Stay in a Treehouse Escape at Lake Catherine / Fire Pit + Lake Toys + Privacy

It was beautiful and we couldn't be happier with our accomodations!

PROS: This property was so unique. The back patio over the trees was so peaceful and pretty to sit on every morning with coffee. So many little perks were provided like smores and beach towels. It’s close proximity to town and the lake toys were fun! CONS:The loft definitely needs some sort of gate to close when the kids sleep. It sleeps 4 kids and with that many kids in a small space and such a drastic drop, somebody will end up getting hurt. My kids ranged in age from 13-6 and it made me nervous the entire time. The pictures seemed a little misleading about the location of the lake. It is close by but it’s not at the house like I thought. It’s a super steep gravel walk down and back. So steep that my car could not drive it. All of my kids slid at some point walking down or up and had bloody legs. If you have issues with walking or are older, getting to the lake will be an issue. The AC unit is not big enough to cool the entire house. The loft was too hot for several of my kids to stay in and they ended up on the downstairs couch every night. The bedroom also sleeps really hot. We had the AC cranked as low as it would go and kept the doors shut and there just needs to be an extra unit added to keep up with the outside heat.

Very cute cabin with great decor. Loved the privacy. I did miss having a full kitchen.

The host was very friendly and easy to reach . The cabin was clean cool and well stocked. We enjoyed the private access to the water .

Amazing time!

Stopped for two nights on a long road trip with 4 adults. This was the perfect quiet spot to relax away from the highway. Everything was clean, plenty of good seating and sleeping options for all of us, great AC and fans, a lovely deck to sit on and enjoy being remote, and everything we needed was provided as advertised. Mark & Lori were very responsive to my questions, and provided excellent directions and instructions.The bonus perk was getting to take a peddle boat and kayaks out onto the lake! Very relaxing and fun experience. And it’s an easy drive to the main strip of Hot Springs, which is worth a visit.Definitely recommend stopping here to unplug if you’re in the area.

Everything was just as listed and pictured. Mark & Lori answered all questions quickly and were very friendly and easy to work with. Property is beautiful and very peaceful. Enjoyed being on-site and unplugging. 10-15 min drive to stores & shops.

The cabin itself is, of course, lovely, as you can tell from the pictures. The additional draw for this rental is the onsite amenities. Down the hill from the cabin is the lake and a trail system that winds through the property. We found this trail system perfect for our morning runs. As a couple of avid runners who go to Hot Springs a couple of times a year, it is hard to find rentals with good nearby running. This trail system allowed us to enjoy being out in nature for our run on relatively flat terrain without fearing for attack dogs (pretty ubiquitous in Hot Springs in our experience) or unaware drivers. Additionally, along the trail there are a number of further amenities including a boat launch with kayaks, paddle boards, and a pedal boat; a swimming dock (on which we did morning yoga one day); numerous places to sit and relax including a hammock in a shady area; and a badminton/volleyball court with equipment. We availed ourselves of all of these amenities and felt it was a huge value-added element to this rental. Also, I assume because of the owners' ample surrounding land, this place was quite quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed listening to just birds and not speed boats out on the deck each morning and evening. All in all, it was kind of like being at a very laid-back, unassuming, welcoming, private resort. If any of that sounds like your thing, definitely give this place a try.

The cabin was beautiful, cozy, and thoughtfully designed to make you feel right at home. While the location was close to Hot Springs, it truly felt peacefully remote and removed from the world in the best way. Every detail—the spring water, coffee, games, lake toys and life jackets—made it clear that the hosts truly care about their guests’ experience. It struck the perfect balance between rustic charm and modern comfort. While it wasn’t a major issue for our stay, if there was one downside it would be the lack of ability to do laundry. Overall great place to stay!

The place is so peaceful! A chance to connect with nature, and yet not far from site seeing adventures. Trails, boats, games and the quiet part of the lake was great. Even enjoyed getting a good leg workout on the huge hill to get to the water, although you could also drive if you wanted. The other cabin on the property is nearby and shares access to kayaks, paddle boat and boards but there were so many options it wasn't a concern.Mark and Lisa always replied promptly and are so kind! Loved the treat and water!

Very clean property, great for relaxing, water toys were fantastic! My only suggestion would be to revise the description to make sure it is well known there is only a kitchenette without a full size stove so renters are prepared. We didn’t plan to go into town at all during our stay and the food we brought to prepare presented a challenge and took a lot more time and effort to cook.

