Stan´s Cosy Casual Lake Hamilton - Hauptkanal - Barge Rental - Boots- und Schwimmdocks

The communication with Stan was flawless! He answered any and every question with in minutes. We met Mrs.Diane who showed us another property Stan has listed on VRBO. Our in and out went smoothly. We arrive to find the house clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The home has two fully functional living spaces and kitchens. We mainly used the lower level living space because we brought our senior dog. It was great being able to bring him! With his age he doesn't do well being kennelled. We met our adult children for a week of relaxing and watching the the sun rise and set on the lake. The favorite part of our week we're all the outdoor choices. Stan has a nice swimming dock, where we swim and fished. A nice concrete area on the shore where we enjoyed yoga, reading, morning coffee and cocktails.Got to use the fire pit one evening. There's also a nice covered deck,where we spend our evenings watching the lake. The larger deck for our meals. Screened in patio area was great for morning coffee and evening card game. Loved looking out over the lake on the top floor balcony. We used all seven of the out door spaces! We're trying to plan a fall visit. I know with all the out door spaces the property would be beautiful this fall! We only left the home a few times but here is a Harps grocery store just a few minutes away. There's also a putt putt golf right around the corner and the Wal-Mart Supercenter only 10 minutes away. Ready to revisit! Kim

Unique property with two complete living areas ( two kitchens and laundry and living /dining rooms on two floors. Stan has excellent communication skills. House is modern and homey. New safe deck on upper and lower levels. Great stay!

Wonderful place even in the winter! Loved the fire pit, everyone’s Christmas lights and it’s closeness to McDonalds for breakfast. Yes we did the Pancake house one morning. Hot Springs was perfectly lovely as were the Christmas lights at the gardens. Great getaway for just the adults.

The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed. But our favorite part was the outdoor space right on the lake with lots of seating, lots of shade, and a wonderful dock for swimming and fishing. We stayed outside almost all day. It was so beautiful and relaxing. Stan was very accommodating and very responsive to any questions.

The host was very charming. What i loved the most was the outside seating areas. We drank our coffee on the deck as well as ate some meals.

The place is nice and spacey. We loved sitting outside and the dogs loved checking out every inch - thankful for the fenced in yard. We will definitely be back in the spring or summer to take advantage of the swim dock and rent the pontoon.

This truly was the perfect lake vacation for us! The house was lovely with so many rooms having gorgeous views of the lake. The two floors with separate kitchens worked out well, particularly for the early risers who made coffee to watch the sun rise. The lakefront access for swimming, kayaking, and use of the pontoon boat was the best. We had quiet mornings during the week, perfect for coffee and breakfast on the porch. The backyard is fully fenced in, and our dogs lived their best lakeside life for sure. Stan is a great host, we will most definitely be back again in the future!

Stan was the epitome of a great host. Answered questions quickly and quickly as very attentive. The place was the perfect location on the water. We rented the pontoon for the entire week and it was worth every penny! Kids paddle boarded and kayaked. At night we had s’mores on the lakeside fire pit . Perfection! We will definitely be back!!

We enjoyed our stay - the location is perfect. The house is comfortable and the views are spectacular. If you are an avid kayaker or paddle boarder - know that there is really one true paddle board and it is missing the fin. Stan was awesome and bought a new paddle for us as the others were broken. Kayaks are missing the seats. The equipment is shared with the property next door. Perfect for kids playing by the docs - but not if you want to get out and explore the lake. Stan does have boats for that!

This was a great place to getaway for a week. It’s a short drive to bathhouse row, but the best part was being able to relax on the swim dock, jump in the water, and do some fishing. The property has everything we needed for our stay!

Excellent home that we really enjoyed! Home was very clean, beds were comfortable, plenty of space for everyone to spread out with very cozy spaces throughout the home. The outdoor lakefront is amazing. There are several comfortable and convenient sitting spaces from the decks down to the dock. We spent a lot of time just hanging out enjoying the peacefulness of the lake and the property. Communications with Stan were great, he was quick to answer several questions and very helpful with everything we needed. My teenagers loved this place and we will stay here again if future travels bring us back to the area.

