About this property

The Mockingbird Cottage - Charming little cottage for two in a perfect location!

In 2018 we renovated our small guest house that is walking distance to downtown, Compton Gardens, and Crystal Bridges. This small and quaint little cottage is our guest house on a perfect small town street. The front bedroom was upgraded, and the back bedroom was converted to a master bath, with a new shower and refurbished 100 year old claw tub. It will sleep two in the master bedroom. The new renovation has a tank-less water heater and stacked washer & dryer. Property includes WIFI and several premium channels for your entertainment. Enjoy your cup of coffee in the morning in the original kitchen nook of this comfortable little rental. Please be fully aware that this guest house sits on our main residence property, so you do share our yard. We want you to book us with full knowledge of the set up. The good news is we are close by if you need anything during your stay. We are sorry, but no pets allowed at this property.

Great Bungalow

The Bungalow has everything anyone can need. It was very clean. Located centrally to get to the square easily with a 5-minute walk. In a quiet neighborhood with comfortable furnishings and two TVs. I plan on staying here again next time I'm in town. It was exceptional

Perfect little bungalow

This little house was even better than the photos and listing description. It is very nicely decorated, super comfortable and in a peaceful neighborhood. Location was close to downtown and is an easy walk to coffee, restaurants, shopping and trails. The kitchen was fully modern and has everything you could possibly need. No thrift store utensils in this home. We had a wonderful stay.

Perfect getaway!

We can’t say enough good things about this cottage! We came for a weekend getaway and to visit friends. It is incredibly well-appointed and filled with anything you could need for a weekend stay. You could show up without anything and find just about anything you’d need. A lot of VRBO properties are sparsely furnished with only the bare necessities but not this one! We appreciated plenty of fluffy towels and washcloths, plenty of blankets and pillows, the coffee and tea selection, and snacks & drinks upon check in. Shampoo/conditioner/body wash/soap/makeup wipes etc were all provided. The coffee mugs & dishes are nice and feel substantial and not cheaply made almost disposable as many places offer. We mentioned we were celebrating our anniversary and came in to a small bottle of champagne and a sweet sign wishing us a happy anniversary. Check in was seamless & easy. The host was incredibly communicative and checked in with us several times. The cast iron bathtub is amazing and the bed was comfortable & cozy. It was spotless at check in and you can tell they really cleaned it well prior to our arrival. They’ve done an excellent job at making it feel homey and cozy but at the same time luxurious. It’s in a great location to check out all that Bentonville has to offer and also to hop on the interstate to go down to Rogers/Springdale/Fayetteville. We will absolutely be back the next time we come to NWA and want to feel spoiled.

Perfect Cute Cottage for an Escape!

This was our 2nd stay at the Mockingbird Cottage. We love it. It's super clean and comfortable. It's located just a few blocks from the town square near lots of stores & restaurants. And just about 10 minutes from Crystal Bridges. We walked everywhere! Also Kevin is so accommodating for my allergies and was able to wash the linens in non-scented detergent. Love the dining alcove & the cute back porch. We can't wait to go back. It's the perfect escape from our busy lives!

A Bentonville Gem

This was our 3rd time staying at the cottage if that tells you how wonderful the property is. The house has everything you would ever need. Pack your bags, book your trip, you won’t be disappointed! Its the perfect blend of quiet & quaint, yet walking distance to everything you would want…coffee shops, restaurants, museum, grocery store, etc.

Convenient and comfortable

This home was just what we were looking for: walking distance to downtown, everything you need in the kitchen, gathering and relaxing spaces, a good night’s sleep. Some bonuses that made our stay particularly enjoyable: the electric fireplace with an evening cup of tea and the very comfortable recliner (not the rocking chair in the picture!). This is a perfect place for 1-2 people, and it feels very spacious and cozy at the same time. We take our time to choose top-notch rentals when we travel, and this was one of the best. You can tell the hosts are experts in their hospitality. Well done!

About the host

Hosted by Kevin Kraning

Host profile image
My wife and I invested in downtown in 2012 as we began our LLC Downtown Bentonviille Cottages. We established our rental business when there were only a few rental options in the area. Since that time we changed our business model on the existing rentals, and have now opened this new little cottage. We understand what you want when you travel and plan ahead of needs. We didn't just open a room or house for rent, but have been in the business and learned over time what guests need. You will enjoy this little place, it's very special.

Why they chose this property

Unique 100+ year old renovation. You will feel this place is special from the minute you walk in. Great neighborhood, great location to everything, and a comfortable space to enjoy home away from home.

What makes this property unique

As our guest you can walk directly East in side streets and in three small town blocks you are at the entrance of Compton Gardens. Head south three blocks and you are at a Walmart for groceries and the downtown square. Enjoy walking to Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings and now Wednesday evenings. All of downtown restaurants are also in walking distance to the Little House.
