Jimmy and I had a wonderful time at Echo Canyon Resort and Marina a few weekends ago. We love to hike with our pup, Coco, and of course, did some fishing too. Herrold’s Hideaway was perfect! Highly recommend.

Very nice place, clean, friendly staff. Stayed 2 nights and will definitely stay again when in the area.

Visited for a vacation and had a relaxcation. To start, ability to park right next to cabin and having our own grill feet from the lake facing patio was phenomenal. There is small kitchen in cabin and air conditioner too, so you get the wildlife experience with luxury amenities. Not being in the Hilton was nice and could fall asleep from the crackle of the camp fire and wake up to the reflection on the lake. Outside dining options are a little far, but worked out good cause we cooked dinner at cabin and in return got more enjoyable time. It's about 30 scenic minutes of driving to bath house row driving. We also did some of the quartz crystal prospecting at nearby mines and caught the crystal fever😝🤒. The staff were super friendly and there demeanor was pleasant on arrival with a welcoming laugh. Now I need to get another trip on the books cause the question is not if I will go back but when I will go back. Thanks for the Rockstar vacation.🪨🤘💎

Our cabin was clean and had all the amenities you find at a hotel room. The owners are super nice to talk to.
My favorite thing about the resort is the view of the lake. Absolutely majestic!

The place was absolutely beautiful with stunning views of the lake and even the drive up through the mountains was amazing. We stayed in cabin #8 during the off season so a nights stay was only 100$ which was an amazing deal for what we got. They have everything you would need, pots, pans, baking sheets and even a lot of measuring equipment. Not to mention utensils, and pretty much every cooking tool you'd need. There was also a small grill out on the deck that had grill tools and looked out into the marina. For us we stayed here because we were visiting nearby Hot Springs and it was the perfect distance of about 20 minutes from the heart of the town. After our visit they even sent us a thank you letter for choosing their service. I was blown away, truly. When we come back to visit the local area again we absolutely know where we will be staying.

We stayed at Bear Necessities and it was beautifully decorated, well-accommodated and easy to find! The views from the back porch were stunning. The staff were friendly and welcoming and even took the time to mail a hand-written card after our stay. If we’re ever in the Hot Springs area again we’ll 100% be staying at Echo Canyon!

We stayed two or three times the past summer and we love it. I have my reservations booked for the upcoming summer. Staff is awesome. They treat you like family. RV spots are awesome.

Such a cute cabin! Vintage and homey, clean and comfortable. The complex was so quiet that it seemed like we were the only people there. The view was beautiful. Front desk staff were so friendly. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay.

Awesome place to get away and hike along with enjoying the lake. Clean cabins and very friendly helpful staff. Planning to be back and enjoy the fall colors!

Peaceful and quiet. Beautiful and cozy. Would go back. My partner and I went with our 2 children. We had so much fun. We cooked and walked the area. It’s so pretty there.

An amazing place. It was gorgeous, peaceful, and my kids had nothing but smiles the entire time. The fact of having a back porch, and a kitchen with everything needed made it feel like it was our little home. I am definitely coming back, and this time for a longer stay. One or two days simply wasn't long enough for me. Next time the kayaks will definitely be coming along with charcoal for BBQ.

We happened upon Echo Canyon by searching Cabin Rentals near Hot Springs. We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The individualy themed cabins are just the cutest. They're clean and neat and very welcoming. There was the sweetest little Valentine's surprise waiting for us, including strawberry cupcakes and homemade fortune cookies. We will definitely come back!
