Great stay as always. Our family loves the cove seclusion as well as the lack of cell service. Have to go to top of hill or out on lake to get service but this is good to unplug and relax. Pontoon "dock" was gone but we had sorted this out prior to arrival and substituted with the new blow up Mission swim rafts which served as a great dock. Stayed with my wife and 4 adult kids/spouses as well as a 20 month old. All had a great time.
This was our second stay. Our favorite part was how secluded it is & how close the cabin is to the water & cove. Cabin was beautiful, clean & spacious. We enjoyed our stay.
My family and I stayed at the Hamley-Lakefront Retreat for the first time recently. Our stay was amazing! The cabin is magnificent with the most beautiful and peaceful views of the lake. The cabin was stocked with everything we needed - we only needed to bring food, all other supplies were provided. We really enjoyed our time there and certainly hope to return next year.
We had a great time at this house! Wonderful views of the water and great hiking trails. Kitchen was well stocked, beds were comfy and everything was clean. No complaints here.
This was our second time at this property and looking forward to coming back again. We love the outdoor space and being able to disconnect from the outside world for a few days. We enjoyed campfires, kayaking, hiking and fishing while we were here. So nice to be able to bring our dogs with us as well. Thank you again for sharing this home!
We visited this property 4 year ago and returned this year. Like last time, we enjoyed our stay and had a great time. This is a MARVELOUS location. There were signs of property aging (e.g, old dish washer, slumped steps/porch), but nothing that would deter us from visiting again.
This is the relaxing getaway we needed! No reception was a selling point for me to force us as a family to reconnect and just enjoy each other. The cabin is perfect and has everything you need! The water is by far the most beautiful lake water I have ever seen. The cove was so calm and quiet. The wildlife was the best part! Wish we could have stayed longer!
We visited family at the cabin in 2011 and knew we would be there ourselves one day. We just got home after spending the week of 8-13-15 at the cabin. We are definitely retuning next summer. Love the location, the cabin is roomy and well arranged. It was clean, quiet, peaceful. Love the yard and wooded area as well as the cove and deck right on the water. Scott was very nice and a pleasure to talk with. Can't wait to return!
Overall good experience. The location alittle difficult to get to but worth it. Water was great beautiful scenery. Cabin overall nice and well stocked. The outside has multiple decks which is nice but the antenna on the house was hanging in precariously over where people sit or walking if any wind came up could fall in someone. Had 2 people including small child stung by hornets on the deck. The path to the dock from the deck was muddy and eroded difficult for small children to negotiate. I would say not a great place for children under 5.
Have stayed at this cabin for 5 years in a row now. Fits perfectly for what we do. Private cove with calm water for paddle boarding, Pontoon swim deck serves as good dock for our 23' wake boat with easy access to the Big Clifty channel of Beaver Lake, and plenty of room for up to 8 adults. Distance from town and 4 to 6 miles of gravel road frontage could be detracting if you are not primarily interested in the lake but we go to Eureka or Rogers every evening for meals so not a big deal for us.
This is a cabin with a great view, very peaceful and relaxing, good size bedrooms, comfortable beds, inside is clean and homelike. We didn't catch any fish but it was March, I can imagine it would be very good in the summer. It is about 40 minutes to a Super Walmart. We went to the War Eagle Cavern. Cresent Hotel Ghost Tour- got some amazing pictures, Turpentine Creek, beautiful animals, but spent most of the time at the cabin exploring the grounds. The roads are crazy but that is expected in Arkansas. We brought inflatable boats for our teenage kids and they had a ball in the lake! Great family game nights and bonfires, and we brought home great memories!
Terrific property. Very picturesque setting, on a deep cove. Saw bald eagle fly by on a couple days. It is very relaxing to stay there. We (total party of 10) were there during Thanksgiving 2015 week. Watched a lot of football on the Direct TV that is provided. It was actually nice not having cell coverage for the week at the house. The kids spent time building campfires, fishing, playing board games, watching movies vs. staring at their phones. Would recommend this Hamley Retreat cabin. We all liked it very much. None of us had 4 wheel drive, and we had a lot of rain while there, all of us were able to get out without any real issues. My youngest wanted to stay another week! Thank you for the terrific holiday week, we loved staying at your cabin!
