About this property

Ozark Mountain Lakehouse • Scenic Lake Views • Trails & Private Dock

Lakefront comfort meets Ozark adventure at this spacious Lake Avalon retreat with private dock and trail access. Relax and recharge at Ozark Mountain Lakehouse, a 3,900-sq-ft lakefront retreat on Lake Avalon in Bella Vista. Enjoy peaceful water views, two spacious decks, and a private dock for fishing, kayaking, and swimming. Step onto the nearby Little Sugar Trail for world-class mountain biking and hiking, and watch for the new OZ Bike Lift Park opening soon. With multiple living areas, fireplaces, and full access to Bella Vista’s golf, pools, and recreation, this is your perfect Ozark getaway.

The main level features a cozy living room with fireplace, full kitchen, dining for six, and two bedrooms, each with a private bath. Step onto the upper deck for dining or morning coffee overlooking the lake.

The lower level includes a second living room with fireplace, two bedrooms connected by a shared entryway, a full bath, and an additional queen bed in a common area. Entertainment options abound with ping-pong, Xbox, and three TVs offering cable, Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+.

Out back, take the long, steep wooden steps down to your private dock for fishing, kayaking, or swimming—kayaks and gear are provided. Guests can also enjoy the Beach at Lake Avalon just minutes away, plus access to six golf courses, fitness and tennis centers, pools, and excellent dining throughout Bella Vista.

Adventure is right outside your door with the Little Sugar Trail system, offering 50+ miles of premier mountain-bike and hiking trails. And coming soon, Bella Vista will debut the OZ Mountain Bike Lift Park, chairlift-served biking destination featuring miles of gravity trails—placing this home in the heart of America’s great cycling hub.

Cultural highlights like Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, The Momentary, and downtown Bentonville are just a short drive away.

wonderful weekend

We loved everything about the house. It is very functional for a family and the view of the lake is amazing. Only downfall is the journey to the dock. Too steep for toddlers or elderly. All in all a wonderful stay.

Here for weekend family vaca. It was very hot outside and upstairs AC had a hard time keeping up-likely due to 3 sliding glass doors that had no curtains/blinds (one in master bedroom!). Very clean, lots of space, host responded quickly to need for dishwashing soap. The walk down to the lake was very steep-something like 90 stairs down to dock so we didn’t spend much time down there. Did use kayaks on lake to go to the swim beach which was very close to the dock. Loved being able to use 2-car garage with remotes. If you’ve got more than 7 people, bring some plastic ware-not enough silverware for all of us! We would stay again but maybe when it’s cooler so we could take more advantage of hiking and biking in the area.

Perfect base for nature in proximity to amenities!

We enjoyed our stay so much. In fact, we tried to extend but unfortunately the property was already booked. The property manager did all in her power to ensure we had a good stay. Even provided us with foldable chairs for a concert we decided to go to in nearby Bentonville. The walk down to the lake is steep, but for our group it was no issue. The lake is small/medium in size but close to other larger lakes. So we swam and did paddelboarding and kayaking there and then rented a boat for a day on Beaver Lake. Lots of amenities as part of the HOA, including awesome tennis facility, yoga on the beach, and a ton more. It is a quiet laid back community. Great for relaxing but plenty to offer within 15 minutes driving.

Family reunion lake trip

Great house, lots of space but the lake access is a challenge. The house is nice with great views and plenty of space. The basement bedrooms are actually one room with beds on two different walls with a divider in between. Not a huge deal but not what we expected. The lake access is some work though, 76 steps down to the dock, and they are steep, not including the walk down from the house to the wood steps. Unfortunately the grandparents could not do that many steps but we had another house too so it was fine. Just be ready for the hike as there are no pictures from the dock looking up to the house. Bathrooms, kitchen and outdoor space was great. Family really enjoyed the lake and the hosts were responsive and helpful.

Spring break stay

The host was extremely prompt in her communications with us. She answered all questions in a timely manner. The location was great. The neighborhood was great for taking walks. Easy walk/hike to the Avalon beach and kids liked the park there. The play house is in rough shape and not as photographed. The bedding wasn’t in the best shape. All said the house served its purpose and we had a great trip. Probably could have been more thoroughly cleaned.
