Perfect Family Getaway!
Great place to stay tucked away from the busy city life. House had many extras and plenty of space. It was a little far from attractions or stores but very enjoyable.

Beautiful location, most mattresses not comfortable
Very spacious home with great views of the lake. Kitchen was well equipped. The listing was a little confusing - in one place it said the bunk room beds were twin sized and in another place said they were full size. Everything was as expected except the beds. The MBR bed was comfortable but all the other mattresses were really hard and need to be replaced or at least have thick memory foam toppers. Downstairs shower water pressure was very low. Nice place but needs a little help.

So much family fun!
My family wanted to stay close to Hot Springs, but far enough out that we could have quiet, secluded time too! This house was perfect. It was so clean, it had a baby gate at the stairs (big plus for us!!), and really was just the perfect spot to get away and relax.

Lovely, peaceful, comfortable!!
Our group of 6 adults and one teen LOVED our stay here. Property is wonderful inside and outside. Gorgeous patios and decks overlooking Lake Catherine, awesome fire pit with plenty of wood, nice patio lights create a warm ambiance for a large group to spend time together. Plenty of outdoor chairs for everyone.
Inside, bedrooms are spacious and welcoming with an abundance of pillows and quality bedding. Lots of soft snowy towels in the bathrooms.
Living areas are comfortable. Kitchen is well equipped to make any meal you imagine with enough dishes, serve ware, & silverware for a big group. Large outdoor griddle is great for burgers, veggies, steak, fish! Note it is NOT a grill.
This beautiful spot was perfect for our group. The home is in a very quiet area; we took walks along the picturesque winding road and never saw anyone else. Boat launch is close by. 11 min drive to beach at Lake Catherine State Park where they have a changing room & bathrooms as well as pontoon, kayak, and canoe rentals. 25 min drive to Hot Springs to take in the healing waters, shop, or have your choice of many restaurants. The pool is a short drive away, but wasn't open at the time of our visit in early April. There is no water access directly from the property.
Overall, visiting this home was like staying with a very thoughtful host. Our group would return in a heartbeat! One of the nicest vacation properties I have ever visited.

Family Christmas
Property was very clean and nice. Kitchen is equipped well enough. Owners left us some s'mores ingredients to make by the fire and some hot cocoa. Overall awesome house for our 3 families to get together for Christmas. Will rent again and would recommend to anyone. Trail to lake is pretty steep.

Perfect getaway
This property had it all, the character and charm of this home was all we had hoped for. The setting of being lakefront property was beyond beautiful. From the youngest in our group (2 year old, to the oldest 85 year old), to the oldest our stay was enjoyed by all. We will definitely want to stay here again. Rachael and Scott were very helpful with any questions we had.

Hot Spring Trip
Everything was good, the house was exactly what we need it. We had so much fun. My only complaint is that the water in the shower doesn’t have any pressure and is really hard to get to be warm, is either cold or steamy. Other than that everything was fine.

Gangsters Retreat
This house is like a warm hug. There are some things that could be updated, like bathroom faucets and shower heads, but that's just nit picking. It feels like you're at grandmas house. It has that kind of smell and feel to it. Very secluded and beautiful.

This house worked great for us. The bar and pool table downstairs was a plus. You do have about a 20 minute drive to grocery stores or restraunts but its not bad at all. Host left us a s’more basket which we did at the fire pit and loved that special touch. Quiet neighborhood overlooking the water. We loved the house.
