About this property

Amazing Experiences Await Your Group - Family or Friends

Secluded in the forest, this beautiful two-level vacation paradise has unstoppable, restful vistas, lots of outdoor space, boat dock on a placid lake, and access to the best mountain bike trails in the country! With four comfortable bedrooms plus an office with a convertible day bed; 3.5 baths; efficient and equipped kitchen & dining room, both with eating areas; extensive deck areas; pine shiplap ceilings, two fireplaces, laundry facilities, and an appealingly open floor plan but still private spaces when needed; this vacation space is everything you’re looking for! Located in the heart of the Back 40 Bike Trails, there are mountain biking trails all around. Bikes are safe in the enclosed garage when not in use. Swim when it's hot in the man-made lake, then play games, solve world problems, or just relax at the deck table with your compatriots, or around the firepit below on the ground level. Spend the evening - or early morning, or anytime of day - enjoying the views of the lake, the wildlife, and the feeling of being lost in nature.
Cook on the grill, find one of the myriad restaurants in the area, or enjoy a picnic. Anything’s possible, and pleasant, at this delightful lake house home away from home!
NOTE: Due to the frequency and expense of occurrence, there will be a base charge of $25 to return items left behind by guests. Please, check all rooms for personal belongings before departing!
Also, please follow checkout instructions before departing; they’re in the guestbook on the counter, and very basic, but so helpful! Thank you!

Girls Get Away
This was our third VRBO stay this year. While Karla was very responsive, the property itself was not on par with the other two properties we stayed at. The consumables (shower wash, tin foil, plastic wrap, kleenex, etc.) were not plentiful or supplied. The property is clean on the surface, but needs a deep clean. We could trace our fingers through the dust on the mantles, celing fans, and some window sills. The kitchen, which had many dishes, was not well appointed, i.e. there were not enough wine glasses for 5 people.

Quiet, Peaceful and Relaxing
This property was great. It was easy to find and tucked away just enough to give an outdoorsy feel. The view of the lake was great as well. Highway access was easy, and neighboring cities are only a quick drive away.

Water and MTB Family here
This house was perfect for our family. There was plenty of room and beds for our large family. The access to the water was managable and the water was worth every step it took to walk down and up. Location was perfect for all that we wanted to do. The homeowners were easy to work with, communication was always quickly responded to and the home was nice and clean. Highly recommend this place!

Family vacation
We had 12 people ages 4-65 for our family vacation. The house was big enough for all, with enough beds and bathrooms. The kitchen was well stocked, with plenty of table space for everyone. We loved swimming off the deck and exploring the area.

Baseball weekend in Arkansas!
Our baseball adventures brought us to Bella Vista for the Chad Wolff Classic. Our group was looking for a relaxing place to stay with some space for the kids and outdoor fun. We enjoyed fishing from the dock and enjoying the views from the deck. The amenities inside were just as nice. The kitchen had all the necessary appliances and cooking items. The sleeping areas were perfect for our large group. The bunks were great for the kids and the regular beds accommodated the adults. Everyone raved about the water pressure in the showers, and I have to agree, it was amazing! There were plenty of linens for our large group, as well! Overall our stay and experience with Tim and Karla was outstanding! We will definitely be back! Thank you!

Perfect Family Get
We took the whole family 6 adults and 7 children and had a wonderful time. The house was big enough to accommodate all of us with ample bedrooms and bathrooms. The living areas where awesome one for just sitting and talking and one for the children to play in. The kichen was well stocked and plenty of seating for all of us at a table. Best part was lake access. The kids loved the lake. Swimming, paddle boating and tubing. We also enjoyed the hiking trails and biking. Everything we needed and wanted to do was conveniently located to the property. I highly recommend anyone wanting a great place to stay to stay here.

Great place for our guys golf trip
The property was perfect for our annual guys golf trip to Bella Vista. The location on the lake was great and we all really enjoyed the deck and patio. Everything was labeled and easy to find in the kitchen so we could cook for our entire group every night and there were plenty of beds for everyone. We will definitely be back.

Long weekend
Karla was very easy to get in touch with and so nice. We had a little situation with needing a pass to boat on a neighboring lake but Karla helped fix that. The home was well stocked with towels and cook ware. It was a little bit of a hike down to the water but we all swam, paddle boated, and kayaked every day. The fishing was also pretty good. We would stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Karla or Tim Cox

Host profile image
We originally came to Arkansas to visit family members. Now those family members and we are sharing our delight in this area with you!
We raised a large family, and now enjoy splitting our time between our children and grandchildren, and our vacation rentals. We enjoy traveling and the diversity of the world and its people; we also enjoy getting to know people virtually, by sharing our homes and the pleasant settings of each locale. We really hope you find joy in this forested paradise as we do!

Why they chose this property

This peaceful property is so calming and beautiful, situated on a quiet, secluded lake with large trees, great views and a hillside setting. You will love it. Our family loves coming here and yours will too. If you are a mountain biker this a great place to launch great trips through some of the most scenic and challenging trails in the country, all found in the Bentonville/Bella Vista area . There are world-class mountain biking, trail running and hiking trails in the Ozark Mountains. Bella Vista's trails meander through deep woods, featuring waterfalls, bluffs and creeks; they were built by nationally known trail builders to offer a top-notch experience on two wheels or on foot. Trails are free and open to the public, and connect to the NWA Regional Razorback Greenway. The home is located close to the Back 40 Trailhead. There is room to keep your bikes safely stored in the garage and you can relax in a beautiful place when you are not on the trails. In addition, there are six golf courses in close proximity, all in tree-filled, restful settings.

What makes this property unique

Bentonville/Bella Vista area is a Mountain Bike Mecca! Hundreds of miles of trails are nearby - some mere minutes away.
In addition, nearby Bentonville is Walmartville! Sam Walton started his worldwide corporation right here; with history and nostalgia pleasantly combined, there's much to see and do. Excellent restaurants, charming downtown, and mountain bike trails everywhere; we simply add the quiet location and a private lake by which to relax at day's end. Paradise Found!
Newly Remodeled Home. Great Location on peaceful Lake Rayburn, and so close to miles of mountain biking trails. Fishing Encouraged.
