Being a solo traveling person, I totally feel safe at this park. Many different trails to take. The trails leading to the water was my favorite. I end up just watching people riding their boat and water skiing. Great place to have a picnic also. The fishing pier is my favorite spot to get some sun in and there is a bench there that you can just sit and look out. If you really look, you will find a spot you can actually go down to swim. Not sure if it's safe and permit. Take a look at my picture I posted to see if you can find the spot. BTW, getting to the park is easy breezy but when it's time to get out the park, use caution. Cars coming all different directions with the slopes!

We wanted a pet-friendly place that provided a more peaceful respite, as well as a chance to cook some of our own meals. When we found Willow Beach Resort, we were delighted. The rooms are older but they are comfortable and clean, and do give you direct access to the lake, which is just so peaceful. Also, the owners are so kind and lovely to talk to.

The rooms were very comfortable, super cute with a retro-looking kitchen, and a small but efficient bathroom. We stayed in a double. The beds were definitely small, and very soft. Each room has an outside picnic table, chairs and grill/fire pit. Fishing right from there. And very quick replying to questions. We will definitely stay here again. Next time, though, we'll stay longer.

From the moment you turn onto state park road, you can feel the calming and rejuvenating atmosphere. The views of the lake and surrounding areas were breathtaking, as well as all of the wildlife. Every member of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, it felt as if I was at a good friends house for a week. I'd like to take the time to shout out the restaurant staff, in particular; Gina, Lauren, Shannon Rick and David. Every time we found ourselves in the restaurant we were welcomed with great energy and open smiles that could be felt and seen through the masks, regardless of time of day. It was as if we were regulars at our favorite spot. Would absolutely recommend for anybody trying to take some time to disconnect from daily life and get back in touch with the simpler sides of life.

My fiancé and I both got salads (one Cobb and one chef) and our friends got the gyro and the quesadilla. Neither of us had any complaints, it all came out relatively quickly, and tasted great. Our waitress was slammed (someone called in) but she was very attentive to our needs and brought us refills before we were even finished! Overall we were impressed and glad we decided to stop in instead of bringing sandwiches.

The cabin is near the owner's house, but not to the point that it is a disturbance, as can sometimes be the case. The cottage is not fancy but well-equipped for all needs. There are 4 double/queen beds, two in each room, so lots of sleeping space and no extra charge for extra people, so it is economical. It is surrounded by 30 acres and set back from the main road. There is some sweet playground equipment. Also there are 1 1/2 baths. I'd recommend this place for larger groups or families. The Degray lake is beautiful and there is a lot to do in the area.

You can just tell they love their horses and they are all fat and happy! The horses, not their caregivers..... It doesn't look like much but it's because they are laid back and very informal. You can pet the horses before you ride and I even offered to help brush one but I think they thought I was joking. I wasn't. The ride was beautiful! My horse was placid but still had enough spunk that I had to pay attention so he wouldn't wander off the trail. He was half draft and half Quarter and he was a huge fellow! I fell in love at first sight! Even my hubby who is scared of horses, never been around horses, and never ridden before had a blast! If you're a newbie, that's fine, they will take great care of you! If you've ridden before and think you'll be bored, don't worry! The scenery is so gorgeous you'll forget that the horse is doing most of the work. They are seasonal and don't have a website to make reservations but just give them a call and they will get you set up. I believe it was $45 for the hour long ride and it was so worth it! Definitely do not miss doing this when you're here in Hot Springs!

The company actually changed owners after we booked but before we occupied and there wasn't a single bump. From the moment we arrived to after we departed the staff was amazing. We arrived a little early and they were still cleaning the boat but busted their butts so that we could get on early. We brought our own ski boat that of course broke the second we got there - on Memorial Day - but Tammy (owner) called the owner of Iron Mountain Marina to help us out. He locked up our boat over night, gave us a loaner boat free of charge and looked at ours the next day! Amazing, helpful people. The houseboat staff then towed us out to a beautiful cove, that looked like no one had ever been there before, and tied us off for the week. Brett told us about some great rocks to jump off on the other side of the lake and gave great fishing tips for the area.They texted often to see if we needed anything and came any time we needed them. The boat itself was gorgeous! I couldn't believe it. It was nicer AND larger than some apartments I have lived in! We had a blast hanging out, lighting fires on the beach, swimming, jumping off the side, sliding down the slide, etc, etc. To say that I would recommend this trip to anyone is an understatement. I can not wait to go back next year. DeGray Lake is an untouched, pristine lake that everyone should experience and the staff of Anchor's Away and Iron Mountain Marina are icing on the cake!

Our reservation had to be pushed back two weeks due to the pool having a leak so when we got there we had a wine basket full of goodies to apologize for the inconvenience. The owner came down on the first night to make sure we had everything we needed, which we did, and to show me how to turn all the lights on in the pool room and be able to play our music. There is a speaker system set up throughout the house and the pool room. We played our music loud because there are no neighbors close by to bother which is a plus. The kitchen had all cookware you could need and even the fridge was stocked with condiments you might need. We loved playing on the pool table and relaxing in the amazing electric recliner watching TV. We even received a call from Deanna after we left asking for feedback on how they could improve and make sure our stay was up to our expectations. We definitely plan on making a repeat visit and next time with a group.
