The driveway was intimidating but proximity to the water was worth it. We loved how close it was to biking for kiddos and adults! The smell of incense was a bit strong in the basement but overall an amazing property. I definitely think we’ll be back!

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.

5-Star Stay at a Cozy Lakehouse Retreat!
Our stay at this beautiful lakehouse in Bella Vista was absolutely perfect! The home was clean, cozy, and decorated with such thoughtful, charming details—it felt like a true retreat from the moment we walked in. The multiple wood-burning fireplaces made for the perfect ambiance during the chilly weather, and we loved curling up by the fire after a day of exploring.Mornings were magical, with breathtaking sunrises over Lake Avalon enjoyed right from the dock. We spent time fishing off the dock, taking in the peaceful surroundings, and soaking up the beauty of the spring blossoms in the yard and surrounding trees. The nearby walking trails provided a great way to explore nature, and the location was ideal for visiting Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and taking a day trip to Eureka Springs.The house was also perfect for families, with plenty of kids’ games and activities to keep everyone entertained. It truly had everything we needed for a relaxing and fun-filled getaway. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and will definitely be back!Highly recommend this lakehouse to anyone looking for a peaceful, well-appointed retreat in Bella Vista! Thank you, Pam and Kevin!

Great lake place with everything you might need. All 4 of us adults had plenty of space of our own. We used the lakeside grill most nights and made breakfast in the main kitchen each morning. Nice hiking trails and golf courses near by. Loads of other amenities we didn’t get a chance to use. Would definitely book again next time we’re in the area or with the family.
