Join thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts for the Hot Springs Rally, Sept. 9-11. 
Included in the weekend activities are the parade through downtown Hot Springs, three concerts, bike show, and loads of fun. The noise and events happen in downtown Hot Springs.
Yet tucked away on the lake, you’ll find a haven of peace & quiet on Lake Hamilton. A place to soak tired muscles after riding bikes all day, in your bubbling whirlpool tub. Plus, your bikes may be safely parked under our covered carport. Give us a call at 866-525-6155 to reserve your room for the rally!

A July wedding filled with laughter and joy perfectly suited Kit & Liz. They were actually married on the July holiday weekend, when the lake was bounding with activity. The couple wanted a non-traditional setting for their wedding: mission accomplished!
For the first time in 7 years, a band was playing rock & roll music across the lake. Kit and Liz loved the spontaneous music, and even the selection of songs.
I say it often: we are lucky to receive the BEST guests at our bed & breakfast inn. A variety of intimate wedding and elopement packages is offered.

The early works of Ansel Adams, the master of American landscape, are displayed at the Hot Springs’ Museum of Contemporary Art until August 1. 
Did you know that Adams was torn between being a concert pianist and a photographer? According to MOCA, he famously likened the photographic negative to a musical score, and the print to the performance. You’ll admire 50 of his prints, on display until August 1.
Come stay at our Hot Springs bed & breakfast, convenient to the downtown museums yet nestled on beautiful Lake Hamilton.

Fireworks over Lake Hamilton
Hot Springs celebrates our nation’s birthday BIG! The fireworks over Lake Hamilton light up the sky and reflect across the water on July 3rd. It’s always a really great pyrotechnic display!
On July 2nd you’ll find live music and fireworks at Oaklawn’s Spa Blast 2010.
Rent a boat for a day of lake fun (or swim off of our dock in the clear waters of Lake Hamilton), then dine at J&S Italian Villa overlooking the fireworks. Or take the Belle Riverboat fireworks cruise for an up-close look. Let us make reservations for you soon…both places fill up quickly.
There’s still time to reserve a room at our Hot Springs bed & breakfast inn. Come join the fun!

At Lookout Point, we LOVE weddings, especially small intimate weddings. And especially when the couple is as kind & fun as Samantha & Mark. They exchanged vows today by the lake, with immediate family present. Congratulations!
Marrying at Lookout Point is becoming a trend for the Miller family. Three years ago sister Amy married Cody at Lookout Point, and today they returned to attend this wedding with their precious 2 year old son. What a joy to see them again!

Meeting the needs of our guests is the top priority of Lookout Point.
More and more travelers seek to stay fit while enjoying a vacation, so we’ve partnered with the nearby Hot Springs Health & Fitness. With the negotiated discounted rate, our guests will save some money, too.
With a certificate from the inn, our guests may participate in day long activities at the fitness center, from yoga and zumba classes to the wide array of exercise equipment and weights. An added bonus are the two outdoor pools (one for kiddos and a larger pool, including lap lanes).
Of course, you’re welcome to swim in the lake. Beach towels provided. Or nap in the hammock.

- barn swallow

Many of the birds are now nesting on the property, including the mallards. Watching the birds helps me to not take life too seriously. Somehow, I feel lighter. Thank you, David, for identifying some of our feathered friends.

On a gorgeous spring day, Shannon & Brian exchanged vows in the gardens of Lookout Point, at the water’s edge of Lake Hamilton. During the wedding ceremony, quiet Brian (whom we learned has a dry and quick wit) cracked all of us up with a unique photographer request–to get a picture of his handsome new size 15 shoes.
It was such a privilege to officate at their wedding, and to share in their absolute joy. Congratulations to a wonderful couple, Shannon & Brian!

On March 29, 2010 Keith and Marla exchanged vows on the meditation labyrinth at Lookout Point Lakeside Inn. With calm Lake Hamilton and the Ouachita Mountains as a backdrop, this happy couple began their married life. 
It was a joy to officiate at their wedding!
Best wishes to Marla and Keith–two of the kindest and happiest people. Thanks for gracing Lookout Point with your presence.
