Welcome to The Boathouse! Our 4 bedroom 2 bath stationary houseboat is moored at Crystal Springs Marina Village on beautiful Lake Ouachita - just 15 minutes west of Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas. Lake Ouachita is a stunning, crystal clear lake surrounded by the Ouachita National Forest.

The Boathouse has a fully equipped kitchen with full size appliances along with central heat and air.

Jump right off the back of the boat into beautiful Lake Ouachita with a built-in ladder off the rear deck to get back on the boat easily.

Access to hiking/mountain biking...
The Lake Ouachita Vista Trail (LOViT) travels up, down and along mountain slopes through a mixed hardwood and pine forest, opening up at several places to spectacular views of the lake before you. Beautiful displays of wildflowers await hikers and bikers during the spring and summer months. Along the trail, pits left by quartz speculators and the remains of a moonshiner's still are evidence of the area's colorful history. Plans call for the trail to extend 35 to 40 miles along the shores of Lake Ouachita, running through private resorts and public campgrounds and ultimately to Blakely Dam to the east. (Copied from the Forest Service website.)

Linens and towels are included but you may want to bring some extra beach towels.

Discounts available for jet ski, ski boat and pontoon boat rentals or bring your own boat and park next to The Boathouse for free. Covered boat storage may be available at Crystal Springs Marina for a fee.

Note: The Boathouse is moored at our dock which is located in a wake zone area, which means the boat will rock as other boats pass by. If you are prone to motion sickness, you may want to visit The Boathouse in the off-season when the lake isn't as busy.

    We came to see the famous Lake Ouachita and its everything you expect and more! This Boat house is perfect for doing so, they have everything you need. The morning view is incredible from the very spacious back deck. We boated and visited the entire lack and had the best accommodations right on the water.

    I was impressed with size of the property and the layout. It was absolutely perfect for our needs. The grandsons liked being able to swim off the back deck and there was plenty of seating for the adults throughout. Ashley was very nice and made us welcome when we arrived. The dock staff was courteous and very helpful. The kitchen was stocked with everything one needed to prepare meals. I especially liked the fruit bowl which allowed for placing fruit in easy reach without digging through bags. We all had a wonderful stay and would definitely stay again. Highly recommend the Boathouse.

    We absolutely loved staying at the boathouse! The location on the water is great and the view cannot be beat! It had plenty of room for our group of 6 and we felt very comfortable staying there. The beds were so comfy and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook meals. The black stone grill was a nice addition! Communication with the property manager was easy and she was readily available when we had questions. Would absolutely recommend staying here and we plan to come back in the summer time to take advantage of the warmer weather and spending more time on the decks!

    My wife and I took our daughter and her family to stay on the Boathouse and it was a great vacation for all of us. We will definitely be going back sometime in the future.
