Before you book
Questions, answered
The short version: ride from the door, bring the crew, leave the dog at home. The long version is below.
Riding
How close are the trails?
The nearest mapped point of Tunnel Vision, the 25-mile loop of the Little Sugar system, is a 0.3 mi pedal from the front door (about 2 min). Bluebird Park and its trailhead are next door, and the lift-served OZ Trails Bike Park is 0.5 mi away. Distances were measured from the building on OpenStreetMap.
Where do bikes go at night?
Indoors. Wall racks line the hallways outside the lofts, and there is an elevator, so you can roll your bike up rather than carry it. Please keep bikes out of the beds and off the towels.
Is there somewhere to wash and fix a bike?
Yes. A bike wash station and a repair stand are shared by all eight lofts. Phat Tire Bike Shop is on the ground floor for anything bigger.
Can I rent a bike?
Phat Tire Bike Shop, on the ground floor, lists mountain, e-mountain, gravel and kids' bike rentals on its own website. It is a separate business, so check its site for current bikes, rates and hours and book with the shop directly.
Are e-bikes allowed on the trails?
The City of Bella Vista allows Class 1 e-bikes on its trails. Check each trail system's own rules before you ride; the trail guide links to them.
The lofts
How many people can stay?
Each two-bedroom loft sleeps six and each studio sleeps four. All eight lofts together sleep 40. Maximum occupancy: 6 guests. No unregistered overnight guests
Can we book more than one loft?
Yes. The groups page shows which lofts are open for your dates, adds up the total, and books them together in one checkout with one card. Each loft is its own reservation with its own confirmation and door code.
What time are check-in and check-out?
Check-in is from 4 PM and check-out is by 10 AM. Check-in is by keypad, and your door code is sent before you arrive. Unauthorized late checkouts incur a minimum $100 fee.
Is there a minimum stay?
Most dates have a 2-night minimum, and some busy dates need longer. The calendar on each loft's page shows the minimum for the arrival day you pick.
Are pets allowed?
No pets (unauthorized pet fee: $500 plus any cleaning or repair costs)
Can we smoke, or have a party?
No smoking or vaping anywhere in the building (smoking violation fee: $1,000). No parties or events. Quiet hours 9:00 PM to 8:00 AM. The hallways are shared with other guests, so please keep noise down
Are the lofts good for kids?
Yes. Every loft is listed as suitable for children and infants. The lofts are upstairs with an elevator, and the two-bedroom lofts have balconies, so keep an eye on small children.
Is there parking?
Yes, free in the lot in front of the building. It is shared with the bike shop and the café, so spaces are not reserved at busy times. Please do not park on the street: Bella Vista does not allow it.
What supplies are in the loft?
A starter supply of the essentials: toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, dish and laundry soap, and coffee. Linens and towels are provided. For longer stays, plan to pick up more as you go.
Are there security cameras?
Cameras monitor the outside of the building and the shared hallways. There are no cameras inside the lofts.
Booking and paying
What does the price include?
The total you see is the whole price: the nightly rate, the cleaning fee and the 13.5% lodging tax. Nothing is added at checkout.
When is my card charged?
Before you confirm, the checkout page shows exactly how much will be charged and when, from our booking system's payment schedule for your dates. Your card details go straight to Stripe, our payment processor, and never touch this website.
What if I need to cancel or change dates?
Any cancellation terms that apply to your stay are shown at checkout before you pay. If none are shown, or you want them in writing first, contact Weekender Management at (479) 364-6756 or info@weekendermanagement.com before you book. Changes after booking are handled by our team, not through this website.
Who am I booking with?
Weekender Management, a local Northwest Arkansas company that manages the lofts. Your reservation is made in the same booking system the company uses for all of its homes, and the team is available by phone and message during your stay, around the clock for anything urgent.
Do you have promo codes?
Sometimes. If you have one, enter it on the loft page under "Have a promo code?" and the price updates if it applies to your dates.
The area
How far is Bentonville?
Bentonville Square is 6.3 mi away, about 15 min by car without traffic. Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and The Momentary are a few minutes beyond it.
Which airport is closest?
Northwest Arkansas National Airport (XNA) is 17 mi away, about 30 min by car without traffic.
Can we use Bella Vista's lakes, pools and golf courses?
The trails are open to everyone. The lakes, pools and golf courses belong to the Bella Vista Property Owners Association, and we are happy to help arrange POA guest passes. The POA charges a fee and its office is closed on weekends, so ask at least five business days before your stay.
Is there food nearby?
Grindstone Coffee is in the building for coffee. Restaurants, a grocery store and more coffee are a short drive or pedal away around Sugar Creek Center and Cunningham Corner, and downtown Bentonville has a deep bench of restaurants.
