Stunning Diamondhead Retreat
Enjoy all that Hot Springs has to offer spending your days on exquisite golf courses, exploring historic bathhouses, taking in the trails of Lake Catherine State Park (or Hot Springs National Park), enjoying museums, locally owned shops, art galleries and dozens of restaurants and bars, plus so much more. Then return to this ideal home base to recharge so you can get up and do it all over again.
A standout in every sense of the word, this totally unique, octagon-shaped home stuns from the inside and out. Recently renovated, this 2-bedroom, 2½-bath gem is located in the fabulous Diamondhead community, which is just outside beautiful, historic Hot Springs. The gated subdivision features an 18-hole PGA year-round golf course, tennis courts, basketball courts, Olympic-sized swimming pool, a Country Club/Community Center featuring the 19th Hole Restaurant and gorgeous scenery of all types. For anyone seeking a relaxing getaway, a romantic retreat, a fun-filled family vacation or even a stellar place to work remotely, this is the place for you!
Whether you’re here to golf, hike, shop, dine at one of many diverse and delicious culinary spots, enjoy horse racing, sporting events, outdoor activities, adventuring or for a spa vacation—you’ll have the perfect place to stay during your visit to this premier destination, nestled in the Ouachita Mountains.
As you enter the striking home, you’ll be instantly charmed by its sleek yet inviting appeal. From the living room to the kitchen and dining spaces, your eye is drawn to the stark contrast of black ceiling beams and black/dark brown touches against white walls, light wood tables, counters and shelving. The modern furnishings and décor are accented with pops of color and a wash of natural light that flows over all the common areas, give the space a bright and warm feel. You’ll love making the most of the spacious floor plan, which is perfect for entertaining, playing games with friends or preparing and enjoying a home-cooked meal.
Feel inspired to go wild with your meal prep in the luxe-feeling kitchen. Have fun simply hanging out or enjoy cooking in the fully equipped and updated space. While you’re at the preparation and creation, don’t let your inner barista go unfulfilled. Be sure to take advantage a fully stocked coffee station.
Take your pick of mealtime accommodations with an incredible view. Choose from the indoor dining table seating 6, outdoors along the deck bar seating 4, or at the deck’s end at a shaded picnic table (seating 6) to enjoy your favorite meal, snack or drink. Overlooking the lush greens, the forestry and mountain scenery—you can’t go wrong.
Every space in this airy and fabulous home has something to offer in the way of enjoyment, especially the living room. Lounge in stylish comfort on the super cozy couch and binge your favorite shows or stream your favorite movie on any of the popular options available with the Smart TV—but don’t expect any buffering, with the mega-fast Internet provided at this place. Spread out a board game, enjoy a glass of wine or just sit back, relax and unwind in the welcoming, contemporary living space. *The couch pulls out to offer additional sleeping.
Looking to retire and refresh after a day of doing all things Hot Springs? Look no further as you’ll find ultimate relaxation and seclusion in either of the bedrooms (suitable for all ages). You’ve hiked, museum-ed, shopped, wine-d and/or dined to your heart’s content and now you’re ready to rejuvenate. Drift off into the dreamiest, restful sleep in an ultra-comfortable, queen bed and cozy bedroom designed with peaceful slumber in mind. The soothing tones and textures of the art and décor include modern, clean-lined stylings, continuing the theme throughout the home. In the first room, blue, gray, black and white hues give the room a sense of ease and in the second, earthy textures, orange and yellow hues evoke a warmth and comfort that will have your setting off for adventures in dreamland. Enjoy the privacy of en-suite, full bathrooms in both rooms. Primp and pamper or soak away any tension in a warm bath to experience a spa-like moment.
Ready to take the action outside? Head out to the deck to sit and enjoy your peaceful surroundings as you gaze at the serene golf course vistas. Or let your competitive side come out in a game of darts. Follow the wrap around deck to find a wall-mounted dartboard tucked away in a nook. Or make your way down the deck stairs and find yourself a comfy seat at one of the Adirondack chairs circling the firepit overlooking the 13th fairway. Tell stories, laugh and make memories, as you roast hotdogs, make s’mores or just sit and enjoy the warmth of the fire while looking out onto the greens.
Interested in venturing out? You don’t have to look far for a variety of options to enjoy the nature and recreation that make this Diamondhead gem the ideal location. You have full access to many amenities such as an Olympic-sized pool, a workout facility and tennis and basketball courts.
Just a short 15-minute drive brings you into downtown Hot Springs, Garvan Gardens and Adventureworks Sports Center. Or get out on the water and enjoy Lake Catherine, known to be one of the best black bass fishing lakes in Arkansas. Lake Catherine State Park and boat ramp access is also only a few minutes away.

