Ozark Mountain Lakehouse • Scenic Lake Views • Trails & Private Dock

Lakefront comfort meets Ozark adventure at this spacious Lake Avalon retreat with private dock and trail access. Relax and recharge at Ozark Mountain Lakehouse, a 3,900-sq-ft lakefront retreat on Lake Avalon in Bella Vista. Enjoy peaceful water views, two spacious decks, and a private dock for fishing, kayaking, and swimming. Step onto the nearby Little Sugar Trail for world-class mountain biking and hiking, and watch for the new OZ Bike Lift Park opening soon. With multiple living areas, fireplaces, and full access to Bella Vista’s golf, pools, and recreation, this is your perfect Ozark getaway.

The main level features a cozy living room with fireplace, full kitchen, dining for six, and two bedrooms, each with a private bath. Step onto the upper deck for dining or morning coffee overlooking the lake.

The lower level includes a second living room with fireplace, two bedrooms connected by a shared entryway, a full bath, and an additional queen bed in a common area. Entertainment options abound with ping-pong, Xbox, and three TVs offering cable, Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+.

Out back, take the long, steep wooden steps down to your private dock for fishing, kayaking, or swimming—kayaks and gear are provided. Guests can also enjoy the Beach at Lake Avalon just minutes away, plus access to six golf courses, fitness and tennis centers, pools, and excellent dining throughout Bella Vista.

Adventure is right outside your door with the Little Sugar Trail system, offering 50+ miles of premier mountain-bike and hiking trails. And coming soon, Bella Vista will debut the OZ Mountain Bike Lift Park, chairlift-served biking destination featuring miles of gravity trails—placing this home in the heart of America’s great cycling hub.

Cultural highlights like Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, The Momentary, and downtown Bentonville are just a short drive away.

Perfect base for nature in proximity to amenities!

We enjoyed our stay so much. In fact, we tried to extend but unfortunately the property was already booked. The property manager did all in her power to ensure we had a good stay. Even provided us with foldable chairs for a concert we decided to go to in nearby Bentonville. The walk down to the lake is steep, but for our group it was no issue. The lake is small/medium in size but close to other larger lakes. So we swam and did paddelboarding and kayaking there and then rented a boat for a day on Beaver Lake. Lots of amenities as part of the HOA, including awesome tennis facility, yoga on the beach, and a ton more. It is a quiet laid back community. Great for relaxing but plenty to offer within 15 minutes driving.

Wonderful home!

Wonderful property located on scenic lake. Extremely accommodating for the 3 couples. Close to most attractions in the NWA area and yet remote enough to enjoy all the Ozark have to offer - hiking, biking, etc. Great communication from the owner. Highly recommended.

Spring break stay

The host was extremely prompt in her communications with us. She answered all questions in a timely manner. The location was great. The neighborhood was great for taking walks. Easy walk/hike to the Avalon beach and kids liked the park there. The play house is in rough shape and not as photographed. The bedding wasn’t in the best shape. All said the house served its purpose and we had a great trip. Probably could have been more thoroughly cleaned.

Great Layout

The layout of the house was great. Everything about the home was amazing. If you’re going to spend time at the lake, realize the stairs to the water are extremely steep. We used the guest passes for the beach because our young kids couldn’t safely make the trip up and down the steps.

Gorgeous lake house

A wonderful house for a short vacation in Bentonville! 20 minutes from the Square, quick access to wonderful, biking trails, and a great gorgeous lake! The only thing I would bring up is that it is a lot of stairs to get down to the lake, so if you have old knees, it’s a little bit of an effort. We will be back!

Beautiful relaxing lake home

Picked up son at U of Ark for a long weekend. Really happy with house. Nice elevated house above the lake. Plenty of room for a big family, even though only 2 of us. Good for our dog with screened in porch area for him to chill. 5 golf courses within 10 minutes. Eureka Springs only an hour away. I hope to return soon.

