Large unique home in the beautiful Ozark Mountains on the Kings River.

Choyia’s Place on Kings River

This unique passive solar home was built by retired Air Force Lt. Colonel A.J. Smith and his wife Choyia in the early 90’s. They loved the area and wanted to share its beauty with their friends and visitors. We want to do the same. This 7000 sq.ft. home sits on the banks of the Kings River. It is great for canoeing, kayaking and fishing. The home has a very large kitchen and the dining area can seat 25 for meals. There are 5 bedrooms in the home, three have king beds and private baths. There is a bunk room that sleeps 6. The house sleeps 16 comfortably. There are 2 bar areas, a game room with pool table, game table and cozy seating area around fireplace. There is an exercise room with equipment and 6 person hot tub. A nice sun room is attached for morning coffee and a great place to read. There is a solarium with plants to bring the outside in. Choyia’s place is 25 minutes from historic Eureka Springs. 20 minutes from the beautiful Dogwood Canyon and around 45 minutes from Branson Mo. and Silver Dollar City. If you want to float the river we can refer you to a local Canoe rental service. If you would like, we can provideva grocery pickup for you so you will have everything you need when you arrive. We want you to relax and have a wonderful time and come back again and again.

Fantastic Stay with an unexpected bit of history!

Our stay was great. The area is amazing amd Debbie was super helpful! We accidentally locked ourselves out and she was able to come and rescue us! This location is quiet and disconnected which was just what we needed!

Beautiful Area and Amazing Host

We had so much fun staying here! We loved how secluded it was but close enough to run into town if we forgot something. I loved that we could just walk down to the river and the water was crystal clear. The views from the deck were spectacular. Would definitely recommend for a getaway.

A little slice of heaven

My husband and I with our 3 kids and their spouses along with 7 grands booked for a long weekend. Suffice to say it wasn’t long enough!!The house is amazing and Debbie was Johnny on the spot with her responses. We lived the fact that it was nestled back in the woods right on the river. Debbie has thought of everything you might need for your stay and supplied it abundantly. To say she has gone above and beyond to make your stay awesome is an understatement. We will definitely be staying here again.

Family get together

This was the best appointed VRBO that we have stayed at in years. There was plenty of room for people to spread out, but also big enough kitchen/ dining/ living area to accommodate all of us in one general area. We had a great time, the views were great and I would love to return in warmer weather to see the river. weather

Weekend getaway

This property exceeded our expectations. Plenty of space and you can’t beat the location. The river was too low to float which was our plan but we caught plenty of fish just down from the house. Can’t recommend enough. Thanks for the great weekend.

Wonderful house for our family trip. My husband and I and our adult children and their significant others gathered to spend time together. This was a great place that gave each of us our own space as well as space to all gather together. It worked beautifully for all of us.

Family holiday vacay

The house was just as described. You will never find a more well stocked vacation home. Things we brought were already there so we just shared and left some things that we had brought. The owner answered all questions in an extremely fast response. If there was one negative it would be how rural the home was to attractions that we planned daily. That however was to no fault of the owner. We truly enjoyed the home and it was very accommodating for 14 adults and 2 children.

Great Team Retreat Getaway

Perfect for small team retreat! Lots of room, beds, and sitting areas. Interesting history and items in the house. Great areas to walk and enjoy the beautiful outdoors and river. The balcony river views are great! Love that everything is labeled and taken care of! Of course the hot tub and game room are perfect for evening leisure time. I highly recommend this place for small teams or top executives to get away to for clear thinking and rejuvenation! Thank you Debbie for being a great host; very helpful and communicative!

Great find!

The house is very spacious with lots of room to visit with others or enjoy some alone time in one of several of the tucked-away alcoves. The kitchen is amply stocked with plenty of silverware and cooking gear. The Kings River is within a few steps of the back yard, but no fish were caught...:( The only drawback was the slow internet connection; it was slower than dial-up and couldn't accommodate all of the iPads, iPhones, and TV's in use. There are other service providers, such as StarLink, that should be able to improve the performance. All in all, it was a very enjoyable stay, and we all would highly recommend Choyia's Place to others.

Kings River Float Trip

We stayed at Choyia’s place last summer for our Friend’s River Vacation and loved it so much! We met some awesome locals who told us about the public river access points around the area and that we should bring our kayaks/canoes and float on our own! We knew we had to come back and do just that. So we DID and it was wonderful! Below Choyia’s place is a public access point (walking distance) and we were able to float two days; Grandview bridge to Choyia’s Place (7.3 miles) and then Choyia’s place to the Romp Hole (4.9 miles)! It was a blast!! Choyia’s place is nestled in the perfect place for those ‘said’ river adventures! The house is always amazing and spacious with tons of activities inside! Deborah is also a lovely hostess with the mostest with snacks and drinks upon arrival and superb communication! We always feel right at home, safe, and relaxed!! Choyia’s Place is where it’s at!
