Troutfest!

Amazing little place right on bank of the White River! If you have a guided trip, your guide may even pick you up feom the bank behind the house. Ours did! No negatives on the property at all! The river was up and in the yard but it didnt stop the browns from eating my flies feom the bank!

Definitely would stay again!

The check in process was very easy. The attrntion to cleanliness was exceptional. Attention to detail with amenities made for a very relaxing stay. The host responds quickly if there is a need and considerate about anything that needs taken care. We would only stay at Troutfest when returning to Cotter

A wonderful property

This was our second stay at this really awesome property. Rick is the most accommodating host I've ever dealt with. We had a problem on our reservation (my fault) and Rick was kind enough to offer us stay at his residence....going way beyond expected to help us with a solution. A first rate place and a first rate host. We'll be back for sure.

I’ve Stayed at TroutFest Twice

I’ve stayed at TroutFest twice, and I’ll continue to stay there. It’s in a great location for me, and the home is perfect for my group of four fisherman. The deck is awesome, and when the White River is low, you can fish from the house. The owner is very responsive.

Great Riverfront Property

Despite snow and extremely cold temperatures, we had a wonderful stay at TroutFest. We saw a bald eagle, a heron and lots of other waterfowl. The owner was very responsive to all questions in order to make sure our stay was perfect. Can’t wait to book here again in the spring, summer or fall to take advantage of the large covered patio overlooking the river with ceiling fans, ceiling heaters and lots of comfortable seating.

Great place!

We had a wonderful weekend at Troutfest! Very clean and well stocked with everything you need. It has a really awesome vibe and lots of space to spend with your group. The back deck is an incredible place to hang out and it was great to be able to walk down to the river. We had a great time fishing and catching up with family. The host was easy to communicate with and was extremely nice and professional. Would love to come back again! Thank you so much, Rick!

The BEST!

I have stayed in homes up and down the White River and TROUTFEST is simply the best. It's a comfortable, clean home that's easy to relax in and it simply has the BEST access to water right in front of the home. I NEVER get skunked in front of TROUTFEST. I love the kitchen. I love the master bathroom and I love, love, love the patio that we spend so much of our time on. Your guide can pull right up on the lawn to pick you up if you are fishing that section of the White. How easy is that? We had possibility of thunderstorms and could pull our car right into the garage and that's a nice plus. It's so worth that drive down Denton Ferry Road for this gem.

Stunning and Peaceful

The photos don’t do this property justice. The house is beautifully decorated, large spacious bathrooms. I thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the porch overlooking the river to have my morning coffee. We were able to catch fish right out back. A beautiful slice of paradise on the white river!Would happily visit this property again.

Beautiful as always

We have made this a yearly stay. We have a back to school fishing trip and the house is always so clean and comfy. We love the trout fest house. We are very grateful for a wonderful stay with a beautiful view. Our children always loves wading in the river when it comes up and swimming at little at the edge.

Another great trip

Our home of choice on the White River is Trout Fest. We have stayed at many others when it has already been booked, but none compare. We had dear friends join us this time and the first words out of the wife's mouth were "WOW, look at that kitchen!" Then she saw the view and just about dropped. What makes Trout Fest the best in my book is the patio area, which is where we spend most of our time and the river access. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SKUNKED on this stretch of shore fishing. I walked down first day and in four casts had four fish for dinner that night. Yes, the kitchen is nice, the master bedroom and bathroom are quite spacious, the bed quality is good (a sticking point for me, many vacation rentals have bad beds) and the dining and living room are comfortable and loaded with ambiance, but it's about the great deck and unparalleled river access. We have already booked our return trip for later in the year. Trout Fest is our "other home". Please, to those of you who stay there, treat it like your own. Try oiling the cast iron skillets after using and before putting away and they will be the best pans forever. By the way, guides can pull up right in front of the house on the lawn by the river and Greg's White River Guide Service is our go-to guide.

This property was very clean and the location was steps away from our fishing guide service! Kitchen was well stocked and coffee/happy hour from the rockers on the back porch was so relaxing! Will be back soon!!
