Old Bear Family Lodge ~ Fishing Pond ~ Spa Bath ~ Where Families Reconnect

The property was well maintained and in a quiet area but close enough to the city. My family enjoyed it very much and plan on staying there again.

Very welcoming host, great affordable option for a large group

The host was very good about answering questions when needed and I’m a good timing.

Very nice comfortable house. Everyone loved the beds! Its so pretty in the back with the pond and the treeline. We did see some turkey and a bob cat wandered on the back porch which was neat. I also saw an eagle soaring in the sky. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed. We loved all the space outside, there was plenty to do to keep my son happy. He fished the pond, and although he didnt catch anything, he did say he saw a 10 lb bass. The couches were also super comfy. The host is very friendly and accommodating. We for sure would stay again.

This property was advertised as lake front. It had a pond behind it that was almost dry, it is not lake front. The home seemed to be generally clean upon first impression and the location was easy to access. There is sufficient room for a large family.The house was in general disrepair, for an example at one point a door blew open during a storm and we couldn't bolt the door closed (we were out of the house when it happened), and only the door knob would lock when we found it upon our return. Flies and other bugs (appeared to be roaches to me) were in the house. The owner stated the house had been treated a couple of weeks before.Instructions posted inside the home differed from that on the vrbo app for internet and checkout. I didn't get the access code to the door until I contacted the host the day of travel, leaving me to wonder if we would get it in time to get inside the home.If you are a light sleeper, roosters could be heard starting about 5am from the master bedroom.

Setup was good ... Did not have a pet

Nice layout for privacy and plenty of room for parking a boat trailer.

We thought this place was super cute. We want to pick it up and take it to our area and live in it! Clean, had everything you needed, extra things to do outside, convenient location, and just good energy all around. Great communication with owner. 10/10!

This place was super comfortable for us. I really liked the many things to do outside such as horseshoes, basketball, etc. I really wished we’d brought our fishing poles but hopefully we can stay there again sometime. This place was very clean and had a lot of room for us. We were very satisfied!

We brought our crew of 7 down...with five kids ranging from 12-20, plus 2 dogs. The house had tons of room for everyone. We loved the fact that we had three bathrooms and three showers so getting up and around every morning was easy. The kitchen was big and both the kitchen table and dining room had enough seating for the whole crew. We took advantage of the space and had several meals in. The host was great as well. We arrived in town early and reached out to see about an early check in since we had the dogs with us. They were able to accommodate, which made life easy! We also had an issue with the dishwasher one night after dinner, but they responded and fixed it quickly! Great service and much appreciated! Would definitely recommend!

We came down for our yearly family vacation and had an amazing time. The house is a close drive to Hot Springs and to the surrounding lakes. There are also numerous hidden water fall locations all around this house so we were able to keep the adults, teen, and small children busy all week. The owner was so helpful and assisted us with anything we needed. We would absolutely rent here again and would 100% recommend this home!

Wonderfully equipped house and a beautiful setting perfect for families. The rooms were large and spacious and well furnished. Kitchen was well-equipped. There were ample games and equipment for the family to play. There’s a large deck on the back overlooking a pond and woods. It’s just beautiful. Would highly recommend.

This was a great house for us! It had plenty of room on the inside and great outdoor spaces for the kids to play. I liked that it was a bit out of town but not to far away.

The house was very spacious with plenty of sleeping space. Love the fact that there were 3 bathrooms so we didn’t have to fight for time in the shower. There were indoor and outdoor games for the family to enjoy. Host responded quickly and providing help with anything needed.

This is a beautiful home and very accommodating. Host responded very quickly and stayed in touch. I sighs love to start here again.

This is a great place. The bunk room for the kids was perfect. The fishing was so fun. If i had to complain about anything is that the outdoor furniture was not clean especially the table on the back porch. Of course we had a broken oven but they got there as soon as they could

Great place to stay. House was amazing and has plenty of room for all of us. Was located not far from town and not far from downtown Hot Springs. Neighborhood was quiet. Beds were super comfortable. Will definitely rent again if we come back to hot springs!

The house was located in a great area. 15 to 20 min from down hot springs baths area. The land was wonderful, lots of land and privacy. My husband caught small fish in the pond for fun. We did build up the fire pit one night and had a very small campfire for marshmellows which was really fun for us. It was to cold outside for us to really enjoy the land or add-on room to the house with the gameroom. The slot machine is for show. The house was huge, plenty space, big enough for 5 adults. Never an issue with space. Loved all the couches in living room so we where able to all sit in there at one time and watch a little tv. Loved the large dining room table so we all could eat together and play board games. Even though the other days we were not at the house much besides to eat breakfast and sleep I enjoyed it. 3 bathrooms was great as well for larger family, very useful especially for the shower area. The house is older. The house was clean. They left some extra knives for us and had enough kitchen supplies since they knew I was cooking thanksgiving dinner. Very thoughtful. Kim

Had a great time. Communication was great.

We had a 3 day weekend and the host gave ideals. We had a great stay.

Very relaxing. The wife really loved the steam shower.

Close to where the boys were in the fishing tournament.
