The home itself is nestled on 120 feet of pristine lakefront seawall and features its own floating boat dock, boasting lake views from the upper deck and lower patio into the spacious interior. 70% of the windows frame beautiful snapshots of the neighboring lake and towering trees, which provide gentle shade in the summer and splendid, multi-hued foliage in the autumn.

The house boasts a colossal 5,000 square feet, with upstairs hosting a huge master suite with walk-in closet and Jacuzzi tub in master bath, 1 full guest bedroom & 1 half bath, a modern, fully equipped kitchen, and 2 living rooms filled with plush seating options. Meanwhile, the downstairs area contains 4 queen beds in 3 guest bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a sizable indoor practice golf driving range, a bar, 2nd full-size fridge with ice-maker, and a ping pong table in a large game and entertainment room.

-- THE LOCATION --

Even with this astounding list of amenities and modern comforts, the home's remarkable lakefront location is by far its most attractive feature. The property lies within Hot Springs Village and features direct admittance to the community's long list of recreation options.

Surrounded by 11 lakes, you'll have access to boating, swimming, kayaking and other water sports right at your doorstep - not to mention 9 beautifully maintained golf courses, professionally managed and operated. And, with the home's private indoor practice driving range, you can practice your swing in rain or shine! The Hot Springs Village community also offers 28 miles of hiking and biking trails, 2 communal pools, tennis, basketball, pickleball, a restaurant, a sandy beach on Lake Balboa, and a nearby marina with boat rentals. A user fee applies for items like golf, use of the communal pools, pickleball, tennis, and boat rentals at the marina, but the fees are very reasonable.

With many options within the sprawling community, there's no reason to leave! However, if you need to make a grocery run during your stay, you'll be delighted to find that multiple grocery stores are just a few miles down the road. Additionally, if you're craving some more outdoor adventure, Hot Springs National Park waits just 12 miles down the road.

Perfect lake front house

We enjoyed the lake house very much! It accommodated our family of 17 very comfortably. The house was well stocked with everything we needed to cook meals for our big family. The owner was very easy to work with and responded quickly to meet our needs. I would definitely consider staying here again if we vacation in the area.

Great Family Getaway

This property was perfect for our extended family getaway. It had plenty of room for our four families and great amenities for both the kids and adults. Our favorite part was the location though. Being right on the water was perfect for those hot July days. Thanks Bob for the wonderful accommodations!

Great family getaway!

The lake house was the perfect fit for our large extended family to all be in one house but have room to spread out. We were grateful we could bring our pups with us, and the tweens and teens loved having a separate hang out space downstairs. Everyone loved the ping pong table and golf room, and the kitchen was very well stocked with every piece of equipment we could need. We spent a lovely Christmas week at the house. My favorite part was enjoying coffee on the porch while watching the sun rise over the lake.

Men's Fellowship and Golf Retreat

12 guys getting together for fellowship and golf. This house was perfect for its size and layout and location. It was easy for us to comfortably gather together in one room or outdoor space. Access to golf courses was easy. The house was very clean and updated very nicely. Bob was extremely helpful and proactive anticipating our needs. We could not have been happier with our VRBO selection.

Fantastic multi-family vacation in a beautiful home on the lake

We had three families with 6 kids under 6 all get together for a New Year’s vacation. We had a fantastic time! This house is spacious, beautiful, and so well suited to a big multi-family getaway. The owner is fantastic and had great communication. The kitchen and entire house are well stocked. We were there for 3 nights and actually didn’t even leave the house. Beautiful views right on the water and plenty of privacy in all the bedrooms. Would definitely come back!

Rented for family during my wedding

Usually the property likes the renter to stay during the rental but I informed the owner that I was only renting for out of town family during my wedding weekend. Mr. Medinger was accommodating about this and early check in as much as possible for my family. I didn't see the property at all by my family said it was spacious and clean. Thanks for all the hard work Mr. Medinger.

Spacious House - Perfect For HSV Golf Trip

The property was exactly as advertised. The owner worked directly with us to allow us to check in early. The house has 3 fridges which came in handy! The kitchen has about every utensil/pan/pot known to man. The two different patios, one on each level allow you to enjoy the outdoors from each floor. The Ping Pong table was a great added bonus downstairs. The only issue we had with the house was the cooling. You have no control over the temperature inside the house. The owner controls the temperature remotely. The house was on 74 when we checked in and we requested it be turned down to 70. It never cooled down to 70. Everyone in the house, even the guys who are never hot, complained. The house should have been set at 70 from the offset and left at that temp the entire stay. For the money invested to stay in any rental the customer should never be hot. When I texted the owner to turn down the air he did not respond until the next day then stated "73 is not warm" Maybe 73 is nice to him but to the renter 73 is warm when the outside temp is in the 90s. I would suggest installing several ceiling fans to help circulate the air in each room? I will admit that we had a mistake during our stay and an individual fell well playing Ping Pong and put a hole into the drywall with his shoulder. I called the owner after checkout to explain the situation and asked to be charged whatever was needed to repair the issue. Soon after we were informed that there was a chair broken. I explained no one ever sat at that table thus no one could have broken the chair. We got the bill for a replacement chair and paid the bill. Please do not take my comments about the air as a way to discourage you from this house, it offers so much to pass up. Just understand if you are someone who likes it cool when you sleep that may not happen by your standards.

We hosted our 2025 Family reunion in HSV. Adults and infants traveled from NYC, LA, San Diego, N. Dakota.... The property was perfect. Enough bedrooms for all and great common areas for games and fun. The big kitchen wa a hit as we prepared meals and warmed up bottles. The water front allowed for pontoon boat docking and we enjoyed the warm water of Lake Balboa. Check in and check out was a breeze. Voted most likely to host the next reunion!

Dream house for party of 16

The photos of the house don't do it justice. The home is very spacious and allowed 16 of us room to spread out as well as congregate when needed for meals. We spent many hours in the water floating and swimming. Kitchen is well stocked and everything is labeled so easy to find what we were looking for. Bob was a wonderful host and made sure everything was just right.

Arkansas family reunion

We loved our week at Bob's large home. Being at the end of the cove was great as it was calm for us all to play in the lake and use kayaks. Lots of space for everyone to enjoy. Loved the ping pong table. Large kitchen helped to prepare meals for our big family. Having 3 refrigerators gave us ease to keep beverages and food cold. It was great having our own dock to play and fish off of. Master suite was roomy and luxurious and all other bedrooms made for enough beds for 12 people. Living room was large enough for all of us to watch the Olympics together

Awesome Stay

We had a wonderful time from the beginning to end of our stay! The house was spacious, immaculate, and very comfortable. The large kitchen had the drawers clearly labeled so we found what we needed. The host left great, clear and helpful directions and information for us. He also was available to contact. The house backs up to a lake where there is a dock and kayaks available. It was an awesome place to stay!
