lakefront escape!

Tucked away in the peaceful and private Little Mazarn area of Lake Hamilton, this beautifully designed one-story retreat offers the perfect blend of comfort, luxury, and natural charm.

Step inside and discover four spacious bedrooms and four full bathrooms, thoughtfully curated with a professional touch. The master suite is a true sanctuary, complete with stunning lake views, a luxurious custom shower, and a deep, relaxing soaker tub. In the main living area, a stacked-stone fireplace and vaulted wood ceilings create an inviting rustic-modern feel — the ideal place to unwind after a day on the water.

Outside, a sprawling covered deck invites you to lounge, dine, or soak in the hot tub while taking in the tranquil lake views. There’s plenty of seating for everyone, making it perfect for family gatherings or evening cocktails. A flagstone path leads you down to the water’s edge, where a cozy fire pit area awaits — the perfect spot for s’mores under the stars.

Bring your boat or rent one nearby — a private slip is available during your stay for easy access to lake adventures.

Whether you’re exploring nearby Garvan Woodland Gardens, enjoying a day at Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort, or simply kicking back on the deck with your favorite drink, this lakefront home is your peaceful, memory-making getaway.

Just pack your bags, and leave the stress behind — we’ll take care of the rest!

Great vacation on the lake

The house was perfect for our family vacation. It was my husband and I and our children ages ranging from 22 to 11 years old. The inside was beautiful and looked just like it was pictured online. We had everything we needed and easy communication with the owner. It’s in a great location not far from town, grocery store and restaurants. We had an awesome time.

Great Location and Layout!

This house was exactly as described and perfect for our group of 6 adults (3 couples) and three children (ages 5-6). The location was great with a great public boat ramp kinda close by (Fish Hatchery ramp). Dock was in good shape, and being out of the traffic of the main channel was very nice. Would definitely stay here again!

Great location

Nice interior. Enjoyed high quality audio options throughout the property. Kuerig coffee pods in kitchen is awesome. Bread toaster would be nice to have. Outdoors could use some better care/upkeep (patio, grill, fireplace, etc.). Need to stock up the bathroom essentials. Unable to find instructions to tune into local TV channels.

Great Lake House

House was very clean and felt newly renovated. Beds were comfortable and rooms were spacious. There were two families of four with 3 girls 7, 7 and 5 with one boy 10. XBOX in the kids room was clutch for the boy. Overall great location and easy to get to boat rentals, Botanical Garden and downtown. Highly recommended.

Best lake home ever!

My family and I (7 of us) came to Lake Hamilton with our boat and 2 jet skis. This home is laid out perfectly, with nice size bathrooms and bedrooms, kitchen, living, outdoor area. The home and property is very clean. Each bedroom had "extras", such as televisions, nice ceiling fans, nice comfortable beds, pillows, and linens, etc. The decor throughout the home was perfect in every way! The kitchen had everything needed for cooking and serving with nice appliances. The laundry room had 2 sets of washer and dryer machines, which is very nice when you gave a big family or group. They have a very nice outdoor relaxing area with a nice clean jacuzzi. The boat dock accommodated our boat and Jet skis perfectly and it was the perfect dock to sit and fish at, or lay back and get some sun. We've stayed at other lake homes on this lake in the past. Not all vacation rentals have these comfortable "extras" and this one is by far the best!

Fun at the Lake house

Very clean and inviting. Our favorite parts were the big kitchen where we could cook and spend time together and also the decks and dock. The outdoor space was a great place to sit and visit. We had plans to go into town more but decided to just stay at cabin because it was so nice.

Amazing weekend!!!

Where do I start? Everything about this hole is first class! Firstly the communication was prompt and thorough . John answered all of my questions quickly and was eager to make the trip Easy! The home is quiet and peaceful but easy to get to. I would recommend it for anyone with small kids to elderly parents. It is one level so easy to navigate. All the bedrooms have super comfy beds( 3 king beds!) Lovely decor ! Fabulous but simple! The back porch was a dream! Super organized with instructions on television and media. Just perfect in every single way!!

The home and property are both amazing - made this the perfect spot for spending time with friends and family. The house is impeccably decorated. Everything needed for our stay was on site. There is an abundance of outdoor space for the kids to run around and play while the parents sit down by the firepit and relax! The owner was great and extremely easy to communicate with!

