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 areas.
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.

Unforgettable family memories made on this summer family vaca trip. The host, Wendy, is an absolute joy to interact with. And the lake house it's self has such a perfectly warm welcoming feel with a touch of old cabin rustic atmosphere. Being able to walk down to the dock, float on the river each day, fish when we wanted. And then to have multiple outdoor cooking and dining areas. Honestly the first place we've gone where we didn't have to get on to our kids about getting of electronics. They didn't want to leave, even ask to stop Saturday before our 4th of July dinner on the water reso to buy a Powerball ticket in hopes of winning and buying our own lake house. Thank you Wendy for thinking of EVERYTHING and for being so easy to work with. We hope to visit again in the future!!!!

I cannot say enough about our stay at this precious cabin! Everything was perfect from check in to check out, and Wendy and Greg were wonderful hosts. The location is perfect for anything you could possibly want to do in Hot Springs, but we could’ve spent the entire weekend at the cabin having plenty to do. We loved it, and will definitely be 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.
