Cabins in the area

well, I have not found too many rentals on the lake that are cabins, But I can give you a web site that has several lake house rentals, vrbo.com/vacation-rentals/usa/arkansas#1964

It is a rent by owner web site , I have used them many times and have loves them. Things to do and see, ...The hot springs mountain tower is good, Since 1877, Hot Springs Mountain Tower has been the Hot Springs landmark. Enoch Woolman erected the original 75-foot observatory. When lightning and fire destroyed the structure, a second tower was built. The 165-foot steel structure, later named the Rix Tower, stood for over 60 years. Following years of coordinated efforts between the community and the National Park Service, the new Hot Springs Mountain Tower opened to the public in 1983. This 216-foot superstructure affords a breathtaking panorama-encompassing 140 miles- of beautiful Hot Springs, the Ouachita Mountains and the surrounding Diamond Lakes area. It%26#39;s a great way to start off or end a day of sightseeing in beautiful Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas. Hot Springs Mountain Tower is located atop Hot Springs Mountain in the National Park. To reach the Tower, turn off Central Avenue (State Highway 7) in Downtown Hot Springs onto Fountain Street and follow the signs to the Tower.

Take a sip and see how delicious Hot Springs%26#39; cool water can be.

Take a tour through the past in the Fordyce Bathhouse and Visitors Center, a national landmark on historic Bathhouse Row and bathe your tensions away in 147 degrees of soothing mineral spring water at one of Hot Springs modern, full-service spa salons.

And there%26#39;s always lake hamilton, Lake Hamilton was created in 1932 when the Arkansas Power and Light Co. completed Carpenter Dam on the Ouachita River to generate electricity. Today, the 7,200-acre impoundment is one of Arkansas%26#39;s most popular recreational and residential lakes. Much of it is ringed with condominiums, resorts, motels, restaurants and private homes. State Scenic 7 Byway crosses the lake.

Water-skiing, parasailing, pleasure boating and fishing are popular Hot Springs attractions on Lake Hamilton and rentals of watercraft and sport accessories are readily available. The Belle of Hot Springs is a 400-passenger riverboat that offers sightseeing, lunch, dinner and dance cruises on the lake. Garvan Woodland Gardens is a 210-acre, lakeshore botanical garden accessible by boat.

I think you will enjoy hot springs, Stay to the touristy type areas and you should not have a problem, hot springs does have some bad areas, but most of it is safe, I hope this helped a bit..

The Arkansas State Parks program offers some interesting possibilities at fairly good rates at times. You might check out arkansasstateparks.com and click cabins and Lake Catherine State Park for a look at the availability of cabins in that Hot Springs area park.

I am interested in Cabin info too...keep it coming! :o) We%26#39;re looking for the easy roughing it experience. You know, having the campfire outside to roast marshmallows before we crawl into a comfy bed. lol Anyone know any cabins around Hot Springs that fit this description?

Thanks in advance!
