Relax and get away from it all in the Shore House! This house is so refreshing. It offers a bright and cheery lake house atmosphere with views of Lake Hamilton from every window in the great room. The great room--living, dining and kitchen are all open to each other and boast vaulted ceilings, knotty pine walls and tile floors. Each bedroom is tastefully decorated with lake house theme. The covered deck spans the length of the house and sits literally feet away from the lake. A child friendly swimming area is steps from the front door. The Shore House has a great swim dock which has a place to tie up one boat. You will see sunrise and sunset from the deck and the dock. Beautiful!

Fantastic lake view
We had a wonderful stay at this cottage on Lake Hamilton. The view was fantastic, as if you were floating right on the lake since it was right next to the shoreline. The front porch was a great place to hang out, but even the views from inside the house were of water. We will defintely return!

Another great time
Went to see the lights at Garvin Gardens, which is only about 15 minutes away. Absolutely beautiful spot right on the lake. In fact, your back porch steps go almost into the lake. It’s gonna be great in the summertime with all kind of summer sports for kids.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Buhrow

Host profile image
Captain Mark and Gigi Buhrow owned and operated the Belle of Hot Springs Riverboat from 1983 to 2016. They have four children and four grandchildren. Hot Springs has been home to us for over 30 years. They have owned lake property for rent since 1986 and enjoy sharing beautiful Lake Hamilton and Hot Springs with visitors from all over the county.

In retirement they enjoy boating, camping and traveling America.

Why they chose this property

We built the Shore House as an investment property. We actually love this home so much that when it is available we booked it for ourselves and enjoy all that it has to offer. I know this is not unusual for property owners to stay in their vacation rental homes, but it is for us because we actually live directly across the lake. This cottage is our favorite because of the proximity to the lake (about 5 feet) and the sunrise and sunset view from the deck.

What makes this property unique

The things we love most about the Shore House is how bright and refreshing it is. The covered deck is a great place to sit with a cup of coffee and a book. We love the swim area and enjoy the fact that the house is so close to the lake. The swim area is perfect for lake swimming because it is shallow at the shore and gradually gets deeper as you go out. The sunset from the covered deck is a show stopper!
