About this cottage rental

Located in Garland County, this attractive cottage for $207 per night is a fantastic choice for your next trip. About our listing: Almost new secluded two story lakefront with beautiful views of lake, mountain, and sunset . Includes fishing dock, canoe, paddle boat, kayak and outdoor seating with fire pit. Enter from either 1st or 2nd story. Upstairs is one 20x25 bedroom/ sitting room with wall of windows facing lake. It has one king size bed, two swivel rockers, leather easy chair, coffee bar alcove with 2 stools and table, 40" TV, electric fireplace, closet and armoire. Flooring is lovely antique pine board. Downstairs has a full kitchen with cherry cabinets, repurposed cedar wood butcher block counters with 4 oak swivel bar stools, a round oak table and stainless steel appliances. Under the stairwell is cushioned seating with storage underneath. The stairs feature drift/curly vine wood railing. Seating downstairs also includes an inner-spring, double/queen futon. The 7x9 bathroom has a tiled shower, cherry cabinet, one sink, toilet and closet. The downstairs floor is scored and stained concrete with area carpets. The cottage is designed for 2-3 adults (age 25 and older, pls). No children and no pets. NOTE for winter season visitors: This year the local lakes will be lowered 5 feet from early November 2023 to early March 2024. At that time, many if not most lake properties have either limited lake access or little water under their docks. That said, you will still enjoy the Blue Heron Cottage comforts, views and wildlife, and the Hot Springs’ attractions and recreation – shoreline hikes, the downtown galleries, the National Park, Oaklawn Race and Gaming, etc. Please see numerous reviews by our guests (during the several fall/winter seasons), including the following: "We enjoyed watching the geese fly in at night and then fly out in the morning." "In the morning, we watched lots of song birds in the back yard and watched seagulls flying over the lake….we were even able to see an eagle on our last day. It was a great stay and I can't wait to stay again." "In a secluded natural setting the cottage is spacious and well lit as well as comfortable. . . . Great location from Hot Springs and Garven Woodland Gardens!” “At this cottage you are a few minutes from all the great spots in Hot Springs and a short drive to some of the most popular mines. The best part is the cabin is newly remodeled with gorgeous furnishing. . . . tastefully decorated and not too kitsch like some lake cabins." "Not to mention, the inside is as beautiful as the scenery! You can tell a lot of time and thought went into making this place special. There is so much character that you'll just have to see for yourself." "We originally booked for 4 nights, but after seeing the place, was very fortunate to be able to extend another night. And we are so glad we did. We were able to get in a round of golf at a nice, but challenging 9-hole course within walking distance of the cottage. The road leading to the cottage is secluded and no traffic, so we took advantage of walks. We used the chiminea both during the day and at night to relax by the lake and to cook smores. There were games available in the cottage along with a number of paperback books to read."

Amazing secluded house just outside of all Hot Springs has to offer. Wonderful location, host, and cleanliness. Everything was provided and you all need to bring is yourself and your bag.

What a wonderful cottage! We really enjoyed our stay. We were in it fir the nature and the property didn’t disappoint. It was so pretty to watch the birds and sit in silence and stare at nature! We really enjoyed the cabin and was stocked with all necessities. There wasn’t anything we wished for that we didn’t have. We ate at great restaurants daily and enjoyed the fire setup nightly! We will definitely return!

Great place nice to have flat fire area with seating (great swing) right by the water and two kinds of grills. Got married upstairs in pouring rain and it was perfect, just us and a preacher. Host thought of every detail to make stay enjoyable down to the little rugs by the bedside since its hardwood floors. Look forward to a return on our anniversary.

This is hands down the best VRBO location I have ever been to, and the best VRBO hosts we have ever had! Bob and Jan thought of EVERYTHING. There were muffins, eggs, and cereal in the fridge for our first breakfast, the fire pit outside was already prepared and just needed to be lit, they had us stocked with water and coffee pods for the Kurigs, there were flashlights, a fully stocked kitchen, plenty of towels, lists of restraunts and places to fish, games, dvds,books, everything you could think of that you might need, they had it taken care of. They really go above and beyond for their guests! And they have quick communication if you have any needs! We were looking for a secluded getaway for my birthday and this location did not disappoint. And its just a short drive from the town of Hot Springs. Its a little piece of property people only dream of having! I woke up at 6 am every morning just to drink my coffee on the fishing dock and watch the sunrise. Every day I saw so much wildlife. Deer, geese, ducks, many species of birds, squirrels, chipmunks, and a bald eagle that periodically flew across the lake. The only thing I didn't like about this place was the fact that we had to leave! They have a little canoe and a paddle boat if you want to take it on the lake, you can fish off the dock, you can grill outside if you don't want to go out. Ron Coleman Crystal mine is only about 25 minutes away.If we go back to Hot Springs I will definately be coming back to stay here

The cottage on the lake is secluded with beautiful lake views, just like the pictures. Bob and Janet have taken care of detail after detail in decor and amenities. Very clean! Lots of bottled water plus eggs, cereal, milk, and yummy blueberry muffins for us to have the first morning. What a nice touch! It was such a restful, peaceful stay; I didn’t want to leave.
