About this house rental
Drive down a canopy of crepe myrtle trees to the quintessential lake cabin. Upon entering the great room in this historical cabin, you'll immediately notice the beamed ceilings and stacked stone fireplace that create a warm, yet open environment. A sunken den with half-timbers overlooks the lake. 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms complete the private areas. Don't miss the large deck, covered boat dock, sport court and grilling area.
The main cabin of the house was built in the early 1900’s. The cabin was originally a one room hunting cabin with a fireplace and a wood burning stove. The cabin pre-dated the lake and sat about a mile away from the Ouachita River on a ridge above Stokes Creek. When the Carpenter Dam was finished in 1931 forming Lake Hamilton, the little hunting cabin, was fortunately located well above the water line, thus becoming a lakefront property. In 1952, the property owner built a three story structure incorporating the original cabin and adding, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, a small living room, and a basement.
The property was owned by U.S. Senator and former Arkansas Governor David Pryor and wife, Barbara for approximately 30 years before we purchased the property in 2012. Rumor has it Al Capone fancied the cabin for poker games along with his cronies. If only the walls could talk!
The original cabin warmly greets you as you enter the front door, and the woodsy aroma of a 120 year history of peaceful memories and healing experiences takes you to a special place that instantly feels like home.
We provide two stand-up paddle boards, canoe, kayak, sport court for badminton or corn hole and giant Jenga.

We stayed in this beautiful lake home for Thanksgiving with our family. I have never stayed in a VRBO home with a more furnished and supplied kitchen! The fireplace is wood burning and the owner supplied fire wood for us to be able to enjoy it! The beds were comfortable and we found the whole house so inviting! The property is so beautiful and just as pictured on the lake in a quiet area. We enjoyed the stay so much that we rented it again for my grandsons birthday 3 weeks later. I definitely recommend!

From the minute we walked in we felt so at home like we were staying in our own family cabin. Wendy and Greg are the greatest hosts and the cabin was more than stocked and had everything we could need. The lake was inviting we spent a lot of time in it
If you are looking for the amazing cabin I highly recommend it we can’t wait to come back

Fun cabin, very unique. Plus: well stocked with amenities and the dock was great! Cons: the whole cabin was musty and smelled of mildew; the floors, sheets and kitchen surfaces were clean but the whole house needs a deep cleaning-the rafters, all the decor, needs cleaning. The bathrooms have gaps without caulk where Im sure water sits and has become black mold--i love the old tile but it needs to be caulked and probably re-grouted, and there's visible black mold on the wall inside the downstairs shower. I appreciate that they didn't use scented detergents on the towels and bedding, but i can tell some of the doors have lead paint on them, so consider that if you have small kids. For the price paid for cleaning and all the fees, and considering the mold and must, I'd not stay there again at that price.
