Best of the best!

Me and my buddies have been coming to the White river for many years to trout fish and have stayed in multiple locations with differing accommodations and this is by far the best that we have stayed in yet. You will be hard pressed to find a location that is as well stocked with everything you would need for your stay. We will definitely be using them again on our trip next year as long as we're all able to travel again.

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.
