Lakefront with Private Dock & Hot Tub, Sleeps 18

An amazing lakefront location and exquisite design make Camp Blue Bird the ideal retreat for your next getaway to Hot Springs. This 6-bedroom, 3.5-bath, two-story luxury lake house accommodates up to 18 guests, has direct access to Lake Hamilton, and offers unparalleled water views. Beautifully styled with exquisite attention to detail, the family-friendly space boasts the best of both worlds with fantastic living space indoors and out plus an incredible offering of on-property extras.

Perfect for a large family or group retreat, Camp Blue Bird provides proximity to Hot Springs with the feeling of being completely secluded in nature’s paradise. This spectacular private lake home has been newly remodeled as a vacation destination with all the conveniences of a luxury property. The light filled, custom designed residence has 4 bedrooms upstairs, 1 bedroom downstairs, a bunk room, and 3+ bathrooms including a spa like sunroom off the primary bedroom. The fully stocked designer kitchen with large center island is a chef’s dream, and the expansive living spaces ensure everyone in the group has room to spread out. Soaring ceilings allow for large windows that showcase beautiful Lake Hamilton, and under the stairs is a play area fully stocked with toys that is perfect for young children. Refined open living areas, indoor laundry facilities, and plenty of parking add to the long list of amazing amenities.

Your vacation continues the moment you step out the door where an abundance of fun lake activities awaits. A prime location on a great swimming cove directly off the main channel of Lake Hamilton provides easy access to every popular water activity imaginable. Arriving by boat? The property has a private dock that can also accommodate personal watercraft such as jet skis, kayaks, and paddleboards. Camp Blue Bird has plenty to offer land lovers, too. There is a 100’ waterfront deck directly off the main living space of the lake house that is the ideal spot for relaxation with tables, outdoor seating and comfortable lounging areas, a Blackstone grill, and a wood burning fire pit, all with stunning water views. Families with children will love the kayak that is thoughtfully included with the house rental and the extra space beside the long driveway that is perfect for outdoor games. After some time on the lake and enjoying all the area has to offer, relax in the hot tub with a lake view as the sun sets on a beautiful day in paradise.

Nestled in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas, Hot Springs is known for the 47 thermal-water springs that give the city its name, many of them in Hot Springs National Park to the north. Three blue-water lakes, a pristine National Forest, and countless family-friendly attractions define this modern city with historical roots. Here you will find the boyhood home of a President, a colorful past that includes Al Capone, and the birthplace of Major League Baseball spring training. Lake Hamilton is considered the #1 vacation resort area in Arkansas, offering water activities across its 7,460 acres such as swimming, fishing, boating, kayaking and paddleboarding. It is also near several popular area attractions including Oaklawn Horse Racing and Casino Resort, Historic Bathhouse Row, Garvan Woodland Gardens, and many highly rated waterside restaurants.

Hot Springs/Lake Hamilton is best seen and traveled by car. For a special water adventure, you can bring your own boat or rent one to explore the lake and dine at several lakeside restaurants during your stay. The area is also serviced by Lyft, Uber, and Hot Springs Taxi.

Paradise on the Lake!

We stayed here for my sister’s bachelorette weekend this past weekend and had the absolute best time! There were 15 of us and we had more than enough space to sleep and for activities. We rented a boat one day so having that dock access was a major bonus. We did have one issue with the garbage disposal not working but the property manager, Jeff, had someone out there to fix it immediately! We will definitely be coming back!! Thank you

Best house ever.

We love this house. We have been there three times. The owner is constantly updating and making the property more usable. The fact there is no long space from the house to the lake is huge. We can be on the deck and still watch and communicate with the people in the water. The living space is wonderful. It’s a great house.

Wonderful house

This house was perfect for our family. We have stayed there four times. At times there have been 17 of us there and we did not feel crowded. The fun in the lake was wonderful. The make up of the house and decoration is lovely. Everything that we needed was there. Our grandchildren were begging to stay another day. One of the best parts of the whole trip is how quickly the management and property manager respond when we have a need. They are wonderful to work with. We’ve already made a reservation for next year. We love this house.

