Where Blue Birds Fly

Natural light bathes this spacious lakeview suite. Enjoy the lake view from your bed, or take a walk on our secluded road. Enjoy deer, fox, birds. Includes a private sunroom, private bath, walk-in closet and private entrance to yard. We built our three-story house on top of a hill on top of a bluff. So, we are on eye level with the birds, and often looking down on them. We affectionately call this our nest.
Two sleep comfortably in the queen bed and there is a twin roll-away bed stored in the walk-in closet for one more. In addition to the bedroom, bathroom and walk-in closet, this suite comes with its own 6x14 sunporch. Great place for reading, relaxing... It's a wall of screened windows that can be opened to let in the fresh air. There is also a door to the outside (pictured), which is your private entrance, but please, until we complete landscaping this fall, we ask for your safety that guests use the front door for coming and going. The sunroom door is a functional entrance, and you can go on to the small porch, but the ground is quite rough.

LOTS OF EXTRAS!
*Complimentary selection of teas, coffees, water and light snacks. The picture of TV console shows a mini fridge, we have also added a microwave and electric kettle.
*Use of fishing poles and gear. (Fishing license is required in Ark.)
*Use of kayaks, canoe, paddle and life jackets. (If you can't transport in/on your vehicle, we can do that for $20 roundtrip to a nearby landing.)
*Use of Rocky Branch State Park day pass where there's a swimming area and boat launch. (park is not charging day fee during COVID pandemic)
*Use of fire pit with folding chairs and complimentary marshmallows for roasting.
We must coordinate use of most of these items with guests in our other listing.
You should know this well up front that we are in the woods. The 20 minute-drive from downtown Rogers is winding with approximately 30 curves. That said, we're convenient to a lot of the natural beauty people seek out in Northwest Arkansas. We are 7 minutes by car to Rocky Branch State Park, where you can have lake access to swim or boat. (We have lake towels and a small selection of floats for your use!) If you have a boat in tow, there is plenty of room to park on our property. Same goes for RV parking. There is canoe and kayak rental just outside the state park. Boat rental is available at Prairie Creek Marina, approx. 15 minutes away. There is no direct lake access from our property, but the lake is visible from your room. Views abound!
War Eagle Cavern and Mill restaurant are a 15-minute drive. Excellent location for the annual craft fair. Next closest restaurants are 15 minutes away in Prairie Creek, many more options 20 minutes away in downtown Rogers. We are 45 minutes from Bentonville downtown and Crystal Bridges, mountain bike trails, etc., and 1 hour from downtown Fayetteville. 40 minutes to Eureka Springs and all that it has to offer.
Additionally, there are trail heads of the Hobbs State Conservation area just 5 minutes away, as well as great walking opportunities starting at the front door! Great area for biking, and we have couple of cheap ones you can borrow if you want.
Do any grocery shopping on your way here. Closest store is Dollar General about 15 minutes away. Harps is 20 minutes away, Walmart and Aldi 25 minutes away.

Arkansas Family Trip
We had our 1 year old and my husband and myself with us to stay. Cons: We got in late and unfortunately were not set up to get into the rental per VRBO hiccup. Very difficult to get set up late after dark to find where you are to be staying. One thing I did not know was that the rental shares side walls with the owners. It also advertises washer and dryer but you do not have your own access to them. Also with staying in the owners house, you do not have your own thermostat to control the temperature. Temp was okay but for my daughter to slept in the Walk in closet- it was too warm for her. Just a few things I wish I would have known. The bed felt like a full size to us verses a queen. We are used to our king at home. It was very firm for us. Pros: great view, close to where our family lives, mini fridge nice and cold and they stock you with water and snacks. Plenty of space for your things and shower is nice and all very new feeling.

Clean but very small
The bed/ bathroom was very clean and nice, however the bedroom is connected to the main part of the house so you can hear people and conversations in the kitchen/ living room so there isn't a lot of privacy. They do let you use their kayaks though, which was really nice!

Nice place!
The property is very nice and matches the description posted. The hosts are onsite for any issues (we didnt have any and only saw one if them 1 time). They are very open about the driveway and even having a custom vehicle it wasnt that bad. We would stay here again.

