Cotter Rock Cottage is my second home. When I come to trout fish in Cotter, Arkansas, this cottage is where I want to be for my trip and for the entire Cotter, Arkansas experience. Super clean cottage and extremely comfortable. I'm at ease as soon as I'm inside the door. I love staying at this cottage. All the amenities you want and more. Joey thinks of everything and is super available to help with anything you need and always wants me to have a great stay at the cottage. You will enjoy your stay and your soul will be refreshed.

great remodel

Joey did an excellent job remodeling an older home. It was very well maintained and clean.Plenty of towels and washcloths to use. Which hasn't always been the case with other properties, in my experience.The shower gel and shampoo dispenser was a nice touch as well.I would definitely visit again if I get back to the area.Loved the Patrick McManus book collection as well.

Was not what we were expecting

Lots of beetles inside and outside the residence. Patios were covered in leaves and bugs as well as spider webs. Parking was horrible, with the rain we got stuck trying to get out. Very old furniture and very uncomfortable beds. Loud running train all night long every night. Website pictures very deceiving, residence was very old. Front steps very steep. Was not satisfied. bedsbeds.

Wonderful Rock Cottage

This morning while packing to leave we said, "We will definitely stay here again." Cottage is so clean! I love the decor. Beds comfortable. The washer/dryer amenity was great! Having TVs in living area and bedrooms was awesome! We personally loved that a train came by house twice a day because we love trains! If you don't want to hear the train, the owner has provided excellent sound reduction extras. Joey is a very kind man. That is a blessung anytime you stay in a vrbo. Highly recommend Cotter Rock Cottage in Cotter, Arkansas, trout capital of US!

Very nice rental!

Very clean, had more than we expected-spices, zip lock bags, deep fryer and grill, high pressure shower with nozzle hose , “outside towels”, games, white noise maker at each bedside, plenty of hangars, to name a few. Decor was outstanding for a fisherman. Very near the White River.

Wonderful home to stay in!

We had the pleasure of staying in this well cared for home. Delightfully decorated and close to so many oudoor activities. Our favorite thing about this home? The relaxing front AND back porches. The host, Joey, made sure to keep in contact which was very much appreciated. Everything we could possibly need was furnished for us. We just brought our clothes and groceries. Would definitely stay here again!
