About this property

LAKE, TRAILS, & BEACH: Steps away from your doorstep! Hot Tub now open!

Location! Little Sugar Lakehouse puts you and your guests in the front row. Located in the center of the Little Sugar trail system, singletrack access for hiking/biking is less than a 30 second pedal from your bike garage. Lake Avalon is a quick jump off the dock from the level backyard. The only beach in Bella Vista/ Bentonville, Lake Avalon Beach Park, can be seen from your dock and is a short paddle, walk or swim. No need to worry about noisy motor boats when you're paddle-boarding or kayaking, since Lake Avalon is the largest "no wake" lake in Bella Vista. Or, enjoy a pristine view of the lake from the hot tub on the deck or one of the fire-pits.

The beach has beach volleyball, play area, shaded picnic areas, horseshoe pits, etc. Tanyard Creek Nature Center and golf courses are less than a 5-minute drive. Enjoy a natural and rural setting only minutes from Bella Vista town center and Bentonville's top attractions.

Explore the lake from an assorted array of water crafts, including kayaks & SUP boards. There are two kayaks especially for kids. Inside, enjoy a fully custom home with all the amenities needed for your group. The kitchen has blenders, air fryer, coffee makers galore, waffle maker, pancake griddle, etc. Stocked with spices, sugar, creamer, coffee, pods, and other miscellaneous items. Guests love the Peloton bike and tournament-level ping pong table. Beach towels are provided as well- just remember your sunscreen!

More outdoor fun includes:
-Multiple paddle boards & kayaks
-Floating lounge chair
-Cornhole
-Super soakers for water fights
-Outdoor soccer nets and ball
-Beach volleyball and horseshoes (provided for guests to bring to the beach).
-Security camera disclosure: There is one security camera on site, at the front door. This is not monitored regularly, but rather used if safety/security or guest access issues arise.

Beautiful home!

The house was comfortable and so well stocked with everything you could think of. Loved the grocery pick up. We had great family time cooking in the beautiful kitchen and using the kayaks and paddleboards everyday.

One of the best hosts we've ever had

The location is great, it's very quiet. The no wake lake is great if you just want to hang out and swim. And the hosts were phenomenal and super responsive and helpful. 100% recommend to anyone looking

Lovely lake home near Bentonville AR!

Well appointed lake home in the heart of the Bentonville trail system. The lake home was very accommodating for a family. Inside the house had everything we needed and it was very clean with comfortable beds. Outside everything was available for enjoying the lake. We got to use the spacious deck, hot tub, paddle boards, kayak and the dock was a great place to fish. Before our arrival we were able to place a grocery pick up and the caretaker picked up our order and put our groceries away for us! We highly recommend and will rent again!

You won’t want to leave!

We had a list of things to do, but ended up not wanting to leave! The grocery delivery was the best thing ever. We enjoyed every bit of this property. Just being able to relax and hang out with our friends, having everything we needed was perfect. We did check out the Bentonville Farmers Market, which was great. We will be back for sure!!! The best ever!

Fantastic Stay

This house is amazing. It was the backdrop where my husband and I said, "I Do" out on the dock. It was a small family gathering early on a Saturday morning accompanied by this beautiful lake, fish, landscape and home. It's all we dreamed of and more. Our hosts were amazing and we will definitely be back to celebrate our anniversaries here with our kids. They could not get enough of it. Awesome getaway.

Beautiful updated lake house

Our family of 5 loved our stay at the lake house! We kayaked, paddled, and swam in the lake, then relaxed on the gorgeous back deck! Our very favorite activity was hiking up the river to the falls at Tanyard creek. We loved the cave outside Noel, the gorgeous glass chapel, and the funky Bentonville downtown. We took a day trip to check out the University of Arkansas, enjoyed the food trucks and hiking!

The Best!

Cannot say enough about how wonderful our stay was! Right on the quiet lake with a beautiful flat grass yard leading to a dock. Great covered outdoor deck with fire table and plenty of seating! Amazing hot tub too! Inside was perfect with a gourmet kitchen, laundry room with Peloton, big couch and TV, and more! Giant dining room table, great bathrooms each with 2 sinks and comfortable beds for 7. There are so many nice touches that I can't even begin to list, but we had a ton of fun on the double kayak and paddleboards! Would definitely stay here again! Thank you!!

Amazing Experience in a Dream Home

This home has it all. From the minute we walked through the door we knew it was going to be a great experience. Any amenity that you could want or need was provided for us. We enjoyed swimming in the lake, cruising in the powered paddle boat, fishing off the dock, lounging in the hot tub, and bringing my family together through laughter and fun in the spacious great room and kitchen. Can’t wait to visit again!

Wonderful Property

The minute we walked through the door, we knew we had made a great decision in choosing this home. The owners thought of everything & it was so well done. From the amazing kitchen & great room to the very Zen feeling we got from looking out the back sliding glass doors to the patio & lake. We could have stayed longer & will definitely be back. Loved every minute of our time there.

This place is fabulous! The house was clean, clean, clean and had all of the water sport toys you would want. There were all in very good condition. Kitchen is well stocked with cooking supplies.

Really the perfect spot in a great area!

The place is everything the pictures show and more. Really something for everyone; the water toys were a big hit with everyone especially the kids. Fishing is nice. Mornings were quiet and cool on the back deck enjoying coffee and a book. The area has a lot to offer; we barely scratched the surface though because we just enjoyed our downtime so much at the house. We hope to be back soon. Thanks, The Schexnailder’s

Fabulous Lake House

Lovely Lakehouse on the shore of Lake Avalon in Bella Vista. The house sits on one of the best lots that surround this charming private lake. Craig & Colleen have thought of everything and were both very attentive hosts and quickly answered the few questions we had. The house is well equipped with water toys and everything you need to paddle board, kayak and lounge on the lake. The kitchen is very well furnished and had everything we needed to prepare our meals. The large deck was perfect for enjoying a morning cup of coffee looking out over the calm lake water. The Bella Vista location is perfect with easy access to a dozen golf courses, hike and bike trails and the city of Bentonville. This is just a great location in Northwest Arkansas. The only comment I would add is that we would have tried out the paddle boat but it was on the dock and too heavy for us to launch into the water. My friend found the queen size bed a little too firm for her liking and thought the pillows could be improved. I would love to return for another visit – if a little more affordable I would stay longer next time! Thank you to Craig and & Colleen for making the Little Sugar Lake house fabulous and available.

Beautiful, Clean, Spacious House with an Amazing Back View and Deck

I highly recommend this property for all families, groups, etc. It is immaculate inside with a beautiful remodel and comfortable furnishings! Towels, start-up needs like toilet paper, paper towels and soaps are all provided. The kitchen is well stocked with great dishware, utensils, pots, etc. The back view is breathtaking with an enormous deck to take it all in from. Several water toys and water crafts are available at the property and are well kept! This is a huge bonus!!! The hosts go above and beyond with their communication by providing helpful information about the area with additional amenities/activities near the property. They put a ton of thought into what makes a great stay and provided it for us. We had an incredible time and are already planning for our next trip back to hopefully be able to book this property again!

Our family loves travel and adventure! Northwest Arkansas was a surprisingly fun stop while living on the road. It turned out to be more than just a stop over! Our young daughter loves the nearby trails and you'll spot some pics of her adventures on the walls. We hope you love it here too :)

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property the moment we walked in the door! It is the most peaceful and relaxing home; it feels remote while being close to everything! We love that you can see turtles, birds, fish, and even a fox at night.
