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 foruninterrupted 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.

    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!

    The reason we booked this listing was for the location on the lake and the outdoor amenities. The outdoor space was very appealing and relaxing. Many outdoor seating options to enjoy the views of the lake. Michelle is a great host. She and her husband go above and beyond to make sure you enjoy your stay. They took us out on the lake in their pontoon on two nights. The indoor space was very clean and comfortable. The bed was very comfortable. My daughter's favorite part was the chocolate Michelle left on the kitchen table. We intend to stay at this location again in the future.

    I hate to write a good review, because I want the property available when I want to use it! I arrived towards dark and Michelle met me outside and walked me down to the entrance. She was pleasant and accomodating. The space itself is wonderful, smaller, but plenty of space for my purpose. It had a lot of amenities that I didn't even get to use during my limited time there, but that view! That alone was worth it.

    Michelle was an excellent host. She was very helpfull and even took us on a pontoon ride on the lake. The decor was awesome at the Green Door. Everything was furnished and very charming.The view was relaxing. The only drawback is that the steps to get to the cottage were not meant for elderly or people with bad knees. Otherwise I would give it a five star rating.

    This property is so clean, and has everything you need for your stay: basic kitchen supplies, small fridge and freezer, dishwasher, Keurig, washer/dryer, even a towel warmer and electric bidet toilet seat. There is a comfortable sofa in the living area, and the bed is very comfortable. The views are beautiful with a wall of windows facing the lake. Michelle is so kind and friendly. She is sure to answer any questions you might have and helped me bring my luggage down to the apartment.I stayed here just two nights to have some focused, quiet time to plan our homeschool year, and this place worked out perfectly and was a beautiful space to get some work done.

From the decor, to lighting, the perfect little mini kitchen, the fireplace, the overall effect is just perfect. That doesn't even count the beautiful views! You could see the water from every room, and we did. Owners are friendly and accommodating. This is close to everything too. Quick drive to trails, shops, and food. We cannot wait to come back when it's warm!
