About this stay
Welcome to Canary Cottage! This unique property is located on the grounds of Sam's Pizza Pub, a favorite among locals and tourists alike since 1980. Guests can enjoy swimming or fishing from the dock on the lake.
Canary Cottage is situated on the waterfront and has been completely remodeled with an open living and kitchen, luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, granite countertops, new appliances, and a well-stocked kitchen. The bedroom has an en suite with a custom tile shower.
During your stay, your host is here to assist, but the level of interaction depends on your preferences. We understand that you value your privacy, and we want to make sure you have a 5-star stay. If you need any assistance, we are only a phone call or message away. You'll be able to self-check-in upon arrival.
The property has a rich history dating back to the 1930s. It was the first commercial property on Lake Hamilton that offered boat rentals and fishing docks. In 1981, the Montgomery family purchased the property and opened Sam's Pizza Pub. It is accessible by car or boat and has been a local favorite for lakeside dining ever since.
Burchwood Bay Road is a peaceful and historic lake community. It connects Central Avenue to Lakeshore Drive, making it easy to access all the attractions in Hot Springs.
You'll love the back deck overlooking Lake Hamilton — a great spot for morning coffee or afternoon cocktails. Watch the boats, go fishing, or head over to the pub for live music and some of the best food in town.
This property is close to everything Hot Springs has to offer, including hiking and biking, Historic Bathhouse Row, Garvan Woodland Gardens, and more.
