So many past guests have commented on how wonderful it is to have children, family and friends unplug and truly have an enormously wonderful time interacting “in the old-fashion way”! Little cell service, no Wi-Fi. . This cabin has easy access lake frontage on TWO sides! You can actually walk right out the lower-level doors to the two-tiered spacious deck, and down the deck steps and be right in the water. Enjoy swimming, fishing or simply relaxing on the water! The spacious great room on the main level is all glass on three sides, with cathedral ceilings that give great views from every window. (The master bedroom/loft is just above the great room and enjoys these same great views!) There is a welcoming wood burning stove in the great room to take the edge off any chilly nights and two comfy leather couches with additional chairs for plenty of seating. Whether opting to gather at the large dining table or eat at the kitchen bar (or use both) you’ll find plenty of room for meals for larger groups. The Kitchen is known for being extremely well supplied with all kinds of cooking equipment, utensils, etc. - this is NOT a bare bone set kitchen! With 4 bedrooms (3 kings 1 queen) and two full bathrooms, situated on three levels, you will find plenty of space to stretch your legs and not be crowded. This cabin sits at the water’s edge, surrounded by 145 secluded private acres of wilderness to explore. It is well worth the drive and the outside world feels a million miles away. If you like counting stars at night, this is the place to stay. "Pet Fee for each dog per stay, up to 3 dogs maximum, is $45.00 per dog (Only first dog is included in quoted price. Please call or message back, if you are bringing more than one.)" There is a boat launch close to the house so you can easily tie up to the shore behind this cabin. PLEASE NOTE: \*\*No Wi-Fi available \*\*Some cell phone service providers do not have cell towers around areas of Beaver Lake and due to the position of the cabin, often times guests must go back up to the road (approx.. ½ miles from the cabin) to obtain cell service. \*\*There is NO HUNTING allowed on this property! \*\*This cabin is located down 6 miles of gravel/dirt/rocky groomed county roads and right at the water's edge of Beaver Lake. And then ½ - ¾ miles driveway in after you go through the gate. This driveway is dirt/rock/wild grasses and can be rutted if we get a lot of rain in the days before your arrival. The homeowner does his best to keep this driveway graded, but we highly recommend an all-wheel or 4-wheel drive vehicles, just in case, and DO NOT recommend taking a trailer down to the cabin. (Many 2-wheel drive vehicles make it just fine, but definitely NOT pulling a trailer.) There is a large meadow just left of the gate, INSIDE the property, where you can safely store your trailer. \*\*FIREWOOD for the outside Fire-pit or inside Wood stove is available. $95 for a "Cord", (plus tax). Please pre-order at least two weeks in advance. Home is located about 30 minutes from (half-way between) Rogers and Eureka Springs. Both places offer an exceptional experience of great food options, entertainment, and shopping. Your reservation includes Waivo™ Damage Insurance Policy, which is now part of your property lease agreement. This damage insurance will show as a $40 "Administrative Fee" on your payment details.

Our family loves the cove seclusion as well as the lack of cell service. Have to go to top of hill or out on lake to get service but this is good to unplug and relax. Pontoon "dock" was gone but we had sorted this out prior to arrival and substituted with the new blow up Mission swim rafts which served as a great dock. Stayed with my wife and 4 adult kids/spouses as well as a 20 month old. All had a great time. ##### Roger S.

We just got home after spending the week of 8-13-15 at the cabin. We are definitely retuning next summer. Love the location, the cabin is roomy and well arranged. It was clean, quiet, peaceful. Love the yard and wooded area as well as the cove and deck right on the water. Scott was very nice and a pleasure to talk with. Can't wait to return! ##### Teresa H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roger S. 12 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Annual Trip Have stayed at this cabin for 5 years in a row now. Fits perfectly for what we do. Private cove with calm water for paddle boarding, Pontoon swim deck serves as good dock for our 23' wake boat with easy access to the Big Clifty channel of Beaver Lake, and plenty of room for up to 8 adults. Distance from town and 4 to 6 miles of gravel road frontage could be detracting if you are not primarily interested in the lake but we go to Eureka or Rogers every evening for meals so not a big deal for us. ##### Roger S. Stayed 4 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Shannon S. 17 Jun 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Cove lake house Overall good experience. The location alittle difficult to get to but worth it. Water was great beautiful scenery. Cabin overall nice and well stocked. The outside has multiple decks which is nice but the antenna on the house was hanging in precariously over where people sit or walking if any wind came up could fall in someone. Had 2 people including small child stung by hornets on the deck. The path to the dock from the deck was muddy and eroded difficult for small children to negotiate. I would say not a great place for children under 5. ##### Shannon S.

This is a cabin with a great view, very peaceful and relaxing, good size bedrooms, comfortable beds, inside is clean and homelike. We didn't catch any fish but it was March, I can imagine it would be very good in the summer. It is about 40 minutes to a Super Walmart. We went to the War Eagle Cavern. Cresent Hotel Ghost Tour- got some amazing pictures, Turpentine Creek, beautiful animals, but spent most of the time at the cabin exploring the grounds. The roads are crazy but that is expected in Arkansas. We brought inflatable boats for our teenage kids and they had a ball in the lake! Great family game nights and bonfires, and we brought home great memories! ##### Debbie M.

