Excellent Experience

Cotter Rock Cottage was clean and cozy. My husband and i came to Cotter to fish. We were very close to river fishing. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and seeing a herd of deer across the street. Highly recommend.

Excellent place to stay

We really enjoyed our stay at the Cottage in Cotter, it’s really larger than it looks, we stayed 5 days and the covered deck for grilling had to be my favorite wish it could’ve been cooler but I loved it, I picked up a little fan at the DG and was set, we would definitely stay here again, very well stocked with anything you need to cook can’t wait to go back. Thank You Joey and family for such a nice clean home to stay in.

My stay at the Cotter Rock Cottage

Perfect place to stay I had a planned 2-day guided trip. Working with the hosts were very easy and they are very accommodating. The place was clean, plenty of room for 4, maybe even 5 people, had everything you might need for a few day stay. Thank again for everything!

great remodel

Joey did an excellent job remodeling an older home. It was very well maintained and clean.Plenty of towels and washcloths to use. Which hasn't always been the case with other properties, in my experience.The shower gel and shampoo dispenser was a nice touch as well.I would definitely visit again if I get back to the area.Loved the Patrick McManus book collection as well.

Very nice rental!

Very clean, had more than we expected-spices, zip lock bags, deep fryer and grill, high pressure shower with nozzle hose , “outside towels”, games, white noise maker at each bedside, plenty of hangars, to name a few. Decor was outstanding for a fisherman. Very near the White River.

Wonderful home to stay in!

We had the pleasure of staying in this well cared for home. Delightfully decorated and close to so many oudoor activities. Our favorite thing about this home? The relaxing front AND back porches. The host, Joey, made sure to keep in contact which was very much appreciated. Everything we could possibly need was furnished for us. We just brought our clothes and groceries. Would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Rock Cottage

This morning while packing to leave we said, "We will definitely stay here again." Cottage is so clean! I love the decor. Beds comfortable. The washer/dryer amenity was great! Having TVs in living area and bedrooms was awesome! We personally loved that a train came by house twice a day because we love trains! If you don't want to hear the train, the owner has provided excellent sound reduction extras. Joey is a very kind man. That is a blessung anytime you stay in a vrbo. Highly recommend Cotter Rock Cottage in Cotter, Arkansas, trout capital of US!