Nice space - airy, light, comfortable living areas. Appliances worked well. Great location on the water & backyard nicely shaded. Several things were frustrating - we had 5 adults & had to ask for more toilet paper right off the bat. Cleaning service had done a poor job - we found a dirty dishwasher, 1/8" grease inside lid of cast iron pot; dried food inside crockpot; dried coffee in mug, etc. Hotel soap with short & curlies stuck in it in shower. Drawers had underwear & clothing left behind by former guests & showers all had partially used bottles of shampoo, apparently left behind as well. Oven had been used but not cleaned so created a smell when we used it. Liquid hand soap in 2 of 3 bathrooms had water added to the bottles!! Several hand towels were stained & threadbare. Good thing we took some of our own cooking equipment, like measuring cups, as we couldn't find a complete set in house. Spatulas apparently came from dollar store - cheap & difficult to use. Downstairs tub / shower combo drain was clogged badly - very long time to drain. Shower handle upstairs hangs loose so you have to grip the base of the unit to adjust. Front main bedroom door trigger doesn't work, so you have to put something in front of it from inside to keep door closed. Loose boards in carport base next to poles holding the carport cover were loose. I discovered this by stepping on them & barely kept my balance & avoided rather long protruding nail. Seat on one of the 2 lounge chairs on swimming deck was completely ripped so no one could sit on it. After a day I was afraid it might look like we did it, so I contacted Stan to let him know about it. He immediately affirmed that he knew we didn't rip it. So I'm left wondering why it wasn't replaced before we arrived...? New cleaning service showed up alone to view the property while we were there. Don't understand why that had to be done when guests were renting the space. It's not pleasant to spend the $ & arrive to find a number of relatively small but disturbing things that indicate lack of attention. In isolation, I probably wouldn't even mention most of these things, but collectively we had the impression that preparation for our stay was incomplete & unimportant.

I can't say enough great things about this property and host, as this vrbo rental was our favorite ever. Our family was looking for a relaxing stay, and the host went over and above to make it perfect for us. The house was clean and well equipped. We thoroughly enjoyed being right on the lake and use of kayaks and all the wonderful sitting areas. And our adult children loved having the top level for themselves. The host was always quick to respond to make sure we had what we needed which made our stay even more memorable. Thank you again for absolutely everything, and we will most definitely be back!

House has a lot of potential. Beautiful setting, lovely views, quaint and eclectic interior. However, it needs a general deep cleaning and maintenance strategy completed immediately. The review posted on 3/5/23 is accurate ++. Here’s a few things we found upon arrival: Floors, upholstery and carpets stained and dirty, Pillows on sofa had large rips and tears, refrigerator, had mildew in corners and under glass, oven was dirty with debris and ash, soap dispensers cloudy and moldy, left over items from previous guests; clothing in closet, used brush and other random items, towels were old, worn and stained. Some appeared to be rags, kitchen cabinets in general disarray. Christmas decorations just randomly in pantry along with roach bait and a dirty stained trash can, only broom available was taped together and fell apart when used. Stan seems nice but unapologetic about the condition of the house and doesn’t take responsibility for his lack of attention to the preparation of his guests/travelers.The burden falls on the renter to spend their vacation dealing with contacting him about these issues. We checked in and out the same day and found another lovely clean and well maintained lakefront house that met all our needs without having to worry about safety and well-being during our stay on lake hamilton. It’s pretty simple, travelers are looking for a clean, safe, well maintained home. That’s the bare minimum- everything else is extra.

We had the most wonderful time staying at this beautiful lakefront property! It was the perfect place to celebrate my sister's 60th birthday. The house was stunning—spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated with every detail thoughtfully considered. From 2 fully equipped kitchens to the cozy living spaces, we felt completely at home. The view of the lake was absolutely breathtaking, and we spent hours enjoying the peaceful surroundings.The location couldn’t have been more ideal—just minutes away from Oakland Park, so we had easy access to everything we needed while still enjoying the tranquility of the lake. The host truly left no stone unturned, ensuring that our stay was flawless from start to finish. Every comfort was provided, and we had everything we could possibly need.We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate such a special occasion. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing, beautiful, and well-appointed retreat. We’ll definitely be back!

