What a wonderful property! It was clean and nicely decorated. We loved sitting out on the covered decks! So peaceful and serene. We went down to the dock each evening to watch the sun set and to wait for the stars to come out. We even saw two fawns come down to the water's edge across the inlet from us. If we had more time, we would have used the noodles provided and would have floated by the dock. The beds were comfortable and the AC was ice cold. We definitely will be back.

We really enjoy this property and appreciated the lake access and kayaks! We loved the area and there's lots to do around there. We really enjoyed being close to Bentonville and the bike trails. It was a sweet surprise to find basic spices and salt and pepper in the cabinets. The host were very accommodating and quick to respond to our questions and needs. We will definitely be back!
