Had such a lovely, quiet vacation here. The cabin we stayed in was very clean and comfortable, with a fully stocked kitchen and spacious bathroom. The staff here are so kind and helpful. I can’t wait to come back in the future. Highly recommend!

We were looking for a cute quiet cabin and that's exactly what we found. It definitely felt like home away from home!! We were up there from East Texas (3 1/2 hour drive) to celebrate my 50th birthday and can't wait to come and stay again. 100% happy with Echo Canyon Resort💚

We spent a quiet relaxing week at the resort and LOVED every minute of it! LaDonna welcomed us with open arms. Office staff, Mary, Amanda, and Robbie were very friendly and helpful with any questions that we had, like best local grocery stores, and directions to local gems to see.
Our cabin was a very pleasant surprise. The bed was very comfortable, and they had nice blinds up to block the sun so we could sleep in, if we so chose. The kitchen well-stocked with everything we could need, and it was all very organized so that we didn't have to scrounge around looking for anything! Toni was our assigned housekeeper and she was there within MINUTES if ever we asked the office for something extra!
We so enjoyed sitting on the deck and looking down into the marina, listening to the sounds of the fish jumping, watching the deer, and listening to the bird songs...we even got to see a Golden Eagle!!
We rented a pontoon boat for a day on the lake. Landon was the nicest guy....explained everything so well to us. He even came out to rescue us when we got turned around on the lake!! We were late getting the boat back, but they didn't charge us anything extra for the longer time with the boat, or for his overtime!!
We would highly recommend their resort to anyone who wants a peaceful getaway with a beautiful setting, and very friendly people to hang out with! Thank you to all of the staff that made our vacation to enjoyable!!

In September we rented a boat slip! Yaaaaaaay! Love it more than my luggage! In October we rented a storage unit for our camper and boat! Double Yaaaaaaay! Love love! In November we stayed in an RV spot! Yaaaaaaay! And now silly deer-hunting husband is holding me back from the lake and it's 75 degrees! I miss beautiful Echo Canyon every day I'm not there.

What a treat! We were originally scheduled to tent camp nearby, but the weather didn't cooperate. Instead, we were lucky to secure a charming, reasonably-priced cabin and couldn't have been more impressed. The staff was so polite and welcoming--over the phone and in person!. The cabin was clean, well-equipped and decorated as though it were a family cabin....very homey! We took advantage of the fire pit after the staff helped secure some firewood for us. If you want something with easy access to both Hot Springs National Park and Lake Ouachita State Park, this is it. Highly recommend!

We had such a lovely stay here! We rented a cabin that overlooked the marina. The cabins are well equipped, have comfy beds and a full kitchen. Our cabin was clean, and comfy, and the small touches made it very homey and cozy! The staff is great, very welcoming and friendly. We were able to bring our dog, and she loved hanging out on the cabin deck.
The location is great, right on Lake Ouachita and not too far from Hot Springs as well as Mt Ida, crystal capital where you can visit crystal digging sites, or go on a hike in the Ouachita mountains. We will definitely stay here again!

Have stayed there twice and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Sweet people and nice cabins. Clean and linen service available. Have rented Knothole & Cyclepath. Cyclepath didn’t have fireplace but we hadn’t used the one in Knothole anyway so having a bit more space was nice. One reviewer mentioned table having sticky varnish, we had that experience in Cyclepath but not in Knothole. We carry a folding table with us for jigsaw puzzles so just used that. Have always been there for hiking local trails but hope to use the Marina sometime.

Very nice cabin in a quiet beautiful place. I did take a foam mattress pad as suggested by a review and it made the bed comfortable. The table is somewhat uncomfortable due to the varnish being sticky.

We ate at the restaurant. Food and service were great. We didn't rent a room.
