Step out to the wrap-around deck for grilling and dining with a view. Lower level: A walk-out lower level adds a second living area with a comfortable sectional, a wet bar with a sink, a game area with a poker table and board games, and a study with built-in shelving and lake views.

The home sits on a wooded, sloped cul-de-sac lot with mature trees and plenty of privacy.

The lower level walks out directly to the water. The property sits on a quiet wooded cul-de-sac in the Portsmouth neighborhood of Bella Vista. We are a local management team and are available by phone and message throughout your stay. We are happy to share recommendations for restaurants, trailheads, boat ramps, and things to do. Check-in instructions and a digital guidebook with everything you need will be sent before your arrival. Lake Windsor is the second largest of Bella Vista's seven lakes, a 220 acre lake open to fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, skiing, and boating. Anglers can fish for largemouth bass, crappie, catfish, and bluegill right off the dock, and calm mornings are perfect for a paddle through the coves. Bella Vista is a haven for the outdoors. The area is known for its seven golf courses, the 40-plus mile paved Greenway, and the celebrated Back 40 and Little Sugar mountain biking trails. The Tanyard Creek Nature Trail, with its scenic waterfall, is a short drive away. You are about 15 minutes from downtown Bentonville, home to the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, the Walmart Museum, and a lively square full of restaurants and shops. Rogers and its lakeside beaches are close by, and Fayetteville and the University of Arkansas are about 45 minutes south. A few things to know before you arrive: The home sits on a sloped, wooded lot with stairs leading down to the lake and dock. Wear good shoes and take care on the steps and decks, especially with young children. This is a natural lake with open water and no lifeguard. Please supervise children and non-swimmers at all times near the dock and shoreline. Life jackets are strongly recommended for anyone on or near the water. The property is on a septic system, so please flush only toilet paper. Heating is provided by a propane furnace. The fireplaces are decorative only and are not available for guest use. This is a peaceful residential lake community. We ask that guests respect the neighbors and keep noise down in the evenings. Supplies: We stock a starter supply of essentials, including toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, dish and laundry soap, and coffee, to get you through the first couple of days. For longer stays, please plan to pick up extra supplies as needed.

We have stayed all over Bella Vista. This was our favorite property so far. We are 8 women and we were all very comfortable. The living space is open and sunny. It’s super quiet. The lake is awesome. You have all the comforts and amenities you need. We loved the kitchen and spent a lot of time on the deck. Garrett is the perfect host: super communicator, gracious, friendly. I think we found our go to for Bella Vista!

My family of 9 (6 adults and 3 children) had a great stay here... the house is large with two living spaces which is a big plus with so many people and the views were fantastic. The kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry came stocked with all we needed for the weekend. Each bathroom had a good amount of linens so we didn't have to worry about cleaning them daily. The dock with the paddle board and swim ladder are a huge plus the family had so much fun out here. We definitely look forward to staying here again!

This was our second stay in this house and we enjoyed it just as much as the first time. The house is very comfortable and well stocked. There are definitely more beautifully manicured properties out there but you can’t beat the very private feeling that you get on the dock. I love where this house is located on the lake. It was another great visit.

This house has a great layout for two small families - we each had our own floor with our own rooms, bathrooms, tv/lounge areas. The dock was also nice because (unlike many others) it was fairly shaded until the afternoon, which really helped us to handle the near-100 degree August temps. We had a great time and will happily recommend this spot to others.
