Gathering of girlfriends
Location is good, house is spacious. General areas clean enough but under cabinets, microwave, and dishes were not. It needs a thorough cleaning. All Linens needed replacing. Hairdryer so small not usable. Beds OK. House is somewhat "retro" but mostly just old. Old cabinets, doors don't close well. Dining chair fabric so worn it was torn and ripped on multiple chairs. We stayed, but I was very disappointed. You can be old "retro" and still be clean and fully functional. Would not stay here again.

Wonderful lake house close to everything.
My family stayed for 2 nights and it was a very comfortable house. We launched our boat and docked it at the house. The yard is spacious with plenty of outside games, fire pit and seating. The bedrooms were comfortable and plenty of room for the 6 of us. We used the grill and cooked in the kitchen, the kitchen is very well equipped with everything that we needed. The driveway was easy to use with a boat trailer. We would definitely recommend this home and will look for this home when we return to Lake Hamilton.

We loved this place! Great location, super clean, and loved the retro vibe! Our kids loved the use of the kayaks. The only suggestion is to put a bunk bed in the recreation area. It would provide more comfortable sleeping for extra kids.

Terrific property, helpful owner
I have a family of 4 with kids 10 and 12 and the property was terrific and accurately described. The Retro Ranch has great vibe and floorplan. After realizing I didn't book enough nights, the owner helped find a very close rental to stay. I would stay here again.

A mid-century retreat
Over the holidays between Christmas and new years, our dispersed family gathered in Hot Springs to reconnect. As artists, designers and writers, we found Retro Ranch to be a perfect outlier from the usual vanilla rentals. Retro Ranch is a happy, quirky, and unique place to stay. Despite being a small house, it lived large, with lots of gathering space and an airy, open feel. The retro collection of furniture gave off a mid-century modern vibe that takes one back into a simpler, and more innocent time. It comfortably accommodated our 6 adults, two pre-teens and small, shy dog.