House was decent. Beds were hard. When we got there, one room was infested with lady bugs. Notified host. Someone came out spray poison I guess but by the end of our 3 night stay, every room in the house had lady bugs every where. My family was pretty unhappy about it. Put a damper on our Christmas vacation.

This was this first VRBO we have ever stayed in. The trip was in preparation for our wedding & when we were not focused on our wedding we were dealing with constant communication with our host due to the none of the TVs functioning properly. We had our own means of enjoying entertainment which held us over, however, with the amount that you pay, you expect all features to function properly prior to checking in. The host did attempt to resolve the issue but we were already at the end of our trip. In addition when checking in, we reached out asking if we could check in early, the host advised that they would let me know as soon as possible but did not reply there after. The one shower drain was absolutely disgusting. Upon departure, we were asked to start the laundry for their cleaning crew which I personally think is odd considering that we pay for a cleaning fee. Not to mention check out is at 11am & we left exactly at 11 and I guess the cleaning crew was sitting In their personal car staring me and my husband down as we were rolling out. It was quite uncomfortable. Overall there were some structural concerns & home ownership needs that should be addressed. Don’t get me wrong it’s a beautiful home but the host does not check on it frequently enough & it needs to be better maintained.

Check in was easy! It was nice having 2 1/2 baths with 5 people. We really enjoyed the property and the location. The drive to attractions wasn’t bad at all. Our children enjoyed the community pool and seeing all the deer! We loved that it was a gated community. Definitely would stay here again.

Overall very good place to stay.
This house and hosts were great. We even got to see a family of deer roaming the golf course at night. Wasn't too far from different lakes that you would like to visit. The only downside was the laundry room, it is located under the house and did not look to be used because it was not as kept up as the main living area. But other than that it was a really nice place to stay. Thank you for allowing us to stay there and make more memories with the family!
We loved our stay especially enjoyed the communication of the host and the opportunity to see deer grazing nearby each evening. Would recommend and stay again

Weekend Get Away
We found the cabin to be really cute & clean. We came in later in the evening and found the "19th Hole" a little bar & grill on the golf course, when we entered we were welcomed by the people in the bar, had a fun time, such a friendly atmosphere and fun people, one lady even went so far as to run to her house and grab some coffee pods so that we could have coffee the next morning (I had told her there were none at the cabin). The only draw back to our lodging was other than one sofa (another comfortable chair or love seat is needed) there was no comfortable seating to relax in the living area in the evening and there were only three of us. We loved Hot Springs, had a great time, would stay again.

Communication and hospitality stellar, leading to one of our best experiences from a VRBO host. Nice views from the wrap around deck and windows if this artistically designed octagonal home. The community all seemed nice and taking care of their homes and properties.

Perfect quiet retreat
Let me start by saying that Chris was a pleasure to work with. His flexibility and communication was top notch and he honestly saved our spring break. This unique property is situated on a quiet golf course and very accessible to all the adventures we had planned. Garvan gardens, downtown hot springs, and rob coleman mine were all very drivable distance and coming back to a kitchen that was easy to cook dinner in every night was perfect. Being able to do a load of laundry half way through our stay was an added bonus and if you stay in the springtime you get to wake up to the sound of birds chirping and a beautiful flowering tree right outside the window. Thanks for a great stay!

This home is super super cozy and spacious we thoroughly enjoyed our weekend here.
The property is clean and quiet. The host is pretty prompt in responding. We only have issue where the microwave is located, it is a bit inconvenient, because we have to use it a lot. Also, if you want to have a great coffee, just bring your own creamer. I made coffee for my daughter, and it is a bit sub-standard in taste, she did not drink the coffee at all. Overall, we still have a pleasant stay.
