Great fishing!!!

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Absolutely wonderful location. The property was absolutely spotless. Everything was perfectly clean and welcoming. Easy to get to and fine with great access to Cotter and being right on the river and close to Cranor’s Lodge, where we absolutely love to fish was fantastic. We will definitely be back again.
