About this property

'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

The property is very old but well maintained. Kitchen was stocked with plenty of cooking essentials. Charming decorations. It’s just a few steps to the water.They also allowed my larger dog. Only negative was a sewer smell in the air outside. Not sure where that was coming from however.

Our stay at this lake house was absolutely perfect for our family of four — my husband, our two small boys, and me. The location is peaceful and quiet, right in the heart of Lake Hamilton, and it truly feels like a little slice of heaven. We loved waking up to the beautiful lake views through the large windows every morning and enjoying our coffee on the front porch while taking in the serenity of the water. Our boys especially loved fishing right off the dock. I highly recommend walking down to the dock in the evening to take in the sunset and shimmering night lights on the water at night. The house was clean and comfortable for a relaxing getaway. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot to unwind and make memories together.

GREAT getaway!

Super easy check in. Accurate posting. Great stay for me, my husband, and our 2 teenage boys (18 & 15). Easy 20 minute drive from Camp Ozark, reason we were in the area. The view of the lake on the porch and pier were impeccable! In town and close to anything you may need. Only negative was driveway was pretty steep but nothing our vehicle (Toyota Highlander) couldn't handle. Will definitely stay here again if in the area!

Amazing property!!

Amazing cottage, super clean and nicely nested in a great neighborhood with lots of stores and places to go. The owners couldn’t be more helpful and gracious towards us, super eager to help and ensure everything is smooth throughout the process. My wife and pups had a great time at the cottage. I 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice and peaceful place to vacation and enjoy life, can’t wait for next summer to come back again, Thank you so much Mark and Gigi!!! Y’all are rockstars.
