Come relax and make lifetime memories at the Chateau on the Little Red, a 4,292 square foot luxury vacation home located on the breathtakingly beautiful Little Red River in Heber Springs, Arkansas. The Chateau was designed by renowned Arkansas architect Eugene Pfeifer Levy. It's architectural details include soaring ceilings, massive windows, exposed beams, and amazing wide-plank pine floors.
The Chateau's expansive windows offer spectacular views of the Little Red River. Three bedrooms (two kings and a queen) and three baths are located downstairs, each with a view of the river. A large fourth bedroom/bunk room (with six single beds) is located on the second floor. The master bedroom is immense. The master bedroom includes a separate seating area that looks out onto the Little Red River. The master bath has a very large soaking (jetted) tub, a separate shower, dual vanities and giant walk-in closet. We provide towels, wash clothes, make-up towels, and toiletries, as well as a hair dryer and a lighted make-up mirror.
The Chateau's main kitchen is a gourmet cook's delight. The Chateau, however, also includes an extremely nice complete second kitchen and two large gathering rooms, each with its own fireplace.
There is a large screened in porch and an enormous deck for taking in views of the river and relaxing outdoors. The lower deck (which includes a fire pit), and the private boat dock offer even more intimate views of the Little Red River and the setting's natural beauty.
The Chateau's grounds are nothing short of spectacular. Guests enter the grounds via a private gated entry, beautiful landscaping, stone pathways, and a large fountain complement the Chateau's lush setting. and a private boat dock. Large blueberry bushes line the driveway and parking area's wrought iron fencing.
While the Chateau is a fisherman's dream (In May of 1992, the world record for a brown trout (40 pounds, 4 ounces) was caught nearby), it is much, much more. Guests can enjoy hiking Bridal Veil Falls, Sugarloaf Mountain, Collins Creek, or the Mossy Bluff Nature Trail, kayaking or paddle boarding on the Little Red River, water skiing or cliff jumping at Greer's Ferry Lake, playing golf at the Red Apple Inn & Country Club, spending an afternoon at the charming Ruland Train Museum, shopping at Ellen Hobgood Gallery in downtown Heber Springs.
If you want to watch a movie, you'll enjoy the countless options offered by the Chateau's smart/streaming televisions. Guests can enjoy movies on the UHD 60+" televisions in either of the Chateau's two large living rooms, or on the smaller televisions in each bedroom. Our free Wi-Fi will allow you to stay connected, if you choose to do so. If you're feeling nostalgic, the upstairs bunk room's video gaming system offers 620 "old school" video games.
If you want to "unplug" and catch up on your reading, sit back in one of the power reclining couches in each of the Chateau's two living rooms. Don't forget to enjoy a fire, if you like, in one of the Chateau's two fireplaces.
Visiting Chefs will enjoy the Dacor Range and double oven, the second kitchen, the expansive prep area and the Chateau's fully equipped and stocked kitchens make cooking and entertaining a breeze.

Loved the property, the home, the location, a wonderful place for family to gather, laugh and hear of days gone by and of course eat. Very clean. Just a wonderful place for families to spend time together.

This is our 3rd holiday family get together to this beautiful home. It won’t be our last! It has lots of room, even a second kitchen area which is great for cooking a large meal. The house has everything you could need. It’s right on the river with its own boat dock. Margo, the host, is great! She is very accommodating and informative.

We were thrilled to have you again! We are so happy you made good use of the two kitchens and enjoyed your time on the river. We hope you will come again soon!
The property was very clean and spacious and was exactly as described on VRBO. I was impressed, among other things, by the vaulted ceilings in living area, and by all of the provided fishing/recreational supplies at the dock. It is the best property we have stayed at over the last 25 years we have been coming to the Little Red River to be with friends/family, while fishing. Thank you so much!!

Beautiful home on the Little Red River. We had 4 couples and everyone was very comfortable. All the comforts of home were provided. Fishing right off the private dock was excellent, we brought 2 kayaks and a boat and kept them right at the dock. Would definitely go again

We had the most amazing stay at the Chateau on the Little Red River! The spacious kitchen and large dining table were perfect for gathering our entire family — so many wonderful memories were made there.The dock quickly became a family favorite. My brother and niece practically had to be dragged away because they wanted to spend every second out there trying to catch those beautiful rainbow trout. The peaceful setting and stunning river views made it the perfect escape.This place was absolute heaven, and we enjoyed every single moment. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us — we can’t wait to come back!
Everything was great caught several fish . This is a wonderful place plan to come again .

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Chateau. It was a very well equipped home with anything you might need in any way. Plenty of space in and out whether you wanted to be together or needed some quiet time for yourself. Having the dock and access to the canoe was also nice. Above all the home was immaculate and the beds were comfortable.

We enjoyed having Elizabeth’s group stay at our home! They were wonderful guests who took great care of our property. Elizabeth was good at keeping in touch and was always quick to respond. This group left our property in tip top shape which made it easy for my housekeeper to prepare for our next guests. I would highly recommend Elizabeth and her group as guests. They were terrific!
About the host
Hosted by Margo Germany
My husband and I fell in love with nearby Eden Isle after spending our first anniversary at the Red Apple Inn in 1984 and visiting often with our children as they grew up. Although we live in Memphis, we spend almost every weekend on Eden Isle. We purchased a beautiful vacation villa on Eden Isle and Greer's Ferry Lake (the Retreat at Eden Isle) in 2017, but were also always interested in a property on the nearby Little Red River.
When we noticed that the Chateau on the Little Red River was for sale, we quickly scheduled a visit and promptly purchased it in August of 2019. The Chateau was the perfect complement to our lake rentals, the Retreat at Eden Isle and Eden Isle's Fabulous Family Lake House.
Why they chose this property
The Chateau is located directly on the Little Red River around the bend from Cow Shoals and in an area that is literally teaming with trout. We love catching trout from our private dock. The setting is quiet, but close to Heber Springs.
What makes this property unique
The Chateau is spacious and intimate at the same time. The large windows throughout the home offer expansive views of the beautiful Little Red River. It is the perfect gathering place for a romantic getaway or a family retreat.
P.S. If you're driving an electric vehicle, you'll love our included EV charger (40 amp, level 2).
