Camellia A living room with the Simpsons arcade cabinet and bikes stored on the wall
Bentonville, Arkansas
403 Camellia Drive
10 Jonquilla Way

A place at the trailhead.

We're Ryan and Casey. Our homes sit a block from the Slaughter Pen trails, close enough to ride out of the garage and onto the system. Bring the bikes and the dog.

More than 330 guests have reviewed these homes on Airbnb, and the average is 4.8. We live a few miles away, keep the homes ourselves, and answer every message ourselves.

One block from the ride

Ride everywhere.

The Slaughter Pen trail system starts a block from the door and connects to Handcut Hollow, the Back 40, Blowing Springs, and Little Sugar. Downtown Bentonville and Crystal Bridges are a short ride as well. Every home has wall-mounted bike storage, a repair stand, and a wash station outside, so a muddy bike never comes through the kitchen.

If you're in town for work, you get a real kitchen instead of a hotel breakfast bar, fast fiber optic WiFi that holds a video call, a desk to take it at, and room to park the truck. The Walmart campus is a few minutes away. Monthly stays with utilities included are available through Furnished Finder, and we'll sort out the rate by email.

The Roll Out

The other side of the Camellia duplex, easy to spot by the purple door. Three bedrooms and two and a half baths. Roll the bike in and hang it on the garage rails, wash it off at the station when you get back, and walk to coffee in the morning. A covered patio with a grill, a fenced yard, fast WiFi, a full kitchen, and a washer and dryer. A simple place to land, kept clean and stocked by the people who own it.

One block from the Slaughter Pen trails. Walk to downtown Bentonville. Five minutes to Crystal Bridges. Pets welcome; the yard is fenced.

The Trail House and the Hideaway

Two more three-bedroom homes, two blocks from Camellia on a wooded cul-de-sac, with decks over a ravine where deer show up most mornings. Both sides have a full kitchen, a washer and dryer, a repair stand and a wash station, fast fiber optic WiFi, and a place to work. The Trail House has a white shaker kitchen and a dedicated workspace. The Hideaway has sage green cabinets, a butcher block bar, and a bedroom set up as an office. Monthly stays with utilities included are available on either side.

10 Jonquilla Way is also for sale as a working short-term rental. See the listing.

What guests say

In their words.

Trail and town

Where we send people.

We live here, so this is the short list, all tested.

Ride

Start on the Slaughter Pen trails a block from the door, then follow the connections into Handcut Hollow, the Back 40, Blowing Springs, and Little Sugar. Rinse the bike at the wash station when you get back.

Eat and drink

Coffee at Onyx downtown. Breakfast at The Hive at 21c. Dinner at The Preacher's Son or Conifer. Ask us for the current favorite; it changes.

See

Crystal Bridges is five minutes away and free to enter. Plan two hours, more if it rains. Downtown Bentonville and the Momentary are a walk or a short drive.

Work

Every home has fast fiber optic WiFi and a place to take a call. The Walmart campus is minutes away, and off-season rates make a long work stay easy to justify.

Before you book

Where exactly are the homes?

Camellia A and B are the two sides of a duplex at 403 Camellia Drive in central Bentonville, a block from the Slaughter Pen trailhead and a walk from downtown. Jonquilla A and B are at 10 Jonquilla Way, about two blocks from Camellia and also a block from the trails. That building is for sale and still hosting. You get the exact door code after you book.

Yes, every home. Nearly four in ten of our guests bring one. The Camellia yards are fenced. The Jonquilla yards back to the woods without a fence.

Can I stay a month or longer?

Is the WiFi good enough to work?

Yes. Every home has fast, reliable fiber optic WiFi and a place to take a video call.

Can I book direct instead of through Airbnb?
