Holiday rentals with a kayak in Mississippi River

What an absolute gem of a stay. The property is impeccably maintained and so beautiful. The guests house that we stayed in was so comfortable and very clean. The bed is quite possibly the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on. The pool and the hot tub are perfect. The doggo’s are super sweet and lovable. Danielle and the rest of the team are all very smart and a pleasure to talk with. We will definitely be referring the place to our friends and will be back ourselves every year as long as it’s available.

Can't recommend this place enough. Serene surroundings overlooking the river; watching the barges float by and fish jump was the perfect way to relax. Between the deck, patio, and lower patio, there was always a place to sit and take in the view. Bed was EXTREMELY comfortable, and location was 15-20 minutes from anything you could need in Peoria. Can't wait to return!

My family had the best time staying at this house! We had 4 adults and 2 kids (5 and 8 years old). The house itself is beautiful. It looks newly built. We’re a big fishing family and having the dock right there was a huge bonus for us. The water was still a bit too cold to swim, but that didn’t stop the kiddos! They had a blast. The house has extra life jackets, fishing poles, and has kayaks! I know there’s some comments about the neighborhood looking rough compared to the beautiful home being rented, but the neighborhood wasn’t bad at all. We didn’t have any issues with the neighbors. I consider it just a normal “lake property” where there’s a mix of homes, RVs, trailers, etc. It didn’t bother us one bit. Thomas was quick to respond if we had a question. Everywhere we ate was delicious. If you’re looking for a quiet getaway, I highly recommend staying here. We will definitely stay here again.

Joe and his place were absolutely perfect for our family getaway. The location, space, and amenities helped make this a prefect vacation.

Anna was friendly and responsive from the get-go. We were in town a couple of days and had a very comfortable stay. She did warn us about traffic due to construction in the area, but even with the construction we were able to find our way easily. Very cute little place!

This was a great place to celebrate my MIL’s 60th birthday. It was in a quiet, family friendly area. The house is exactly what we needed!

Cannot say enough good things about this property. Perfect spot to relax and unwind. Hosts were very responsive to any questions or concerns we might have. The welcome pie was wonderful.

I wish I could give 10 out of 5 stars. This was absolutely the best vacation myself and my fiancé could have asked for. From swimming in the lake, fishing, grilling, making s’mores by the fire, or just relaxing in the house at night. We never wanted to leave! Tamara and Robert were excellent hosts, the house was stocked with every amenity we could ask for, and the lake was a beautiful temperature all week. I really can’t express enough how perfect of a stay this was. We are definitely considering coming back sooner than later!

This is a great space. There are so many sitting areas to enjoy the relaxation and seclusion. I will recommend this spot to everyone in my home town of Monroe/West Monroe Louisiana that is looking for a couples retreat. The place is also so close and easy to everything a person might come to Hot Springs for (very important). We will come back, for sure. Thank you Donna and Luke

Christopher was very nice and very helpful. He is very quick to respond to any questions or needs. The cabin was exactly as described and the area was very quiet and peaceful. We had an excellent stay.

Enjoyed our stay at Vanessa’a lake house. It was absolutely beautiful inside and out. We enjoyed the hot tub and watching the wildlife in area. This place is the perfect spot if you’re looking to check out the hot springs as well.

Quiet and peaceful. Great fishing.

very nice and relaxing

The Lighthouse Lakehouse was very cute and cozy. It was so peaceful eating my breakfast on the deck every morning - staring out at the water and listening to the sounds of nature. If you want tranquility, this place is it. My teens enjoyed paddleboarding on the lake each evening. We spent the majority of our time at the AirBnb, but also enjoyed scenic hikes to nearby waterfalls and touring Blanchard Springs Caverns. It was the perfect start to our summer.

Beautiful home. Nice and private, but close enough to everything we needed. The kayaks and lake were the best part for our kids!

Thoroughly enjoyed the visit. Large amount of land for setting up badminton net, croquet and throwing around a football. Enjoyed fishing, swimming, the kayaks and paddle boat that were on the properties. Lake was very peaceful and 150 year old house was great with lot's of nice personal touches inside. Thank you so much Steve and Erin for a great weekend stay.

This place was perfect for me and my husband. Quiet and cozy little cabin even though other cabins are close to it. always have bird feed. You will a goose and 2 ducks visit often for a snack. Go out and explore, there are some absolutely gorgeous natural surroundings. Justus has some amazing suggestions and he was right. Would love to come back for a longer visit. Thank you

Had an amazing stay! Beautiful secluded cabin with a lot of privacy and amazing outdoor views! The host is very responsive and always proactive in providing all the details needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Will definitely return again!

This cabin is exactly as pictured! There are great views of the lake from all the rooms and it had everything we needed for a comfortable, cozy stay. The surrounding neighborhood was very quiet. We appreciated the board games, puzzles, and indoor gas stove as it rained for most of our stay. Would definitely come back!

Our stay was truly special and exactly what we were hoping for to celebrate our anniversary. The cabin was not only just as described, but it had an extra warmth and charm that made it feel like home. It was the perfect mix of comfort, peacefulness, and beautiful scenery—ideal for unwinding and spending quality time together. What really made the experience stand out, though, was Kevin’s hospitality. He went out of his way to make sure we had a great time—he even lent us one of his fishing poles and gave us a quick lesson, which meant a lot to us as first-timers. That kind of thoughtfulness made the trip even more memorable. We’re so glad we chose this place to celebrate, and we’re already looking forward to coming back. Thank you Kevin!

Jay was very friendly and made us feel at home. Will stay again soon. So peaceful and the view was amazing.

We enjoyed our stay at Pam’s cabin to the hilt! Lovely home on a beautifully wooded property. Super comfortable—the showers, beds, kitchen, living room—everything felt good. We spent a good deal of time on the deck each morning with our coffee, listening to the birds. This home was such a treat—we hope to return soon!

Great experience! The girls had a fabulous time. They are already planning their next visit.

We recently had the absolute pleasure of spending a weekend in a 100+ year old cabin nestled deep in the forest along a riverbank—and it was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by the incredibly friendly and accommodating host, Tim, who made sure every detail of our stay was perfect. The cabin itself is a beautiful blend of rustic charm and timeless character. Waking up to the sound of birds singing in the trees was pure serenity. The surrounding forest is lush and full of life, perfect for morning walks, afternoon reading in the shade, or simply sitting by the river with a cup of coffee. Tim went above and beyond to make us feel at home—offering great local tips, sharing stories about the cabin’s history, and even leaving us a personal note. If you're looking to unplug, reconnect with nature, and enjoy a truly unique and peaceful retreat, this cabin is a hidden gem. Thank you, Tim, for your hospitality and for sharing this special place with us.
