Large unique home in the beautiful Ozark Mountains on the Kings River.
Choyiaâs Place on Kings River
This unique passive solar home was built by retired Air Force Lt. Colonel A.J. Smith and his wife Choyia in the early 90âs. They loved the area and wanted to share its beauty with their friends and visitors. We want to do the same. This 7000 sq.ft. home sits on the banks of the Kings River. It is great for canoeing, kayaking and fishing. The home has a very large kitchen and the dining area can seat 25 for meals. There are 5 bedrooms in the home, three have king beds and private baths. There is a bunk room that sleeps 6. The house sleeps 16 comfortably. There are 2 bar areas, a game room with pool table, game table and cozy seating area around fireplace. There is an exercise room with equipment and 6 person hot tub. A nice sun room is attached for morning coffee and a great place to read. There is a solarium with plants to bring the outside in. Choyiaâs place is 25 minutes from historic Eureka Springs. 20 minutes from the beautiful Dogwood Canyon and around 45 minutes from Branson Mo. and Silver Dollar City. If you want to float the river we can refer you to a local Canoe rental service. If you would like, we can provideva grocery pickup for you so you will have everything you need when you arrive. We want you to relax and have a wonderful time and come back again and again.
Owner was fabulous. Property was spotless. Layout suited our needs. Everyone was talking about visiting next year. Easy river access, great hot tub, quiet solar in which to relax.
This house was absolutely perfect for our family of 10 and our 2 labs. There was so much room to spread out. We enjoyed having the pool table, darts and hot tub to use. We swam in the river multiple tunes and access from the property was so convenient. Our host was amazing and very prompt. Highly recommend!!!
Our stay was great. The area is amazing amd Debbie was super helpful! We accidentally locked ourselves out and she was able to come and rescue us! This location is quiet and disconnected which was just what we needed!
My husband and I with our 3 kids and their spouses along with 7 grands booked for a long weekend. Suffice to say it wasnât long enough!!The house is amazing and Debbie was Johnny on the spot with her responses. We lived the fact that it was nestled back in the woods right on the river. Debbie has thought of everything you might need for your stay and supplied it abundantly. To say she has gone above and beyond to make your stay awesome is an understatement. We will definitely be staying here again.
Choyia is the perfect location for family or friends gatherings. It is exactly as advertised and even better. Debbie is an amazing hostess who greatly exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend this VRBO location. We plan to return as often as possible.
This was the best appointed VRBO that we have stayed at in years. There was plenty of room for people to spread out, but also big enough kitchen/ dining/ living area to accommodate all of us in one general area. We had a great time, the views were great and I would love to return in warmer weather to see the river. weather
We had so much fun staying here! We loved how secluded it was but close enough to run into town if we forgot something. I loved that we could just walk down to the river and the water was crystal clear. The views from the deck were spectacular. Would definitely recommend for a getaway.
Enjoyed the opportunity to stay in a house that allowed multiple family members to stay together with enough space for everyone. Thank you for a beautiful home!
This property exceeded our expectations. Plenty of space and you canât beat the location. The river was too low to float which was our plan but we caught plenty of fish just down from the house. Canât recommend enough. Thanks for the great weekend.
âAwesomeâ was the first impression of the house when we walked in. We were not disappointed at all. We would definitely return when we are in the area again.
The property was amazing. The pictures donât do it justice.The host thought of everything. Her communication was fantastic. The house was beautiful and had tons of extras! The sodas, fruit and snacks were a wonderful surprise. Highly recommend this property.
This property is amazing!! Itâs huge, fun, eclectic and had everything we needed for a perfect stay. We had a wedding party stay at the house and hosted two parties at the house, a wedding rehearsal dinner and wedding after party.
The host Debbie for this property is a wonderful lady who communicated with us perfectly, quickly and made our stay extra special with all the wonderful added items like coffee, fruit, bread and chocolate!! We will for sure be back!!!!
Perfect for small team retreat! Lots of room, beds, and sitting areas. Interesting history and items in the house. Great areas to walk and enjoy the beautiful outdoors and river. The balcony river views are great! Love that everything is labeled and taken care of! Of course the hot tub and game room are perfect for evening leisure time. I highly recommend this place for small teams or top executives to get away to for clear thinking and rejuvenation! Thank you Debbie for being a great host; very helpful and communicative!
This home was amazing! The pictures didn't do it justice. The location was wonderful, peaceful and quite. The outside landscaping of the yard was just as nice as the inside of the home. I loved the history of the couple that had owned this home. The decor was gorgeous, the hot tub was wonderful. I could go on and on...
The host was wonderful, enjoyed chatting. Also loved the snacks that was left for us. Everything you needed was at this home. Will DEFINITELY stay again.
Our first friends-cation was wonderful! We had 3 families and 2 more individuals stay in the house (total of 15) and we were SO comfortable. The house was HUGE and was the perfect house for kids to play hide-and-seek! The kitchen was very spacious and has everything you need. The beds were divine,..everyone complimented on how heavenly they slept. So many nooks and crannies to just relax and unplug! The Kings River (walking distance) was fabulous and a perfect spot to swim and float! We are already planning our next trip to return to the property next summer!! Love, love, love this property!
We stayed at Choyiaâs place last summer for our Friendâs River Vacation and loved it so much! We met some awesome locals who told us about the public river access points around the area and that we should bring our kayaks/canoes and float on our own! We knew we had to come back and do just that. So we DID and it was wonderful! Below Choyiaâs place is a public access point (walking distance) and we were able to float two days; Grandview bridge to Choyiaâs Place (7.3 miles) and then Choyiaâs place to the Romp Hole (4.9 miles)! It was a blast!! Choyiaâs place is nestled in the perfect place for those âsaidâ river adventures! The house is always amazing and spacious with tons of activities inside! Deborah is also a lovely hostess with the mostest with snacks and drinks upon arrival and superb communication! We always feel right at home, safe, and relaxed!! Choyiaâs Place is where itâs at!
