This house has plenty of space for 8 people and is full of luxury from the granite countertops, wood floors, and rock fireplace to the up-scale furnishings. There are many separate living/dining areas including an "Arkansas Room" (note: an "Arkansas Room" is simply the name of rooms in the village that are sunroom type rooms with great views), and a dining table that seats 8 people. The house is just beautifully decorated, and most of the rooms have gorgeous lake views.
House is 3115 square feet on over 1/2 acre lot.
This is a house which you won't want to leave! You can spend your days swimming and fishing from your own dock. Then spend your evenings grilling on the deck or watching the beautiful sunsets from your dock swing. The outside decks are quite secluded but also have absolutely wonderful lake views.
This house comes ready for fun including both a foosball table and ping pong table, board games and movies. With wireless internet access, fireplace, updated furnishings, tv's, dock, and a very well equipped kitchen, there is something for everyone.
The house is in wonderful Hot Springs Village, which is a gated recreational community of over 26,000 acres. HSV is a hidden gem that many families return to yearly for their vacations and many golfers frequent seasonally. It is an absolutely beautiful mountainous area with lots and lots of hills, beautiful trees, wildlife, golf courses, restaurants, and beaches. The area provides a very relaxing and peaceful vacation for some while others can enjoy the activities without crowds, even in summertime or during holidays. As a guest staying at HSV, you can choose to play from any of hsv's 8 championship golf courses or visit any of our 11 lakes, 2 beaches and 2 marinas with recreational activities such as fishing, swimming and boating. You may also hike or bike on over 26 miles of wooded trails. There is also an outdoor pool complex, a playground area with mini-golf, basketball, tennis and pickle ball courts and coronado fitness center with an indoor pool, spa, and clay tennis courts. Just 30 minutes away is the popular tourist destinations of Hot Springs and also Ouachita national forest with Ouachita lake and marina and Ouachita Mountain state park. Little Rock is 1 hr away.
House and private boat dock are on the beautiful lake Cortez. Lake Cortez is the 3rd largest lake in the villages. It is 245 acres and has a boat ramp. You can fish, swim, ski and tube in the lake. This lake is a very clear water lake which makes it really great for swimming and just relaxing in the water. It is also peaceful and calm since it is mainly used by only people living on the lake. This is a great lake for water skiing - with the mountains surrounding the lake breaking the winds and hardly any other boats - there are a lot of days with very smooth water for some great water skiing. You are usually the only boat around and feel like you are boating in your own wonderful private lake. Even on holiday weekends, you will only see a few boats during the day. It is a stocked lake with no public access -makes it great for fishing too. And our cove is deep, so fishing is even good off the dock. The lake so clear, you can sometimes see the big fish swimming by our dock. We have even been able to see the big fish from the windows in the arkansas room. Lake is stocked with catfish, bass, crappie, gill and sunfish.
We have a pontoon boat that you can rent while staying with us on property. To learn more about the boat simply request it from us and we will be happy to send you a boat attachment that will answer all of your questions. The cost for 1 day is barely over the price of renting at the local marina for two hours. And the best part is it will be parked and waiting at the boat dock right outside your back door. I
We also have a tandem or 2 person kayak provided to our guests during warmer months to explore and have fun on lake Cortez. .
We have 5 tv's each with Roku streaming. We have moved to Sling TV and it has the orange and blue package that provides most major channels and networks. We also provide 2 dvd/blue ray players, dvd movies, and some blue ray movies, tons of board games, and a selection of books for your entertainment.
We are centrally located between the east and west gates of hot springs village, providing easy access to most hsv destinations including all golf courses, beaches and restaurants.
House is in a very easy access location with noticeable landmarks enroute to help you not get lost. We are just off of cortez rd, which is a major hsv street. Please look at our map below to see our location within hsv.
If this is your first time to visit our wonderful Hot Springs Villages or just need activity or restaurant ideas, our house is stocked with area information and brochures for our guests. We also created 'things to do' and 'favorite restaurants' sheets to help our guests know what has been popular.
If you love the outdoors, this area provides ample opportunities of new and different activities, and with a backdrop of those beautiful ouachita mountains. Anyone who loves outdoors activities will feel at home and probably fall in love with the area.
