Choyia’s Place on Kings River
This unique passive solar home was built by retired Air Force Lt. Colonel A.J. Smith and his wife Choyia in the early 90’s. They loved the area and wanted to share its beauty with their friends and visitors. We want to do the same. This 7000 sq.ft. home sits on the banks of the Kings River. It is great for canoeing, kayaking and fishing. The home has a very large kitchen and the dining area can seat 25 for meals. There are 5 bedrooms in the home, three have king beds and private baths. There is a bunk room that sleeps 6. The house sleeps 16 comfortably. There are 2 bar areas, a game room with pool table, game table and cozy seating area around fireplace. There is an exercise room with equipment and 6 person hot tub. A nice sun room is attached for morning coffee and a great place to read. There is a solarium with plants to bring the outside in. Choyia’s place is 25 minutes from historic Eureka Springs. 20 minutes from the beautiful Dogwood Canyon and around 45 minutes from Branson Mo. and Silver Dollar City. If you want to float the river we can refer you to a local Canoe rental service. If you would like, we can provideva grocery pickup for you so you will have everything you need when you arrive. We want you to relax and have a wonderful time and come back again and again.
