The Inn at Bella Vista

We stayed two nights this month while we caught up with friends and visited Crystal Bridges and nearby Bentonville. We were in the large master bedroom which had a private patio. The room was clean and very comfortable and it reminded me so much of staying at the home of old friends. That "home" feeling was exactly what we needed and wanted in a bed and breakfast. And speaking of breakfast, the morning breakfasts were outstanding! Beverly and her assistant innkeeper, Melanie, were so warm and helpful. We enjoyed watching the deer and the birds in the early evening. I would highly recommend the Inn for a quiet, restful stay.

The inn was built around a 19th century flour mill and features a lovely courtyard and creek surrounding the old mill wheel. Staff were friendly and helpful. The lobby area is attractive and welcoming (my husband was a big fan of the guest cookies) but some sections of the exterior could use a touch of paint or polish. Our king room was fairly standard but the bed was comfortable. While not lavish, the continental breakfast buffet (cereals, pastries, breads, fruit, coffee, tea, juice) was nicely presented. Our king room was fairly standard but the bed was comfortable.

This is the second time my husband and I have stayed at the Inn at Bella Vista. First time we stayed in the lovely Blue Room and this visit we stayed in the roomy Deluxe Queen Rose room! It was fabulous! The views are amazing and peaceful and watching the birds was the highlight of the room! So comfortable and warm. But the BEST thing about the Inn is the innkeeper, Beverly and her assistant Melanie. Both of them are the best hosts and my oh my can they cook!! The breakfasts were out of this world delicious and the coffee such a great wake me up! They are both so authentically friendly and we felt like family staying there. We hated to leave and are hoping that our future holds another visit to this lovely Inn! Thanks so much Bev and Melanie!!