Lovely View
The apartment was clean and tidy, smaller than it looked in pictures, but did have a lovely view and was very quiet. The drive that was advertised as difficult was even more difficult than expected. A 4-wheel drive vehicle may have no trouble, but we could not get up to the apartment entry in my Kia Soul. So, it was hard getting our stuff up and down the hill where we had to park. The ladybug infestation was a little worrisome, but bugs don't bother us, so it was ok. The apartment is tight for two people who are not sleeping together, but putting roll-away on sunporch worked for me. I would not have wanted to stay more than two nights under those circumstances, however. The automatic door lock did not work when we first arrived and the host was not at home, but responded immediately to my phone call and managed to guide us into the apartment through the house. If you want to plug in a device and use it while lying in bed, you will need an extension cord (which we probably could have gotten from the host but didn't request). Also, there is one small trashcan in the bathroom, but we needed another trashcan next to the console where the coffeepot, etc. is located. We didn't use the TV, so can't comment. All of these comments are a bit picky! The apartment is comfortable, beautifully furnished, and provides a lovely view and perfect for a retreat from civilization. I hope to return for a solitary retreat in the future, and it would be perfect for a couple's retreat!

Spectacular View!
This property is in the Ozark Mountains and has a spectacular view of Beaver Lake! It was very quiet and safe. We saw deer every morning! The only downside is the driveway, which the host is very clear about in the description. If you have an all-wheel drive vehicle it is no problem getting to the parking area close to the private entrance. The space is limited (the bathroom/shower is gorgeous), but the host indicated we could use common areas in their home. I do not like to intrude on someone's space, so we chose not to use those areas. The room was very clean and had everything we needed! The host was very kind and accommodating. Would definitely stay again if we are in the area in the future!

Annivesary Getaway
we were looking for a quiet getaway. we live a very fast paced, hectic life with responsibilities for many. its hard to take time out just for yourselves and we needed this. the location and stay was absolutely perfect. we stayed for 6 days/5 nights. just as i got to know my way around the area it was time to come back. unlike MOST vacations where you go, go, go, go, we didn't. we unplugged and actually had time to rest, read, relax and reconnect. it was one of the best vacations we've had in years for that reason alone. the accomodations were exactly how they stated. we did hear them a couple of times in the kitchen making food, but other than that we were completely undisturbed. they offered to allow us to their kitchen if needed, but it wasn't. we spent time finding local (or semi-local) places to eat and just spent the days unwinding. this is a great place to go and we definitely would like to come back sooner than later.

Peaceful, Gorgeous, Cute, and Clean!
Let's start with the location. It is up a hill that looks directly down on Beaver Lake. Even in winter, when all the plants were dead, it was such a gorgeous view! There are other houses in the area, but it feels so secluded, making it a really peaceful environment. Both of the mornings went left the house, there were deer trotting around in the backyard! I would suggest bringing an SUV or higher car because the driveway is a bit difficult to get up. You also have to walk up a hill and on somewhat difficult terrain for about 100 feet, so make sure you are able to do that. It is about 30 minutes from Rogers and 40 minutes from Bentonville, but with the gorgeous views through the whole drive, it feels like nothing. There are so many restaurants and activities in the city that it is a great winter stay as well. Next, the room: You will have a private sunroom with windows facing the lake. The sunroom opens up into the bedroom with a private bathroom. The bedroom was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The space has a TV with Roku, a microwave, laundry basket, mini fridge, and lots of extra towels/sheets. The bathroom has an amazing waterfall showerhead, and it is also very spacious and adorable. The only thing: I am unsure where they came from, but we found 2-3 lady bugs in the bathroom/sun room throughout our stay (not a big deal, but just if you are scared of bugs!!). I am a bit of a clean freak, and I thought everything was clean - it all smelled good and you could tell the space was well taken care of. Finally, the host: The hosts were so kind and informative. You are staying in their house, but there is a completely separate entrance to the guest area, and we never even saw the hosts. We heard them doing dishes once, but it was only because we did not have the TV going, so it was almost silent in our room haha. They were happy to fix things if we had any issues and they wanted us to have a wonderful stay. This was, overall, one of the best VRBOs that we have stayed at!!

A wonderful and peaceful place to rest and relax
This was a perfect place for me to get away for the weekend. The bed was amazing, second to only the view. The hosts had great communication and made locating the home and check-in super easy. The shower was incredible. Usually such things are unremarkable, but not this one! Enjoy!

Working it out
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at this property. We had issues with VRBO overcharging us and Donna was really helpful in helping get the issue resolved. This property is a mother-in-law suite to Donna's house. You have access to a mini-fridge, microwave, hot-water kettle, sunroom, rainfall shower with led lights, and a beautiful view without having to leave your room/area. Donna and her family live in the main part of the house and they rent out the downstairs as well. If you do not mind asking, you can use their full kitchen, bbq grill, and patio. For an extra $15 they will haul their kayaks to a cove for you to kayak around. We did this and thought it was excellent. There is one restaurant that is super close called the War Eagle Mill (it closes at 4pm). Otherwise you need to drive 30-45 minutes into Rogers or Bentonville. We elected to ask for use of the kitchen and use their grill. This property is very close to the trails of Hobbs State Park. We enjoyed the Karst Trail Loop. Donna is a great host and I would highly recommend staying with her.
