Glad your family Thanksgiving was extra special at JuliasLakeHouse.
I aim to have something of interest for ALL ages.
Would enjoy having you back this Summer, when you can enjoy all the Lake activities.
The house and accommodations were amazing. The house was well stock for anything you might need.. Great lake view and convenient to many attractions. Julia was great to work with during booking and when we arrived.
This beautiful house has so many living areas to enjoy, so many places to relax and enjoy the beautiful views and the lake. It is furnished with just about everything you need and more. It’s clean, spacious, and is by far the best place we’ve stayed in while visiting Bella Vista.

Absolutely the perfect home for large or small gatherings…Julia has thought of every need no matter what the want may be..Julia’s preparation was beyond our expectations and therefore all we had to do was enjoy her home!! Perfect lake and great area of NW Arkansas…we hope to return soon..👍
We had a wonderful time and this home had EVERYTHING for fun and practical needs. Julia is amazing and has thought of everything! We had ages 3-80 and every detail of our stay was perfection!!
Nine of us (five adults & 4 children) spent a week in July at this spectacular property. The house is large, immaculate, well-furnished and stocked--and situated perfectly for relaxing days and evenings on the lovely lake. Host Julia is professional, friendly, and attentive. Highly recommend.

Carol & Family were
Excellent guests.
Notified me immediately if something needed attention or repair.
Guests Respected JuliasLakeHouse as if it was their actual forever Home.
Thank you for fulling enjoying the amenities JuliasLakeHouse has to offer.
I enjoyed getting to meet your family. How very special for the three, 4 year old grandsons and 6 year old granddaughter to get to spend that quality time together as cousins.
Please consider re-visiting JuliasLakeHouse for a future family reunion.
Your family is welcome back anytime.
Now you have a Home away from Home!!!
We have had 3 years in a row of amazing vacations at this home. Julia truly is the most outstanding host and this property is incredibly maintained and stocked with everything one could need. We love it all!!!!
We stayed for a week with a couple families, younger kids, and had a great time. Toys for all the littles. Lake toys (kayaks, paddleboards, tubes) for the bigs. And plenty of space for all of us. Plus Julia is the best.

JuliasLakeHouse has enough space to spread out for those that are working from home during these trying times. The high speed 5GHz internet allows many different devices to be functioning simultaneously. You definitely brought the beautiful weather with you.. Please consider visiting JuliasLakeHouse again for your next reunion, get-away or just a peaceful vacation.
I’ve never been to a VRBO or Air B&B that put such effort into so many details. We lacked nothing! we were all super impressed and it was just beautiful!
Ten of us (grandparents, kids, grandkids) just spent five wonderful days at Julia's Lake House in Bella Vista, AR--and wish it could've been longer! The house and property were beautiful, the lake was ideal for both children and adults, and Julia took care of every detail. We also took advantage of two terrific museums in nearby Bentonville. This was our second stay at Julia's. Highly recommend.

Thanks for leaving the house in excellent condition for guests to follow.
Please consider returning to JuliasLakeHouse for another gathering with your family.
The perfect home-away-from-home! Everything you need is in this beautiful house, and even all you want to enjoy the lake. Something for every age. Julia is pleasant and communicates to make sure guests are happy. And best of all, her checkout requests are minimal
Julia is the most on the ball and helpful person on the planet. Her home is gorgeous and stocked with everything you could wish for/you forgot 🙃. It was a perfectly delightful experience from A to Z.

Communication with guests, makes the transition to JuliasLakeHouse simpler and easier for both the guest and host.
I’m hands on and happy to answer any questions or concerns prior, during or after your stay at JuliasLakeHouse.
The home was well appointed and equipped with everything you would need. There were so many amenities and the home had everything you needed. All we had to bring was our clothes and groceries. Highly recommended
We had a fabulous time at Julia’s Lake House
We had the whole family with us to mark our 50th wedding anniversary. The house is lovely, very clean and perfect for a large group.
Julia has thought of everything a family would need to enjoy a week on the lake
Our grandkids loved the lily pad, kayaks, paddle boards, fishing gear and big raft.
Julia was so easy to communicate with and very accommodating.
The house has a beautiful view of the lake.
We highly recommend this great place and hope to return in the future.
This property is amazing! We met up with some friends and had an amazing week. Julia has everything you could want in the house and also is super responsive when you have any questions at all. We especially enjoyed having the paddle boards and kayaks. They were used a lot! We are already trying to plan our trip back next year. Thanks Julia!

