About this property

Private Lake Avalon Basement Apartment – Dock, Fire Pit & Views

The Green Door on Lake Avalon is a private walk-out basement apartment with beautiful lake views from every window. You’ll have the entire space to yourself, with a private, secure entrance and a peaceful deck area perfect for enjoying the outdoors.

If navigating slopes and multiple steps is difficult, this space may not be the best fit.

Sunsets here are something special — whether you're watching from inside or relaxing on the chair swing, the view and sounds of nature are unforgettable.

Inside, you’ll find a clawfoot tub for a vintage-style soak — perfect for unwinding with a glass of wine.
The kitchenette, cleverly tucked into a cabinet, includes a microwave, Keurig coffee maker, toaster oven/air fryer, and a plug-in induction cooktop with a pan provided. A small fridge, dishwasher, and basic dishware are also available.

The apartment has one bedroom and a convertible couch in the living area, allowing space for up to four guests. A washer and dryer are provided for your convenience.

Please note: the home’s upper level is occupied by your host, but the spaces are securely separated. You may occasionally hear footsteps, but I aim to keep things quiet and respectful of your privacy.

The driveway is steep, and guests will walk down a lit pathway with steps to reach the wrap-around deck and private entrance.

If you’d like lake access, I’ll be happy to request guest passes on your behalf. This is a private POA lake, and passes must be arranged in advance using each guest’s first and last name and email address. A small lake use fee (currently $6/day) is required and can be paid at The Beach, just a 5-minute drive away.

Awesome Retreat Spot

I was just returning from a long challenging trip and needed a quiet spot to refresh. Every detail of the house was well thought out for comfort, beauty and relaxation. Michelle is an excellent hostess. We brought food to the house and ate there. Grocery and restaurant close by.

TRULY WONDERFUL RELAXING PLACE

We loved every detail of this lake house, obviously the location but it’s so much more than that! The best bed and linens, the charm of the bath tub with the bath salts and bath bomb. I loved every bit of our stay!

About the host

Hosted by Michelle

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Michelle! I’ve been an entrepreneur from the start and am a licensed esthetician who loves helping people relax — especially through facials.

Years ago, I had the joy of performing at Disneyland. That experience taught me the art of hospitality and the magic of creating memorable moments — something I now bring to hosting on Lake Avalon.

I adore gardening, designing cozy spaces, and crafting outdoor areas that feel peaceful and a little whimsical (you may even spot a fairy or gnome or two). When the weather’s right, I often offer evening pontoon rides, my favorite way to enjoy the lake and connect with guests.

Hosting is my happy place, and I look forward to sharing this beautiful corner of Bella Vista with you.

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood is quiet, wooded, and wonderfully private — the house sits below street level, offering a peaceful and tucked-away feel. Just a few steps take you down to the dock for quiet mornings, evening views, or a little fun on the water.

We also have a pontoon boat, and when the weather allows, we love taking guests out for a relaxing ride on Lake Avalon.

For adventure and exploration, there are scenic trails just up the road, and The Beach at Lake Avalon is only a 5-minute drive away. You’re also close to some of the region’s best attractions, including Crystal Bridges Museum, world-class golf courses, and the stunning Mildred B. Cooper Memorial Chapel.

What makes this property unique

This property offers more than just a place to stay — it’s a peaceful retreat with a touch of lakeside magic.

Just steps from the suite, you’ll find the dock where you can dip your toes in, launch a kayak, or simply sit and soak up the serenity. When the weather is nice, we’re happy to take guests out on our pontoon boat for a relaxing ride around Lake Avalon.

Tucked into the landscape, you'll discover a waterfall that adds the perfect soundtrack to peaceful mornings or evening wine on the dock.

And keep your eyes open — down by the lake, you might spot Penelope, our resident mermaid. Officially known as Princess Penelope Purfleet of Lake Avalon, she brings a bit of whimsy and charm to your stay. Kids and adults alike love finding her tucked near the water, keeping watch over the cove.
