The house was exactly as listed and was the perfect getaway for our family Spring Break! My parents arrived first and sent me a text saying "the house is awesome" followed a little later by "these are my people, there is a frosted glass in the freezer!" The house was clean and well stocked. We would stay here again!
We stayed at the retro ranch for a few days over spring break. It is so cute and very clean! The outdoor area is especially nice and my kids loved the bonus room with Pac-Man and big bean bag chairs. It is easy to get anywhere in Hot Springs, and we had a great little trip! Thanks!
We loved everything about this property! The pictures don’t do it justice! Super close to town, but also tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. We can’t wait to be return guests!!
The house was so nicely decorated. Retro themed throughout. We loved the record player with all the throwback albums. Great location. Everything was perfect.
Great place to stay for our friend group! The beds were super comfy and we loved watching the turtles and birds in the water. The place had everything we needed and more.
Retro Ranch is a fun place to stay - outdoor space and equipment, geese flying in and landing on the lake, games including PacMan, plenty of room, well-stocked, convenient location, comfortable beds - we will be back.

Location is good, house is spacious. General areas clean enough but under cabinets, microwave, and dishes were not. It needs a thorough cleaning. All Linens needed replacing. Hairdryer so small not usable. Beds OK. House is somewhat "retro" but mostly just old. Old cabinets, doors don't close well. Dining chair fabric so worn it was torn and ripped on multiple chairs. We stayed, but I was very disappointed. You can be old "retro" and still be clean and fully functional. Would not stay here again.
House was very cute, clean with plenty of space to hang out. Just wish it hadn’t been so hot so that we could have used the backyard more! Love the retro look! Very well equipped with everything and then some. Loved the coffee bar! Highly recommend!
My family stayed for 2 nights and it was a very comfortable house. We launched our boat and docked it at the house. The yard is spacious with plenty of outside games, fire pit and seating. The bedrooms were comfortable and plenty of room for the 6 of us. We used the grill and cooked in the kitchen, the kitchen is very well equipped with everything that we needed. The driveway was easy to use with a boat trailer. We would definitely recommend this home and will look for this home when we return to Lake Hamilton.
We loved this place! Great location, super clean, and loved the retro vibe! Our kids loved the use of the kayaks. The only suggestion is to put a bunk bed in the recreation area. It would provide more comfortable sleeping for extra kids.
We booked this one last minute for a quick getaway. Great owner communication and everything was exactly as advertised.
Close to everything and right on the water!
it was very well stocked and very clean and easy to find. close to grocery stores and restaurants. Garvan Gardens was beautiful and well worth the admission price.
I have a family of 4 with kids 10 and 12 and the property was terrific and accurately described. The Retro Ranch has great vibe and floorplan. After realizing I didn't book enough nights, the owner helped find a very close rental to stay. I would stay here again.
We had a great time on our short trip to Hot Springs. The house was clean and comfortable. Sitting out back was great. We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves.
Over the holidays between Christmas and new years, our dispersed family gathered in Hot Springs to reconnect. As artists, designers and writers, we found Retro Ranch to be a perfect outlier from the usual vanilla rentals. Retro Ranch is a happy, quirky, and unique place to stay. Despite being a small house, it lived large, with lots of gathering space and an airy, open feel. The retro collection of furniture gave off a mid-century modern vibe that takes one back into a simpler, and more innocent time. It comfortably accommodated our 6 adults, two pre-teens and small, shy dog.
Cute house. We loved that it had a decorated Christmas tree. I would book it again.
