Relaxing, Cozy Cottage on the Lake with kayaks - 2 Guest Maximum

If you are looking for peace and tranquility, this is the place for you. This cozy home is 2 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms with breathtaking views of the main channel on Lake Catherine. Open floor plan has grand views from the kitchen and living areas. The large back deck allows you to enjoy the abundant nature this quiet home has to offer and is a bird watcher’s paradise. The deck is equipped with patio furniture, table and charcoal grill.
This property has swimming, fishing and boating on the calm waters of Lake Catherine. There is a 36' x 6' pier with boat bumpers, tie up hooks and a swim ladder. Relax on our attached 26' x 12' floating dock with Adirondack chairs and Umbrella. So bring your boat and water toys.
The first bedroom has a king size bed with half bath. The second bedroom has a queen size bed with window looking out at the lake. Both bedrooms have a wall mounted flat screen TVs, ceiling fans and USB charging stations. The living areas are furnished with comfortable seating and a large 50-inch TV. All TVs are equipped with Roku, Hulu, 70 channels of live TV including all major networks and ESPN channels plus a movie library. The Home is equipped with high speed WIFI Internet.
Kitchen is fully equipped with refrigerator/ water and ice dispenser, microwave, stove / oven, dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster and blender and is fully stocked with dishes, cook wear and utensils. We have an outdoor, gas grill on the patio so you can cook while enjoying the view of the lake. You can come for a vacation and never leave this property!
Want to see the sights, we are just 15 minutes to just about anywhere in Hot Springs, Historic Downtown Hot Springs National Park, South Central Avenue Business and Restaurant Areas or Beautiful Garvan Woodland Gardens.
THIS HOME IS LIMITED TO 2 GUEST AND IS NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN, but is perfect for a couple to relax and enjoy the surrounding nature. Parties, Events or gathering of any kind is NOT permitted.
WINTER LAKE DRAW DOWN, From November 1 through March 10th, Lake management typically lowers Lake Catherine and Lake Hamilton from 3-5 feet. This will expose the lake bed in shallow areas around the property and the dock will have little water below it if any.
The Property has 2 exterior security cameras mounted on the eave by the garage. The camera's coverage is the front of the house and driveway.

Great river view

Great location, river view and access. Spent lots of time in Adirondack chairs down by river. Only a short 10 minute drive to bathhouse row. Very clean and had everything we needed including a gas grill on patio.

Soul Soothing Weekend Getaway

The Cozy Cottage on the Lake is absolutely beautiful and peaceful. The home is sparkling clean and the landscaping is superb. We watched cardinals, blue martins, woodpeckers, hummingbirds and more eat and fly around the yard. We also saw ducks and geese playing in the lake. Julie and Roger are great hosts. The care and love that they put into the property is evident. Book this home, you will be glad that you did!

Wonderful Escape!

This property was perfect for us in every way. We needed a peaceful, quiet retreat, and we found it. Truly, the house was immaculately clean. The den windows looked over a huge deck and the river below, which was beautiful. There was a pier for fishing or swimming. The kitchen and bathrooms were well-stocked. It was very quiet and comfortable. The neighborhood was safe. We had a wonderful trip and would love to return in the future.

PERFECTION! That sums it up. The property is immaculately kept and spotlessly clean. Easy access down to the lake, lots of trees and shade. Quiet because not on the main body of Lake Catherine. The patio/deck is very large, plenty of room to entertain or just relax. Inside there is room for everyone to chill in 2 open sitting areas with large windows to enjoy the view. The owners have provisioned pretty much anything you will need in the large kitchen. Beds are comfortable, bathrooms are nice. And if watching birds and squirrels in the trees and fish jumping in the lake are not enough nature for you, there are a couple of cottage kitties for you to interact with. Owners are very responsive and left helpful info for guests. I will definitely be back!

Absolutely Beautiful!

My husband and I loved this house! The view of the lake from the living area was spectacular and so relaxing. We sat outside on the huge deck daily with our morning coffee or the floating deck in the evenings with a glass of wine. The beds were very comfortable and allowed for a good nights sleep. Communication with Julie and Roger was excellent. We would definitely stay here again.
It was very peaceful on the floating deck.

Birthday Trip

Stay was phenomenal. Nice neighborhood, quiet street, home was very well kept and everything was spotless. Amazing view in every area of the home. The floating dock was so peaceful for an evening to relax. We loved watching the birds out of the kitchen wondow in the morning. Cant forget all the beautiful plants and "Cottage Kitty" was a bonus. Host were very accommodating and repsonse time was quick. Easy access as we had a late arrival, lights were on and home was very welcoming. Would definitely recommend a stay here. I know we will be back.
