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

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.

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!

By the River

The property is beautifully located on the river. Excellent spot for pets, fishing, walking, boating, kayaking & hanging out on the deck. We made s’mores & hotdogs in the outdoor fireplace & enjoyed an evening of peace & quiet by the fire. The master bath is just a delight- walk in shower. The kitchen was perfect & had everything we needed & or wanted. Incredible place to stay. Super easy to find, rent, get in, get Wi-Fi, relax, have fun & recharge!
