Great place for a large group of bikers, golfers, museum goers, families, etc. Beautiful Lake Avalon can be seen from the living room on both levels, both of which have a fireplace and a kitchen. The whole house has been updated with new floors, new paint and an expanded kitchen. Enjoy easy stone step access to the water's edge just 20 yards from the covered back porch. The screened balcony has 180 degree lake views. Amenities include an 8' x 24' floating swimming and fishing dock, gas and charcoal grills, porch furniture for lounging, fire pit with seating and 2 kayaks to paddle down the no wake lake to the park with a sandy beach, horseshoe pits, volley ball, and more. Perfect for small family reunions, getaways, shopping weekends, golf outings, tennis tournaments and biking/hiking adventures. Whether you are coming for an International Mountain Bike Convention, a visit to Crystal Bridges, or day trips in the Ozark Mountain area, this place will be new favorite your home away from home.

Located just 1 hr 30 min from Branson, 45 minutes from Eureka Springs, 35 minutes from Fayetteville and 15 minutes from Bentonville, it is the perfect retreat for Razorback games, Craft Fairs (October and May) , Bikes Blues and BBQ Rallies (September), and Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art events . Silver Dollar City, Gentry Wild Wilderness Drive through Zoo, The Passion Play, and Ozark Mountain Hiking trails. These options and more make perfect day trips. Enjoy the wonderful local restaurants and pubs in downtown Bentonville and Rogers with shopping nearby at Pinnacle Mall and other local vendors.

In addition to the 4 bedrooms that include 2 queen beds, one king and one twin trundle and bunk beds, the upstairs living room has a hide-a-bed sofa (queen) and a single pull out bed in the ottoman which can be moved to the screened in porch on a nice night. The downstairs living room has a futon that lays back to accommodate 1 adult or 2 children. In the downstairs kitchen, 3 waffle irons and electric skillet are available for a breakfast gathering . Kids can watch a movie in the trundle room while adults enjoy an outdoor fire and stargazing. A pack and play and a baby feeding seat is available. NOTE: The driveway is fairly steep but easy to get used to. In order to have a short walk to the lake you have to have a steeper driveway to negotiate. There are 2 parking spaces along the road for those less adventurous.

Beautiful and relaxing
We had a wonderful time at Moon Dance Cottage. The lake is beautiful and steps away from the cottage. The fire pit was where we spent our time in the evenings, laughing and reminiscing about days gone by. It was just a short drive to things we wanted to do locally. Clean, comfy and relaxing. Thank you Penny!

Our Stay
Everything was really nice. The only thing that could have been better is the kitchen. The dishes were really dated and worn. There was only one sheet pan and had to borrow a few from neighbors. We ran out of trash bags as well. Other than that the house was great.

Well appointed lake house
It was too chilly to swim or SUP but the lake house is perfect for relaxing and unwinding. Fully stocked, lots of resources provided for things to do in the area. We had a great time!

About the host

Host profile image
We love hanging out with our family here at the lake. Perfect place to gather your family and friends. Here's hoping that you can enjoy some great times and relaxation in our lake house.

Why they chose this property

This house has the best lake access around. So close that you can sit on the back porch and supervise the swimmers. Downstairs kitchen is great for a day of snacking and swimming. Two fireplaces make it a nice place to hang out in winter also. Comfortable, simple, fun. Outdoor fire pit makes it like GLAMPING!

What makes this property unique

Really 2 separate spaces if you close off the bottom portion. Something for everyone if you stay in and so much to do if you go out!