Great location, great host. Only negative - floors could use a good cleaning/scrubbing.

It was a fantastic staying. Nice view of the river front. It would be nice to have window curtain for privacy and door lock up stair.

Unique property with two complete living areas ( two kitchens and laundry and living /dining rooms on two floors. Stan has excellent communication skills. House is modern and homey. New safe deck on upper and lower levels. Great stay!

Two separate living spaces including full kitchen and washer/dryer on both levels. The upstairs kitchen is large and spacious with a large gas cooktop.Great access to the water.

This place was amazing to stay at. Had all that was needed to cook or grill. They are very pet friendly although the dog rate was a little high 100 per dog but, they were welcomed everywhere and not restricted (so that was a big plus). The wi-fi was spotty and sometimes didn’t work at all. We couldn’t get our IPads to work with the WiFi at all.

Nice place for a family vacation on the lake. The split floor plan was a plus. The kayaks weren't on the property. They appeared to be at the house next door, which I believe is also owned by Stan. This wasn't an issue for us so it wasn't brought up. I'm sure Stan would have easily resolved this if I had reached out. Stan was a great host. Check in and out was a breeze.

Awesome. Beautiful house on the lake with a dock. Actually caught some large mouth bass. Bedrooms were cozy and the kitchen was perfect for cooking. The host was very accommodating.

Communication with the host was excellent! I loved the house! Being able to sit and look out the windows at the water was so relaxing! The house is in such close proximity to anything and everything in Hot Springs! Loved having the 2 kitchens and 2 sets of washers/dryers! Will definitely stay here again when visiting Hot Springs!

The lake view is amazing and the house is set up well for 3 couples. We spent most of our time outside enjoying the view! Having access to the pontoon boat was an added bonus.

Stan was a wonderful host. The home was spacious and on the water in a quiet neighborhood. We vacationed here in early May and had a truly relaxing week. We really enjoyed the amenities like access to kayaks and SUP. The kitchen is well stocked with anything you might need, including a waffle maker. Easy access to downtown Hot Springs and minutes from a grocery store. Beautiful vacation property!

The property is in a wonderful location with all that you need for a great stay. Communication with the owner was fantastic. The only down side was the outdoor lake toys. They could use some attention and we didn't have everything available that was listed. However we would absolutely stay there again! Loved it!!

We had a great time at Stan's! The place is beautiful (especially that upstairs kitchen!) and we enjoyed our day on the lake. Be sure and ask him about renting his pontoon boat. Stan is a great communicator and I would give him higher than 5 if I could. Thanks!

We had a wonderful time! The house was perfect for us! We enjoyed it so much we only left to go to the Derby! We had a tornado blow through during our stay and felt completely safe. Stan made check-in and check-out a breeze and check on us throughout the storms. Perfect piece of Heaven on Earth!

Absolutely perfect. Great communication with owner. Beautiful home. We will definitely be back!

Location was excellent and very convenient to grocery store and restaurants. Fenced in yard was great for our 2 doodles who had a great time chasing squirrels and watching ducks. The outdoor seating areas and docks were a plus.

This worked out to be an excellent getaway. We booked last minute and everything went very smoothly. We came from WI and met family from MI. Stan was very accommodating and communication was great. We enjoyed the views from the house, back seating areas and pier. On our trip we enjoyed mining for crystals and visited bathhouse row. We will definitly visit the area again.

A quiet spot on the lake to relax. Close enough to go into Hot Springs or Lake Ouachita for sightseeing or hiking.

Perfect space - privacy, location, amenities. A beautiful, comfortable home and great communication with owner.

Stan's property is fantastic. Plenty of room, fully stocked. Great location to all the fun of Hamilton Lake, the National Park & Garvan Gardens. Thank you!
