FAQs | The Backyard Billet

All reservations require short term rental insurance, which protects you and the property from accidental damages. This is a nominal fee managed by a 3rd party.

A cleaning fee is also charged as a part of all stays of $240. This is a one time fee which only covers cleaning after checkout. We are also happy to add a daily cleaning service for $150 per day for fresh towels, a clean kitchen, and beds made. Remember, you're not supposed to be working on your vacation!

All other fees are discussed during reservations and can be planned based on your needs.

Just eight miles from the Bentonville Square, we are in close proximity to everything NWA offers while affording the privacy and tranquility of a woodland escape in a large 60 acre property. A variety of pictorial scenes are available for any event: from a gorgeous wooden fenced pasture in a valley bordered by tree lined hills to a 8,000 square foot estate set atop a ridge or a small garden event in a cedar fenced sanctuary and large wooden greenhouse with a massive cedar picnic table that can easily accommodate 20.

That depends. Daytime parties larger than 30 guests, must be entertained outside in a tent with required necessities that include a rental potty. A tent that fits 100 guests can be set up to entertain guests outside of the house along with parking in the front of the house just beyond the drive and easily accessible for valet, but any larger events must be set up down in the horse pasture and use of the house is strictly with the primary guest and their pre-approved overnight guests.

Absolutely and the same rules still apply, but the wedding party that may not be staying overnight is welcome to get ready at the house and enjoy the home during the day.

Any weddings larger than a micro wedding of 30-50 guests, depending on the event's proposed itinerary of events, must be held outdoors. Several locations are already designed and ready for this type of setup and discussed in the previous FAQ.

The property sits on the famous gravel cycling route, Sugar Creek Road, so that will most likely forever and always be gravel. That said, it is one of the most picturesque roads in all of NWA traveling along the Little Sugar Creek wildlife corridor, the dirt road is wide and well maintained. The driveway to the estate is steep, we are in the highlands and it’s the only way to the top. With that, we have parking to accommodate 50 cars at the top as well as hundred plus parking in our pasture, but valets will be required.
