Our Happy Place

Our stay was so good! We love this property and are already planning our 3rd visit! The house is perfect! We love everything about it! Sandy is amazing and is just a phone call away if you need anything. The river was too high for wade fishing outback this time, but our fishermen went to Cotter and all three of them hit their limit! Needless to say we had the very best fish tacos I have ever had! There is just something about eating fish caught that day!Sandy, we are looking forward to many more trips to “Our Happy Place.”

Peaceful and perfect for families

We came to Flippin to relax, kayak, and do a little fishing. We had 4 adults, a teen, and an 11 yr old. This home was the perfect set up. We had plenty of room to let the kids play around and the adults relax. Sandy was a great host from check-in to check- out. She made sure we had everything we needed, answered questions we had about the river access, and even came out to make sure everything was okay after a storm. We have only good things to say about our stay!

Eclipse Trip

My wife and I along with our 3 kids, my sister, her husband and their 2 kids, and my parents, all met here for a sat-tuesday long weekend with the monday eclipse being the highlight. We wanted somewhere a little off the beaten path and this spot was perfect! Large, clean house, plenty of room to accommodate the 11 of us. So very peaceful and quiet. Beautiful view right on the white river, several bald eagle spotting's every day we were there so bring some binoculars if you have them. Kitchen stocked with all the necessities, a grill out back, cornhole, the girls enjoyed the rock painting garden, firepit was great. Walk in river access was very nice. Love that there was not much else around the property but a short 20-40 min drive to stores if needed and some good hiking. Would recommend the Indian Rock Trail hike, it was about a 45 min drive from the property. Overall, loved the place with plenty of privacy and quiet surroundings. And the eclipse was amazing of course!! Sandy was excellent host and had great communication with anything we needed. Would definitely come back!!

The River Retreat

As last year, the house was perfect for our group. The weather cooperated this year, so we were able to more fully enjoy the property playing Baggo and enjoying the fire pit and smores at night. The river view is spectacular. I could just sit on the deck or gazebo and enjoy the running waters. Excellent VRBO location. Owners have provided everything you could need and are such nice people.

Lovely White River Location

We have a large family and celebrated Thanksgiving on the White this year. We had plenty of room for all. And it was a perfect kitchen (well stocked with pots/utensils) for cooking. We loved being on the river for fishing and exploring and used the fire pit for s'mores! Really great place and host were very helpful.

Comforts of Home

Sandy did a fabulous job giving special attention to details. She welcomed us with a personal tour of the property, she provided a gift basket that had something suitable for all ages and provided fresh vegetables from her garden. There was always something to do, such as, kayaking, fishing, cornhole, painting, sightseeing, and just relaxing on the deck or by the river. It's a beautiful place with very friendly hosts. It's definitely a place we would visit again.

Perfect getaway on the White River with an exceptional view!

If you are looking for a large property directly on the river with walk-in access, this is your place! We had a great time fly fishing, playing games, cooking, using the firepit for hot dogs and s'mores, watching the bald eagles over the river, listening to the shoals, relaxing and spending down time together. Our crew had 6 adults and 3 teens/tweens and we plenty of space. The place was very clean and the owners had great communication. It was also extremely well stocked for cooking, etc. It is a pretty remote location (at least for us city people) but that was fine by us. All the little extras made this place great for a getaway. There is no cell service (at least with AT&T) but there is Wi-Fi.

The property is very well decorated and clean. They thought of everything you could need in the kitchen, from a crock pot, blender, toaster, etc. to plenty of pots and pans, dishes and silverware. Couldn't have felt more like home. The river view is wonderful and if weather had been better for us, lots of fishing to be had. Just an overall excellent location.
