Top Story Hotel Reviews

The Hamilton - Lakefront & Studio Suites, Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"Location was great for our stay."

Back Porch Lake View's on Lake Hamilton Main Channel, Family Friendly, Cozy Vibe

10/10 Excellent

"We had an awesome time. My daughter, her teenage son and daughter and I went for a nice quiet, relaxing weekend. We got what we wished for. Plenty of space to enjoy being in the water and the beautiful sunsets. Will recommend to friends. June 12th-14th 2026"

Your PRIVATE Hot Springs Lake Hamilton Vacation Paradise

10/10 Excellent

"If you are looking for a house on Lake Hamilton….STOP…. Look no more. This is your destination to a heavenly resort of paradise. The hosts were so kind and welcoming. The house was clean and so well stocked! My family rents a vacation home every year in different locations in the United States but this place far exceeds any we have stayed at! Instead of giving them a 10 I’d have to give them a 20!!"

The Point of Paradise 2

10/10 Excellent

"Our family of 5 adults and 2 children slept comfortably in Paradise Point 2. The primary bedroom is particularly large and comfortable. Our grandsons, ages 6 and 3, loved the bunk beds and large TV in their room. We spent much of our time on the lovely covered porch with a view of the pool and Lake Hamilton and a large TV. We didn't take advantage of the hot tub but it looked clean and nice. The pool was a big hit with the entire family. It was clean, an appropriate temperature and had nice loungers in and around the pool. The size of the pool was approximately 12' x 26' and 4 1/2' deep. The neighborhood was quiet as was the area of the lake where the private boat dock is just a short paved walk down the backyard. We liked the location also because it was close to restaurants, Neighborhood Market and fun children's activities. Zachary was very responsive and answered all our questions."

BEST VIEW on Lake Hamilton

10/10 Excellent

"Property looks even better than the VRBO pictures.There are concrete steps from the dock area that go into the lake. Water is shallow enough for young children, but quickly deepens. Perfect for swimming.The bedroom is very large and could easily fit additional cribs/pack n plays.Host was very accommodating and quick to reply to messages. A great stay and a beautiful lakeside retreat."

Starlight Haven Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"We received email with our code, when we arrived, it didn’t work. I was able to call the number and receive a new code. They were responsive when I text a question as well. The dome was very clean and plenty of towels and dishes. The beds were very comfortable and sheets were nice quality. Very lovely area, it is close to other domes but situated as where can’t really see each other. The last night we had very inconsiderate neighbors that did not follow the quiet hours rules. We heard another neighbor chew them out at 1:30 in the morning. We could hear them in our dome, I was able shut door to bathroom to minimize their noise but my son could hear them in top loft. The club house was very nice, we enjoyed the pool table. We did not use the hot tub. We tried one of trails, but it wind behind the domes and cabins. Check out was super simple, we followed their guidebook. We really liked the gated entrance and felt safe. We would stay here again, easy drive into Hot Springs."

Boutique Woodland Cabin Retreat at Hamilton Cove

8/10 Good

"Cabin was clean and cozy. We had some confusion with finding the cabin. The host was very helpful and answered questions. My son was able to enjoy a little fishing while there. If you like to cook, the kitchen is smaller than what I expected. Over all a great place to relax. Definately would go back."
