Perfect for family vacation

This is the perfect house for a family vacation. There are 2 bedrooms with bathrooms on the main floor along with 2 large tables and several cozy couches for lounging and looking out at the amazing view of the water and the tree covered hills across the lake. The tower has bedrooms plus a cozy hangout room (very cozy couch for napping). The porches are large and have great views. There’s a very nice rock sundeck by the water… For us, it was handy to have the ramp nearby to put our jet skis in and tie them to the dock. The neighbors were very nice. Lots of parking in the driveway. There are some stairs down to the water, but they are built in a way that didn’t even bother my knee (I’ve had 4 surgeries). They are short/wide steps with landings so easier to manage. And finally, this area of the lake is beautiful and not too busy. We highly recommend bringing friends and family and enjoy all this great lake house has to offer!

Last Summer getaway before school.

Last minute getaway with some friends and our kids before school starts. It was perfect! The plan was to visit Hot Springs but we never made because they kids had so much fun hanging out in the lake. We all slept comfortably and were able to hang out together and not fell crowded. A perfect weekend.

Beautiful lakefront property

My family and I enjoyed our stay here very much. We had 6 children ranging from 7-15 and 2 adults and had plenty of room. The tower is great for mobile kids but even small kids would do well on the downstairs sleeper sofa in the tower. The view is a dream. I think there’s 5 or 6 outdoor sitting areas, all with a great view. Even the front yard patio has a nice view of the landscaping. Everything was very clean and the lake is so convenient to just jump into on a hot day. We had all the pots we needed to cook with. I only found one pan but I also didn’t look that hard. The lake is deep so bring life jackets or floats. We used pool noodles and life jackets. It’s about a 20 min drive into town but I loved how peaceful it was being out in the country away from the hustle of the city. I will say, if you go outside at night be quick about it! It’s the country and bugs get in fast. Nothing negative about the house, just a tip. That being said, mosquitoes weren’t really an issue and we saw lots of beautiful lightning bugs. I’d love to stay here again .

Great Thanksgiving Stay

Stayed for the week of Thanksgiving with family of 5 + parents and mother-in-law. It is a unique house in a quiet area with plenty of room and view was great. There were still leaves on the trees in late November and the mist coming off the lake in the morning was a great combination with coffee and a crossword. The house and kitchen were well-furnished. We all enjoyed the stay.

Perfect Spot for Family Time

The Blue Roost was the perfect spot for our two families to meet and reconnect. We spent hours on the dock and in the water. The view is spectacular and we enjoyed watching the deer and geese in the morning and the bats coming out at dusk. The house had plenty of room for the 9 of us and even in the blistering hot temps stayed cool. We cooked most of our meals at the house and there was no shortage of gathering spaces inside and out. Amber was welcoming and responsive when contacted. Hot Springs and all it has to offer is a short drive away. We hope to return again and highly recommend this property.

Relaxing Lake Getaway

This was a beautiful & quiet lake house for our vacation week. We had 3 teenagers and they never complained once! Breaking things down a bit: Check-In: We made the request to book just a few days prior to our check-in date (we are very last minute indecisive people) and Amber approved our request within MINUTES. We received check-in packet almost instantly after booking with excellent/easy directions. Stay: We wanted a relaxing week of fishing and swimming, and that's pretty much what we did. We went out to eat twice as well as go get bait for fishing. The rest of the time we spent playing on the dock and in the water and/or fishing from the boardwalk. The neighbor on one side (yellow house) was very nice and pleasant and spoke to us each time we were outside. The neighborhood was quiet as well. Everything was stocked exceptionally well, better than any other VRBO property we stayed at previously. Check-Out: Easy as checking in. Not many "requirements", just the usual trash out, strip the beds, and start dishwasher. Sent a text to the owner that we checked out, and that was it. Other Tips/Insight: Swimming off the dock is great, the water is deep enough to jump in. I never touched the bottom (I am 5'10"). It is right off the main channel so the water can get some waves and/or choppy, but nothing crazy. Fishing was great as well - we caught a lot of perch but also a catfish and several bluegill. Overall an EXCELLENT week - Thanks for letting us stay!

Spring break

Enjoyed a wonderful, relaxing few days in Hamilton lake. House had everything we needed. Neighborhood is quiet. We ran into a slight mishap and the owner was very responsive and quick to offer to help. While we didn’t catch but 2 fish while we were there (big rain storm day before arrival), we still enjoyed fishing from the dock. The house was comfy. We had plenty of seating and kitchen had everything we needed. Beds were ok. I’d prefer king in master and maybe memory top too but they weren’t too bad. The house was about 20-30 min away from everywhere we wanted to go. This made for a quiet and relaxing time. Games for kids. They enjoyed the tower bedrooms. Overall we had a good time spent relaxing with family for spring break. We visited hot spring National park , mid America science center and garvan woodland gardens(which was our favorite). We ate a ranoldo’s in hot springs which was fairly decent. We tried bubbas brews on the way in, which was ok. Our favorite places was David’s burgers, come hungry, lot of food. We weren’t able to hike this time but I saw some trails nearby I’d like to hike next time.
