Large unique home in the beautiful Ozark Mountains on the Kings River.
Choyia’s Place on Kings River
This unique passive solar home was built by retired Air Force Lt. Colonel A.J. Smith and his wife Choyia in the early 90’s. They loved the area and wanted to share its beauty with their friends and visitors. We want to do the same. This 7000 sq.ft. home sits on the banks of the Kings River. It is great for canoeing, kayaking and fishing. The home has a very large kitchen and the dining area can seat 25 for meals. There are 5 bedrooms in the home, three have king beds and private baths. There is a bunk room that sleeps 6. The house sleeps 16 comfortably. There are 2 bar areas, a game room with pool table, game table and cozy seating area around fireplace. There is an exercise room with equipment and 6 person hot tub. A nice sun room is attached for morning coffee and a great place to read. There is a solarium with plants to bring the outside in. Choyia’s place is 25 minutes from historic Eureka Springs. 20 minutes from the beautiful Dogwood Canyon and around 45 minutes from Branson Mo. and Silver Dollar City. If you want to float the river we can refer you to a local Canoe rental service. If you would like, we can provideva grocery pickup for you so you will have everything you need when you arrive. We want you to relax and have a wonderful time and come back again and again.

There is a lot of steps, but it didn't stop our youngest at age 3. The kitchen had everything. Plenty of extra stuff as well such as paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags. Our whole family loved this house.
We had a great time. Debbie is a great host and we had everything we needed and liked the house layout so everyone could be connected but not disturbing others with the different games we had going on.
Check in was super easy, loved the cookies and the welcome letter in the kitchen. Kitchen is full service with no need to eat out if you dont want to. The house was great.
We had a great stay. Home was beautifully decorated for Christmas. Plenty of room for our families staying there. Our host was very accommodating with requests. We did not, however, that the water pressure was low. She is fixing that after our departure but was willing to do it during our stay if the problem was bad enough. Again, loved this property. It was very quiet area. It was a joy to sit outside on one of the many decks and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
We enoyed the space and access to the river. The kitchen and dining areas were nice for our large family. The house needs a good thorough cleaning (dusting light fixtures and cobwebs on the ceilings). There was VERY low water pressure so even though there are plenty of bathrooms, we had to only use one at a time in order to have enough pressure to shower. The host was very responsive and helpful.
Owner was fabulous. Property was spotless. Layout suited our needs. Everyone was talking about visiting next year. Easy river access, great hot tub, quiet solar in which to relax.
We had so much fun staying here! We loved how secluded it was but close enough to run into town if we forgot something. I loved that we could just walk down to the river and the water was crystal clear. The views from the deck were spectacular. Would definitely recommend for a getaway.
Our stay was great. The area is amazing amd Debbie was super helpful! We accidentally locked ourselves out and she was able to come and rescue us! This location is quiet and disconnected which was just what we needed!
Great stay for our large group of Harley riders. Need to mention that this house is almost a mile down a gravel road for those who visit on 2 wheels. Not the best situation, especially after a rainfall. This doesn't take away from the accomiations and wonderful host.
Enjoyed the opportunity to stay in a house that allowed multiple family members to stay together with enough space for everyone. Thank you for a beautiful home!

Thank you. We would love to have you stay anytime you come to the area
This house was absolutely perfect for our family of 10 and our 2 labs. There was so much room to spread out. We enjoyed having the pool table, darts and hot tub to use. We swam in the river multiple tunes and access from the property was so convenient. Our host was amazing and very prompt. Highly recommend!!!
Choyia is the perfect location for family or friends gatherings. It is exactly as advertised and even better. Debbie is an amazing hostess who greatly exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend this VRBO location. We plan to return as often as possible.

Thank you so much for the review. I would love to have you stay again.
Every year we take all the grown children and grands on a trip for Christmas. The house was beautifully decorated and room for all of us. Plenty of towels, snacks, kitchen has everything you need, games and a peaceful, gorgeous setting by the river.
“Awesome” was the first impression of the house when we walked in. We were not disappointed at all. We would definitely return when we are in the area again.
This was the best appointed VRBO that we have stayed at in years. There was plenty of room for people to spread out, but also big enough kitchen/ dining/ living area to accommodate all of us in one general area. We had a great time, the views were great and I would love to return in warmer weather to see the river. weather
