Cute place with the cutest back porch! The house was stocked with all the essentials and the short drive to the river was worth it as the fish were biting. We look forward to coming back soon!

This property, host, and overall stay was excellent. I give this five out of five stars without question. The home is very inviting. Everything is in perfect order. I especially enjoyed the top quality mattresses and bedding. I travel regularly. And these mattresses are as comfortable as they get even at a five star hotel.. The host answered all of my questions promptly. I would recommend this property for anyone staying in Cotter Arkansas. If I’m blessed to live another year, I will be renting this unit the first week of January in 2027. This place is the real deal.

We had a lovely 4 day weekend and this home is perfect & lovely. We enjoyed our stay because it’s only 4 blocks from The White River, nice relaxing deck, peaceful out back and it’s a lovely updated home. The price s very reasonable. We will return next year. It can comfortable sleep 4-6 people and I actually loved the house more than being down at the River.

Came to stay so I could learn to fly fish with Mr. McQuay. He was awesome and so was this property. Very well stocked, very clean and the host was very easy to communicate with. Will definitely recommend to anyone heading to Cotter

44th Anniversary trip!

This property was great for us. We were in Cotter to trout fish and the location was great. The house itself was very clean, well equipped, comfortable, well maintained, and felt like home. We would definitely stay there again. The check in and out process was easy and communications with the owners was very easy and always quick responses. Loved it!

Cozy Comfort

What a cute, cozy, comfortable and clean place to stay. We enjoyed our stay so much we asked to spend another night. The owners have gone above and beyond to make your stay a pleasant one. They have a large, beautiful deck to hangout on. The kitchen was very well stocked with anything you might possibly need. I will definitely stay here again when we are in the area. The best bang for your buck. I highly recommend this home.

What a wonderful stay! We're sad we didn't have to stay longer. The host reached out prior to our trip with a ton of information from what's available in the house to all of the local dining options. The large kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. There is a Keurig and also a drip coffee maker. The large fridge is there for stocking all of your snacks and dinner (if you want to cook!). Also, there is an ice maker (in case you forget to bring sone.) There were plenty of towels, items you may have forgotten (like body wash or band-aids), tons of board games, plenty of TV streaming options, easy door access, comfy furniture and the MATTRESS! Ugh we fell in love with that mattress. We walked around the town (it's hilly so be prepared) and the whole place felt safe and cozy. I can't recommend the house and the hosts enough. We'll definitely be back.
