Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1995
We golf, fish, travel, but call the "Ozarks" home. My husband retired from the fishing/boating industry so he and I could enjoy fishing & traveling on our own time. Charlie was VP of Ranger Boats and CEO of FLW Outdoors, is an avid fishermen who knows the area and fisheries well. There is nothing more relaxing than spending a day on the deck overlooking the river or in a boat floating and fishing. The scenery is so beautiful it just gives you a totally relaxed feeling unmatched by others. I enjoy seeing others have this experience.
Why the Owner Chose Bull Shoals
Living here and being owner/broker of a real estate company locally this opportunity presented itself. Living here is a "lifestyle change" for many. We're fortunate to live here year round in an area where many people only get to "vacation". We LIVE our vacation and love to share it with others. Because of this we know the people, the area, best places to go, and are happy to put you in contact with the right connections making the most of your Ozarks vacation. If you have special needs we do our best to see how we can help. Family reunions, booking a guide for fishing, special area attractions for those who want to bird-watch, hike, or other activity - we can help you. Our housekeepers are meticulous in cleaning between guests making sure everything in the home is ready for your arrival. Prior to your arrival I will communicate with you to assist in helping with those activities. You don't want to wait til you get here to book the best!
The Unique Benefits of this House
Guests tell us repeatedly it's better than anticipated and most all return again finding the peace and tranquility so relaxing and the home so clean. Clean, maintained well with all the comforts of a private home unike a resort where there are "too many people" to enjoy privacy.

The houses worked perfect for us. The guides were able to pick us up rite on the river which got us fishing all the more quickly. The two homes we rented were well furnished, clean and roomy. There were eight of us total so the roominess was appreciated. The area is beautiful and scenic and we are looking forward to the next visit.
Owner response:We're pleased your party of eight found our homes spacious, clean and fishing was enjoyed along with the beauty of the Arkansas Ozarks. Thank you for choosing Riverside Vacation Homes and the comments. We look forward to having you and your guests again in the near future.

A clean well equipped clean and comfortable house. We were four adults and a four year old, plenty of room and space for the four year old to play inside and outside. Fishing off the deck or just relaxing and enjoying the river and nature. Close to a boat marina if you have a boat or want to rent one. Great fishing if you choose or just enjoy nature. I strongly recommended staying here.
Owner response:It's very pleasing to know you enjoyed our home had a wonderful experience. It's uncommon to be able to fish off the deck - most guests enjoy the lower deck for the serenity of nature and watch the river roll by. Also guides sometimes opt to pick up guests at the steps to the river depending on current water conditions - and you can rent a boat just up the street plus we have plenty of parking if you bring your own. Thank you for choosing Riverside Vacation Homes. We look forward to your return! The memories made with the four year old will be remembered forever.

My family has stayed in each one of the condos that Sherry and Charlie have on the river and we have never had a bad experience. It is the perfect get away and we look forward to going every year. This past July we stayed in the condo by the river and loved it! Waking up to have coffee and breakfast on the deck watching the fog rise off the water is amazing! The condo was very clean and had all the conveniences of our own home. Sherry and Charlie are very knowledgable of the area and always there to help when needed such as getting a great fishing guide to take us on a trip. The condos are in a perfect location and are right down the street from a park. We recommend everyone to take a vacation here and always bring friends along to experience the awesome feeling that these condos conjure up. We will continue to make reservations here every year.
Owner response:Thank you for choosing Riverside Vacation Homes each year for your destination and bringing/referring friends. Referrals and repeat guests are the highest form of compliment. We're glad you appreciate the cleanliness, maintenance, improvements and thrilled for your pleasure both watching and being on the river. We personaly like to spend time in Riverside Vacation Homes when availability permits - as you stated so well - the "morning fog" with your coffee is amazing. It is so peaceful and relaxing. Thank you!

