We thoughly enjoyed our time at Riverhouse at Creswell Island on the White River. The house was very clean and comfortable, & the kitchen was well stocked. The king-sized bed we used was very comfortable. The screen porch was delightful; a great place to enjoy the sights & sounds of the environment, including the river.The surrounding area has some very quaint small towns that were fun to explore. Would definitely be willing to go back.

It was a wonderful stay!

We have a busy life and we were so happy to have had a wonderful, quiet, restful stay! The scenery was beautiful and it was so nice to have met Diane, who when we ask for anything to make our stay more comfortable, she was very accommodating. We would definitely stay there again and are planning to this fall!
This is in the back patio where you can see the river and your own dock where you can fish! Beautiful scenery!

We truly enjoyed our time at the Riverhouse. Diane is the BEST! When we arrived the house was cool, clean, and smelled fabulous. Everything we needed (except food) was there. We spent every evening on the dock and watched the otters swim. I loved setting on the porch where it was quiet and peaceful. The only draw back was we ride Goldwing trikes that set low to the ground and the private road to the house was rocky but we learned to maneuver around the rough spots no problem.

So glad you got to see the eagles during your stay. The nest is close by and I always watch early morning and late afternoon for the eagles to soar over the river. Glad you enjoyed fishing and spending your anniversary here. Kathy, thank you for your kind words in the guest journal and really happy you found your stay peaceful. Hope to see you back again sometime.

We absolutely loved the Riverhouse and this beautiful spot on the White River! As other reviewers have already said, the house is so thoughtfully fitted out with so many things to make you feel at home and able to relax. Diane is the best hostess, and the nicest person you could ever want to work with, and we are already trying to figure out when we can come back!

We stayed here two years ago and couldn’t wait to return. Calico Rock is incredibly peaceful and the house has all the comforts of home. We look forward to patiently waiting for the beaver or river otters to make their appearance morning and evening. Our host communicates so well and is incredibly kind.

The heavy rains on the hillside do effect the path to the boat dock and require maintenance after storms and this has been done. We added a second path when the Riverhouse became a rental and it is not as steep.

Very nice host

Nice clean house but lots of big truck traffic lots of noise during the day and lots of dust from traffic.
Stayed 5 nights in May 2023
Response from VrboOwner on 16 Jun 2023
My guests just happened to be staying the week the owner of the house up the hill received approval and the rocks to repair his shoreline. He would be losing his boat dock if the repairs were not made. Yes there were big trucks and each time they passed the houses the drivers slowed down and apologized to me for the traffic. The crew did stop work each day at 3:30. In the future the other houses will need to have the same work done to save their boat docks. We are delighted to be able to share our boat docks with our guests but must do the required work to maintain them. This is a quiet dead end county road with only five houses located here on the White River.

About the host

Hosted by Diane

Host profile image
I am a retired educator from Northeast Arkansas. We purchased the Riverhouse in 2012 and in 2013 purchased another house in the area.

Why they chose this property

The property can only be seen from the river unless you drive down the private drive. There are only 5 houses so it’s is a quiet neighborhood. The screened-in porch overlooking the river is my favorite place for morning coffee and relaxing in the late afternoon.

What makes this property unique

This property comes with its own private boat dock for parking your boat during your stay. Our guests enjoy fishing from the boat dock, watching the eagles fly over and the cows drinking and cooling off across the river from the pasture. There are not many boat docks on the White River in this area and one of the main reasons we purchased this property.
