Blue Canoe Vacations

We stayed at the Groovy Nana house right on the lake and caught so many fish! The vintage decor was perfect and brought back so many childhood memories. We absolutely enjoyed every moment of our stay!

We enjoyed our stay at 4 Minute Ride VRBO. The owner did a very nice job renovating an old rancher and making it stylish and quite comfortable. The home is both roomy and well-appointed. The water bottles, coffee and snacks made us feel welcomed. It's just too bad the view out the back is of a neighbor's old shacks. 4 Minute Ride was a good value for us at this off-season time.

Staci is the most dishonest, unreasonable and unprofessional host I have ever worked with. Her property was pretty disappointing compared to the deceiving photos on the listing. It was very janky and definitely needs updates. Cheaply done, which is not reflected in the rates of the place. Most importantly, the doorknob was dysfunctional to the bedroom our 2 year old was staying in, which left him unsafely trapped and scared in the bedroom the first morning we woke up. We tried unlocking the door from the outside with a penny, which was not working. Of course it worked as expected on the other two doors in the house. After unsuccessfully being able to reach Staci, and our son getting even more frightened, we pulled the knob through the door. We later found that the inside lock was also dysfunctional - either direction the lock was turned, the knob remained locked. See videos below. Stacis response was quite shocking. No apology, no asking if our son was ok. Just right into how this falls outside of an accident and we didnt give her reasonable time to respond, so we will need to pay her. I dont know any other human who would argue reasonable time when a scared 2 year old is trapped in a room, especially an unfamiliar one. Thats pretty disgusting. When I asked if she watched the videos of her unsafe and non working doorknob, she would disregard the question. I asked her to call me to discuss the situation like two normal human beings should be able to do. She refused, as Im sure she would not be able to explain herself when posed the question about the videos. Ive never met a business owner who refused to speak over the phone about an unfortunate situation where a mutual resolution could have been had. Her spam emails urging for 5 star reviews is the only reason I can guess she is a super host on Airbnb. Hopefully people will research listings outside of Airbnb when they see its run by greedy, large scale property owners like this one. I sure wish I had.

Great experience in Rogers Arkansas! The cabin has everything you need and is very close to the lake. Fun trip

If you happen to book a room on air bnb that goes through this company, CANCEL IT IMMEDIATELY! Staci is the worst person I have ever worked with and refuses to do right by her customers. Furthermore, she lies and then leaves you reviews that are just plain untrue. I had to go through air bnb to resolve issues related with my stay with this terrible company. There are plenty of other great places to stay in Northwest Arkansas thats dont involve Blue Canoe. My advice, RUN!