I’m glad JuliasLakeHouse was a great meeting place to have a reunion and still be able to conduct remote business while vacationing.
Who knew you could have an awesome family vacation on a small lake in Arkansas. We were amazed at all the extras Julia puts into making sure her guests have everything they need to have a great time. We enjoyed boating, fishing, swimming, paddle boards, kayaks, adult size blow up rafts for lots of fun on the water. It didn't stop without side toys, there were puzzles, books, games, movies and more. Plus a kitchen with everything you needed ncluding any small appliance you could think of which made cooking together fun for all. Julia goes the extra mile and it shows! Thanks Julia!

You are very welcome. Hope you’ll reschedule for next years family reunion at JuliasLakeHouse.
Julia’s was amazing! So much space inside and out. The walk to the dock is easy and short. We spent several days out there and it was a dream. The water is shallow near the dock so it’s perfect for floating, playing and especially for littles. The house was clean and had all the amenities described. Julia clearly goes out of her way to get everything ready and perfect for guests. She’s super responsive beforehand to answer any questions and is willing to help during the stay. We had adults and kids ages 2 months to 14 and everyone had a blast. We would definitely recommend the place and would come back! It would even be great in the off-season!

I enjoy having guests that respect my property, as if it were their own home.
It makes owning a vacation rental worth all the hard work it takes running, repairing & upgrading the property.
I appreciate that the guests wash the beach towels prior to departure and start a load of white towels. I appreciate guests starting the dishwasher and bringing all their garbage, to the huge, blue, bins provided.
I have a fantastic cleaning & bed making team. I’m the owner and I only manager one property.
My yard team comes on a regular schedule. I have a few “handy men” on call for repairs.
When my guests enjoy their visits and respect my house rules, everything goes smoothly.
Thanks in advance!!!

JuliasLakeHouse
The property is absolutely gorgeous and Julia was an outstanding host. She goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is exceptional. We spent most of our time during the day on the dock, floating in the lake and kayaking and paddle boarding and our evenings playing games and enjoying the pool table. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and have their own space. The house was spotless and the kitchen was fully stocked. She even had extra water shoes in case anyone forgot theirs (which we did)!! We did rent a boat one day and the kids enjoyed tubing and checking out the whole lake. It is very quiet and peaceful without a whole lot of boat traffic. I would highly recommend the property and we look forward to visiting again.

I enjoy owning and managing JuliasLakeHouse. It’s become a hobby for me.
Thanks for treating my home, as if it were your own.
Consider, rebooking for another Fun Filled Family gathering.
There was 11 of us from 3 states, ranging from ages 5-45. The home was so clean and stocked with everything you would need from water shoes and fishing poles to sweet & low for your iced tea and poker chips and cards for game night! We thoroughly enjoyed the property and the hospitality Julia offers. The mattress I slept on was so comfortable I had to inquire about where I can purchase one for my home. We spent our days swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, hiking, and golfing and our evenings were spent with home cooked meals made in the well stocked kitchen and Texas Hold ‘em, Billiards, and Corn Hole tournaments. Thanks for providing a space for our families to come together and make memories Julia!

It was my pleasure hosting you and your family for this special reunion. I appreciated how detailed you were, in keeping me informed, of any needed repairs. This allowed me to get my handyman in and make the repairs in a timely fashion.
Most of all, you enjoyed yourselves and still left the house in the excellent Condition you found it in, upon your arrival.
You are welcome back to JuliasLakeHouse anytime.
Thank you!!!

About the host
Hosted by Julia Denniston
I am the Mom of 4 grown sons and 6 grand children. My husband and I built our home in Bella Vista on Loch Lomond. We enjoy it so much we purchased another lake front home to share with our visitors and guests.
Why they chose this property
Loch Lomond is a small, quiet lake, yet it is an all sport lake except for jet skis. We have a Marina that services boat rental, fuel, bait and a restaurant. The fishing, mountain biking, hiking & swimming is excellent. On weekdays you might have the lake all to yourselves. The home is located in a private cul-de-sac neighborhood, surrounded with trees and lake front.
What makes this property unique
The spectacular views from Julia's Lake House, balconies, sun porch and lake are what attracted us to this home. The house is set in a quiet, tranquil neighborhood on a cul-de-sac. Our property has 154 ft of shore line. The views are breath taking. At times it feels like you have the lake all to yourselves.This 4,600 sq ft luxury home, with 5 bedroom, 4 baths, allows everyone to have plenty of space. 9 beds available . Having 2 spacious living areas, 2 kitchens, 2 pellet fire places, gas grill, fire pit, 2 kayaks and 2 paddle boards, are just some of the extra's. The kitchen is fully stocked for 10-12 people with extra large pots and pans. The family room has a pool table, big screen TV, books, puzzles, games and 200+Lego Duplo's are some added bonuses. The driveway holds 5 cars, boat trailer or RV, with access to 2 car garage.
