“This house is wonderful! We had three families staying at the property, and it was ideal. Each family had their own space, and the common areas were nicely sized for being together. The decor and historical touches made it extra special. We had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. <br/>We had some communication difficulties with the property manager, which I will take up with them directly. Don't let it deter you from staying at this charming gem!”

The History of Tovey House
Located in the historic West Lafayette neighborhood, Tovey House was built in 1900 by notable citizen Lafayette Gregg, and is a unique home with rich historical significance to the University of Arkansas and Northwest Arkansas.
Henry D. Tovey was a highly influential and historic figure who was dubbed a ‘Renaissance man’ of the times. Recognized as one of America's top professional pianists in the early 1900s, Tovey served as the University of Arkansas’ music department chair (1908-1933).
Although Tovey made numerous contributions to the community, Arkansas and nationally, he is most remembered for writing the music for two beloved traditions at the U of A still played today: the U of A ‘Alma Mater’ and Razorback athletics ‘Arkansas Fight Song’.
During your stay, you can learn about Professor Tovey’s numerous significant contributions through the photo mural and historical documents!
University’s Old Main is a short walk from Tovey House. At noon or 5:00 pm each day, you can enjoy hearing the bells as they ring out the ‘Alma Mater’! It’s lovely, and the music was composed by our home’s early owner, Henry D. Tovey!
MTB-friendly - 0.2 miles from Razorback Greenway - walk, run or bike on trails running all the way to Bella Vista.
Walk to Dickson Street Entertainment District just a couple blocks away. The street is lined with restaurants, bars, live music and cultural venues, such as the Walton Arts Center.
