Our guesthouse was recently mentioned on a website (onlyinyourstate) as one of the top places to stay in the state of Arkansas.

**** THINGS TO NOTE ****
There are two flights of stairs to the main level, a total of 28 steps (13 + 3 + 12). While about 98% of our guests have had no problem with this and some have actually enjoyed the additional exercise, a few of our guests with knee issues have stated that they wish they had read the description thoroughly.

The Castle by the square is a modern Victorian fit with a turret, a balcony and a roof top terrace located 2 blocks from Bentonville Square. The Guesthouse is within a 5 minute walk from the downtown Square, a whole variety restaurants with different cuisines, 5 coffee shops and a Walmart Neighborhood grocery store. You will be within a 3 minute bike ride from the popular Slaughter Pen trail-head to enjoy mountain biking or choose to hike the beautiful trails around Crystal Bridges.

The Guesthouse has a private garage bay. The garage has bike hooks and a mounted bike maintenance stand. You will have two parking spaces (garage bay and in front of the garage) with an additional spot upon request.

There are two flights of stairs to the living areas. The first flight of stairs leads into a game room with two sleeper sofa beds that open up into double beds and a double bed. This floor has a TV, board games, a wet bar and full bath with a washer and dryer. There is a nice wood bar that can be used as a standing work space or a place to house drinks and snacks.

The next flight leads to the main living area with two bedrooms, the kitchen and a balcony. This floor is the main living space. Natural light fills this room that houses a farm island/table, great for family gatherings. A full kitchen is available to make home cooked meals. There is a balcony right off the kitchen with ample seating to enjoy local morning coffee that is provided. There is also a grill on the balcony to do some outdoor cooking. Two private bedrooms, one with an en suite are located on this floor as well. USB outlets in every room for charging electronic devices.

After this floor, there's a final set of stairs that lead to a rooftop terrace to hang out at. The roof top terrace is a great place to do your sun salutations or chat the night away as the sun sets.

Guest access:
Access to the Guesthouse is via the Gate on the left side of the leftmost garage bay. The entry code will be provided before your arrival. There are two parking spots provided, one in the leftmost garage bay and the second spot behind that bay. A third spot can be made available on request.

Great Location for Family bike trip
We had a wonderful time staying at the castle! The owners were friendly and welcoming and the location was just what we were looking for. The multi levels of the unit make it easy for people to have their own space and gather when they want. We'd love to come back!

Disliked: Cleanliness
For the same price as a high end hotel, I expected better. 1. Couldn't get the garage door opener to work. 2. Path to the door is stepping stones, no sidewalk, so prepare to carry your luggage. 3. Unwashed dirty towels in the laundry (assume from the previous guest) 4. Clean laundry in the dryer. 5. No place to unpack your clothes, no dressers, no shelves in the bedrooms, just a closet to hang things. 6. No space around the sink for toiletries. 7. The sink is set under the medicine cabinet, so you can't shave with your face over the sink, so water goes on the floor. 8. No desk area to catch up on work. 9. The island has no plug ins, so it's not a useful work area either. 10. You can sleep 10 in the unit, but don't try to gather 8 adults to sit down and chat. 2nd floor room is divided and the couches all point to the TV. On the third floor, the seating area is as tight as a restaurant booth. Everyone has to get up when any one needs out. 11. Third floor seating (when it's just two) doesn't lend to watching TV. 12. Had to call the host to find a broom (was locked away). 13. No extra paper towels without calling the host. 14. Outdoor patios weren't cleaned. (Even though it was 50 degrees in December). 15. Blinds should be added as I was visible to all walking to the kitchen at night. 16. The blinds that existed were cut the width of the window and then hung on the outside of the window well. They should be hung inside, when cut that small to keep the daylight out.

This castle is in a great location and was very clean and well stocked. I wish we could have taken advantage of the rooftop. Great hang out spot, but it was raining while we were there.

Wonderful property, charming town
Wonderful stay! My friend and I met up here, from different parts of the country, for a short vacation. Bentonville is a charming town and our host graciously gave us a little tour, pointing out favorite restaurants and places of interest. The “castle by the square” was ideal (except there were a couple of flights of stairs) - clean, spacious, excellent location. Truly a gem and we would love to return!

Fun weekend in Bentonville
We enjoyed our stay here. It is a separate guest house but we had 100% privacy. Very nice well equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds and a great kid room with multiple beds. The open air patio was lovely as well. Finally it is walking distance to the square downtown. Would highly recommend and stay here again.
