Choyia’s Place on Kings River

This unique passive solar home was built by retired Air Force Lt. Colonel A.J. Smith and his wife Choyia in the early 90’s. They loved the area and wanted to share its beauty with their friends and visitors. We want to do the same. This 7000 sq.ft. home sits on the banks of the Kings River. It is great for canoeing, kayaking and fishing. The home has a very large kitchen and the dining area can seat 25 for meals. There are 5 bedrooms in the home, three have king beds and private baths. There is a bunk room that sleeps 6. The house sleeps 16 comfortably. There are 2 bar areas, a game room with pool table, game table and cozy seating area around fireplace. There is an exercise room with equipment and 6 person hot tub. A nice sun room is attached for morning coffee and a great place to read. There is a solarium with plants to bring the outside in. Choyia’s place is 25 minutes from historic Eureka Springs. 20 minutes from the beautiful Dogwood Canyon and around 45 minutes from Branson Mo. and Silver Dollar City. If you want to float the river we can refer you to a local Canoe rental service. If you would like, we can provideva grocery pickup for you so you will have everything you need when you arrive. We want you to relax and have a wonderful time and come back again and again.

    The house is huge and beyond equipped. Everything was thought of in the kitchen and the cabinets are labeled so you can find what you need. It’s just up the hill from the Kings River with easy access to launch or take out kayaks. We floated down to Romp Hole access with an easy 10 minute dirt road shuttle back. This was a guys trip with only four guys so we all had a bedroom and full bath to ourselves. The notes say it sleeps 16 but its probably more like 20 with a a lot of kids. Would be a great setup for 3 or 4 families!

    We arrived for our high school senior class trip. There was enough space that we weren’t on top of each other. The mugs loved the games and hot tub. All in all, it was a great experience and will be a source of memories for years to come.

    The house and property are very unique in a good way, and the direct access to the river is a nice bonus.Our kids loved everything about it. Debbie is a great host and we certainly recommend this property to other families.

    There is a lot of steps, but it didn't stop our youngest at age 3. The kitchen had everything. Plenty of extra stuff as well such as paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags. Our whole family loved this house.

    We had a great stay. Home was beautifully decorated for Christmas. Plenty of room for our families staying there. Our host was very accommodating with requests. We did not, however, that the water pressure was low. She is fixing that after our departure but was willing to do it during our stay if the problem was bad enough. Again, loved this property. It was very quiet area. It was a joy to sit outside on one of the many decks and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

    We enoyed the space and access to the river. The kitchen and dining areas were nice for our large family. The house needs a good thorough cleaning (dusting light fixtures and cobwebs on the ceilings). There was VERY low water pressure so even though there are plenty of bathrooms, we had to only use one at a time in order to have enough pressure to shower. The host was very responsive and helpful.

    We had a great time. Debbie is a great host and we had everything we needed and liked the house layout so everyone could be connected but not disturbing others with the different games we had going on.

    Great stay for our large group of Harley riders. Need to mention that this house is almost a mile down a gravel road for those who visit on 2 wheels. Not the best situation, especially after a rainfall. This doesn't take away from the accomiations and wonderful host.

    This house was absolutely perfect for our family of 10 and our 2 labs. There was so much room to spread out. We enjoyed having the pool table, darts and hot tub to use. We swam in the river multiple tunes and access from the property was so convenient. Our host was amazing and very prompt. Highly recommend!!!

    My husband and I with our 3 kids and their spouses along with 7 grands booked for a long weekend. Suffice to say it wasn’t long enough!!The house is amazing and Debbie was Johnny on the spot with her responses. We lived the fact that it was nestled back in the woods right on the river. Debbie has thought of everything you might need for your stay and supplied it abundantly. To say she has gone above and beyond to make your stay awesome is an understatement. We will definitely be staying here again.

    This was the best appointed VRBO that we have stayed at in years. There was plenty of room for people to spread out, but also big enough kitchen/ dining/ living area to accommodate all of us in one general area. We had a great time, the views were great and I would love to return in warmer weather to see the river. weather

    Choyia is the perfect location for family or friends gatherings. It is exactly as advertised and even better. Debbie is an amazing hostess who greatly exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend this VRBO location. We plan to return as often as possible.

    The house was just as described. You will never find a more well stocked vacation home. Things we brought were already there so we just shared and left some things that we had brought. The owner answered all questions in an extremely fast response. If there was one negative it would be how rural the home was to attractions that we planned daily. That however was to no fault of the owner. We truly enjoyed the home and it was very accommodating for 14 adults and 2 children.

    This property exceeded our expectations. Plenty of space and you can’t beat the location. The river was too low to float which was our plan but we caught plenty of fish just down from the house. Can’t recommend enough. Thanks for the great weekend.
