Welcome to Once Upon A Trail! We're more than just a bikers paradise, we're here to please all. We feature a dedicated Theater Room, Private Hot Tub, Game Room with ping pong & air hockey, Fire Pit, and Bike-In/Bike-Out from the backyard. Kingsdale Rec Center is less than a mile away for you to enjoy golfing, swimming, tennis, basketball, mini golf, pickleball & more. Here for the lakes? We're .5 mi from a Lake Windsor boat ramp! We really have it all at Once Upon A Trail. Come see for yourself!
As you arrive at the property you'll find plenty of parking in the driveway and a 2 car garage for vehicles or bike storage.
Walking into the home through the front door you're greeted with a warm yet modern vibe. The large living room has lots of seating for your entire group and a smart TV for streaming from your own accounts. Open to the dining area you'll find a large table that seats 8 people and then an additional 4 barstools at the kitchen bar top. There are large sliding glass doors in the dining that lead out to the covered deck with cozy patio furniture for you to relax and enjoy this Arkansas weather. From the upper deck you can see the mountain bikers zipping by on the Landline trail directly behind the house. Coming back inside, adjacent to the dining is the fully stocked kitchen where you have plenty of counter space and cabinets to prepare a delicious meal. We also have a pantry for additional food storage.
Beyond the kitchen you'll find our dedicated office space with a gorgeous view out the bay windows of large mature trees and the backyard area. From the office you can access the laundry room or garage. The garage is oversized and has a workshop area, tooling station and bike storage. It also has it's own dedicated door to the outside with a smart lock that allows you to bring your dirty bikes straight in from the outside instead of having to go through the house.
Heading back inside, you'll also find two bedrooms and two bathrooms on the upper floor. The primary bedroom is beautifully decorated, has a king size bed, a smart TV for streaming, large walk-in closet, and an en-suite full bath. Bedroom 2 is across the hallway with a plush queen size bed, smart TV, closet, and full bathroom accessed from the hallway. This hallway bathroom, like the others, has gorgeous quarts countertops, modern light fixtures and plenty of fresh linens for you.
Now we venture downstairs for the real fun! The stairs walk out to the open game room equipped with an air hockey table, ping pong table, cozy lounging furniture, trail maps so you can map tomorrows ride, and sliding glass doors that walk out to the lower patio. On the lower patio you'll find a charcoal grill (bring your own charcoal/lighter fluid), your private hot tub, bike wash station, and fire pit area! If you're headed out on the trails, we have a connector from our property to the Landline Trail directly off of the backyard. This is entertainment central! You're guaranteed to not ever be bored! But wait there's more...
As we head back inside we're going to check out the theater room which is completely blacked out for prime TV, Show, Movie, and/or Sports watching time! The projector is super user friendly and has a Roku connected to it so you can stream from it just like you would a smart TV. We've got theater seating in here for you as well as popcorn and a microwave so you don't have to leave the theater to refill your popcorn bowl.
Last but not least we have 2 additional bedrooms downstairs. Bedroom 3 is the bunk room which has 2 bunk beds and a total of 4 twin size beds. This room is perfect for the kids to camp out or for a bunch or friends to enjoy close quarters for a few days! We have a smart TV in the bunk room as well as large walk in closet. Bedroom 4 is across the hallway and is setup with a plush queen size bed, smart TV, closet, and full bathroom accessed from the hallway.
