    We enjoyed our stay at Troutfest - the house is perfectly located for your guide to pick up at the backyard. The home is comfortable and the kitchen has everything. The host was quick to repond for a question. We hope to stay again for our fishing vacation.

    I have stayed in homes up and down the White River and TROUTFEST is simply the best. It's a comfortable, clean home that's easy to relax in and it simply has the BEST access to water right in front of the home. I NEVER get skunked in front of TROUTFEST. I love the kitchen. I love the master bathroom and I love, love, love the patio that we spend so much of our time on. Your guide can pull right up on the lawn to pick you up if you are fishing that section of the White. How easy is that? We had possibility of thunderstorms and could pull our car right into the garage and that's a nice plus. It's so worth that drive down Denton Ferry Road for this gem.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.