Review Submitted: 09/02/11
We recently stayed at the Riverside Vacation Homes and we were very disappointed in the accommodations and feel they were greatly misrepresented. The property was not clean as advertised. The kitchen and bath were fine but the carpeting in the house was deplorable and smelled. Fishing from the deck was not possible because it was not accessible to the river and fishing from the bank safely was not possible either. It was not a good experience and we will not retrun.
Owner response:We take pride in perpetually and professionally maintaining Riverside Vacation Homes inside and out and appreciate being informed if something needs our attention. The comments on vrbo.com and our guestbooks in Riverside Vacation Homes reflect very favorably. During your visit my husband was told by you everything was fine. It disappoints me that you now decide otherwise. It is a priority for our guests to be satisfied. Fluctuation of the White River varies throughout the day-sometimes it's so low you can walk across and during that same day it may be generating so you need to use a boat for fishing. The Corps of Engineers operate the generators (based on power needs, flood control, etc.) that dictate the flow of the river and is not a time-scheduled event. We recommend several excellent guides for your fishing pleasure or simply relax on the decks overlooking White River. We know the area, people, restaurants, and glad to assist you with any questions or planning of your trip to Bull Shoals Lake/White River area. Thank you!

Owner response:Relaxing and fishing doesn't get any better than this! Thank you - we look forward to your return visit. Several guests have family get-togethers taking all homes at Riverside Vacation Homes. Fishing, family and fun!

We spent 3 nights in this peaceful, super clean home. It is right on the river where you can sit out on the deck and enjoy the water. It even has a fenced back yard for our 2 small dogs and a covered area for your vehicle. Sherry is wonderful to work with. I accidently left my Kindle and she called and is shipping it to me at no charge. Would highly recommend this home!
Owner response:We treat others the way we want to be treated and keep our vacation homes as we would our own. We've traveled a great deal and it's so refreshing to have the personal touch of staying in a private home. You should have your Kindle by now. It was a pleasure to have you as guests. Thank you and come back again. Sherry

Thanks for everything! We had a great time, and it was better than advertised. I don't want to make this sound too good, or we will not be able to get future reservations!!! Looking forward to our next visit. Jeff

We recently stayed at Sherry and Charlie's house on the White River. This was our first trip to the area. Prior to arriving Sherry could not have been more helpful. She sent us information on the area and fishing guide information. Charlie was there when we arrived and gave us some tips on the river and fishing. The house was very, very clean. It was so much more than we expected. We felt at home immediately. We spent time every day and night relaxing on the deck overlooking the river. We will diffently return and would recommend this property highly. Thank you Sherry and Charlie for providing a wonderful home away from home.
Owner response:Hi Kathy & Kevin - Being from here we know the people, the area and are glad to share "homegrown" Ozarks information. The relaxed and friendly lifestyle is the "norm" and the experience of a guided White River trip is the icing on the cake! We've stayed at many other vrbo homes and found it helpful to know what each area has to offer ahead of time. It is our desire to maintain our homes very clean, warm and welcoming and provide personal attention to our guests. Thank you for letting us know Riverside Vacation Homes was "so much more than expected". We look forward to having you return to "home away from home"! Sherry & Charlie

We enjoyed our week here so much, we booked for the same time next year. This place is way beyond everything we could have expected. The house is very cozy and comfy and has everything you need to just walk in the door and settle in. The deck was my favorite place... It is so peaceful and the view of the bluffs and the river are so beautiful. Gary really loved that you could walk right down to the river and fish any time you felt like it! The weather was perfect and the fishing was good. Sherry and Charlie are great people and treat you like a long lost friend ... thank you! Everyone we met here were so friendly and nice ... can't wait to get back there!
Owner response:Dear Gary & Karen - We're pleased to meet/exceed your expectations. When we first met I have to admit you looked VERY relaxed & excited at the same time. Drinking morning coffee while Gary read the paper online and you were e-mailing your co-workers beautiful pictures of the bluffs across the river, an owl on a rock at the water's edge and a fox on the other side of the river. Thank you for sharing the fantastic photos and e-mailing them to me. I'll be posting them online! It was a pleasure to meet you and look forward to your return next year. Thanks again from your NEW friend! Sherry & Charlie
