'The Captain's Cottage' on Lake Hamilton

This cottage is one of 2 that we offer on vrbo.com for nightly rentals. You can see the other cottage at vrbo.com and search #314987.

The Captain's Cottage is a quaint fishing cottage that makes the perfect retreat for honeymooners, a couples getaway or a family up to 4. The kitchen, dining and living room are all open to each other creating a bright and sunny atmosphere. There are many large windows which allow a lake view from every room in the house. Kitchen has been updated with granite counter tops.

Just steps away from the front door, you are sure to enjoy swimming, sunning, fishing, bird and boat watching and all of the activities that lend itself to lake living. The house has a great swim area, a large swim dock and a deck on the front of the house that faces the lake. You don't want to miss the sunrises and sunsets from the deck of the Captain's House. They are truly breathtaking and yes, you can see both from the deck and the dock.

Hot Springs National Park has been known as Arkansas' premiere resort town since Hernando Desoto. (That's a long time!) Attractions to see include: the National Park, Magic Springs Amusement and Water Park, The Belle of Hot Springs Riverboat, Garvan Woodland Gardens, Oaklawn Race Track and Casino, Mid America Science Museum, The 5 Star Theater, Gangster Museum, Pirate Cove Mini Golf, and shopping in our beautiful downtown. Hot Springs is also a great place take a bath and massage, hike, horseback ride, shop, golf, eat--great restaurants, and of course.....relax.

We hope to see you soon at the 'Captain's Cottage'

Sincerely, Captain Mark and Gigi Buhrow

Our stay at this lake house was absolutely perfect for our family of four — my husband, our two small boys, and me. The location is peaceful and quiet, right in the heart of Lake Hamilton, and it truly feels like a little slice of heaven. We loved waking up to the beautiful lake views through the large windows every morning and enjoying our coffee on the front porch while taking in the serenity of the water. Our boys especially loved fishing right off the dock. I highly recommend walking down to the dock in the evening to take in the sunset and shimmering night lights on the water at night. The house was clean and comfortable for a relaxing getaway. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot to unwind and make memories together.

It was exactly what we were looking for. It was a bummer we couldn't open any of the windows though, as the breeze during our stay was lovely. I appreciated the decor, the dishwasher and quality towels. Bed was great. Kitchen was well appointed, liked that a lot! We were outside most of the time. Just amazing. A propane grill would have been more convenient, but the charcoal grill was in very good shape, so, that was nice. The dock was just wonderful! We fished every day and night! Boat watching was so entertaining. We were so happy to have found this property. Thank you so much!

What a find! This charming cottage was exactly what we were looking for when we decided we needed a quick little getaway on the water! It is situated literally just a few steps from the shoreline with easy access to the water for our aging Vizsla to enjoy a quick swim with us! Though the fish weren’t biting at the times we chose to try, we enjoyed casting from the roomy pier. The interior of the comfy cottage boasts an adorable decor arranged with the practiced eye of an artistic soul and is well equipped with essentials. Mark and Gigi were excellent hosts, and provided reliable suggestions for making the most of the area. We would count ourselves lucky to book this property again!

Property owners were very gracious and kind. Cottage was just perfect size for me, it has two bedrooms and pull out sofa so it accomadates more. I highly recommend this cottage right on the lake, you even have your own personal pier, nice lounge chairs to sun yourself. I didn’t want to leave!
