If you are looking for peace and tranquility, this is the place for you. This cozy home is 2 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms with breathtaking views of the main channel on Lake Catherine. Open floor plan has grand views from the kitchen and living areas. The large back deck allows you to enjoy the abundant nature this quiet home has to offer and is a bird watcher’s paradise. The deck is equipped with patio furniture, table and charcoal grill.
This property has swimming, fishing and boating on the calm waters of Lake Catherine. There is a 36' x 6' pier with boat bumpers, tie up hooks and a swim ladder. Relax on our attached 26' x 12' floating dock with Adirondack chairs and Umbrella. So bring your boat and water toys.
The first bedroom has a king size bed with half bath. The second bedroom has a queen size bed with window looking out at the lake. Both bedrooms have a wall mounted flat screen TVs, ceiling fans and USB charging stations. The living areas are furnished with comfortable seating and a large 50-inch TV.

WINTER LAKE DRAW DOWN, From November 1 through March 10th, Lake management typically lowers Lake Catherine and Lake Hamilton from 3-5 feet. This will expose the lake bed in shallow areas around the property and the dock will have little water below it if any.
The Property has 2 exterior security cameras mounted on the eave by the garage. The camera's coverage is the front of the house and driveway.

Fun in Hot Springs
We had a terrific mother/daughter get away. The house was immaculate and beautifully decorated. We enjoyed the gorgeous patio and the view of the lake. We had a wonderful time shopping and exploring the nearby antique stores and taking a horseback ride near Mt Ida.

Sisters' Weekend
My sister and I stayed at this location for a weekend of relaxation and catching up on a long awaited visit. The location is great!! The home is immaculate and met all our needs. We spent a lot of time on the massive deck taking in all the surroundings. I highly recommend this VRBO and its wonderful hosts.

Perfect place to relax
This property was perfect! Sitting on the deck or the floating dock was the ultimate spot to enjoy the water view. Hosts provided everything needed and the house was exceptionally clean and the decor was beautiful. The king bed was super comfortable and the area was really quiet. I highly recommend this property and hope to stay there again.

Great cottage with everything we needed. Property is on the river with great views and a relaxing dock. Had a great time. I found the neighborhood streets back to the cottage a bit tricky, but no problem if using a navigation app.

Beautifully House & Property
My mom and I stayed here for a mother/daughter trip. It was perfect! Our hosts left a welcome note, check-in was easy, there were thoughtful touches throughout like soap & shampoo in the shower, extra toothbrushes, recommendations on restaurants, instructions for the ROKU, and a bowl of chocolates! The property is beautiful, it exceeded my expectations! Thank you for a great stay, I hope to come back again!
