This means that the prices vary – determined by software – dependent on area inventory, day of week and time of year. You will not know your true price quote until you enter amount of people and the dates you are interested in.
IMPORTANT NOTICE that you’ll appreciate:
As of Sept '22: If you only need access to the main house with 3 bedrooms (sleeping six) we will refund $55/night – at the end of your trip. You will not have access to the bunkhouse sleeping area which sleeps 4 in one queen, two twin beds. There is no bathroom in the bunkie.
PROPERTY LOCATION and ACCESSIBILITY:
Conveniently located on a paved road in a quiet neighborhood, this cabin is 3 minutes from Angler's restaurant/fishing guide services and 10 - 15 minutes from shopping, medical and area attractions including Blanchard Caverns, Ozark Folk Center, Loco Ropes Course, Arkansas Craft School, horseback trail riding, and lots more.
Some other area attractions are Blanchard (world class) Caverns, trout fishing on the White River, Ozark Folk Center State Park, Loco Ropes treetop adventures. And what we're most famous for, the best folk artist musicians always " picking and grinning" behind the courthouse on fair weather days.
ABOUT THE WATER:
This river is very cold and swift even in August. (Makes for great cool breezes on summer evenings). It is tail waters from two dams and levels fluctuate daily. You may or may not be able to easily stick your toes in the water. Anglers' and Jack's Resort rents John boats and trout guide services economically. Boats can take you to the confluences of other creeks where you can swim. Really fun!
PETS:
We love dogs! They are welcome here for an additional fee of $85 for up to 3 dogs - a flat fee for the duration of your stay.
*Heads up: sometimes your fur babies are not included in your quote on certain booking sites! Please send us a message to let us know your pup(s) will be accompanying you during your stay. See further rules in the rental agreement. For example: pets are not allowed on furniture but we provide doggy sheets if it's difficult to keep them off - like ours!

My trip was with my 84 year old mom and 3 cousins. We really loved the house and it provided most of what we needed. It was clean and the beds were comfortable. But I do have just a few suggestions: a chair in the bedrooms would be nice. It’s hard to put on shoes sitting on the bed. Some clear directions on how to work the tv. Since our group are big coffee drinkers, a heads up on the kind of filters the coffee maker uses would have been nice. I did buy some after we got to the house and left them there. Also, I did not know there was a Keurig coffee maker! (The picture of the kitchen online only showed the one coffee maker. It looked brand new!!) There was no ground pepper, only salt. (And somebody put salt in the sugar bowl. My mom ruined a cup of coffee with it! Not a huge deal but I did go ahead and empty it and it got a good cleaning in the dishwasher.) A bigger roll of paper towels. We used all of the one there in a little over 2 days. Clocks on the walls. Some extra clean sheets and blankets would have been nice. We had a family member that needed to sleep on the couch. We made do with the dog sheets that were provided (they looked and smelled clean!) and an afghan I brought from home. These are all trivial things but hopefully some issues that can be addressed. Would definitely stay there again! A great location and was easy to find!!
Gorgeous, comfortable, beautiful views. Only issue we had was getting response from property manager about cable service not working or using our Roku app to get the college games we wanted to watch. Highly recommend and we would stay again.
The house was just perfect for our family, was very relaxing while looking out at the river from the deck. Would reccomend for anyone.
Perfect place to get away in a secluded, beautiful setting. This home is really nice and right on the river. Lots of great outdoor space. Our kids range from 7 to 13, and we all had a great time. We fished, did puzzles, and laughed and ate a lot. Great places to hike nearby too. Highly recommend!
We loved our stay and close to things on our list: fishing at Jack’s, JoJo’ restaurant, downtown Mountain View. Many things booked at Izard center but we planned our trip late so plan ahead. Wonderful house and would definitely stay again and recommend.
The house was great. The kids loved the bunkhouse. The water is very close. We enjoyed sitting waterside on the deck with the fire pit burning. My only picky point would be that the water pressure was a little light in the showers, but not a big deal. The owners were proactive in communicating and very friendly.
Host was very helpful, we had car issues and they gave us some recommendations and options to help us! Amazing hosts Great view and great outdoor area
Awesome place! Loved our little getaway
House was in a great neighborhood. Loved the decks out the back over looking the river. Comfortable beds and furniture. Only criticism is that it is hard to get down to the river. A laddersomething would be very helpful.
This is a beautiful location, close to so many things. we plan to come back in the fall and see more, but also relax more.
It was very relaxing but had a few little problems!! Did enjoy the view !!
We loved the house! It was beautiful and cozy and great location!
We enjoyed our fall getaway. Property is right on the White River, very peaceful and relaxing. Beds and furniture very comfortable. View amazing. Owners ready to help make our stay the BEST! We will return!

a little dated but nice over all and comfortable....great location to the river
We had the majority of our family staying in the area and I can honestly say this is the best customer service I’ve experienced! From the time we began considering our cabins until the time we checked out, this team of people were extremely attentive, knowledgeable and so friendly! I enjoyed our experience and will certainly use them again!
We had 2 families stay for a week. The house was great. It was clean and well stocked with an amazing view and pretty simple access to the river. The bunk house served teenage boys perfectly and we found lots of beautiful hikes, swimming holes and rivers to enjoy
There are a number of inexpensive improvements that could be made to the house and outside areas that would make this a 5 star accommodation but overall it was still well above average.

My family and I LOVED this place! Will be booking again!
This was our third stay/house in Mountain View in recent years and this one was our favorite. It had everything we needed and are looking forward to a return trip. The water was low enough to climb down to the waterfront. We hiked part of the sylamore creek trail and swam at some of the recreation areas nearby. Hiring a fishing guide from Jack's to take us out on a boat was a highlight. we all caught our limit of rainbow trout! We went into town and enjoyed dinner and music on the town Square one night.
Our family had a great time here! The only disappointment was that Blanchard Springs Caverns is closed. (And the kids wanted to buy the house ?)
