If you aren't paddling around on one of our 5 kayaks, paddleboard, or canoe, enjoy fishing, swimming, skiing, and boating in the spring, summer, and fall (**Lake Catherine is drawn down from mid-November to Mid-March so kayaks, paddleboard, and canoe are put away as well**). During the winter your entire family will enjoy sitting around the large rock fire pit making Smores while the kids enjoy playing on the sandy beach since the lake is drawn down for the winter. There is also horseracing, gambling, dining, and walks along Bathhouse Row in the Hot Springs Historic District within 12 miles of the property.
The large outside deck is 60 feet from the lake with 210 feet of lakefront access and a beautiful level carpet grass lawn.
The home on this gated 2-acre property sits off the road and is surrounded on both sides by thick rows of trees that offer plenty of privacy.
The extra large deck has a table/chairs and a gas grill. smoker (propane supplied) and plenty of room for your entire group.
Enjoy the evenings making smores or just relaxing around the large rock firepit with 9 Adirondack chairs and plenty of firewood (supplied).
The covered boat dock is available to house your boat or jet skis and the separate swim dock area is shallow enough for children to play safely.
This property offers everything you need for your family and friends to create lifelong memories while enjoying a fun and relaxing lake vacation.

Relaxing

I want to say that this place was awesome. The view of Lake Ouachita was breath taking. The huge back porch and rear deck is amazing. We stayed there for my son's wedding in Hot Springs and it was a short 20 minute drive to downtown and a straight shot. The back yard was big enough from for my grandson and granddaughter to play around. We also asked for a sooner check in that 4 and David allowed us to check in at noon. The place was exactly how it was described on VRBO and it was very clean. The den was huge with an open floor plan to the kitchen. We would higly recommend this place to a large family. David easily to get in touch with and very accomodating!

Great little house and beautiful property!

We enjoyed this house so much. Fortunately the weather was absolutely gorgeous, too, so we spent lots of time on the large deck, the fishing dock (no fish caught, though) and on the kayaks. The owner was very attentive with one small issue with the gate, and even checked with us the following day to make sure all was well. The house was super clean and bedrooms very nice. This was a very quiet area, too - just what we needed. We loved looking out at the lake - so pretty!! Would definitely consider staying here again.

Relaxing and private

Perfect location to chill on the deck, hang out by the fire pit at night, and had plenty of room inside for our family. Being right on the river with fish jumping and with the trees starting to turn colors and watching the herons and other birds around the property was peaceful. Kitchen was well stocked and house was decorated for the fall season so it didn’t feel as sterile as some rentals can be. We really appreciated the gated entry and how private it felt. Great place to stay while we were exploring the Hot Springs area! Also, the owner was great with communication, which is always a plus!

Beautifully appointed, relaxing lake retreat

Met our adult kids for a wonderful retreat weekend. Only wish we could've stayed longer! Hosts were unbelievable, communicated so well and very responsive, even allowed an earlier check in since we had groceries and a dog. Would love to return in the fall for cooler weather or for a spring break. Thanks for a great stay! :)

Comfortable stay!

This was a quiet neighborhood in a comfortable house next to a pretty lake! Many amenities to make our stay enjoyable--quality linens, paper products, toiletries/soaps, and even a smores station! Fully-stocked kitchen and all very clean. The outside entertainment was very nice. Dock was in good shape, kayak/paddleboard for use, and lawn chairs that also were in good shape. The firepit was good, too! The owner quickly responds to questions and is proactive with communication. Overall, we would recommend this to families who enjoy spending time together and on the lake!

Wonderful Home

This lake home provided our family a wonderful post holiday get away. The location was beautiful and the home was perfect. It was so inviting and cozy. Beds were comfortable and it was supplied so well. We cook most of our meals and this was the first place we've stayed where I had everything I needed (including good knives!). Check in and communication with David couldn't have been better. My husband and son are already contemplating coming back in the spring when the lake is back up.

Peace with a view!

My family and I had such an amazing time at this property. The owners gave us several great recommendations that we really enjoyed. The place was SO clean and well-stocked. They thought of their visitors in every single room of this place. I felt like it was made just for us! Our favorite part of the property was the lovely fire pit. It was such a relaxing time, and we hope to be back soon!

Hideaway Gem!

