White River Fly Fishing

As always, the Peglar properties always exceed expectations. We have stayed at all of his properties. They are always clean and well provisioned and the Miser Lodge was no exception. Had a group of six adults, plenty of room for a four day excursion to the White River. See you again!

Great for a Wedding!

We rented the top for the wedding party and had the wedding in the event space below! The whole place is lovely and great for a smaller wedding of about 50 inside. Angel was so helpful and accommodating. The beds are very comfortable and the wedding party loved being able to relax and visit the night before the wedding.

Recent Stay

I have stayed at this property a number of times over the years. The recent face life after ownership change is very nice. This is a perfect place for a family event, family friends fishing trip etc. Great value for the product, I hope this continues to be such a great location and value. If so we will definitely stay a couple of times a year.

Best venue for a quilters retreat!

This was our first local venue for a small group of quilters to get together for a four day retreat. We will most definitely come back! The upstairs living area was beautifully decorated, the kitchen filled with everything we needed for meal prep, and the beds most comfortable. Plenty of extra bath towels and bed linens, all clean and fresh. Our first morning, we discovered the coffee maker and dishwasher weren’t working. One text to the property manager and he arrived in about an hour with a replacement coffee maker By mid afternoon, a new dishwasher was delivered and installed. Great customer care! We very highly recommend this property!!

About the host

Hosted by JOEY PEGLAR

Host profile image
Joey and Vanessa Peglar have been restoring historic buildings in Cotter since 2011. They have been in the real estate business for 23 years and love unique properties! They own and operate Peglar Real Estate Group in Mtn Home Ar.

Why they chose this property

My wife and I tried To purchase this property approximately 20 years ago but it didn’t work out! My wife’s maiden name is Cotter and she has family routes that go back over 100 years to Cotter. When this property became available it was a no brainer for us to pick it up and add it to our unique vacation properties. We love fixing up historic buildings for people to enjoy. Cotter Arkansas is such a quaint little town. We love Cotter because it is very relaxing it is full of nature and it’s just a good way to slow down and spend time with family.

What makes this property unique

Lots of room to roam. Only 60 seconds to the historic White River and a beautiful piece of history!
