I had a great stay! The cottage was clean and had everything that I needed. Access to the lake was a quick drive or short walk. Enjoyed the food truck that was within walking distance. Property was remote but very peaceful.

Worth the trip

The cabin is great and has everything needed for a short or long stay including utensils, plates pans..etc..The room is great and AC works very well. My only downside which isnt a knock to property is the bed, im a big boy and prefer king size beds, i think the cabin has a full size, its good and comfy for 1 person IMO. I would stay again and plan to soon. We snapped this photo on 2nd day of great sunset over Lake Ouachita.

Great Getaway!

Cute little cottage. Perfect size for 2 adults and 2 small dogs. Pretty view. Toilet runs but other than that no issues. Plenty of towels and hot water. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to staying again!
View from couch. Lake was flooded due to recent weather.

Anniversary trip

The cabin is small but has everything you need. Our only complaint was the ROCK HARD bed. We checked out 2 days early due to being unable to sleep but the host refunded our 2 nights and was extremely gracious. If bed was replaced we would definitely stay again.

Anniversary and Christmas Getaway

Online booking was easy. Property exactly as described and shown in pictures. I was a little bit worried about the after hour check in process as our key and contract were not in the safe. The host number never was answered. So we finally located a maintenance man and he got us taken care of. My only 2 complaints are 1- toilet is super low and you have to jiggle the handle and 2- the hot water heater was weak for showers. Those were such minor things and we loved our stay here so much that I tried to extend our stay another night, however it was already booked. I love to cook and this kitchen has modern new appliances and every gadget needed to make a feast while watching tv or chatting with family and friends while cooking it up. The amenities are awesome! The location is beyond beautiful and my husband and I enjoyed reconnecting around nature..We highly recommend this place.

Autumn Get-Away

My husband and I stayed here for a few days during October. This was our first visit to Arkansas. Magnolia Cottage was a perfect place to stay for 2 people. The cottage has pretty much everything we needed. The kitchen is equipped with what is needed to prepare basic meals and we used the charcoal grill outside the cottage. We appreciated that it was located in a quiet, wooded area on Lake Ouachita which is a less populated lake away from the busyness of Hot Springs. It is an easy drive from the cottage to area attractions near Hot Springs. There is a great trailhead down the road that we hiked for a couple hours. Garvan Woodland Gardens is a must see. We did the trolley car ride in Hot Springs which gave us some great information about the area and the history of the city. We are native Minnesotans and are now living in Texas. We wanted to find something that reminded us of our cabin in northern Minnesota and this did not disappoint. The lakes in this area are beautiful! We definitely would return here.

The cabin was so nice and just what we needed for our stay. Right on the water and close to a swim beach. It was stocked with everything we needed for cooking all week! We plan to be back next year!

Anniversary Weekend

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay for our anniversary. Cabin had everything we needed. Only complaint we have is the bed is extremely hard and the outside lighting isn’t the best. Besides that we really enjoyed our time and the owners were super communicative when we had issues with the hot water.

It’s a beautiful area, & the cabin is cute. But be prepared as it is a long ways from town. Make sure to bring all your food & cooking needs! Lake is real pretty, but was disappointed some areas were closed off. Other than that is was cozy.