The reviews don’t lie on this one! This was the perfect place for a quick weekend getaway to catch up with friends. The owners go above and beyond to make sure you have what you need to simply relax. How could you not with the lake just steps away and the perfect porch to take in all the view. The guys spent hours casting lines and were able to catch several fish. I’m surprised we didn’t take advantage of the kayaks. David and Linda were excellent host and addressed any questions or concerns we had and went above and beyond to provide easy to access information about the property and surrounding things to do in the hot springs area. We hope to return in the future and would definitely stay here again!

Perfect relaxing girls trip

David was very upfront regarding a tree that had fallen on the fire pit and wouldnt be removed in time for our arrival. He offered the option for us to cancel but I'm so glad we didn't. The house was clean and very well kept. Sitting on the patio in the mornings was AMAZING! Great location if you dont want to be in the middle of the busy city. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Family Time!!!

We had a great time at the lake house. It is in a very quiet location without a ton of boat traffic. Much quieter than nearby Lake Hamilton. The swimming area is great for children as it is shallow and gradually gets deeper. It is a bit grassy though. The use of the kayaks and paddle board are an excellent bonus and we were grateful to have them. Overall a fantastic experience and great place to take the family.

Lake Catherine Bliss

This property is wonderful and the hosts are the best! The home is spotless and perfectly designed to support a group of people enjoying the lake life! A s’mores station, fire pit, deck with grill, and available water toys such as kayaks, paddle board, and canoe made it a perfect match for my preteen/teen grandsons who loved every minute. The setting is ideal on a wooded completely private property that is still close to restaurants, activities, and stores. You should definitely make this a go to property for any trip to the Hot Springs area!

Girls getaway

We had a group of 7 friends that met up for a few days to relax and make memories. The Hoff lake house provided the perfect spot for us. The lake was perfect for kayaking and swimming, s’mores by the fire pit, burgers on the grill, coffee on the porch….what more could you ask for. The house was stocked with lots of little extras, even fishing poles. We all enjoyed ourselves and plan to come again.

Spring Break on the lake

We had such a great time in Hot Springs! The house was wonderful- super clean, comfortable and peaceful. My kids loved making s’mores at night by the fire pit and looking at the stars. I loved sitting outside early in the morning and watching the birds. We appreciated the comfortable beds, s’mores, coffee and cream and the canoe and kayaks! The house had everything we could want. The owners were very quick to respond to any questions that I had and they provided us with a digital guide book that they had made for the area. We can’t wait to plan our return trip! There is still so much more we want to see. Thank you for helping us to make great family memories!

Perfect Getaway!

This property is wonderful! This was our first time traveling to Hot Springs and we could not have asked for a better experience. The house is located in a nice area. Very quiet with a beautiful view. It was only 15 minutes from all the places we wanted to visit. The house was stocked with everything we needed and more. Very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed spending time outside on the spacious deck and fishing from the dock. We also enjoyed viewing all the wildlife. From the geese to the chipmunks. Even some deer in the neighborhood. Our host Mr. David was amazing. From providing a link with all the information we needed, to making the check in and check out process a breeze. I highly recommend this property. We hope to come back in the future!

Moms 84th bday weekend

This place was amazing beauty, such a beautiful place and quiet hideaway, we had a girls trip with my mom and sisters and loved everything about this place. Only complaint would be is that I wish I had more days there and my fishing poles were working to fish, lots of fish jumping out of the lake. I would definitely be back with my husband and I know my fishing poles would definitely be working next time I’m there from what David reassured me lol See y’all next time very soon

Wonderful Vacation Home

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and cannot wait to visit again! David was an excellent host ensuring that we had everything that we needed for our stay. The home was so cozy, well-furnished and equipped, and extremely clean. We loved spending time looking out at the beautiful lake from the amazing porch and deck. There is so much to do at the property. We admired the ducks and geese, kayaked, canoed, fished, sat around the fire pit and made smores. The home is perfectly located for visits to Hot Springs National Park, Garvan Gardens and Catherine State Park. We will cherish the family memories that we made during our stay. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing place with us!

About the host

The day we retired we moved to Conway AR to be near our girls and their families. Since then, our families have visited Lake Catherine numerous times each year and have fallen in love with the area. We decided to purchase the lake house so we could spend more time here with our family and friends.
