The house was perfect for my husband and i and our 2 dogs. The property was clean, the beds were very cozy with soft sheets and it was well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. Communication with Sylvia was top notch and she was very responsive and helpful with everything. The area was quiet and the dogs enjoyed exploring the woods behind the house. Also, very close to the main square of Bentonville, which was a fun area.

Thank you Angela for the wonderful review! I'm so glad you, your husband, and your two pups had such a great stay. It’s great to hear you found the house clean, comfortable, and well stocked, and that the cozy beds helped you relax. I'm happy I could make your stay easy with good communication. It sounds like your dogs had a great time exploring the woods, and I'm glad you were able to enjoy everything downtown Bentonville has to offer as well. We'd love to host you all again anytime! Safe travels!

Overall good property

This cozy getaway is both in a neighborhood and tucked into the woods on an Arkansas hillside which gives a very nice remote/private feel. The short driveway is rather steep down to the covered carport. Our only problem was the AC pre-arrival settings. It was pre-set to 85 for our July arrival so it was quite hot inside the house. Thankfully check in details were provided just as described and we were able to access the house right at 4 PM and get the AC going. The AC works fine and it cooled enough we were able to stay there that first night, and were comfortable the rest of our stay.

We are so sorry for the temperature of the home when you arrived, we had lost internet from the storm the night before and I didn't realize that it hadn't reconnected till later that day, but thank goodness you were able to get in and cool it down comfortably,

Let me start by saying this property exceeded our expectations! The host thoughtfully took care of so many things other property owners leave out. They provided shampoo/body wash, laundry detergent, dishwasher fluid, plenty of towels, extra toilet paper and paper towels, a brand new sponge, the list goes on. The cherry on top was the pack-n-play with FOAM INSERT for the littlest one. These are all things we have had other property owners leave out, and it made this stay even more enjoyable knowing that the host thoughtfully prepared for us. We just plain felt welcomed into their home.Communication with the host was top notch as we navigated some snags with the guest passes. Which, by the way, the Bella vista amenities really elevated our time here. We enjoyed the lake, the pools, and so much. We will definitely be making another trip back to Bella Vista to enjoy some relaxation. This property gave our family of 6 plenty of space to stretch ! And we rode bikes straight from the house!

We stayed here for three nights and it was a perfect trip! The house was very clean and in an amazing location. The back fire pit was nice to enjoy in the evenings. Would definitely stay here again!