The house was immaculate. The Hot Springs water in the fridge was an awesome touch. The heat in the bathroom was so nice on the cold mornings. We loved listening to all the sounds of nature in the morning and at night. Enjoyed the trails, paddleboards and kayaks. It was so great to have that access! The mattresses were comfortable. We wish we knew the brand . Had everything we needed. Would highly recommend!

One of our favorite mountain stays to date! Property was extremely well kept and everything we needed was provided! Our kids LOVED sleeping up in the loft and getting to climb up the ladder. Was great to be able to go down to the lake and have life jackets, paddle boats and kayaks provided at no addt cost. Great location to all the local attractions as well! Highly recommend!!

Wonderful stay. Great for families with kids. Close to many great parks.

House was well stocked with basics & even included items for smores. House was very clean & an overall great space with wonderful views!

Very quiet

Beautiful cabin and property, close to hot springs. A great getaway

Very cozy

We had a fantastic getaway at the Treehouse Cabin in Hot Springs. The cabin was immaculately clean and well stocked for our arrival. The host left several surprise goodies for us to enjoy. Located on the edge of a hill the back porch puts you at treetop level and provides an oasis of quiet while you sip your morning coffee and listen to the call of the birds bringing in the new day. The beautiful large property provides it's own small nature park which you can stroll along the waters edge and through the timbers to visit nearby farm animals. We loved the long gravel (somewhat steeply sloped) driveway which made you feel like you were far away from city life. The cabin is efficiently designed to provide a rustic lake house feel with all the modern 21st amenities. A wooden ladder leads to an open high loft with 2 small and 1 large bed. All 3 very comfortable. The Master bedroom is on the first floor for those less adventurous. Our teenage and young adult children loved the loft and it's one of the signature features of the cabin but I imagine very young children would need to be closely supervised. When ready to return to civilization, you are only a 15 minute drive to downtown with a plethora of restaurant options. It's also conveniently located to nearby parks and attractions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning to this little slice of heaven very soon.

Our “treehouse” was amazing! Loved the secluded spot. Felt like we were in the woods by ourselves! The property was super clean and had everything we needed! The hosts were great. Super responsive and friendly! Would highly recommend this place for some quiet, family time. Also close to downtown Hot Springs if you want some entertainment outside of the cabin itself!

The property was adorable and perfectly situated to catch the sun through all the windows that face an amazing view. This place has every amenity you need for a simple trip to enjoy nature and the town. I will definitely return the next time Hot Springs is my destination.

Will definitely book this place again!

The property was amazing! We went paddle boarding one morning and explored the trails. It was so nice to feel secluded from everything but a short drive to town! We will definitely be back!

Beautiful cabin! So peaceful and relaxing the kids had a great weekend!

Nice, comfortable, and quiet

Amazing weekend at a beautiful location & cabin to celebrate my husbands 60th birthday

It was perfect for my wife and I. We couldnt have been more pleased with the location and the peace and quite.

This amazing secluded property was everything we hoped for in our romantic getaway. It's so relaxing just being in the woods, but there's also plenty to do down on the water. And it's still close to town, which is great, because we were surprised by all that Hot Springs has to offer.The cabin is cozy and comfortable and the porch is amazing. Despite not having an oven, we were still able to cook for two, using the hot plate and electric griddle.The gravel roads are steep, so you might want to leave the Lamborghini at home.Highly recommended property!

Such an awesome private getaway. Our hosts were very easy to communicate with. They made The Treehouse one of our most memorable getaways

Wonderful place easy to access through the gate. Drive needs a little work but they are in the process of that. Just a wonderful PEACEFUL time! Kids had a blast on the water. Would definitely stay here again.

Great place to stay pretty secluded but still close to all the things we wanted to do in the area

Beautiful treehouse cabin, amazing lake access with so many activities/amenities made available by hosts that the trip is completely spectacular upon arrival.Thank you to our wonderful, thoughtful hosts for all the care and attention places in the property ! Amazing value, and priceless memories !

We were looking for a relaxing vacation to unwind & be together. This was ideal! The cabin had what we needed to relax. Not having a stove to cook on limited us but we made do with the electric griddle & electric burner. We spent a day at the cove paddle boating & kayaking. The walk was a bit further than we expected but we made it. All in all we had a great time & would rent this spot again. The drive to different sites was never more than 20 minutes.

