About this property

The Green Door on Lake Avalon – Private Lakefront Retreat


Enjoy your own peaceful retreat on Lake Avalon — a secure, private walk-out suite with water views from every window. Perfect for couples or solo travelers seeking quiet mornings, easy lake access, and a comfortable home base just minutes from Bella Vista amenities.

The Green Door on Lake Avalon is a private walk-out basement apartment with beautiful lake views from every window. This is a fully private walk-out suite — your own entrance and outdoor area — ideal for uninterrupted rest and relaxation.

If navigating slopes and multiple steps is difficult, this space may not be the best fit.

Sunsets here are something special — whether you're watching from inside or relaxing on the chair swing, the view and sounds of nature are unforgettable.

Inside, you’ll find a clawfoot tub for a vintage-style soak — perfect for unwinding with a glass of wine.
The kitchenette, cleverly tucked into a cabinet, includes a microwave, Keurig coffee maker, toaster oven/air fryer, and a plug-in induction cooktop with a pan provided. A small fridge, dishwasher, and basic dishware are also available.

The apartment has one bedroom and a convertible couch in the living area, allowing space for up to four guests. A washer and dryer are provided for your convenience.

Please note: the home’s upper level is occupied by your host, but the spaces are securely separated. You may occasionally hear footsteps, but I aim to keep things quiet and respectful of your privacy.

The driveway is steep, and guests will walk down a lit pathway with steps to reach the wrap-around deck and private entrance.

If you’d like lake access, I’ll be happy to request guest passes on your behalf. This is a private POA lake, and passes must be arranged in advance using each guest’s first and last name and email address. A small lake use fee (currently $6/day) is required and can be paid at The Beach, just a 5-minute drive away.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned apartment, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchenette is outfitted with a refrigerator, a microwave, and a dishwasher. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
This smoke-free apartment features books, games, and hiking/biking trails nearby. Amenities and recreational activities include paddleboards on site and kayaking nearby.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Stayed here for our 25th wedding anniversary and it was an amazing weekend! The property was perfect for a relaxing getaway, beautifully maintained, and in a great location. Michelle was an outstanding host—her ascetic abilities made everything feel effortlessly simple yet perfectly taken care of, with thoughtful touches everywhere. We especially loved the trips out on the pontoon along with some good bass catches; they were the highlight of our stay and created some wonderful memories on the water. Highly recommend this place for couples or families looking for a memorable escape. We’ll definitely be back! We loved the Bentonville downtown area, so much to do!

TRULY WONDERFUL RELAXING PLACE

We loved every detail of this lake house, obviously the location but it’s so much more than that! The best bed and linens, the charm of the bath tub with the bath salts and bath bomb. I loved every bit of our stay!
