This cabin is so perfect! The inside has the sweetest antique touches blended with modern vibes—like stepping back into a simpler time but with all the comforts you need. The screened-in front porch is everything. I could sit out there all day with my coffee, soaking in the peace. the dock—it’s the dreamiest spot for lake jumping, sunset watching, or just letting life slow down for a bit. Will definitely be back!

Lakefront Fun!
We stayed here over Fourth of July weekend and we all had so much fun! Watching the fireworks over the lake was absolutely magical. The house is cozy, cute, and comfortable. The covered porch cannot be beat and the dock made swimming a blast! We roasted marshmallows in the outdoor fireplace and cooked most of our meals in the indoor kitchen, which had everything we needed. Try McClard’s BBQ and DeLuca’s Pizza while you’re in town!

Cute and clean!
The neighborhood was nice! The house was literally within probably 15 minutes of everywhere! The house is small but decorated so cute and it was so clean! They supplied dishes and utensils, towels, and it was all very nice! The real star of the show was the view of the lake! From morning to night the views are amazing! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone! The screened in porch was so wonderful as well! Communication with the owner was great as he was very responsive and helpful!

Perfect getaway
This little house was absolutely perfect for our trip. The swimming off of the dock was a favorite with the kids I'm so glad I went with the host's suggestion to have Rocky's pizza because it was the best. Definitely don't have pizza like that in Oklahoma City. The place has to have great insulation because there was one day that we didn't even turn the air conditioners on and the highs were in the '90s. If we come back to Hot Springs we will be staying here again.

Loved The View!
Our short 3 days stay was very relaxing! We enjoyed fishing off the dock and we did build a fire in the evening in the fireplace! The view was amazing from the screened in porch (which we loved!) and the location was great! We will be returning renters! Only issue we had was the keycode didn't work and we had to reachout to the owners. They did respond within 1 hour and came to reset it.

Great view!
Great location, close to the things we wanted to do in Hot Springs. Loved relaxing on the back porch and looking over the lake. It’s an older house so it has the quirks and creaks That come with an older home. There was nowhere to eat and sit inside so we ate every meal on the back porch. It was not a problem with our weather, but I could see that potentially being uncomfortable in the middle of summer. It was perfect for our family for this vacation.

Our weekend stay
This little cabin is nothing fancy, but it is was a relaxing place. The area is really quiet, and peaceful. We enjoyed it, not based on the cabin being anything luxurious. But it was well kept, and the area was nice. Reminded me of my nanas lake house growing up, it was perfect for me and my wife.

This cabin was just right for a quick little getaway. Quiet and cozy. The view of the lake from the living room and porch are perfect to drink coffee and enjoy the view. Communication/check-in/check-out with the owner was very good. Would definitely recommend for a couples getaway.

Back porch lake view
The Back Porch Cabin was a cozy and charming place with a lovely view. It was nicely appointed and comfortable. However, communication with the landlord could be improved. The shower water pressure was low and unfortunately not very warm, which was a drawback.

We walked in & walked right back out! We got a hotel room in hot springs. It reminded me of a shed! It was junky & falling apart. The driveway is so steep with gravel we had to put the truck in 4 wheel drive to leave! We’ve rented cabins before & this one was just horrible! We felt very uncomfortable there! We came to relax & enjoy our get away.
