Lakefront AND on the MTB trails!

The Hidden Gem of NWA is a newly remodeled 3 bedroom 3 bath home in the heart of Bella Vista. The home features many one of a kind custom touches. 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths on the main floor - each have private balconies overlooking Lake Avalon. Enjoy coffee or happy hour in the serene screened-in porch. The amazing Tanyard Creek Nature Trail is < .5 mile hike away. Or hit the Little Sugar MTB/hike trails right from your doorstep! Impeccable location; < 15 min. to downtown Bentonville.

Our home offers a beautiful lake Avalon view. Enjoy morning coffee on the screened in porch overlooking the lake or walk down to the private dock and relax in the Adirondack chairs. If you’d like to get out on the water, the kayak or paddle board are available to take you over to the other side of the lake where the beach access is!

Remodeled walk-out basement overlooks the lake and features living room, bar area, full bath, and bedroom.

-Pack n Play, high chair, kid's toys/books, and baby gate available.
-Safe bike storage available
-Game table, with multiple board games downstairs
-2 TV's brand new in 2021

Guests have access to the entire house including the private dock.

Trail access ~100 yards right from the front door!!

Note: The driveway is steep! Especially if you’re not familiar with the Northwest Arkansas region you will find it quite steep (it’s normal for the area). Your vehicle is more capable than you think :) No one has ever had trouble getting up or down it. However, in the Winter months, if we have rare ice, we do advise parking “up top” and carefully walking down the driveway.

Other things to note
Bella Vista lakes, pools, the beach at Lake Avalon, and recreational facilities are all private for members and guests of members. Want to use these facilities? Let us know 48 hrs before your stay so we can properly get you guest passes.

Lake house

We had a great weekend! The property was perfect for young kids. The kids loved jumping off the dock and it was an easy walk back to the house for naptime. The house was well-stocked with everything we needed, including kids’ toys. We will definitely be back!

Special place

Absolutely no complaints. Beautiful home, very clean and the owners have thought of every detail. Wonderful location. The house was perfect for two families. The kids enjoyed the downstairs space. And in the heat of the summer the house was a cool and comfortable home base for 5 days. We plan to stay here again! The owner was awesome!

Great Property/Location!

We had a great stay at this property. The house is lovely, clean, and the number of bedrooms was great for our family. With two small children, having a third bedroom in case the kids weren't getting along at bed/nap time was a great contingency. Bella Vista in general is very convenient with a number of trails/lakes/streams, playgrounds, attractions, and varied restaurants/grocery stores within convenient driving distance. Tanyard Creek in particular was fantastic! The proximity to Bentonville also provided some great options for activities. The hosts were responsive and helpfully facilitated Guest Passes for us for the Bella Vista Property Owners Association amenities. The closet of children's toys/games and selection of water toys/flotation devices was also appreciated. The lake access and private dock/platform on the water was wonderful.

Quiet Lake getaway!

This lake is was great for our families needs. We like a more quiet vacay and this was wonderful for that. There is a noise restriction in place and while you have neighbors they aren't at arms reach. The house set up was perfect for us and our three kids. The outdoor furniture could be updated to be a bit more comfortable. the screened in porch area is a great idea but was filled with spiders/webs in every nook and corner. The access to hiking trails was amazing and I ran trails almost every morning. I loved their recommendations book and did check out several suggestions. I also appreciated that they have basic spices and even some sugar/flour/oils to avoid over purchasing those. I would definitely come again just maybe suggest giving a good cleaning to the screened porch.

Loved This Lake House

We loved our stay on the lake in this beautiful house. Plenty of room for our family of five. We enjoyed spending time on/around the lake and hiking in the area. We were also able to be in downtown Bentonville in 20 minutes when we wanted to go out on the town. Everything was great, and next time we stay in the area this property will definitely be on our list.

Quiet, lake front home with great master bedroom and fully stocked kitchen

We had a great time kayaking (we brought our own 2 person inflatable. One on the property is a 1 person kayak), sitting on the dock fishing and enjoying our meals. Bugs weren't bad for us. Plenty of small bass but didn't bite very much (Most other fisherman were getting skunked as well! haha). Couple spectacular sunsets. Master BR and bath were awesome (didn't use any of the other rooms as it was my wife and I only). Kitchen is really stocked with spices and bags/foil/saran wrap which you don't see at some other places. Other furniture in the LR, kitchen, outside patio could be updated but functioned just fine. Really needs a true BBQ, that would help as well as the "flat grill" grills a bit differently. Overall a nice place for 5-6 days of kayaking the 6 different lakes and hiking the beautiful walk areas.

Dreamy family lake stay

Cozy and refreshing, plenty of room to play, challenging but beautiful backyard for Flatlanders :). We learned how to paddle board and kayak and made friends with a family of foxes. The herons croaked at us in the evening and the birds sang us awake every morning. Everything was clean, comfortable and the space is divided perfectly for kids and adults. Great place to stay! Note, it is walkable to trails but you will have to bush which means bring chigger friendly pants and gear. The lake is the perfect size to kayak around and there are no motorboats. Just a dream!
