Beautiful Waterfront 3 Bed/2 bath Hideaway. GREAT FLAT YARD!
Enjoy a lake experience at our hideaway retreat on Lake Catherine. 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.

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.
It was a perfect place for me and my pets the little dogs. I loved it so close to the lake perfect house clean very clean. I stay there again. It’s the best place ever. I’ve stayed in in a long time. I love it.
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.
Excellent location for river activity. I love that kayaks were provided. Large outdoor space for dining or just taking in nature. Comfortable stay and close to downtown Hot Springs.

Thanks again for choosing to stay at our lake home.

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.

WOW, thanks Shawn for such an amazing review. It is so nice to know that our guests were able to enjoy the place and get everything they can out of their stay. We would love for you all to come back and visit again during your next trip to the Hot Springs area. Thanks again for the kind words.

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.

This is one of my favorite places I’ve ever stayed. We spent a week with some friends and I can’t tell you how thankful everyone was. It felt like we were staying at a family lake house we’d grown up going to our whole lives. Thank you again for hosting us. We can’t wait to visit again.

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.

Cheryl,
We really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts on the lake house. One of the nice things about the house is that it is close to just about everything in Hot Springs. Glad you all enjoyed the yard and the big deck. Being outside is the best part of the trip. Please come back and visit again. You are always welcome at the Hoff Hideaway.
Linda and David
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.

Ann,
Thank you for leaving such a kind review. We are so glad to hear that you folks enjoyed your stay. This is a great time of year for hiking and then closing out the day by the fire pit with a glass of wine. That sound extremely relaxing. I hope your little pup was able to eventually catch his tail. Dogs are the best!!
We would love for you folks to come back and visit us again anytime. You are always welcome.
Take care.

Great place, nice yard, great fire pit. The location was perfect. We were about 15 minutes from everything. I bet a summer stay would be even better. Great water views.

Melinda,
Thank you for such a nice review. It sounds like you folks were able to enjoy just about everything there is to enjoy out there. The fall is our favorite time out there, but during the spring and summer when the lake is full, it's a blast. Geese everywhere, fishing, deer, and chipmunks, can be seen running around the property. We would love you to come back and visit the next time you are in the Hot Springs area.
Happy holidays.
Linda and David
We had an amazing, relaxing week here. The location is perfect. The house was spotless and the property owners were wonderful! We definitely recommend this property and will be back!!

Thank you for such a wonderful review. It sounds like y’all stayed quiet busy while you were “relaxing “. That is our little heaven on earth and we love to hear that our guests find it fun and relaxing also. The S’mores make the whole trip worth while. Glad you got to enjoy the kayaks and paddle board. The lake is a blast.
Thanks for choosing to stay with us, and please come back soon.
Have a great summer!!

I have never had such hospitable and truly kind, accommodating hosts through VRBO. The owners are extremely attentive with this VRBO … they are accommodating and want all guests to have a wonderful experience. 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. The view is priceless… little boat traffic and calm waters anytime of day. I wish we had a boat to ski those waters! Neighborhood

Thank you so much the the kind words. You were such a joy to visit with. We really enjoy getting to meet new friends and learning a little bit about them. We are so glad that you enjoyed the lake and Hot Springs so much. When we get a chance to go out there and stay, we are definably in our happy place. You just can't not relax out there. I think it is impossible!
We would love for you folks to come back and stay anytime you want too. Y'all are awesome.
Take care and come back soon.

About the host
Hosted by David and Linda Hoff
Linda and I were born and raised in Texas. We were both lifetime educators and retired after 30 years working with young people. 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.