Very picturesque setting, on a deep cove. Saw bald eagle fly by on a couple days. It is very relaxing to stay there. We (total party of 10) were there during Thanksgiving 2015 week. Watched a lot of football on the Direct TV that is provided. It was actually nice not having cell coverage for the week at the house. The kids spent time building campfires, fishing, playing board games, watching movies vs. staring at their phones. Would recommend this Hamley Retreat cabin. We all liked it very much. None of us had 4 wheel drive, and we had a lot of rain while there, all of us were able to get out without any real issues. My youngest wanted to stay another week! Thank you for the terrific holiday week, we loved staying at your cabin! ##### Tom B. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim M. 8 Jul 2016 #### Sweet retreat We have stayed in many VRBOs over the last several years and this is one of my favorites. It was a beautiful property! The house was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The shoreline was perfect! Rocks line the whole shoreline so there is no mud or mess to worry about and the water is clear and beautiful. In fact it was even deep enough in spots our kids were able to jump off a higher rock ledge into the water. The kids also caught several fish right off the bank. The cove was peaceful and the land gorgeous. We did end up with ticks all over us every time we explored the property though, even with bug spray so be prepared! Several people did get lost on the way to the cabin as mapquest took them the wrong way, so I would definitely suggest having the directions that Karen is kind enough to provide as a back up. We were really worried we were going to have trouble getting out of the long rocky driveway, but even those of us without 4 wheel drive were able to get out without trouble. It was wonderful to be secluded and unplugged for a week and the only time we really left the cabin was when we were out on the lake on the boat. Thanks for a wonderful family trip. It is one we will always remember fondly! ##### Kim M. ### 4/10 Poor #### Joe U. 24 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great view Like most of the properties in this area there are long dirt roads to take you to the home. 4 or all wheel drive highly recommended. Home is located on the lake with beautiful views, lots of privacy. Home needs some upgrades in bathrooms and furniture. Made the mistake of looking for kids toy under couch cushion. Probably never cleaned. Would definitely go back except the cleaning products they used were so toxic that we could not use the lower level which included king bed and bathroom. Not sure if the cleaner was masking a problem but NO ONE wanted to go down the basement. The numerous animal heads hanging over the bed were also a turn off. One maybe. 10 was a bit much. Wanted to love everything about the home as the people we dealt with were helpful and friendly. But until they come up with a more home friendly cleaner it will be a no go. Also half of the windows either did not work or did not have screens. Was a beautiful week weather wise but couldn’t even open home to air it out. If you are at all sensitive to smells and cleaners I would avoid. ##### Joe U.

The weather didn't cooperate where we had several periods of rain followed by a cold front that brought cold air and wind, which then took the fish away. This home is very nice, with great views, easy access to the lake and many opportunities to explore (a lot of land!). The main reason for the slightly lower scores is around window covers, where there are very few if any, specifically the basement bathroom. Understand the seclusion of the area, but when you're on vacation, you might want to sleep in at times and would like the option of sun in or out. And the bathroom, would prefer privacy. Others have stated the drive in and out of the home can be a challenge and during the fall season as leaves fall, it can be difficult to follow the "path" to the home. While we liked the limited access to the outside world, we did start as we were walking along rock formations to find fishing spots, if something would happen, without wireless and internet access, you wouldn't have quick resources to reach out for help. Again, nothing critical, just things you think about in today's easy access world. This is one of the cleanest places we have ever stayed. The kitchen has most of anything you can think of. The surroundings are absolutely beautiful. The items I've posted are for awareness as each renter is different as to their preferences. And the weather during our visit wasn't ideal but the home is very nice. ##### Dan R.

The property and lake were nice but the property is badly misrepresented in the listing. The "dirt road" is an off-road trail at best and this is coming from someone that lives on a dirt road! The house sits on 5 acres not 145!!!! This property is ON THE SIDE OF A MOUNTIAN! We had no idea there was a mountain range there. The "driveway" has a 250 foot decent from the gate to the house, most of which is in the second half of the drive. There are large roots and football sized rocks/boulders all over the trail. The worst part is once you get to the second half of the driveway there is no possible way to turn around so you are stuck going all the way down to the house. We have a newer SUV with all-terrain tires but it is 2WD and were barely able to leave the property. We were literally stuck there for 2 days without food and no way to leave to get any. The owner was unreachable and there is no internet or cell phone service at the house. We had to walk the half mile back to the road to even attempt to make calls. VRBO did nothing to help us get a refund, the host has never even visited the property to see how bad the driveway is, and the owner won't answerr my calls for a refund. We barely spent two nights there out of a 6 night stay. We would have left immediately if we could have! I will NEVER visit ANYWHERE IN ARKANSAS EVER AGAIN!! WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!! ##### S J.
