'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

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!

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!
