Our remodeled lake cottage sits on a quiet cove that overlooks beautiful Lake Hamilton. The WindWalker greets you with relaxing vibes and a serene decor of blues and grays. Sitting out on the deck at night surrounding the fire pit and looking out over all of the lights on the lake is mesmerizing. The cottage is in a quiet residential neighborhood, yet it is just minutes from the shopping, dining, and tourist attractions that Hot Springs, Arkansas has to offer. The space Unfortunately, there is always SOMEONE who disrespects house rules and makes it difficult for others. And yes, we too have met them at The WindWalker... Please know that our cottage is PERFECT for 1 - 2 couples, a small group of friends, or a family of 4. The MAXIMUM number of guests is 4. An additional charge of $100 PER person/PER night has been implemented to discourage bringing in additional guests without permission. Likewise, some people purposefully seek out PET-FREE homes. This IS a pet free home. An additional cleaning charge of $250 will be collected if proof is found that you allowed pets in against the house rules. We work hard to provide the cleanest SMOKE-FREE home for your vacation. In most cases, the owner co-cleans and/or does the final walkthrough inspection before guests arrive. Thank you in advance for respecting these 3 very important house rules. Guest access You will have access to the entire home, deck, driveway, front yard, and dock. Other things to note LAKE HAMILTON UPDATE: Beginning Nov. 1 annually, Entergy uses varying drawdowns on Lake Hamilton. The purpose of the drawdown is to control the spread of certain underwater plants that interfere with recreation. Because the depth of the water in our cove is only 5 feet deep, the cove is either very shallow [or dry] from November to March. You can, however, still enjoy the sights and lights on the lake's main channel from the covered deck year-round. We always look forward to March 1 when the normal water levels resume! BOATING OPTIONS: We are now able to provide 3 single-person sit-in kayaks, 1 tandem sit-on kayak (for two people) and one Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP), USCG approved life jackets, emergency whistles, and waterproof mobile phone cases through a nominally priced "rental program." The flat-fee charge is $50 for 1-2-night rentals, $65 for 3 nights or $80 for a 4 (or more) night rental. This fee covers the unlimited use of the "full flotilla" (kayaks and paddleboard) for the duration of your stay. All guests MUST also sign a liability waiver. The rental and use of the kayaks are TOTALLY OPTIONAL and you will not be charged unless you specifically request the use them. Additional rental options for kayaks and stand-up paddleboard (SUP) are just a few miles from The WindWalker is at Ouachita Outdoor Outfitters. Their pricing for a 24-HOUR rental: Single Kayak: $50 Tandem Kayak: $70 Fishing Kayaks: $70 SUP: $60 Delivery/Pickup: $50 Party Barge rentals are prevalent on Lake Hamilton. Contact me for pricing/location information. You are welcome to bring your own boat on a trailer. A public launching dock is only about a mile away. You may park your trailer in the driveway or up by the curb in the front. There is an uncovered dock in our very quiet cove that you may tie up to during your stay. There are NO jet ski rentals allowed on Lake Hamilton. You may ride jet skis if you bring them and launch them yourself, however. As always with all water sports---swim and boat with caution!
