Kitchen & Dining
The luxury kitchen is fully equipped for everything from morning coffee to a full dinner party. You'll find it stocked better than most home kitchens.
☕ Coffee Setup
We take coffee seriously — and so does Bentonville. Your stay includes a complimentary 10 oz bag of Onyx Coffee Lab beans, roasted right here in NWA. Onyx was named the #1 coffee shop in the world in 2025 and is a perennial Good Food Award winner. K-cups are also available for quick cups.
We chose the Fellow Aiden precision brewer specifically because its guided brew function makes cafe-quality coffee effortless for guests. The Aiden walks you through every step on its display — grind size, water amount, ratio — so you get a perfect cup every time without guessing. Just grind your beans with the Fellow grinder (use whatever setting you prefer), add them to the filter basket, fill the reservoir, and pick a brew profile. The machine handles the rest.
🍳 Appliances
Stove & Oven — both electric. The stovetops are induction, so use the provided cookware (magnetic-compatible).
Dishwasher — detergent pods under the sink. Run after heavy use.
Microwave — above the stove.
Blender, toaster, kettle — on the counter or in the lower cabinets.
Washer & Dryer — located in the hallway closet. Detergent provided.
🍽️ Dining
The dining table seats six and sits next to windows overlooking the patio and hot tub. You'll find a full set of dishes, silverware, wine glasses, and all cooking essentials — pots, pans, baking sheets, cutting boards, and more.

Local Recommendations
Bentonville punches way above its weight. Here are our favorite spots with honest commentary from your hosts, Adriana & Brennan.
🎈 Kid-Friendly
The absolute best indoor spot for kids. A massive, interactive children's museum featuring a Hershey's Lab, a tinkering hub, and a climbable canopy.
A fantastic outdoor space with floating boardwalks over wetlands, a playground, and an archery range. It's right next to the municipal airport, so kids can watch small planes take off and land.
Located right on the Bentonville Square. The museum is quick and interesting, but the real draw for kids is the Spark Café at the end, which serves classic, incredibly affordable ice cream.
Depending on the season, this spot near the square is either a fantastic splash pad for cooling off in the summer or an outdoor ice-skating rink in the winter.
🖼️ Must-Sees
A world-class art museum nestled in a ravine. The architecture is stunning, general admission is free, and the sprawling outdoor sculpture trails are incredible to explore.
A world-class trail system that weaves right through town and around Crystal Bridges. It features everything from paved paths to expert downhill runs, making it an essential stop for cycling enthusiasts or a scenic family walk.
Contemporary art, live music, and food — Crystal Bridges' satellite space in a converted cheese factory.
Over 300 acres of world-class mountain biking trails for all skill levels, plus beautiful walking paths. A destination that puts Bentonville on the global cycling map.
A coffee shop accessible only by trail, nestled in the middle of Coler Mountain Preserve. Enjoy fresh coffee and snacks by the creek surrounded by mountain bike trails and native landscaping.
🍽️ Must-Eats
Located at the vibrant 8th Street Market, they serve up some of the most vibrant, authentic, and delicious Mexican food in Northwest Arkansas, with ingredients sourced from their own local farm.
Essential, unpretentious, and phenomenal wood-fired Arkansas BBQ. The brisket and ribs are incredible, and the casual atmosphere is universally welcoming.
For a memorable dinner, this stunning restaurant is located inside a beautifully restored historic church just off the square, offering high-end, innovative American cuisine.
A phenomenal spot for Japanese cuisine. Incredibly fresh cuts — from melt-in-your-mouth otoro and kanpachi nigiri to fantastic sea bass hand rolls and classic favorites. A great choice for a high-quality dinner.
Located on SW 14th Street right next to Osage Park, this family-friendly brewery features an expansive outdoor patio, a great selection of food trucks, and even a kid's pump track and play area. Adults can relax with a craft beer while the little ones stay entertained.
If you're coming straight off the trails at Slaughter Pen or just exploring downtown, this bike-themed local staple serves excellent wood-fired pizzas, hearty sandwiches, and great drinks in a laid-back, vibrant atmosphere that captures the heart of Bentonville's cycling culture.
An absolute must for coffee fans. Located right on the Square, this beautifully designed cafe was named the #1 coffee shop in the world in 2025 and serves award-winning roasts and excellent pastries.
A dedicated gluten-free, farm-to-table restaurant with a hyper-seasonal menu reflecting local farmers. Three-time James Beard nominee for "Best Chef: South." Innovative, thoughtful, and beautifully executed.
Modern Asian cuisine just off the Square — house-made dim sum, fresh sushi, Chinese-inspired dishes, and the largest wine portfolio in NWA. Cosmopolitan vibes with illuminated cherry blossom trees draping over diners' tables.
Fresh pasta, housemade mozzarella, and gelato — all made daily. An intimate Italian experience with an extensive wine list. One of the highest-rated restaurants in Bentonville.
Creative Southern cuisine inside the 21c Museum Hotel. Art-filled atmosphere with a menu that blends Southern comfort and modern flair.
Located in 8th Street Market, serving authentic Japanese ramen with an Ozark twist. Chef-driven bowls made with locally sourced ingredients, plus great bao buns and dumplings.
Upscale brunch and dinner right on the tarmac of Bentonville's municipal airport. Watch small planes take off while you eat — a truly unique Bentonville experience.
Authentic South Indian cuisine — a refreshing departure from the typical Northern Indian fare. Crispy dosas, rich curries, and standout seafood dishes like fish baked in banana leaf.
A reliable go-to for Thai favorites — curries, stir-fries, pad thai, and pho. Great for a casual, flavorful meal.
Located in 8th Street Market, this locally-sourced daytime eatery serves breakfast and brunch with generous portions. Seasonal pancakes, avocado toast, and excellent coffee (they use Onyx).
Scratch-made Southern breakfast and brunch — signature buttermilk biscuits, sausage gravy, and powdered-sugar beignets. Family-owned and locally beloved. Nearly everything can be made gluten-free.
Chicago-style deep-dish and thin-crust pizza with a game area for kids and an adult game room with pool tables and big screens. A solid, casual family spot.
Hand-crafted subs with premium meats and slow-roasted hand-pulled turkey. Their "Bobbie" was voted the greatest sandwich in America. Great for a quick, hearty meal.
