About this property

Arkansas Lakeside Stay-cation! Relax,Bike,Golf,Kayak,Swim or Chat by the Fire!

Relax with an incredible Lake Avalon view here in Northwest Arkansas with so much to do including Crystal Bridges, ice skating, beautiful light displays in multiple nearby cities, plays and performances, riding or hiking the multi-use trails and enjoying a plethora of restaurant options. Great place for a large group of bikers, golfers, museum goers, families, etc. Beautiful Lake Avalon can be seen from the living room on both levels, both of which have a fireplace and a kitchen. The whole house has been updated with new floors, new paint and an expanded kitchen. Enjoy easy stone step access to the water's edge just 20 yards from the covered back porch. The screened balcony has 180 degree lake views. Amenities include an 8' x 24' floating swimming and fishing dock, gas and charcoal grills, porch furniture for lounging, fire pit with seating and 2 kayaks to paddle down the no wake lake to the park with a sandy beach, horseshoe pits, volley ball, and more. Perfect for small family reunions, getaways, shopping weekends, golf outings, tennis tournaments and biking/hiking adventures. Whether you are coming for an International Mountain Bike Convention, a visit to Crystal Bridges, or day trips in the Ozark Mountain area, this place will be new favorite your home away from home.

Located just 1 hr 30 min from Branson, 45 minutes from Eureka Springs, 35 minutes from Fayetteville and 15 minutes from Bentonville, it is the perfect retreat for Razorback games, Craft Fairs (October and May) , Bikes Blues and BBQ Rallies (September), and Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art events . Silver Dollar City, Gentry Wild Wilderness Drive through Zoo, The Passion Play, and Ozark Mountain Hiking trails. These options and more make perfect day trips. Enjoy the wonderful local restaurants and pubs in downtown Bentonville and Rogers with shopping nearby at Pinnacle Mall and other local vendors.

In addition to the 4 bedrooms that include 2 queen beds, one king and one twin trundle and bunk beds, the upstairs living room has a single pull out bed in the ottoman which can be moved to the screened in porch on a nice night. The downstairs living room has a futon that lays back to accommodate 1 adult or 2 children, I have provide an extra mattress topper in the closet to make that more comfortable. In the downstairs kitchen, 3 waffle irons and electric skillet are available for a breakfast gathering . Kids can watch a movie in the trundle room while adults enjoy an outdoor fire and stargazing. A pack and play and a baby feeding seat is available. NOTE: The driveway is fairly steep but easy to get used to. In order to have a short walk to the lake you have to have a steeper driveway to negotiate. There are 2 parking spaces along the road for those less adventurous.

Family Lake Getaway

We really enjoyed staying at this property! It was well equipped for fun on the lake with kayaks, paddle boards and other water toys and life vests. We enjoyed the bonfire with provided wood, and the area was beautiful! The communication from the property owners was prompt, organized and efficient. Would highly recommend for large families or groups! Gorgeous views!

5-Star Stay at a Cozy Lakehouse Retreat!

Our stay at this beautiful lakehouse in Bella Vista was absolutely perfect! The home was clean, cozy, and decorated with such thoughtful, charming details—it felt like a true retreat from the moment we walked in. The multiple wood-burning fireplaces made for the perfect ambiance during the chilly weather, and we loved curling up by the fire after a day of exploring.Mornings were magical, with breathtaking sunrises over Lake Avalon enjoyed right from the dock. We spent time fishing off the dock, taking in the peaceful surroundings, and soaking up the beauty of the spring blossoms in the yard and surrounding trees. The nearby walking trails provided a great way to explore nature, and the location was ideal for visiting Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and taking a day trip to Eureka Springs.The house was also perfect for families, with plenty of kids’ games and activities to keep everyone entertained. It truly had everything we needed for a relaxing and fun-filled getaway. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and will definitely be back!Highly recommend this lakehouse to anyone looking for a peaceful, well-appointed retreat in Bella Vista! Thank you, Pam and Kevin!

