The Cotter Fish and Game was a great place for our weekend guy's trip. You have a great location near multiple bank or wade in fishing locations to try to pull in some Trout. We hit both Wildcat Shoals and Big Spring Park, crystal clear water and plenty of easy access to the water. Then after fishing through the morning, you come back to a great house with ample hangout options. Pool table, video games, ping pong, and we spent good times out back by the firepit as well. Overall, a memorable trip and The Cotter Fish and Game played a big part in that.

Family vacation

The Fish and Game house is absolutely the best! The upstairs has plenty of room and fun for the kids and the downstairs is the quiet retreat for the adults. Can’t beat the location either. One of our very favorite places to stay!

This is my GO-TO property for entertaining friends and clients when fishing the White River. I always get "how did you find this place!?" If you have downtime staying here, it's because you chose to. The property is equipped to entertain, WOW the guests with all of it's amenities, and is spotless clean. Any questions or issues that may arise are handled immediately with a quick call or text to Leslie. 10/10 recommend.

Our stay at The Cotter Fish and Game in Cotter, AR was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we walked in, we felt right at home—spacious and ideal for our group. The location is unbeatable, just a short walk to the White River. The kitchen was well‑equipped, the living areas comfortable, and the firepit on the deck was a highlight at night. The host’s communication was seamless and check‑in/check‑out went smoothly.Highly recommend this property for a top‑notch getaway. We can’t wait to come back!
