Close to the water

Enjoyed staying here with grandkids. They loved that the dock was so close to the house and the water. Everything was just like the pictures. We will stay here again.

Nice Place

Nice place to stay. Overall very enjoyable. Host was great with good information, quick responses and easy processes. House was clean, towels and bedding were fantastic and comfortable.Only downsides were a couple of the neighbors let their dogs run loose, so taking our dogs outside could be tricky even though we had them on leashes. It was great to bring our dogs, just not a whole lot of space for them. Secondly, the kitchen was tough if you plan to do a lot of your own cooking. It was small, and had a selection of pots, pans etc, but there weren’t any measuring cups/spoons.Overall a great stay. Thanks for the good time.

Yet another great stay here

Once again, this place allowed us to chill along the lakefront, while also being close to all the great hiking trails around the city. Sunrise and sunset are just spectacular on the porch or the dock.

Relaxing weekend

The property owners were amazingly easy to communicate with. The cabin was clean and comfortable. The pictures were a bit deceiving as I thought the property had more grassy are as for our dogs. But we had a very relaxing weekend with friends.

Beautiful property with a gorgeous view of the lake. Only steps away from the water. Clean and comfortable. Loved the easy access to town while enjoying the feel of “being away from it all.”

Great place and great stay!!

This cabin was perfect! It had all the necessities we needed for our long weekend getaway. The cabin was right there within walking distance to the water where we were able to fish and enjoy the water. We spent a lot of time on the porch where we enjoyed beautiful sunrises. We will be back!!

Always too short!!

This is the second year we have rented the house for a week. It is always so relaxing! My husband loves to fish & I'm content sitting on the deck reading a book listening to the water. A trip or two to Bathhouse Row is envigorating. We always hate to leave & look forward to our next trip!

Great location!

We loved the cabin. Only downfall was we had no place to park our boat. We made it work. If you have more than two vehicles, you might have a problem. The group renting next door where kind to let our friends who came for dinner park behind them. Overall, this a great cabin. I would highly recommend.

This is our third year to stay in this house. It is perfect in size for us and having the lake literally at the back door is exactly what we love. The owners are super friendly and the house is clean and well-maintained. We love our time here and would definitely recommend!

Fantastic lake view

We had a wonderful stay at this cottage on Lake Hamilton. The view was fantastic, as if you were floating right on the lake since it was right next to the shoreline. The front porch was a great place to hang out, but even the views from inside the house were of water. We will defintely return!

Another great time

Went to see the lights at Garvin Gardens, which is only about 15 minutes away. Absolutely beautiful spot right on the lake. In fact, your back porch steps go almost into the lake. It’s gonna be great in the summertime with all kind of summer sports for kids.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Buhrow

Host profile image
Captain Mark and Gigi Buhrow owned and operated the Belle of Hot Springs Riverboat from 1983 to 2016. They have four children and four grandchildren. Hot Springs has been home to us for over 30 years. They have owned lake property for rent since 1986 and enjoy sharing beautiful Lake Hamilton and Hot Springs with visitors from all over the county.

In retirement they enjoy boating, camping and traveling America.

Why they chose this property

We built the Shore House as an investment property. We actually love this home so much that when it is available we booked it for ourselves and enjoy all that it has to offer. I know this is not unusual for property owners to stay in their vacation rental homes, but it is for us because we actually live directly across the lake. This cottage is our favorite because of the proximity to the lake (about 5 feet) and the sunrise and sunset view from the deck.

What makes this property unique

The things we love most about the Shore House is how bright and refreshing it is. The covered deck is a great place to sit with a cup of coffee and a book. We love the swim area and enjoy the fact that the house is so close to the lake. The swim area is perfect for lake swimming because it is shallow at the shore and gradually gets deeper as you go out. The sunset from the covered deck is a show stopper!