Guys golf trip

Great lake place with everything you might need. All 4 of us adults had plenty of space of our own. We used the lakeside grill most nights and made breakfast in the main kitchen each morning. Nice hiking trails and golf courses near by. Loads of other amenities we didn’t get a chance to use. Would definitely book again next time we’re in the area or with the family.

Nice long weekend

We had a great time kayaking and paddle boarding on the lake as well as enjoying the innumerable trails and outdoor activities nearby. The house was cozy and inviting with tons of places to rest and relax. I would note that this is probably not a great place for small children (3 and under) due to the steep backyard

Peaceful Place by a Peaceful Lake

I did a weeks’ stay with family and kids. It’s a great location, and was the perfect lake spot to let kids swim and play. LOVED that the owners had lots of lake gear and that they let guests use it - paddle boards, kayaks, floaties, and lots of life jackets. There’s also a really nice pool table under a covered driveway all of us liked getting to use. Owner was responsive to texts and questions and was great to work with. We could have used a few more blankets to go with the sheets we used on the pull out beds, and it would be great if some of the lights on the upper screened in porch were replaced to give more light for the evenings. All in all, definitely recommend as a place to bring the family for a great week!

Girl's Weekend Stay

We had a girl's weekend for a relaxing getaway. Overall, it was a great place to stay with room for us all to have our own room and also enjoy the common areas and outdoors. Pros: - Good amount of space for everyone - Great views and access to the lake - A/C and ceiling fans worked great - Board games available - Two kitchens with easy access to the lake-view patios - Well-stocked kitchen with most everything needed to cook breakfast and one dinner that we made there - Good value for the location and number of rooms - Laundry access - Paddleboards and kayaks were free to use, which was great - Dock was easy to access with the stairs and was enjoyable to hang out on near the water - Easy access to hiking trails - Had a 10-cup coffee pot and a Keurig - Had general spices needed and non-stick cooking spray and other basics, which was great Cons - Overall the home and furnishings are dated (which is likely reflected by the price) - The patio furniture wasn't super comfortable, made wanting to sit out on the patio for extended periods less appealing. Plenty of seating, but none had significant cushion for relaxing for extended periods (we were there in fall, so it was nice to sit outside) - Feels like the outdoor space could have used some sprucing up; overgrown landscaping, etc. - Didn't have a baking dish to use (like a pyrex/cake pan style) but we ended up making do with a turkey roasting pan, so it worked. Great value with the location being right on the lake.

We stayed here for our daughter’s wedding at Mildred B Cooper Chapel. It was a perfect location. We were 10 minutes away from the Chapel. We loved that it was pet friendly, so we could take our Wheaten with us. The place was super clean & was very cozy. It was also well stocked with plentiful linens & a well stocked kitchen for your cooking needs.

Peaceful

We (2 adults and 4 teenagers) enjoyed our stay in Bella Vista. There was enough to do at the house that we didn’t feel the need to find other things to go do. The teens loved being on Lake Avalon with the kayaks and paddle boards that were provided. The boys enjoyed fishing and caught several fish. The girls enjoyed floating on the lake. Our last day, we went to the Tanyard hiking trail and had a great time exploring the “pig pen“ and playing in the water near the falls. The house has plenty of space. My husband and I loved the screened-in porch and quickly decided that was our favorite spot. We could keep our eyes on the kids while they were having fun on the lake, but we mostly enjoyed the view. One morning, while sitting on the porch, we saw an eagle flying above the water on the lake. We definitely recommend staying at this house on Lake Avalon.

We love hanging out with our family here at the lake. Perfect place to gather your family and friends. Here's hoping that you can enjoy some great times and relaxation in our lake house.

Why they chose this property

This house has the best lake access around. So close that you can sit on the back porch and supervise the swimmers. Downstairs kitchen is great for a day of snacking and swimming. Two fireplaces make it a nice place to hang out in winter also. Comfortable, simple, fun. Outdoor fire pit makes it like GLAMPING!

What makes this property unique

Really 2 separate spaces if you close off the bottom portion. Something for everyone if you stay in and so much to do if you go out!
