Derby Time

We had 8 of us staying on property for a long weekend. Beau was very responsive and was on site promptly to show us around. House was wonderful and well accommodating for us 4 couples. Also enjoyed the 9-hole disc golf course. Very challenging, but extremely fun.Highly recommend taking advantage of the dock slip and renting a boat while on the water. Lake Hamilton was beautiful and the arm of the lake that the property sits is nestled quietly away that it makes for an adventure Would absolutely love to return come summertime. Thank you, Beau for the hospitality.

Great place to relax and have fun!

We really enjoyed our time at this secluded lake cabin. It was quiet, had fun things to do, and was clean and spacious. Beau was a great host and it was nice to know they were close by. The disc golf course, boat dock, ping pong table, and game table were perfect for our family of young men. The house had everything we needed, including very nice kitchen amenities and comfortable beds. We could get to town easily for shopping, hiking, and dining. Highly recommend this rental and would love to come again.

Flawless experience.

We had a guys group stay and play for a disc golf weekend. The check in process was without incident. Property was flawless, well stocked with everything you could need for a weekend at the lake. The disc golf course is well marked, maintained, and designed. A very technical and pretty long course, I would compare it to a much longer reservoir or a much tighter cedar glades. The boat dock stairs are a little steep and could be challenging for a more elderly person, but no one in our group had any issues. 10 out of 10 would recommend

Perfect getaway for family gathering

First impressions; beautiful log cabin in a peaceful wooded area; inside the cabin comfortable with an open floor plan perfect for family gatherings; nicely furnished and managed by a great host. Beau greeted us upon arrival and took the time to show us around and explain where and how things worked. The property is in a large wooded area with access to the lake and plenty of places to gather. It also has a professionally designed disc golf course that runs throughout the property. It's the perfect place to relax with family or friends. Our family had an outstanding experience there and plan on returning in the future.

Stunning log home with lots of privacy

This house was perfect for our stay. Not only is the home gorgeous, but it has every amenity you could hope for. The secluded location is still convenient to groceries and restaurants. It is also a quick 20 min drive to Hot Springs National Park and Garvan Woodland gardens. I'm so happy we chose this amazing home!

Had a great stay at Beau’s place! Had the best girls weekend and the house was the perfect setting… Beautiful woods surrounded the house, enough beds for all of our guests, fire pit, and great proximity to downtown as well as Fisherman’s Wharf where we went for dinner one of the nights.

Amazing place to stay!

Me and my family recently stayed a few nights at this beautiful cabin the first week of October. We had the best time relaxing in the most spacious and luxurious home. We spent the days fishing and playing some disc golf. Very secluded and only minutes from great food and other activities. We couldn't have been more pleased with our stay and our host Beau was outstanding. We will definitely be back again. Highly recommend staying here you won't be disappointed. John

Hot Springs Cabin

Property is beautiful! Cabin is large, but feels like home. Property owner met us upon arrival and gave us a tour and some helpful information. Cabin is well furnished and the outdoor space is very accommodating for meals and relaxing. The fire pit, sitting area down near the water allowed us quiet time on the lake. We enjoyed our stay so much. Near by hikes and MTB trails were outstanding!

Amazing Getaway!

Restful Lodge was probably the best vacation rental we have ever stayed in, and we have stayed in many! The owners were so friendly and helpful and took the time to visit with us and show us around the property. The house is amazing! It is large enough to accommodate big families and has everything you could ever need. It is very close to town and all the amenities, and has lake and covered boat access. We loved every minute of our stay!

Amazing House

We were in Hot Springs for a family vacation with our adult age kids and wanted somewhere on the lake with some privacy and wow, did we find the perfect house. The pictures just don’t do it justice, it’s an amazing property and the hosts are incredible and very accessible – on arrival, we walked through the house with Beau, the owner, and he made sure we were familiar with the house and answered all of our questions - when we had a few additional questions, he was a quick call away. The house was perfect for our family and had everything you’d want in a vacation home – spacious bedrooms, gourmet kitchen, game room with a table tennis table, large and very comfortable living room, amazing wrap around deck and much more – it even has a professional 9-hole disc golf course on the property, and we certainly took advantage of that feature! We had a fantastic vacation in an amazing house!
