Perfect home base in Cotter

Thank you so much, Sandy! We loved our stay in your home. It was very clean and comfortable and we will definitely come back. Some of my favorite things about it where these… I loved having the hand sprayer in the shower. That is something that I look for when renting a VRBO. The girls in my family all agree when we are going somewhere new to stay. The shower had, great water pressure and plenty of heat as well! Beds were comfortable and it was nice to have the fan in each room for the air circulation at night. We enjoy a cool house and it was perfect while we were here. My husband and I only turned on the heat a couple times because it got down to 40 something outside. Lol we also loved being able to watch our favorite shows on Netflix at night. when we stay in hotels, we are unable to do that. That was really great! The kitchen had everything we needed, and we really enjoyed being here. Love, love, love the wood floors and your decor! I am learning to trout fish and this is a great spot in Cotter. It’s a wonderful homebase and You are a wonderful host! Your home is very close to the White River Cafe. Wow! they sure have the best breakfasts anywhere and the folks are so great! That goes for the wonderful fly shop just a block or so away! Thanks again for everything! We loved it and we will definitely be back soon!

Wonderful experience, Beautiful & clean!!!

As a business owner who specializes in cleaning vacation homes for many years, it has been so hard finding a vacation rental for personal trips without having to clean after arriving . This was the exact opposite, i was so grateful to get out of the heat after a long day into a beautiful , clean and very welcoming home. The owner was so nice & answered all my questions before i needed to ask them. I will be staying again!!

Great Cotter Home

Great home in Cotter with excellent access to the Cotter Bridge, the highway, and local shops. This home has everything you would need and is incredibly clean. There’s plenty of room for multiple families or grandparents / parents/ and kids to be together but not on top of one another. Additional fold out bed and pack and play also available…as well as blankets for the couch. Loved the black “everything” towels. The fire pit in the back is awesome too! Would definitely stay here again!!

Great jumping off point

I'm sure most people come to Cotter for the fishing, which seems incredible, but it works for exploring the area as well. We had a last minute open weekend and found this property on short notice. It worked well for exploring the river(s), lake(s) and surrounding town.
