Welcome to The Spoke House
We're Brennan & Adriana, and we're thrilled to have you here. The Spoke House is more than a vacation rental — it's a private, meticulously designed haven crafted for adventure-focused families, multi-generational trips, and groups of friends exploring everything Bentonville has to offer.
You're just 5 minutes from the world-famous Coler Mountain Preserve trails and 6 minutes from vibrant Downtown Bentonville. Whether you're here to ride, relax, or a little of both — we've built this space for you.
This guidebook has everything you need for a seamless stay. If anything comes up, don't hesitate to message us — we respond within the hour.