Beautiful house, spacious and charming

I brought my dog to Bella Vista just to get a change of pace and pretty scenery. Didn't take long to discover Tanyard Creek for a lovely nature walk. I usually stay in Eureka and it's about an hour to get there, but I like this convenient location to explore Bentonville. I also liked having occupied houses nearby in a nice neighborhood - felt very safe. I look forward to coming back mid-year to spend more time on the deck and the dock. Thank you! Kara Kansas City

Beautiful house, beautiful location

We very much enjoyed our stay in Bella Vista. The house is the perfect size for a multi-generational get-together with plenty of space for everyone. The views are stunning. Kids loved the ping-pong table and firepit. Those traveling with older adults or young children should be aware that it is 140 steep (!!) steps down to the dock (not for the faint of heart). Our solution was to rent a pontoon and tie it up to the dock so the grandparents could also enjoy the water. There were some minor maintenance and upkeep issues (Old showerhead in the downstairs bathroom, some broken dock furniture and kayak, etc.) that didn't stop us from having a great vacation.

Great place for a girls getaway

The house was nice for our 4 night getaway. The layout of the house provided several indoor areas for relaxation. The kitchen was spacious and easy to cook together. The beds were comfortable and had nice linens. There was good water pressure in the showers We were there in October, so we did not spend time on the lake. The wooden stairs to the lake were very steep and the condition was not the best. The dock was larger, but also very basic. The lake was very quiet and pretty. The screened in porch was long and narrow and could use a good cleaning and maintenance. The two bedrooms in the finished basement were connected and there is no door between them for any privacy. We enjoyed the space but it could use a bit of cleaning and updating.

Great location, in need of repair

Positives: Overall accurate as to location and amenities described, bedding and bathrooms very clean. Negatives: The home is in disrepair and photos do not accurately portray the inconvenience of lake access. This place is neglected, torn screens on the patio, broken door, unusable grill, dock fridge does not work, kitchen fridge barely keeps food cool and the ice maker does not work. The stairs down to the dock are overgrown and the kayaks are not watertight. We ended up buying an outdoor charcoal grill to cook outside. Overall an enjoyable stay tarnished by disrepair and lack of TLC to what was once a beautiful home.

Here for weekend family vaca. It was very hot outside and upstairs AC had a hard time keeping up-likely due to 3 sliding glass doors that had no curtains/blinds (one in master bedroom!). Very clean, lots of space, host responded quickly to need for dishwashing soap. The walk down to the lake was very steep-something like 90 stairs down to dock so we didn’t spend much time down there. Did use kayaks on lake to go to the swim beach which was very close to the dock. Loved being able to use 2-car garage with remotes. If you’ve got more than 7 people, bring some plastic ware-not enough silverware for all of us! We would stay again but maybe when it’s cooler so we could take more advantage of hiking and biking in the area.

Family reunion lake trip

Great house, lots of space but the lake access is a challenge. The house is nice with great views and plenty of space. The basement bedrooms are actually one room with beds on two different walls with a divider in between. Not a huge deal but not what we expected. The lake access is some work though, 76 steps down to the dock, and they are steep, not including the walk down from the house to the wood steps. Unfortunately the grandparents could not do that many steps but we had another house too so it was fine. Just be ready for the hike as there are no pictures from the dock looking up to the house. Bathrooms, kitchen and outdoor space was great. Family really enjoyed the lake and the hosts were responsive and helpful.

Home away from home, on a lake!

This was a wonderful home away from home, on a lake up in the trees! Great huge screen porch, and really. Quite a steep walk to lake dock, but worth it. We would recommend, and would stay here again, and likely will!

Perfect amount of space

There were nine of us who stayed at this property. It had so much space for the teens to hang downstairs, the baby to sleep in the laundry room where it was quiet and adult bedrooms. The only negative for us was through no fault of the owner. There are 144 steep steps to the dock which was a significant task for most of the adults. The steps were extremely slick after a light rain making it too treacherous. We went to the POA beach and had to pay $5 a person even tho we had the activity pass which just allowed us to enter the beach. Note: we travelled with a family member in a wheelchair. We brought our own 8 ft ramp and used the garage entrance to get them inside. The open floor plan and the spacious master bedroom was perfect for our adaptive needs!

Listing Photo is Not Accurate

The location, size and floor plan worked great; however, the condition and furnishing are not as depicted in the online listing. Very few of the furnishings shown in the listing are currently in the house up to and including missing sliding glass door curtains in the master bedroom, meaning no privacy. Patio spaces have screens falling, rotten framing, old ripped cushions, etc. Given the $500+ cost per night, we were expecting, a much higher end home.
