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.

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 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!

Plenty of room

We were four couple and stayed three nights for the horse races. The house had plenty of room and privacy for all of us. It had all we need to cookout one evening and the deck was great to hang out on. The house location was very good for privacy and not very far from all the attractions.

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.

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 family reunion

After Covid we were very excited to be together. This property was tremendous for our needs. It was very spacious, clean and neat. Lots of space for the little kids to play in as well as a very shallow area at the shore for the kids to go in and parents able to sit around fire ring right next to them. The owner was very responsive to our needs.

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 river cabin

Great house and location. Only complaint was the cleanliness. Just needs a good bit of TLC. I let the owner know and he offered to send cleaning crew back out. We declined due to toddler schedule and COVID but the offer was much appreciated. Dock and outdoor areas are fabulous. Buggy but fabulous. We brought fans which helped! Will stay here again!

June visit to Hot Springs

We have stayed in multiple rentals before but this place is top notch! From the moment you walk in you can begin to enjoy the lake view as well as appreciate the lovely professional décor throughout the house. The beds were very comfortable and the linens were good quality. The kitchen was fully outfitted with very good quality brands and entire matching sets of dishes, glasses, mugs and utensils! I don't know how many times I said to my family throughout the weekend how impressed I was by the detail the owners went to for the comfort of their guests in this home. A huge thanks to them for sharing!!

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.
