Arkansas Lakeside Stay-cation! Relax,Bike,Golf,Kayak,Swim or Chat by the Fire!

Relax with an incredible Lake Avalon view here in Northwest Arkansas with so much to do including Crystal Bridges, ice skating, beautiful light displays in multiple nearby cities, plays and performances, riding or hiking the multi-use trails and enjoying a plethora of restaurant options. Great place for a large group of bikers, golfers, museum goers, families, etc. Beautiful Lake Avalon can be seen from the living room on both levels, both of which have a fireplace and a kitchen. The whole house has been updated with new floors, new paint and an expanded kitchen. Enjoy easy stone step access to the water's edge just 20 yards from the covered back porch. The screened balcony has 180 degree lake views. Amenities include an 8' x 24' floating swimming and fishing dock, gas and charcoal grills, porch furniture for lounging, fire pit with seating and 2 kayaks to paddle down the no wake lake to the park with a sandy beach, horseshoe pits, volley ball, and more. Perfect for small family reunions, getaways, shopping weekends, golf outings, tennis tournaments and biking/hiking adventures. Whether you are coming for an International Mountain Bike Convention, a visit to Crystal Bridges, or day trips in the Ozark Mountain area, this place will be new favorite your home away from home.

Located just 1 hr 30 min from Branson, 45 minutes from Eureka Springs, 35 minutes from Fayetteville and 15 minutes from Bentonville, it is the perfect retreat for Razorback games, Craft Fairs (October and May) , Bikes Blues and BBQ Rallies (September), and Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art events . Silver Dollar City, Gentry Wild Wilderness Drive through Zoo, The Passion Play, and Ozark Mountain Hiking trails. These options and more make perfect day trips. Enjoy the wonderful local restaurants and pubs in downtown Bentonville and Rogers with shopping nearby at Pinnacle Mall and other local vendors.

In addition to the 4 bedrooms that include 2 queen beds, one king and one twin trundle and bunk beds, the upstairs living room has a single pull out bed in the ottoman which can be moved to the screened in porch on a nice night. The downstairs living room has a hide-s-bed to accommodate 2 adults or 2 children, I have provide an extra mattress topper in the closet to make that more comfortable. In the downstairs kitchen, 3 waffle irons , a toaster oven and electric skillet are available for a breakfast gathering . Kids can watch a movie in the trundle room while adults enjoy an outdoor fire and stargazing. A pack and play and a baby feeding seat are available. NOTE: The driveway is fairly steep but easy to get used to. In order to have a short walk to the lake you have to have a steeper driveway to negotiate. There are 2 parking spaces along the road for those less adventurous.

This home has become likely one of our favorite VRBOs of all time! It was absolutely perfect! We are so grateful to the owners of this lakeside treasure for sharing it with us. The peace and quiet of sitting on the glass smooth waters edge or stand up paddle boarding around beautiful lake Avalon were medicine for the soul! We’ve got a lot going on in our lives right now and this amazing location and perfectly appointed and clean and comfortable home was just what we needed! Highly recommended for romantic couple getaways and family groups like we had. It is also perfectly located to get out and explore all the natural beauty around Bella Vista and Bentonville. We are already thinking about when we will rent this home again. A true treasure!

I felt I was home at my family's lake. The only thing that made it very tricky was the driveway because it's extremely steep. However, when you get used to it, it's not bad and great exercise when you have to walk your dog!The hosts are extremely responsive. The home was amply supplied with appliances, bedding, and there was even a basket with dog bedding for us to use.Note that if you are someone who has difficulty you with steps, this has a steep set of steps in the middle of the house to get to the bottom floor. If you have a toddler, I would bring a baby gate for the stairs.We didn't use the kayaks, but that looked really like it would be fun. I think we'd like to come back and explore further. This lake is quiet and beautiful. You can see herons, fish, birds, water, snakes, and other wildlife.We even saw a few fireflies for the first time in many years, which we found delightful

We stayed a long weekend and had a blast. House was very clean and had everything we needed. We spent most of our time relaxing and hanging out on the deck and dock. We used the paddle boards and kayak also- fun for all ages.

This home felt like home. There were so many thoughtful touches! Furniture was comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. Gorgeous views and accessibility to the dock. Above all, this house was immaculately clean. I dropped something that rolled under a bed, and as I reached for it, the wood floors were completely spotless. Zero dust bunnies or cobwebs in corners like other places that aren’t a big deal but can tell not deep cleaned. The owners truly maintain this home, and it shows!

The hosts were so friendly and welcoming and made it easy to start to settle in. The property is very well equipped. There were plenty of the usual pots and pans, and other implements. In addition (and unexpectedly) there were the essentials for personal grooming. The property is roomy with two separate areas for gathering, game playing, etc. so you don’t feel like you’re on top of each other. Property is right on the lake with its own dock so you can play on and in the water as much as you want. Great place for your gathering and the hosts are great!

Absolutely beautiful!! The moment you walk in the door you are hit with that million dollar view. Everything in the house is exactly as described. Wonderful space, almost like two complete houses. The lake is gorgeous and the fact that it is a no wake lake made it perfect for what we wanted. If you are on a kayak, paddle board, or heck even air mattress you can float till your heart is content and never have to worry about any boats or jet skis zooming around you. Plus it made it so quiet and peaceful. We went and spent several hours at the beach one day which was awesome. It is sand all the way out as far as we could touch. My grandson (7) has wanted to go to a beach and now he can say that he has. By the first day we were already talking about wanting to rent it again.

A spacious place with a beautiful view!

The Moon Dance Cottage has plenty of big windows and an upstairs balcony and downstairs porch that provide a beautiful view of Lake Avalon. There is a nice deck on the lake with comfortable chairs and kayaks, paddle board, and lifejackets close by and plenty of beach towels. The house is spacious with comfortable beds and and a kitchen upstairs and down. Although an older home, it has a nice lakeside vibe to it! Our group had a wonderful time there. Note to older folks: the stairs and rock steps down to the deck are steep and the driveway is, too. But our young at heart group managed them. The house has a room with bunk beds that makes it a great place for a family with older children and teens.The property managers are very nice and made check in easy. They extended our check out time on Sunday when we asked. I should mention that the price to rent is hard to beat. Thank you Kevin and Penny for sharing your lovely home with us.
