    This was a fantastic trip! Such a special time for my son and I and this place put the icing on the cake. Beautiful. Fishing was great! The owner went above and beyond to make sure our stay was so memorable. 5 STAR in my book! We will most certainly be back!

    Immaculately kept cottage and property with a wonderful owner! Excellent air conditioning, nice and cool despite 100+ degree temperatures. Great location for wildlife and birding and, for me, ideal basecamp to fish the White. Bring yourself, virtually everything else is provided.

    My family (husband and two teen boys) stayed at Andrea’s well-appointed cottage for three nights/four days. The setting of the cottage is amazing. I spent hours on the deck watching the river and the variety of birds, including a bald eagle. Andrea is the most thoughtful host I’ve encountered. Not only is the cottage immaculate, she has thought of every detail in terms of what you may need to make your stay comfortable. Towels, headlamps, binoculars for bird watching, a variety of magazines and DVDs…I could go on! The kitchen was well equipped and we also enjoyed steaks on the grill one night. We enjoyed fishing on a guided tour while in Coffer. We loved our stay here. Andrea was such a wonderful host!

    This was our third time staying at Wildcat Cottage, and we honestly can’t say enough good things about it. The place is just amazing. The host is so friendly and welcoming—it really feels like coming back to a home away from home. The scenery is beautiful, and there’s always so much wildlife around, which makes it even more special. We always have the best time here and can’t wait for our next visit!

    Absolutely amazing spot, Andrea was a fantastic host with every detail of the trip covered. Beautiful spot with Bald Eagles and 50 feet to clear gorgeous water with huge trout.

    Staying at this cottage felt just like being at home, the only difference is our home doesn’t have the same spectacular views. We enjoyed everything about the property. The view from the back porch of the cottage is absolutely breathtaking. Have your camera ready so you can snap some pics of all the abundant wildlife. If you enjoy wade fishing, this is the spot. The four of us caught our limit daily. And, if you just enjoy catching and releasing, be prepared, because you will stay busy. Last but definitely not least, the hostess Andrea is the best. She is super helpful and extremely thoughtful. Upon arrival, she surprised us with a snack basket and birthday sweets from B’s Bakery. This act of kindness comes from the heart, and for that we are extremely grateful. We are very blessed to have had the opportunity to stay at this cottage. The only bad part about the entire trip was….Leaving!! Darris, Amanda, Dristen & Darrah Hill

    We love it here. This was our fifth visit to Wildcat cottage. The fishing is great, the views are so peaceful. Sitting on the deck watching the wildlife sipping our coffee as the mist rises off the water is just amazing. Andrea has thought of everything. It’s like being at home. She is a wonderful host and we will be back again soon.

    Excellent property with perfect access to the river at Wildcat Shoals. Very comfortable clean and homey. Host, Andrea, was fabulous and provided above and beyond what many properties provide. Can’t wait to go back.

    The ladies in the Sunday School class enjoyed pictures of previous stays at Wildcat Cottage & insisted on coming for a week.We had a lovely time. I experienced the newness of the cabin & view through the eyes of the first-timers. Andrea did a wonderful job showing them around the cabin & introducing them to some of the highlights.The ladies learned how to trout fish with their guide & had caught their limit to take home.Andrea feeds the local birds & they did not disappoint as they flew in to partake of their treats & sing for the ladies.The bluff & the river views are spectacular at various times throughout the day. And the life of the fog as it accumulated above the river was an entertainment all its own.Andrea prepares the cabin for her visitors. It is very clean & well stocked. Bring your clothes, sit back & relax. Prepare meals for yourselves or go out to one of the local restaurants . . . Its your choice.

    Andrea has thought of everything! This is my second time staying here and this time I was by myself just for a trip to relax. I feel extremely safe at her property and she has thought of so many things to help take care of her guests. Her cottage is extremely clean and well taken care of. She is available anytime you have a question and very responsive. The property is beautiful, right on the river. I saw so much wildlife this time especially. Eagles, heron, pileated woodpeckers, squirrels and many more. It's a great place to stay if you're a fisherman or just like exploring the area. You can put in your boat literally right up the road or go down to Cotter which is just a few miles away. Lots of people canoe and there's also the swimming hole to enjoy. It's a great property and I highly recommend it. I will be a returning guest because it feels like home.