My favorite place.!!

The place was awesome. It's private. We enjoyed the kayaking, playing volleyball. There is a trail too that was just right for us being newbies. The house was great... love the loft

If you want a quiet place away from the city this the place for you. The property is very clean with Master bedroom and loft for your family. A small jaunt or car ride down to a fishing/kayaking alcove makes this a great place to visit.

The property was secluded and relaxing. It was a nice change of pace from the others I’ve stayed in, that have several other cabins within view. We loved the privacy of the part of the lake that was within walking distance. We also enjoyed the peddle boat and kayaks that are provided. The only negative takeaway was how steep the hill is to and from the lake area. To the point I wouldn’t drive our suv down it in fear of being stuck at the bottom. Overall this was an A place to stay!

It was so great to get what you paid for, it was clean beautiful, activities for those who wanted them, lovely peaceful porch sitting for those who wanted that, we all agreed best family vacation in many years. Thank you for your kind attention to detail.

What a gorgeous and peaceful location. I loved sitting out on the back deck and just listen to the birds in the morning. The fire ring was used everyday. We used the grill the last night of our stay. The lake toys were utilized as well. This is a great place to go hiking. There was some ant noted in the loft -(mostly dead).

What an amazing property secluded enough to feel like you could just be free but close enough to any thing you could need. We took board games and played a murder mystery game all weekend and we're able to just enjoy time in nature with friends away from life for the weekend. Thank you!

Fun stay

You really do feel like you are in a tree house! The serene setting is so peaceful and beautiful. We enjoyed our time and spent much of it on the back deck area listening to birds and the leaves blowing in the breeze. The lake was beautiful and we enjoyed using the paddle boat and exploring a little. This is a great place to stay for some R&R!

The property is not only secluded, but still close to city amenities, but beautiful and a great place to find rest and relaxation.

Property was beautiful and was a very relaxing place to stay for our anniversary.

My husband and I came to celebrate our anniversary. We wanted to get away and relax and enjoy nature. This place was perfect for all of that! We loved sitting on the back deck, watching and listening to nature, and sitting on the dock, doing the same. If it would have been warmer, we would have kayaked too. We enjoyed the firepit and the quiet so much. Thank you to Mark and Lori for a restorative weekend!

Super cute place to stay. Pretty view. I wish the weather was better so we could have enjoyed the outdoors more. It was only 12 min drive to downtown hot springs.I didn't read the kitchen description well and panicked when there was no oven or stove but then found the toaster oven and plug in stove burner. I wouldn't plan on making a thanksgiving dinner there, but it worked perfectly to make breakfast and dinners!It had everything we needed and more for the 4 of us. I would definitely come back!

This cabin looked exactly like the listing. I loved sitting on the porch, drinking coffee. The host let me know ahead of time that they had to replace the ac unit and the wall was messed up. I did not even notice it when we arrived. Perfect little getaway for us. We want to build us a cabin just like this back in Texas.

Everything was perfect. We had a great time.

We had a wonderful time with our family. We stayed in a cozy cabin surrounded by trees, and it was a great experience. Although the cabin was a bit small, it was cozy and perfect for spending quality time together. The cabin was located in a private gated community, which made us feel safe and secure. We enjoyed various activities such as kayaking and hiking on the forest trails, all within the private property. Downtown was only 15 minutes away, and there was a zip line just 3 minutes away, providing plenty of fun activities for the kids. The only downside was that there was no electric or gas stove in the cabin for cooking. Additionally, the fire pit was not allowed during our stay, which was a bit disappointing as we couldn't enjoy it at night. The cabin owner was very communicative and helpful.

My wife and I really enjoyed our weekend at the lake cabin. Mark and Lori responded quickly with pertinent information after we booked and we had no issues finding and getting into the property. The cabin is very cozy, comfortable and peaceful. We especially enjoyed sitting on the deck drinking coffee.

We went for an anniversary getaway. Very secluded and peaceful. We spent most of our time on the back deck just enjoying nature and the serenity. When we did go into Hot Springs to do anything, we couldn't wait to get back and relax on the back deck again. Lol! An overall amazing place to stay! Would highly recommend! We look forward to staying again!

We enjoyed the cute cabin and the location was wonderful!

We came to rest, and that’s exactly what we did! Couldn’t have asked for a quieter place. Sitting on the back deck for morning coffee was amazing!
