Beautiful weekend

This property is exactly as described with perfect areas spaced inside and out, for seating. The owners have thought of everything and this is the most well equipped vrbo I've stayed in. Wonderfully relaxing. My family will be repeat visitors.

Week get away

Brought in-laws to visit friends in Mt Home and a chance to fish for trout. Did not disappoint, so much to love about the location and house. The view was stunning and the deck with a fire pit was top notch. Host was attentive and helpful, thanks Charlie for a wonderful week.

Peaceful and relaxing

Had a great week enjoying the screened in porch in the morning, while drinking our coffee. Loved watching the boats on the river throughout the day. We were very pleased with how well the kitchen and bathrooms were stocked! My husband worked on his laptop some and the WiFi was more than sufficient for what he needed! Drove over to Mountain Home and went to the college for an event. Communication with the owner was top-notch!! It’s a beautiful place to unwind and relax!

Weekend fishing

This property was everything we could've asked for! The property manager let me know everything I needed to know before I got there and even had it cleaned early so we could check in early. Super customer service! The area is fantastic, out of the way so there wasn't a ton of people. I'm sure it's busier when the weather is nicer. Tailwater had everything we could've hoped for in a vacation place. Every detail was covered so I didn't even have any questions. The family went wade fishing in the river (in February that's a little cold) and caught some nice fish. Over all it was a great place to stay and we had trouble leaving and coming back to real life. But we will definitely be back!

Amazing!

I cannot say enough good things about this place!! From the moment we booked until we checked out, it was phenomenal. Charlie communicated with us about everything, entered all my questions, and made sure we knew about anything and everything we could ask. The house itself was perfect. Had every single thing we needed and stuff we didn’t realize we needed. One of us may have forgotten a toothbrush. It was comfortable, clean, and we felt right at home. All the extra touches made us feel like we were very important to them; the snacks, the extra supplies and just the overall vibe. If you get the opportunity to go to the White River, I need a great place to stay, this is a great place to do that.

Great House. Perfect Location for a White River Adventure.

A group of four guys stayed here for two nights while fly fishing on the White River. The location is perfect, giving you quick access to the river. The house has everything you need. The outdoor space is wonderful and the screened in porch is an excellent spot to sit and watch the river go by. We will definitely stay here again.

Great house with all the amenities. Great areas to sit outside by the fire pit with supplied wood for a nightly fire in the cool weather. Great screened in back porch to sip coffee and view the river and discuss our fishing plans for the day.

Beautiful!

Our stay was wonderful! The house was cozy & had everything we needed. The views were so beautiful. We really loved the screened porch, patio area with a fire pit & grill, and the chairs along the river. It was a lovely family getaway & we plan on going back.

Relaxation at its best

We went to relax while looking at the water and fish a little and we got just what we wanted. It was one of the most relaxing vacations we've ever had! Perfect weather, good fishing just outside the back door, and several great outside spots to enjoy it all. Plus, Cotter has a nice little park/boat launch area that we enjoyed too.Our group was supposed to be 3 couples but ended up with 2. Very comfortable for 2 but would have been okay with 3 and pushing a couple twins together. Had a nice screened in porch, outdoor relaxation area with a view, and chairs down in a grassy area by the water with an even better view. The inside was pretty nice but, other than sleeping and the kitchen, we didn't use it much. Beds were fine and the two bathrooms were nice but we were impressed by the extras in the kitchen. Most rentals have the bare minimum and terrible pots/pans but this was well stocked. Lots of spices, oil, plastic bags, laundry detergent, and all those little things that are annoying to buy while on vacation for one use. We cooked almost all our meals at the house and had no issues. They provided gas and charcoal grills too.We rented a boat in Cotter but also floated from the house in kayaks down to the Cotter boat launch which took just over 2 hours. When the water level was low, we used waders and waded out from the back yard and caught a limit of trout. My wife even caught a nice brown and a bruiser rainbow just wading in a little ways in water shoes!
