Lovely, clean, well furnished small home in the heart of Bentonville, convenient to Crystal Bridges, restaurants, walking/biking trails. Driveway parking with extra space for guests, walking distance to old downtown square and Walmart museum. Backyard with giant chess, pergola with generous seating, fire pit and wood. Bike garage that locks and bike trail maps. Highly recommend to bikers or museum fans like us!

This unit is within walking distance to the Bentonville town square, restaurants, coffee shops etc. The space was very functional for one person. Two for a short stay would be workable. Nice to have a washer and dryer for longer stays. It's very private and the parking very convenient. Overall a great spot when visiting Bentonville.

Cozy apartment

The apartment was just what we needed for our week in Bentonville. It was great having an outdoor area to eat our lunches and a bike shed for our bikes. We rented a car but didn’t even need to use it since we were so close to town. Wonderful place!

Great location and kind manager

We had a lovely stay- the location was perfect and the house was very cute and well equipped. We were a little disappointed in the cleanliness of the place, linens were clean but the floors were not. However the experience was positive overall.

Not as it seems

This property needs some TLC. Outdoor seating area was overgrown, needed to be mowed. Indoor could use a paint refresh and a good cleaning. We love Bentonville, but this was a disappointment.

Nice unit

The unit was overall nice, I was a bit let down upon arrival. I arrived later in the evening, the porch light didnt work, the door handle was not completely attached to the door. Upon my arrival inside, it was cold. I will I stayed on one of the coldest days of the year, and the one unit was set to 69 heat, but the other was on 69 cool, so it took some time to room the bedroom up. The bathroom floor lacked insulation and was extremely cold the entire stay. Overall the unit was nice and the host offered coffee and snacks.

Cozy yet close to town

I loved the outside space which initially attracted me to the rental. Private use of the fire pit, outdoor table and lounge area including hammock. 2 blocks from the square so I walked there and also to Compton Gardens where I walked every day. I'll be back every year. Michelle thinks of every amenity including a small smores kit, snacks, bottled water, etc. which add that special touch to a home away from home...including the marshmello tongs/stick for the roasting. Perhaps the best VRBO I've every stayed at. Quiet too with birds singing.
