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.

We had a wonderful stay with our friends and kids. The house is in a beautiful location on the lake and you can just sit on the deck or pier to take in the view. We went during a heat wave, so appreciated that the AC worked great and the proximity of the lake to cool off. The house had everything we needed for a fun weekend away.

Overall everything was great! However we cooked most of our meals and needed a few more items but that was probably on us more than you. No complaints! And thanks again for making everything so smooth and seamless. Oh and weren’t sure where to leave the garbage can so we left it in the same place. Sorry if that wasn’t right.

This Vrbo is amazing! The Hoff’s are very kind and easy to communicate with. Instructions for booking in and booking out were clear and easy. This lake front home has beautiful views - we enjoyed grilling dinners on the large porch and watching the sun go down. Swam, fished and boated for 5 days! House is immaculate, beds are comfy, plenty of room for a large family. Large yard with plenty of space to run and play. We will absolutely book this home again.

We went for a girls weekend. It was a great place to stay with beautiful view of Lake Catherine from the back porch and deck. We really enjoyed sitting by the fire pit, visiting and laughing. The beds were comfortable, so good that one of our friends got the brand name of the mattress. She has back issues. There is plenty of beds, enough to sleep 8 people. Checking in and out was easy and the hosts were good at communicating.Only con is there are steps to get into the property and to get to the deck and lake. If you have knee issues that could be a problem.Definitely would recommend to others.

The best thing is location and view. The back porch is covered so when it rains, you can still enjoy the view of the lake. The porch was even dog friendly because it had a gate to keep her contained. The house is clean with sufficient supplies. Beds were comfortable. The host was awesome and reached out to check on us.

The home was comfortable, the kitchen well stocked, and the property very pet friendly. But what we really loved about it was the back deck and the firepit. Because every evening was pretty chilly, after a full day of hiking and exploring the countryside we relaxed by the firepit with a glass of wine. David, the owner, provided plenty of firewood and firestarters, Thank you David!! We brought our little dog with us and he loved being able to run around the yard chasing his ball.

The property was spotless… I wish I could keep my home this clean and I am pretty OCD. Towels and bedding were very nice and even the decor was homey and very pretty.
