Everything was by and large great. Only issue and it was small- the outside grill was difficult to get going. House was great - clean, well equipped and roomy. Would stay there again.

The hostess was so helpful from the moment we booked through our entire stay. She shared recommendations and answered all our questions promptly. The home was even more beautiful and spacious than the pictures show. We truly enjoyed every relaxing moment. The river was perfect to fish and kayak. The amenities were amazing, but all the little extras the host provides in the home (like sound machines and kayaks with trailer) were truly wonderful! We would highly recommend staying here and probably will be back! Everyone in our group from 12 to 75 years old had an awesome trip!

Fantastic Stay on the White River

Very nice home on a spacious lot with river frontage. Plenty of space, comfortable beds, and river access. Very relaxing stay. Even saw bald eagles while sipping our morning coffee! Host was available for any questions and allowed us to use their personal kayaks. Already planning out next visit to this property.

Weekend Trip

We stayed to get a lay of the land prior to another booking in July. It did not disappoint. The house/grounds were perfect. The house had anything you could think of from linens, kitchen items, kayaks, two refrigerators, horse shoes, fire pit, and fishing, This is a large house (4BR) that is perfect for a larger family. Carie was extremely helpful and gave recommendations for other services as well

This place was outstanding. Just stayed 4 nights with 6 high school buddies. its was our 38 year getting together for a long weekend. The location was perfect for outdoor activities with the White River 50-60 yards from the back patio that had awesome view of the river. We sat in the river every afternoon enjoying some fishing and the boat traffic of fishermen and floaters. The water was chilly but tolerable( think of your own ice plunge) the temp outside was over 100 deg.The house has perfect layout for large groups with great big kitchen - bar stools, large kitchen table, large living area, long deep main level back patio with plenty of seating for large groups, ceiling fans. bedroom were more than accommodating for our group along with bathrooms with (no waiting) - 2 large refrigerators to store all our food and BEVERAGES and ICE. large garage. secluded drive literally no traffic. the host, Carrie, was excellent. prompt responses, great information on the area for sight seeing, kayaking - which we did with Rileys Outfitters( family owned and super nice - flexible with float times and pickups) - restaurant recommendations etc... I do not book VRBO often myself - my wife handles that most of the time - and Carrie made this process can of corn. Cotter is great little town. I highly recommend The Sands cafe for breakfast( we ate there 3 days in a row. opens early and the food service was top notch . I would rate this a 10 if possible -

My roller derby team and I stayed at this house for a tournament weekend in Victoria. It is spacious, gorgeous, and has a wonderful kitchen/dining/living room area to enjoy our time together. The house had everything we needed (an ironing board, excellent washer and dryer, and a huge fridge/freezer). Every room offers incredible views of the mountains and surrounding hills. Cannot recommend this home highly enough!
