Sunroom can sleep 3-4 smaller people! Firepit, Charcoal Grill, Pacman Arcade game, cornhole & board games! Fun! We have two separate living areas so everyone has room to spread out in our designer mid century modern (mcm) vibe home.

You won't find a more convenient location in the area. We're less than 2 miles from I-70 and only 3 miles to Oaklawn Racing and Gaming! Starbucks, Walmart, Kroger and lots and lots of shops and restaurants are all within 5 minutes of the house.

Have a boat? You can can launch it just around the corner at Hot Springs Marina - only 1/2 mile away! Dock tie-up in season: March - October. Plenty of parking for a trailer in our circle driveway.
Don't have a boat? Pontoon rentals are also available at the marina.

Just ask us!

Kids will LOVE our sunroom/family room with two enormous "Big Joe" bean bags and vintage board games & Pacman Arcade too! The grown ups will love the covered back deck with patio seating, a swing for 2, large grill and awesome views of the water. Relax in the Adirondack chairs around the firepit & make your own s'mores! Perfect spots for that morning cup of coffee or evening glass of wine under the stars.

note: one of the futons is in the master bedroom, the other 2 futons (each sleep one) plus the twin foldout bed are all in the sunroom

Check in was great. The home is "retro" and has not been updated in most of the areas, but is clean and well kept and functional! There is a stackable washer and dryer that work great, glass stove top, modern oven that is small, dishwasher that are all great. The game room was awesome--my boys loved to have their space, while the living room/sitting room was great to read and get lots of natural sunlight while staying cool. The bedrooms all had big beds, which my crew appreciated. The beds were very soft and comfortable. Bathrooms were small, but functional and clean. The electrical system is old school, but there were adapters in the kitchen drawer to help with that. There were also box fans (we are box fan people for sleep) that were provided. the outdoor area was very comfortable, quiet and peaceful. The water area in the cove is VERY shallow, so not ideal for swimming. The kids loved the kayaks provided and took off for the larger area of the lake. We loved the quietness of the area, while being very close to the city centre. Jennifer was SO kind and mailed our forgotten pillow back to us. We loved our stay!

Very clean, fun and homey atmosphere. All accomodations met. We purchased extra toilet paper since there wasnt much extra.We also rented a boat down at the marina. Its a little hard to swim in the back. Very shallow and there was a lot of trash in the water. Kids enjoyed all the games and outdoor activities. Besides the swimming, the vent in the master bath sweats a lot above the toilet so water dripped down to the floor. We put a towel down so it would catch it. We would recommend.

Such a great house and it was perfect for our family of six. It was bigger than it seemed in person! Loved the retro decor, comfortable beds and furniture. We enjoyed the fire pit area, swing, covered patio and kayaks. Plenty of room to play games inside and out! Good communication with the host. Close to grocery store and activities. We all had a great time and look forward to staying here again!

Lakeside Retreat

The house was exactly as listed and was the perfect getaway for our family Spring Break! My parents arrived first and sent me a text saying "the house is awesome" followed a little later by "these are my people, there is a frosted glass in the freezer!" The house was clean and well stocked. We would stay here again!

Spring Break get-a-way

We stayed at the retro ranch for a few days over spring break. It is so cute and very clean! The outdoor area is especially nice and my kids loved the bonus room with Pac-Man and big bean bag chairs. It is easy to get anywhere in Hot Springs, and we had a great little trip! Thanks!

Gathering of girlfriends

Location is good, house is spacious. General areas clean enough but under cabinets, microwave, and dishes were not. It needs a thorough cleaning. All Linens needed replacing. Hairdryer so small not usable. Beds OK. House is somewhat "retro" but mostly just old. Old cabinets, doors don't close well. Dining chair fabric so worn it was torn and ripped on multiple chairs. We stayed, but I was very disappointed. You can be old "retro" and still be clean and fully functional. Would not stay here again.
