About this property

The Mockingbird Cottage - Charming little cottage for two in a perfect location!

In 2018 we renovated our small guest house that is walking distance to downtown, Compton Gardens, and Crystal Bridges. This small and quaint little cottage is our guest house on a perfect small town street. The front bedroom was upgraded, and the back bedroom was converted to a master bath, with a new shower and refurbished 100 year old claw tub. It will sleep two in the master bedroom. The new renovation has a tank-less water heater and stacked washer & dryer. Property includes WIFI and several premium channels for your entertainment. Enjoy your cup of coffee in the morning in the original kitchen nook of this comfortable little rental. Please be fully aware that this guest house sits on our main residence property, so you do share our yard. We want you to book us with full knowledge of the set up. The good news is we are close by if you need anything during your stay. We are sorry, but no pets allowed at this property.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

This cottage was super charming and the owners had provided thoughtful touches in every room! The bed was fluffy and comfortable. The location was wonderful for us. We walked to dinners and museums and bicycled from the house. This was a perfect place to call home in an idyllic town.

Quintessential charm and ideal location! The cottage was very tastefully decorated blending antiques with modern function. Overall very clean with great smelling bedding and towels. My husband’s favorite was the excellent shower water pressure. I loved having coffee on the patio watching birds and squirrels in the peaceful backyard. Can’t wait to visit again!
Thoughtful anniversary welcome display!🤍

The Mockingbird cottage was as well appointed in all ways as any we have experienced over the years. Its proximity to bustling downtown Bentonville required an easy 5 minute walk. My wife and I will certainly return to this gem.

We enjoyed every moment at the cottage! It was purposefully organized, quaint and cozy but still had plenty of space for the two of us to enjoy. Loved the clawfoot tub! The hosts thought of everything to make the stay amazing.

What a beautiful home shared be generous hosts!! My husband and I stayed at Mockingbird Cottage for a long weekend to celebrate our anniversary. It was more than we typically spend, but I couldn’t rust after seeing the photos and reading all of the reviews. Your stay at Mockingbird Cottage is worth every penny! Our wintery trip was magical because of the cottage. You can feel the love and care poured into the space, plus the wonderful event and food recommendations show off Bentonville. We will certainly return to Bentonville and Mockingbird Cottage in the future

It felt like home. A well-appointed cottage with classic decor, nice touches like bottled water, Ghirardello chocolates, super comfortable king size bed, lovely backyard with songbirds, relaxing front yard with swing, quiet neighborhood, and an easy/short walk to town. Kevin and Shelly were great hosts and responsive to top it off. We'll be back!

This is a lovely cottage, located just a few blocks from downtown Bentonville. The cottage is beautifully appointed. It's exactly what we werelooking for. It's an easy bike ride to the Razorback Greenway, Coler Mountain and Slaughter Pen mountain bike trails. Bella Vista trails are a bit more of a ride on the Greenway or a short drive.

About the host

Hosted by Kevin Kraning

Host profile image
My wife and I invested in downtown in 2012 as we began our LLC Downtown Bentonviille Cottages. We established our rental business when there were only a few rental options in the area. Since that time we changed our business model on the existing rentals, and have now opened this new little cottage. We understand what you want when you travel and plan ahead of needs. We didn't just open a room or house for rent, but have been in the business and learned over time what guests need. You will enjoy this little place, it's very special.

Why they chose this property

Unique 100+ year old renovation. You will feel this place is special from the minute you walk in. Great neighborhood, great location to everything, and a comfortable space to enjoy home away from home.

What makes this property unique

As our guest you can walk directly East in side streets and in three small town blocks you are at the entrance of Compton Gardens. Head south three blocks and you are at a Walmart for groceries and the downtown square. Enjoy walking to Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings and now Wednesday evenings. All of downtown restaurants are also in walking distance to the Little House.