About the host

Hosted by John Aaron Rees

Host profile image
Hi, I’m John Aaron — your host!

My wife Katie and I live in Arkansas where we’re raising our four amazing kids — two boys (ages 16 and 3) and two girls (13 and 6). Life is busy, full, and never boring — and we love it that way!

I run a full service commercial real estate firm where we handle everything from development and construction to leasing, management, and brokerage. We also have a residential division that manages our vacation homes here in Arkansas and along the beautiful beaches of Florida’s 30A.

Katie is a high-end interior designer with an incredible eye for detail — many of our homes reflect her style and warmth. You can see her work on Instagram @KatieGraceDesigns. She has an amazing gift for making spaces feel elevated and welcoming.

We love hosting because it gives us the chance to share the spaces we’ve poured our hearts into — homes designed for gathering, relaxing, and making lasting memories. Whether you’re here for a family getaway, a couple’s retreat, or a weekend with friends, we hope you feel at home and leave with stories to tell.

Thanks for considering our place — we’d be honored to host you!

Why they chose this property

We searched for years to find the perfect lake house, and the moment we saw this one, we knew it checked all the boxes. It’s tucked away on a private road with only four homes, offering peace and privacy — yet it’s just five minutes from Central Avenue, the main road in Hot Springs. That means you’re minutes from grocery stores, boat rentals, restaurants, gas stations, and more. It’s incredibly easy and convenient to access compared to many homes around Lake Hamilton.

The house sits on a full acre with amazing lake views and sunsets that never get old. The area of the lake we’re on is a quiet no-tow zone, which keeps boat traffic low and makes it peaceful for swimming and relaxing. Our swim area has shallow water near the shore (ankle to 4 feet deep), perfect for kids and wading, while just off the dock, the water is 7–9 feet deep — great for swimming and boating. The fishing here is also excellent!

The layout of the house is another highlight. Each of the four bedrooms is large and has its own private bathroom, making it ideal for families or multiple couples. The cozy living room features vaulted wood ceilings, a real wood-burning fireplace, and an open floor plan connecting to the dining area and custom kitchen.

One of our favorite spots is the huge covered deck — perfect for grilling, relaxing with a drink, or soaking in the hot tub, rain or shine. Down by the lake, the stone fire pit area is a great place to gather and enjoy cool evenings under the stars.

With a beautiful exterior of wood and stone and a freshly designed upscale interior, this home combines comfort, style, and lake life in the best way. We hope you love it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

1. Spacious 1-Acre Lot: Unlike many lake homes, our property offers plenty of room to spread out, play, and enjoy nature without feeling crowded by neighbors.

2. Large Covered Back Deck: Whether you’re enjoying morning coffee, grilling out, or relaxing with a glass of wine, the expansive deck is perfect for gathering — rain or shine.

3. Private Hot Tub: Unwind after a day on the lake in the hot tub, tucked under the open sky or sparkling stars — the ultimate relaxation spot.

4. Lakeside Fire Pit with Seating: Create unforgettable memories with s’mores and stories around the stone fire pit just steps from the water’s edge.

5. Private Boat Dock with Swim Platform & Swing: Bring your boat or rent one nearby — the dock makes lake life easy. Kids (and kids at heart) will love the swing and swim platform.
6. Quiet, No-Tow Zone: Located in a peaceful section of Lake Hamilton with calm waters perfect for swimming, fishing, and floating without heavy boat traffic.

7. High-Speed Internet: Stay connected (if you choose to!) with fast, reliable Wi-Fi — ideal for remote work or streaming movies on a cozy night in.

8. Wood-Burning Fireplace: Adds warmth and charm to the living room’s inviting atmosphere, especially in cooler months.

9. Covered Carport & Ample Parking: Plenty of space for multiple vehicles, trailers, or boats — a rare find around the lake.

10. Basketball Goal: Keep the kids (and grown-ups) entertained with a quick game of H-O-R-S-E.

11. Private & Convenient Location: Though it feels secluded and peaceful, you’re just minutes from Central Avenue, restaurants, shopping, gas station, boat rentals and Harp's grocery store.
