Simple Pleasures - Bella Vista, Arkansas

Simple Pleasures is an enchanting hidden gem that captivated me from the moment I stumbled upon it. Curiosity led me to meet the extraordinary and warm-hearted owner, Mr. Ken Miner, who graciously took me on a captivating tour of the property. Stepping into Simple Pleasures was like stepping into a time capsule, transporting me to a bygone era filled with wonder and nostalgia.

The collection of cars is nothing short of extraordinary, each one telling a unique story that fascinated me. As I strolled through the manicured lawns, I was greeted by the soothing sound of a waterfall, enhancing the natural beauty of NWA. The sprawling green open spaces and tree-lined surroundings added a touch of serenity and tranquility to the atmosphere.

With every step, I could feel myself being transported back in time, as if the props themselves were whispering tales of their past. Simple Pleasures holds an air of magic and charm that is truly captivating.

I am eagerly anticipating the opportunity to celebrate an important event with my family at Simple Pleasures. I am certain that this extraordinary place will provide the perfect backdrop for creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime.

Beautiful woodsy setting with a waterfall beside a large pavilion. Soothing sound of waterfall and leaves rustling in the breeze. Calm and relaxing. Our cabin was large, well appointed and the kitchen well stocked .

After Covid caused us to cancel our annual church Music Department party for the last 2 years, we returned to Simple Pleasures this year. It was a great time for everyone!
Ken and Elaine always do a great job of exceeding our expectations. The staff is friendly, there is so much to look at and enjoy from the unique building, the vintage cars and the beautiful grounds.
The food is always great and there is plenty of it!
I appreciate the willingness of everyone at Simple Pleasures to work with me to make this annual celebration of our music department a night to remember!

Unique and spacious venue filled with nostalgia and a wonderful car collection. The indoor and outdoor spaces make it a great choice for a celebration regardless of the weather. Their BBQ is pretty tasty too! Prices are reasonable compared to other venues and there's very little decorating you have to do. We provided a few items to personalize the space and all that was completed in less than an hour. With so many spaces the teenagers in our group were able to find a spot, the younger kids enjoyed the outside games and toys and everyone enjoyed the car barn tour. The staff kept everything running smooth and kept us on track.

We had a family reunion at Simple Pleasures this past weekend.  It far exceeded our expectations!  After touring the venue several months ago, I went home and told my husband all about it.  He said it sounded great but it was more than we had planned to spend on the reunion.  After touring other venues, I finally decided to just bite the bullet and book it.  Boy, am I glad we did!  When my husband walked in, he was floored!  He said he could spend several days there and still not see everything there was to see.  He said I had definitely undersold the place when I was describing it to him.  Everyone had the best time and said it was the best reunion ever!  We loved that there was a large indoor space as well as a very large outdoor space.  With two waterfalls on the property, we had no trouble finding a place for a family picture.  Ken gave everyone a tour of the property and car barn and we were all in awe.  Considering the tour, the food, the ice cream bar, as well as the ambience.....it was a great value!  Now that it's over, I can't believe I ever hesitated!  We will definitely use again next time it is our time to host the reunion!  Thanks Ken & Elaine!!

We had my husband's 80th Birthday party at Simple Pleasures on October 15th 2022. To say Ken and Elaine Miner, their staff and the event center itself are all awesome, is an understatement. They made the planning and executing as stress free as possible. The venue is about the best we have ever experienced and has so many unique features. With so much to see and do, everyone was well entertained. Kids and adults alike all said "This is the best birthday party they have ever been at!"

The food was great and we had compliment after compliment on it. The ice cream bar was yummy. The grounds tour and car barn were a big hit, I highly recommend this extra feature.

I cannot even pick out a favorite feature, because the whole place is so fascinating. But if I had to, I would say that it would be Ken, Elaine and their staff. I can honestly say that they were a dream to work with and all were so helpful, friendly and nice.

We are beyond happy with how our event went and can HIGHLY recommend Ken and Elaine Miner, Simple Pleasures and the entire event center and staff. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.
