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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Amazing home and location
We had a wonderful time. The house was beautiful! The huge kitchen windows overlooking the river was so lovely. The covered porch was our favorite with the built in fireplace and tables outside. Would love to return with my family during summer months.

White River Vacation
I will start off by saying my Wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at trout fest. This was our first vacation stay that the rental actually lived up to the pictures. I intended to take my chest waders with and realized when we arrived and unpacked that I forgot to bring them. I braved the cold water and waded out anyway and was rewarded with a few nice rainbows that I released. One of the days we rented a pontoon at Bull Shoals Lake. The fishing was slow, but we had fun just cruising around the lake. All that said, we had a very good time.

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!

Troutfest
Great property. Well taken care of right on the White River with great views of the river from the deck and the outdoor bar area. We didn't get to enjoy all that the property offered given that we were only there two days for a quick flyfishing trip. Every part of the property is set up for a nice friend or family stay. Very well set up for entertaining for several evenings on the back porch or in front of the outdoor fireplace with its own bar area that has overhead heat and fans. We had one request and the owner (Rick) reached out right away and accomodated us, no questions asked. We were also fortunate to spend some time in town Cotter where they were holding their Troutfest Event. This was a great small town feel gathering where we met up wtih one of our guides and hung out for a while. Place fully met our expectations and we've stayed around...
