Sandy is an amazing host. The studio was very clean and comfortable. Sandy has kayaks and paddle boards available to use. Great location, close to trails to bike or walk. I would stay here again.
Even though the weather fought our every move this stay was absolutely perfect. We are very active and the access to the lake and trails, with the sauna for recovery….. WE WILL BE BACK! The host was so very kind, and quick responses to every inquiry.
Host was great and understanding with bad weather and let me park up on the street b/c of bad weather coming in overnight. She let me check out late and the place was a perfect little hideaway next to a beautiful little lake.
We are going to move to Bella Vista in part because we felt so at home when we stayed at this VRBO the first time. The trees and birds are a delight. It has everything we needed for our stay.Sandy the host is wonderful.We will be returning again soon.
This was one of the best rentals we have came across. The space was clean and inviting, the bed was comfy and had some of the softest sheets I have ever experienced. The property is beautiful.
The peaceful setting was exactly what we needed for a relaxing getaway. The house was spotless and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We especially loved spending time by the lake, taking in the serene views. The available kayaks and paddleboards were an awesome bonus
Beautiful location with lake view from private balcony deck - and a short walk to the dock! Studio apartment but so thoughtfully furnished and decorated it feels bigger and has everything you need (….and have to mention the skylights to see the stars!)! Bike trails are close, and it’s an easy drive on over to Bentonville to hit additional trails. Super clean and nice. All that alone would merit 5 stars across the board, but wonderful experience with host communication and recommendations pushes it beyond the 5 star and easily among the best places I’ve stayed. We will be back!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Sandy was a great host and check in and communication were flawless. She includes great amenities in the kitchenette and bathroom! We definitely recommend this home in beautiful Bella Vista. Thank you Sandy!
Had a great week long getaway at this cabin, its close enough to the trails, Pea Ridge, Bentonville, and Rodgers there is so much more than I ever expected! Not to mention the lake was fantastic!
What a great place in the NW corner of AR. We were near great Antique stores, shopping, trails, and dining.
We plan to come back and stay at the wonderful location.
Had the perfect time staying here with my girlfriend and dog. Sandy (owner) offered top notch service and hospitality along the way including treats for Wilson (dog). We’d love to stay here again!
Sandy and Ted were great and welcoming guests! The property was perfect for my lil staycation and I was thrilled I was able to bring my dog with me. I would recommend this property!
My boyfriend and I along with my dog stayed here recently and were blown away. The hospitality was fantastic and the apartment way super clean, even better than the pictures. We had tons of fun kayaking, hiking and walking around the lake and we can’t wait to return!
This is truly a little gem of a getaway! Cutewith a great view from deck. I rise early (2:30), and sitting on deck looking at stars, no neighbors to see or hear—it was heaven. Lots of outlets to plug in devices. Kitchen well supplied with good sized fridge. Sandy is an incredible host who made it seem like we were staying with a good friend. This was by far among the best vacation rentals ever for us. Thank you Sandy for a wonderful vacation. Ann & Johnett
We enjoyed our stay so much. The property is clean and nice - and the hosts were awesome. They had great recommendations for us for riding trails and fireworks (4th of July) So much fun to swim in the lake off of the dock in calm, clear water. We recommend this place - 5 stars all around.

Why they chose this property
In God’s Country on the Back 40 trail system and close to paved trails. I wanted to create a clean air environment for travelers who are sensitive to toxins and mold. I too, have the dreaded gene and am sensitive to most micro toxins in the environment. I’m always concerned about the air environment where I stay and I wanted to take that concern out of others for my place.
What makes this property unique
Clean air environment Lake access Sauna available (extra fee) Close to trail systems
