The hot tub did not work. On the 2nd day we messaged the host. The housekeeper amber answered the msg. She sd she wld come over. She did. She explained how to use it. We left for magic springs. When we got back we followed the procedure, but it still wouldn't heat. It was abt 5 pm & i messaged her again. Gave her our phone number & asked her to call and walk us thru the procedure. We never heard from anyone. Left disappointed. Feel like we deserve a partial refund. The house was nice & it was clean, but cld use a little upgrading & repair.

The host responded immediately with any questions we had. The house was comfortable and big enough for my family. I wish the water in the lake would've been higher to make the view prettier, but we couldn't have sat outside to enjoy it much anyway with the cold weather. The house was really close to hiking and downtown which made.it really convenient.

Great stay. Dogs loved having a space to run and play. I’d advise one to bring a hair dryer as there wasn’t one. Oh, and your own bath soap. Plenty of other necessities available to us. Will stay again next time we go to Hot Springs!

James, the host, is very accomodating. We had a great stay. The views were beautiful and the house floor plan was very comfortable. We enjoyed making pop corn from the "movie style" pop corn maker. Unfortunately, the hot tub wasn't working which James tried to get someone to fix it.

This house is super adorable!! Exactly as posted. The driveway is not long, so we had to park long ways. The ping pong table was so much fun!! We also had so much fun feeding geese off the dick! There was not a matress cover on the master, but everything was clean. We didnt receive check in instructions until I messaged, but he responded immediately. We never received check out instructions, so we did the normal check out things that are typical for VRBO. Overall it was great!

Just what the doctor ordered!

I’m gonna start with the property. It was just as depicted in the photos - a marvelous lake house, decorated as such, with all the amenities listed and desired. We had plenty of room for the six of us (3 adults and 3 kids). The kids were 6, 11, & 13. The kitchen was large with plenty of counter space which included a bar. All of the kitchen tools needed, plus some and abundant cabinet storage. We cooked breakfast every morning and dinner most evenings and had ample storage and prep room for a weeks worth of groceries. The outdoor area was very nice with plenty of room for all of us. Also, the grill was practically new which we enjoyed. Next, the area and lake were awesome. Lake Hamilton and the local eateries were somewhat upscale and inviting. The food choices were many as well as variety. The area close to the property felt safe, as well as the merchants we visited near the neighborhood. Jim, the owner, was very attentive and receptive to all of our needs and questions. He was genuinely interested in making our stay as pleasant as possible. We really enjoyed our time there. The house, area, and owner made it a great vacation spot. I would definitely recommend staying at Jim’s lake house, you won’t be disappointed.

Great Lake House

Great house for our family reunion stay. We had 6 adults and our dogs and there was plenty of room for everyone. The deck was great, even though it was hot outside we did use the hot tub. The beds were very comfortable. We did have use of the boat which was the hi-lite of the trip. We used it for water skiing and to get to a restaurant for dinner. Nice area and neighborhood.

Nice home close to everything you need and a bonus being on the lake

We all enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room for our group. The back deck was really nice and enjoyed our geese that visited everyday. We had a few issues at the beginning but the owner was easy to communicate with and very helpful. If you’re looking for a nice home within a short drive to everything and on the lake , this is definitely the place. Thank you for a wonderful stay :)

We had a fantastic time at the Woodsy Lake Retreat! The home was exactly what we were hoping for—very spacious with plenty of bedrooms to comfortably accommodate our group. Everyone had enough room to spread out and relax, but the common areas were also perfect for spending time together.The location is great—quiet and private, tucked away just enough to feel secluded, but still close to everything you need. The lake access is absolutely wonderful—easy to get to and perfect for swimming, kayaking, or just sitting by the water with a drink in hand.The house was well-stocked with all the amenities we needed, and you can tell it’s been thoughtfully set up for guests. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and made our stay super comfortable.Overall, it was a peaceful, relaxing retreat that gave us the perfect mix of downtime and lake fun. Would definitely come back again!

Calming views with a great location for a hot springs getaway!

The views and scenery were amazing! We loved all the windows to take it all in. We had some rainy days here and there so the ping pong table and board games were an extra bonus to keep us entertained. The fishing was great with some night crawlers, it kept the family entertained for days. The hot tub was plenty warm. Property was clean and inviting. Plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen was nicely stocked, paper towels included and they had great coffee options. The Owner was a pleasure to talk to. As a prev review said Sam’s Pizza is just down the road, we enjoyed the food and scenery there as well.

Worst vrbo ive rented

First of all i picked this place for the hot tub and it was outdated and only kinda worked the first day.The house had dirty sheets and only one roll of paper towels. No blinds on any windows and the upstairs rooms for not very secure for kids to sleep up there has a door with small lock and no blinds. No broom so we couldn’t even keep a clean floor while visiting.One tv in the whole house and internet was lagging a lot. No out door playground and the game room is a bunch ofold nasty chairs and a pingpong table. Also the game room has a bunch of junk all over for kinds to trip and like 3 closets have junk hazards in them. I layed good money for the house and it was a huge disappointment.
