9 Mi to Hot Springs: Lake Catherine Home w/ Dock

Ouse was good! Little disappointed in the cleanliness of outdoor living areas.

What a beautiful home?! We spent Christmas with my entire family here, and so glad we did. The views of the lake are absolutely beautiful. We were created by a family of 4 deer each morning. We really enjoyed watching them roam around the neighborhood. The beds were comfy, and there was plenty of room for all of us. The kitchen was well stocked, and the large dining room table fit our bunch perfectly. The only downfalls that we noticed were the condition of the pool table was very poor, and the hot water heater is either small or going out. We could only fill the jacuzzi tub about half way before running out of hot water. Both are minor problems though. We truly enjoyed our stay! The owner was very friendly and attentive during our stay.

We loved the home! Views were amazing and the location was great! Only downside was the pool table was in very rough shape and the mattresses were uncomfortable. However, the rest of the home more than made up for it and we had a great trip! With a few small upgrades this could easily be a repeat visit for our family.

This house had a great view of the lake! The screened porch just off the main floor, and then the large deck just off the game room was fabulous. The pier and boat dock made it easy for us to get our kayaks in and out of the water. The house had some issues, however. Cleaning needs to be better. Something had been melted in the stove, so our first night we had to cook our meal inside a dirty oven. After running the self cleaning through the night then we had to wipe down the entire oven the next morning. Even after that, we had the smell of burnt plastic to deal with each meal. They did offer to come clean the stove the next afternoon but we had several meals to prepare before then, so that’s why we wiped it down the next day ourselves. There were several spots in the house that could be cleaned better such as the corners in the small hall bath. The Jacuzzi tub could use a good scrubbing also. Also, the grill was terribly dirty. These are things you shouldn’t see or deal with when paying a cleaning fee. The game room was a nice addition, but there was no air hockey like it says on the listing, and the pool table definitely needs to be repaired. The kitchen had OK supplies when you could find them. The kitchen needs to be reorganized. For example, we found silverware the second day over by the stove instead of in the silverware drawer beside the sink. We had to share forks the first night. There is only two small kitchen towels for our four day stay. Maybe adding a starter kit supply list to the listing would help the next guest be better prepared. Also, the sheets on the front bedroom had a hole in them that my foot kept getting caught in during the night. Last, I would suggest putting a dehumidifier downstairs. There was a slight musty, smell and damp, feeling sheets during our stay.Also, someone needs to add direction for locking the front door. It took a little time to figure this out. Even with these issues our time was great together and memories made!

This was a great view and we enjoyed the entire stay. Lovely home beautiful view. The property manager was so sweet and was very nice. This will definitely be a recurring thing.

Great place on the lake. Kitchen with everything needed for enjoying wonderful meals while overlooking the lake. Wonderful decks to relax on with plenty of sunshine to work on a great tan. Three decks, two for shade and one big one for lots of sun. Lori is a great host and is quick to respond and will take care of any issues you may have. This was our 5th time to stay here and hope to return soon! Thanks

The house was great and we enjoyed our stay. The elevation from the house to the water was a little more than I expected. With four kayaks and five grandkids this proved to be more or a workout than i bargained for. Also the hydrilla in the water made swimming unsafe.

The property manager was so sweet and kind. Beautiful home and will definitely be back. This was a great experience for our group

what a wonderful time we had staying at your house. You have a delightful home, well appointed and decorated. Beautiful, comfortable and Wonderful views of the lake.

The house was perfect for our reunion. It was just as described in the write-up. We had a couple issues upon arrival and they were promptly addressed. As noted it is a steep path to the lake. Our only negative was small gnats that were throughout the property, they didn't bite and I am sure seasonal due to the closeness of the lake.
