We stayed at Degay Lodge and it was the most wonderful peaceful experience. This is the first time…read morewe have stayed at the lodge as we are usually camping in the summertime. The staff allowed us to check in early and the room had an INCREDIBLE view of the lake. There is bicycle rentals (some have kid seats) and a nice playground for children on the grounds. The room contained a refrigerator but no microwave. The bed was really comfortable! The buffet breakfast does not come with the room and is an additional $7.99/person. The buffet features fresh fruit, oatmeal, cereal, bagels, pancakes, bacon, sausage, busicits, and scrambled eggs. The food was OK. A sunset boat tour of the lake for $8.50 (for an hour and a half) was one of the activities going on. There are many other activities in the park which we did not participate in. The walking trail around the lodge is lit up so you can enjoy it at night. This lodge is located 22 miles from Hot Springs so we enjoyed our day trips there.

Every season is a good time to go but I would suggest spring or summer for nice weather. I would recommend this tour to everyone! Thanks Howard!!

The house was not NEARLY as active as I had hoped it would be, I did have the spirit of Daphne Young trying to communicate with me a majority of the tour though! The owner of the house/tour guide was super informative and kind. You could tell he loves giving tours, loves his home, and loves all the spirits that reside there. It was a super fun way to spend our Sunday morning/afternoon!

Lake Catherine-- We absolutely love this lake!…read more Although, I felt like things were not labeled as they should have been during the hike of "Falls Creek Falls". There were marks on trees during the hike that were red, white and yellow, but I had no idea what those meant. Maybe this part of town is less touristy and more locals, because people had set up hammocks, and all of their things that they needed for the night/day around the waterfall after the hike. I spoke to a sweet man and woman on a golf cart who seemed to work there, as they were going around and changing papers for the reservations for there were trailers in the parking lot, and they advised us on where to go and park. They did advise us that if you go on the trails, if you go towards the left, the hike is shorter and it's about a 1/2 a mile, and if you go towards the right, it's about a mile and a 1/2 Which is a great tip because, of course, we wanted to take the shorter route. We had a toddler and an elderly person with us, and so we did not want to do a strenuous hike. This hike was just enough for us to feel better adventurous, and like we accomplished something when we got to the falls. The falls were beautiful, and the water looked gorgeous. Although, I did see later on another app, that a lot of times sewer water gets into the falls. Unfortunately, we had decided to take a dip even though we didn't have swim suits just because it looks so refreshing but it's just something to keep in mind. Overall, we would definitely come here again! It looks like a great place to bring lunch and hang out and eat after a great hike!