Terrible Experience – Unresponsive Host, Reservation Canceled Upon Arrival

Booked our stay for family of 14 (grandparents, cousins, etc) 4 months in advance. Received no communicaition from host except for requests for payment. 2 days before our arrival, host sent door code and check in instructions. 4 hours before our arrival, host (without identifying themselves) sent a link via text, outside of VRBO, asking us for a security deposit. When we arrived at the home, door code did not work, and host would not respond to messages on VRBO or phone calls at the number listed on VRBO. We finally called the number from whence we'd received the strange text, asking who they were. They identified themselves as the host, and demanded the deposit before they would give us a door code which worked. We contacted VRBO, waited on phone for an hour, transferred to a higher up, waited another hour. We sat at the home for 3 hours trying to find a solution. After we escalated the complaint with VRBO, host canceled the resercalled and threatened us,

Exactly as described! Rooms were great, especially the bunk room for kids. Our family lived on the nice big deck and really enjoyed the hot tub and kayaks. Appreciated that the kitchen was adequately stocked to have enough of everything, like coffee cups, for all guests. Would definitely stay again!

Nice house

The house was a good size for our large group. Well equiped with kayaks. Good amount of dishes and glassware. House stayed cool despite high heat outside. Plenty to see in area. Did not have dish soap. Only 4 dishwasher pods and 2 pods for washing machine. One bathroom had no hand soap. I would recommend higher quality toilet paper. Overall great space and would recommend.

Great Family Gathering Place

We loved our stay at Blue Bird! The outdoor space was amazing and had something for everyone. Having the dock with the kayaks was super fun and the kids loved swimming and fishing in the cove. The inside was spacious and the large dining table and kitchen island made it easy for big family meals. The Overnight Digs team was very communicative and quick to respond with any questions or concerns. We will definitely be back! Thanks!

Lake Hamilton golf HQ

Spacious, clean home w/ cantilevered deck on the water w/ double washers/dryers. Hot tub worked perfectly. Good kitchen equipment/appliances/glassware, plenty of linens. Double coffee makers w/ carafes was a nice touch. Place needs some character and a softer feel to it (comfy chairs/couches), end tables, and tables between chairs. Roku was slow, but the house WI-FI was perfectly speedy. We enjoyed our stay there.

50th anniversary celebration

We had our whole family here to help us celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. The proximity to the lake was great! Kids could swim several times a day. The lake toys were well utilized. The size was just right for our group. The play room under the stairs was the favorite spot of our four granddaughters ages 3 - 6. The large deck was fabulous.

We have stayed at Kent Bluebird five years in a row. Every year has just gotten better and better. We love the house. It has space for all 18 of us. It’s appropriate for adults and children. The lake is wonderful. It is in a beautiful Cove that is peaceful and safe for the kids to swim in. We will probably be going back again next year. The communication with the owner is highly efficient. She answers me instantly. It is a Wounderful house. I would recommend it for anyone.

Merry Christmas to Us!

This is a beautiful home that will not disappoint. The listing is very accurate right down to the towels in the bathrooms. We book something every year so that our extended family can enjoy a Christmas weekend together. This was, by far, the best weekend yet. The home was spacious enough for everyone to have their own private room. The open concept of the living room and kitchen made it possible for all of us to be able to visit during cooking, eating, and tv watching. This home is definitely on my list for a return visit.

Very nice property. Excellent communications with the host. Wonderful beds and linens. Lovely large tables to enjoy dinner and/or games in the evenings. Nice view of the lake. Kitchen was well stocked with appliances for use. This would be an ideal home for a large family. We were a group of women and thoroughly enjoyed it as we each had our own bedroom. Quiet neighborhood. Nice outdoor space. Unfortunately, we had to cancel our pontoon ride from the home due to very cold temperatures. But that is a lovely add to the property possibilities.
