About this property

Double Down: Spacious Lakefront Retreat with Stunning Views & Hot Tub

Can't decide if today is more of a pool day or a lake day? Why not both? Double Down on your chances for having FUN at Lake Avalon's finest vacation rental complete with both a private dock for kayaking and swimming and your own private swimming pool (open May - mid-October) and hot tub (available year round)!

This home comfortably sleeps 12 in beds and 2 more on an air mattress. Spend time together in one of our two living rooms watching movies, playing pool, or playing cards or retreat to one of our decks where you can take in Lake Avalon's most beautiful views!

Located in beautiful Bella Vista, you are a 3 minute drive to Tanyard Creek to hike to our most beautiful waterfall. Grab your golf clubs and head out to one of Bella Vista's 5 golf courses or grab a bucket of balls at Tanyard Creek's driving range.

Mountain Bikers...you'll be thrilled to know that you are a 4 minute bike ride to the trail access for Little Sugar's Tunnel Vision - some of the BEST of the OZ Trail System. When you're not riding, store your bikes in the garage. One bay is reserved for our guests during their stay.

Just 15 minutes from downtown Bentonville, you will never be at a loss of what to do during your stay with us at Double Down.

**PET FEE**
A pet fee of $25/night/pet up to 2 dogs (NO CATS or other animals please) will be charged.

**POOL DISCLAIMER**
We do our best to make sure the pool is available at all times during the season; however there are times due to things out if our control such as weather and mechanical issues that the pool may need to be shocked or treated and may need to close for up to 24hours.

Wonderful Vacation Home

This is a great place to stay with lots of room for the kids to play. The house is fully stocked with all essential needs. We cooked a wonderful Thanksgiving meal with just about everything available. We loved the fact that our dog could enjoy Thanksgiving with us instead of in a kennel. We highly recommend this beautiful home.

Wedding weekend

Perfect layout for my son’s twin girls whom are four. We have his family on kitchen main floor w the two bathrooms one has tub while our other two families had the other two king bedrooms with one bathroom. Both floors have couch w tv and both have views of lake. With three bathrooms available it was perfect. Hot tub was a bit stinky but other than that it was a great stay. We talked about coming back in the summertime cus I guess we brought the rain from Oklahoma.! Lots of steep steps down to Lake so not great for elderly or if you forget something. Beautiful place.

Fantastic Stay!

What a great place to get away and explore NW Arkansas. The pool was great, the lake was amazing, and the property is less than .5 miles from a trail system! The property was wonderful and the hosts have thought of everything! The Bluetooth speaker was a lifesaver because we forgot ours at home. Not to mention having plenty of kayaks, a paddle board, and even a lilly pad to make sure the lake was even more fun than the pool!

The lake is very calm and great for swimming, paddling and floating. We enjoyed having a pool too! It was very hot while we were there so glad the house has really good air conditioning! There was plenty of room for our group of 12. The beds were all comfortable. Lots of dishes and beach towels. We had an awesome stay! And Maria is a really great host!

Why they chose this property

When you see the view, you'll have no doubt in your mind why we purchased this home. We have lived in Northwest Arkansas since 2007 and the lakes in Bella Vista are some of the BEST! With its proximity to some of the BEST mountain biking trails NWA has to offer and to Bentonville's Square, there is no better place to stay than here at Double Down.

What makes this property unique

When you stay at Double Down you not only get to enjoy the benefit of having a private swimming pool (available May - the end of September) and lake access, you also get the benefit of having us as your hosts. We have lived in Northwest Arkansas since 2006 and are avid mountain bikers, marathoners, triathletes, foodies, and most importantly, parents. We are happy to help customize your trip and give you suggestions to make your trip to Northwest Arkansas the most memorable and fun ever.
