Special little place in a special little town!

Melinda and her property were outstanding. Genuinely impossible to beat the location here. We were in town for some concerts, but the highlight of the entire trip may have been walking to the Arkansas to dip our toes in the water on a blistering hot morning - magnificent.Lots of great little shops/restaurants downstairs or across the street. The antique shop actually had fun old things in it, the art boutiques were filled with the work of talented creators, the food scene was really surprisingly robust, and my favorite may have been long table, the coffee shop connected to the hotel and consignment store. The family running the place were actually the people pulling the espresso shots, and chatting with their patrons. Ya simply just don’t see that too often. Anyway, the property is just as advertised. After spending three nights here - If I had to find a gripe, it’s that the place can get stuffy. Yet the host provided several fans, which when combined with opening up the windows and getting air moving resolved it immediately so… can that even be a gripe? Champagne problems in my opinion, but it may not be ideal for people who’ve come to expect precision climate control. I’ll absolutely be back to spend a day flyfishing the Arkansas and trying the hot springs. Couldn’t be happier with my choice. Thanks again!

BV loft

Loved the location! Downtown BV was easily accessible. We enjoyed walking to shops, restaurants, and the river. We had plenty of room with nine adults spending the night at one point (sleeper pads were comfortable). Overall a great place to stay.

The perfect place on Main Street!!

About 7 friends and I stayed in the loft for our trip to BV and had the best time!! It is more spacious than the photos show!! I probably would not stay any later in the summer as there is no AC, but early spring/summer and later fall would be perfect. Right on Main Street and walking distance to so much. Our only complaint was that there was not much to cook with, no cooking sheets, no olive oil or anything. So if you are planning to cook I would bring your own items!

Family’s first taste of BV

I rented Melinda’s place for my adult children and their spouses. It was their first time in BV and we wanted them to be within walking distance to the Whipple Trail, Arkansas River, shopping, dining and my in-laws house. They loved it and embraced every opportunity to experience the magic of BV. Melinda was wonderful to work with. Her place is spacious and comfortable. I highly recommend it!

Clean and convenient on Main

Very spacious unit (grandparents, parents, and 9 and 13 year old). We could walk to just about everything (all shops, restaurants on Main, park, skate park, pump track, hiking trails, river, and everything on South Main). Unit was very clean and our host was extremely responsive.

Cool, funky, huge space in the middle of town. Walking distance to great restaurants and shops. Melinda was fabulous. We did not bring pets but what host have you ever heard of who will not only welcome your dog but also offer to babysit them if you can’t take them with you on an adventure? Had a great time! Highly recommend.

We enjoyed our stay here, and the location is phenomenal. The one thing I would mention is that there is no A/C, and it got very warm at night. But overall, it is a spacious and comfortable spot which our family enjoyed.

Wonderful accommodations, with historic charm right on Main Street. The beds were comfortable, two full bathrooms - with great showers and a location that can not be beat! It was wonderful home base for hiking and rafting, with fun options to eat just outside the "front door".

Nice loft in town.

This is a nicely renovated loft above a business on Main Street. Access is through the alley, and there is a single parking space there. However, there is a large public parking lot by the railroad tracks just down the alley. There are three nice bedrooms, all with queen size beds and one room has a twin, too. Very spacious place. Two of the bedrooms look out over the street. The loft is centrally located. We enjoyed walking to everything we did, including hiking over on Midway Hill, walking by the river, and hitting up the local coffee shops and restaurants. Great place, would definitely go back.
