This was our family’s first trip to Lake Hamilton / Hot Springs - and we’re so grateful we chose Edgewater Resorts for our stay! I’m all about 100% honest reviews, so I’ll be thorough. That being said, our overall stay was incredibly memorable and we’ll be back!
PROS
1. Our cabin (#4) was immediately on the water and this was a MUST for us! The master bedroom had the most gorgeous lake views we could’ve asked for.
2. The hosts really did take personal comfort into consideration by adding bedroom fans, beach towels, coffee pods & creamer, snacks, extra pillows, laundry hamper, etc. to the cabin.
3. When we arrived, the cabin was in immaculate condition: cleaned from top to bottom. The decor was very cabin-like but also thoughtful and well placed. Really felt homey and clean upon arrival (also, extra trash cans and bags made it easier to keep the cabin clean during our stay!)
4. The signage for Edgewater Resorts make it really easy to find the location - even in the dark. This is a very secluded, yet easy-to-find location. Big plus!
5. There was a great variety of fishing docks, swimming beach spots, and chairs to sit out and enjoy the beautiful lake view!
6. The property manager and host are both extremely communicative and quick to respond to all of your needs during your stay.
7. This resort is very close to Hot Springs, marinas and all of the local attractions we came to visit.
CONS
1. There’s really not much the host can do about this, but beware of spiders. They’re everywhere, inside and out. We bought bug spray at the Wal-Mart in Hot Springs (also nearby - another PRO) and that seemed to help indoors.
2. The living room looks directly onto the cabin next door. When they decide to grill and be rowdy at night, that’s really the only “family view” you have going on. The cabins are just a bit close to one another and we were excited about the seclusion.
3. WiFi/Internet didn’t work in our cabin until the middle of day #2 on our trip. That being said, the property manager busted her booty to fix the issue ASAP and it wasn’t a top priority for us - especially with cell signal being so great.
ALL IN ALL
We will absolutely be reserving another Edgewater Resort cabin for our birthday weekend trip next year. We had an amazing time and the pros FAR outweigh the cons -by A LONG SHOT!
