Hardy Lakehouse Lilypad, large 3-bedroom house on lake with boats and game room

We are new to VRBO. But, we are not new to hosting. My husband and I started hosting in 2017. We love this area. I grew up going to summer camp in Hardy, Ark. I learned to swim and canoe in the river and made life-long friendships there. I have pursued the mountains, deserts, and all types of water over the years. Yet, as an adult, this area called me back. Now I have the chance to share it all and nothing makes me happier. Reconnect with nature and the personal touches of this small town.

A little history of the neighborhood: Lake Kiwanie was named for and is located at the old Camp Kiwani (no "e" in the original spelling) in Hardy, AR. Camp Kiwani (The Girl Scout Council of the Mid-South) began in 1920 when 80 acres in the foothills of the Ozarks near Hardy, Arkansas became the first Camp Kiwani and served until it was sold in 1960. It was one of the first Girl Scout camps built, about the same time Camp Miramichee and Camp Kia Kima began in Hardy on the Southfork of the Spring River. Camp Kiwani moved to Hardeman County near Middleton, Tennessee but the spirit of camping, canoeing and the love of nature remains. The neighborhood now consists of the private lake, cabins and homes conveniently located between Hardy and Cherokee Village (2 miles to each). The Lakehouse Lilypad is part of our Camp Miramichee Falls short term rentals. We have 8 rentals ranging in size from 1-room cabins to this 3,000 square foot home. Three in a row on Kiwanie Lake and 5 cabins on the Southfork River across the road, two blocks away.

The Lilypad is a great place for families or groups of friends. Whether you like to gather in the kitchen, the game room, play outside, fish, boat, or just lounge on one of the porches, there is plenty of room to spread out and enjoy spending time with your loved ones. There is so much to do right here at the Lilypad, you might not even leave the house. But, if you do, you will find the quaint shops and restaurants of Hardy and Cherokee Village just two miles from your door. And, local outfitters are on hand (as close as two miles away) to arrange a river float on the Spring River. If you have more than nine people, we also own the two cabins on either side of the Lilypad. We are happy to send you the links!
