What a great place!! My husband, son, and grandsons had a great time fishing from the backyard! The house was beautiful, well stocked, and had plenty of space for all 7 of us. Grandkids can't wait to go back again! We will definitely stay at this house again. The homeowner was very easy to reach and was great to work with.

This place was outstanding. Just stayed 4 nights with 6 high school buddies. its was our 38 year getting together for a long weekend. The location was perfect for outdoor activities with the White River 50-60 yards from the back patio that had awesome view of the river. We sat in the river every afternoon enjoying some fishing and the boat traffic of fishermen and floaters. The water was chilly but tolerable( think of your own ice plunge) the temp outside was over 100 deg.The house has perfect layout for large groups with great big kitchen - bar stools, large kitchen table, large living area, long deep main level back patio with plenty of seating for large groups, ceiling fans. bedroom were more than accommodating for our group along with bathrooms with (no waiting) - 2 large refrigerators to store all our food and BEVERAGES and ICE. large garage. secluded drive literally no traffic. the host, Carrie, was excellent. prompt responses, great information on the area for sight seeing, kayaking - which we did with Rileys Outfitters( family owned and super nice - flexible with float times and pickups) - restaurant recommendations etc... I do not book VRBO often myself - my wife handles that most of the time - and Carrie made this process can of corn. Cotter is great little town. I highly recommend The Sands cafe for breakfast( we ate there 3 days in a row. opens early and the food service was top notch . I would rate this a 10 if possible -

Weekend Trip
We stayed to get a lay of the land prior to another booking in July. It did not disappoint. The house/grounds were perfect. The house had anything you could think of from linens, kitchen items, kayaks, two refrigerators, horse shoes, fire pit, and fishing, This is a large house (4BR) that is perfect for a larger family. Carie was extremely helpful and gave recommendations for other services as well

Fantastic Stay on the White River
Very nice home on a spacious lot with river frontage. Plenty of space, comfortable beds, and river access. Very relaxing stay. Even saw bald eagles while sipping our morning coffee! Host was available for any questions and allowed us to use their personal kayaks. Already planning out next visit to this property.
