We enjoyed our stay at Tailwater. Everything was very clean, well stocked with extras, perfect riverfront location, and nice outdoor areas. This is definitely one we’d return to!
Beautiful property, very peaceful, fishing was fantastic.

Great House. Perfect Location for a White River Adventure.
A group of four guys stayed here for two nights while fly fishing on the White River. The location is perfect, giving you quick access to the river. The house has everything you need. The outdoor space is wonderful and the screened in porch is an excellent spot to sit and watch the river go by. We will definitely stay here again.
Great house with all the amenities. Great areas to sit outside by the fire pit with supplied wood for a nightly fire in the cool weather. Great screened in back porch to sip coffee and view the river and discuss our fishing plans for the day.
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. House has everything needed. Room for boat parking in the covered driveway is a big plus. Convenient to Wild Cat Boat Launch and Gassville. Outdoor area is great. Will stay here again.

Love this home
This home is fantastic. Mr Charles has thought of everything that you may need while you are away from home Great fishing out back and relax by the fire pit Will always try to find this home first when visiting Cotter.
We love this house on the river so much. It is always so clean, & the view amazing. We love to take our family vacation here, relax, and spend time with family.
The home and location are absolutely beautiful. We are planning on coming back to stay again. Peaceful and relaxing.

Wonderful Place - Highly Recommend!⭐️
Our stay at Tailwater was wonderful. The house had all the equipment needed to cook, eat, sleep, and relax. My husband and I were able to wade out in the water and catch several rainbow trout. We had the best time and we truly enjoyed our time. We are already looking to come back soon!
We love staying at Tailwater when we plan a fly fishing trip. The home is well equipped with special touches as snacks and water. It was rather chilly this weekend and the home was warm and comfortable to come into after a cold day on the water. The location is perfect for anyone visiting the area and especially anyone wanting easy access to fish the White River.
Property is warm comfortable and clean. Great location on the. Bring your binoculars to watch the birds on the river

Relaxing on the river
Your accommodations were perfect and the location overlooking the river could not have been any better. The covered parking area was an extra bonus that is not often available and other accommodations we have used. We are looking forward to the next trip back up to the white river and will definitely look forward to staying at your facility.

Outstanding visit
My family visited for spring break and had a wonderful time. The home was equipped with everything we needed (and we cooked a meal each evening) and I loved the many porches and Adirondack chairs by the river. We would definitely come back.
Perfect location for our fly fishing trip. The home is very comfortable and has everything we needed. Love the Welcome Center with items we may have forgotten. The outdoor patio is well equipped for a relaxing evening watching and listening to wildlife by the river. Hope to come back.
This house and the outside seating are amazing. We spent our entire stay outside. The screened in porch was very nice, the stone patio with the fire pit, and seating by the river all had amazing views. The house was well equipped with everything we needed to stay and cook a few meals. We've stayed on the white river for 50+ years, this is our new favorite place. We'll be back soon!
Brought my sons done to fish for a couple of days. Great spot right on the river. My sons caught a few right in back of the house wading out a little ways. Sat on the inclosed porch at night, I don think I could have asked for anything more. I would stay there again if I ever get to come down and fish again.
Had a great week enjoying the screened in porch in the morning, while drinking our coffee. Loved watching the boats on the river throughout the day. We were very pleased with how well the kitchen and bathrooms were stocked! My husband worked on his laptop some and the WiFi was more than sufficient for what he needed! Drove over to Mountain Home and went to the college for an event. Communication with the owner was top-notch!! It’s a beautiful place to unwind and relax!
What a wonderful way to spend the 4th of July with family! Tailwater is a lovely, quiet and peaceful place to stay. We enjoyed being right on the river to watch the fog in the morning and at night. To listen to the river, explore in the river and wade around when the water was low in the mornings. We enjoyed watching the eagles too. There is so much to do!
Charles is an amazing host and is very quick to respond. We will certainly stay again at Tailwater when we come back to Citter.
We went to relax while looking at the water and fish a little and we got just what we wanted. It was one of the most relaxing vacations we've ever had! Perfect weather, good fishing just outside the back door, and several great outside spots to enjoy it all. Plus, Cotter has a nice little park/boat launch area that we enjoyed too.Our group was supposed to be 3 couples but ended up with 2. Very comfortable for 2 but would have been okay with 3 and pushing a couple twins together. Had a nice screened in porch, outdoor relaxation area with a view, and chairs down in a grassy area by the water with an even better view. The inside was pretty nice but, other than sleeping and the kitchen, we didn't use it much. Beds were fine and the two bathrooms were nice but we were impressed by the extras in the kitchen. Most rentals have the bare minimum and terrible pots/pans but this was well stocked. Lots of spices, oil, plastic bags, laundry detergent, and all those little things that are annoying to buy while on vacation for one use. We cooked almost all our meals at the house and had no issues. They provided gas and charcoal grills too.We rented a boat in Cotter but also floated from the house in kayaks down to the Cotter boat launch which took just over 2 hours. When the water level was low, we used waders and waded out from the back yard and caught a limit of trout. My wife even caught a nice brown and a bruiser rainbow just wading in a little ways in water shoes!