Like most of the properties in this area there are long dirt roads to take you to the home. 4 or all wheel drive highly recommended. Home is located on the lake with beautiful views, lots of privacy. Home needs some upgrades in bathrooms and furniture. Made the mistake of looking for kids toy under couch cushion. Probably never cleaned. Would definitely go back except the cleaning products they used were so toxic that we could not use the lower level which included king bed and bathroom. Not sure if the cleaner was masking a problem but NO ONE wanted to go down the basement. The numerous animal heads hanging over the bed were also a turn off. One maybe. 10 was a bit much. Wanted to love everything about the home as the people we dealt with were helpful and friendly. But until they come up with a more home friendly cleaner it will be a no go. Also half of the windows either did not work or did not have screens. Was a beautiful week weather wise but couldnât even open home to air it out. If you are at all sensitive to smells and cleaners I would avoid.
We loved this secret hideaway! The weather didn't cooperate where we had several periods of rain followed by a cold front that brought cold air and wind, which then took the fish away. This home is very nice, with great views, easy access to the lake and many opportunities to explore (a lot of land!). The main reason for the slightly lower scores is around window covers, where there are very few if any, specifically the basement bathroom. Understand the seclusion of the area, but when you're on vacation, you might want to sleep in at times and would like the option of sun in or out. And the bathroom, would prefer privacy. Others have stated the drive in and out of the home can be a challenge and during the fall season as leaves fall, it can be difficult to follow the "path" to the home. While we liked the limited access to the outside world, we did start as we were walking along rock formations to find fishing spots, if something would happen, without wireless and internet access, you wouldn't have quick resources to reach out for help. Again, nothing critical, just things you think about in today's easy access world.
This is one of the cleanest places we have ever stayed. The kitchen has most of anything you can think of. The surroundings are absolutely beautiful. The items I've posted are for awareness as each renter is different as to their preferences. And the weather during our visit wasn't ideal but the home is very nice.

WARNING 4WD REQUIRED!!! This was the worst vacation ever!!!!
The property and lake were nice but the property is badly misrepresented in the listing. The "dirt road" is an off-road trail at best and this is coming from someone that lives on a dirt road! The house sits on 5 acres not 145!!!! This property is ON THE SIDE OF A MOUNTIAN! We had no idea there was a mountain range there. The "driveway" has a 250 foot decent from the gate to the house, most of which is in the second half of the drive. There are large roots and football sized rocks/boulders all over the trail. The worst part is once you get to the second half of the driveway there is no possible way to turn around so you are stuck going all the way down to the house. We have a newer SUV with all-terrain tires but it is 2WD and were barely able to leave the property. We were literally stuck there for 2 days without food and no way to leave to get any. The owner was unreachable and there is no internet or cell phone service at the house. We had to walk the half mile back to the road to even attempt to make calls. VRBO did nothing to help us get a refund, the host has never even visited the property to see how bad the driveway is, and the owner won't answerr my calls for a refund. We barely spent two nights there out of a 6 night stay. We would have left immediately if we could have! I will NEVER visit ANYWHERE IN ARKANSAS EVER AGAIN!! WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!
We loved our stay at this lakeside cabin. So relaxing and the view is incredible. The cabin is well stocked with supplies and extras. I will miss sipping my morning coffee and overlooking the lake. We also spotted an Eagle, deer, and chipmunks. So relaxing!
The house is great, perfectly clean, with a layout that worked well for us. Everything we needed was there, and the beds were wonderfully comfortable. The lake and the entire property are just beautiful and we hope to come back soon.
Wonderful place, very secluded, lakefront is incredible, we brought our paddle boards and enjoyed the lake. Everything we needed was there. Will be back!!
If you want a place very secluded and private, this is the place to be. Could not be happier with our experience. It was everything we wanted it to be. We will be back!!!
