Coolwater Retreat ~ on the White River

WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT THIS PROPERTY:
Enjoy riverfront living on the famous White River, known for some of the best trout fishing in the world! This rustic remodel has a bedroom for everyone (6 total) and is minutes from the heart of historic Mountain View, Arkansas. Nearby, you’ll find a neighborhood boat launch, public boat launches, Angler’s White River Resort, Syllamo Mountain Bike Trail, Blanchard Springs Caverns, and the must-see Ozark Folk Center. Although, with our cozy wood stove, outdoor fire pit, and grand nature views...you may not want to leave!


**Please be sure and click through all the photos and read the full description as we think it will answer most questions you have in advance or will need prior to packing up and heading our way. But please, feel free to reach out with any questions. We love them. *Rental Prices are dynamic. This means that the prices vary – determined by software – dependent on area inventory, day of week and time of year. Continue reading at bottom of description for more info.*


PROPERTY LOCATION and ACCESSIBILITY:
Cool Water Neighborhood is a fantastic enclave - end of a paved road and saddled along the river with almost no development on the opposite side of bank. There are full time residents and part-timers. About a mile away are several public boat launches. You are within arm’s reach of Angler's White River Resort (the only restaurant in the county with an alcohol permit -accompanied by great scenic dining. It'll be hopping on the weekends).

A very partial list of things to do: Blanchard Caverns, trout fish on 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 tailwater from two dams and levels fluctuate daily. The bank is sloping and steep at this property, always. There are some nearby places to walk and cast a line or stick a toe in. Anglers' and Jack's Resort rent John boats and trout guide services economically. Boats can take you to confluences of other creeks where you can swim. Really fun!


PETS:
Max 3. We love dogs! And 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!


EXTRAS:
~ We offer free to all our guests an EV charging station. It is a Tesla level 2 and we provide J-1772 adapter for other vehicles. It is located on the historic town square in Mountain View, Arkansas > where you can likely catch some dulcimers in action while waiting on your juice.
~ We also offer kayak and canoe rentals available to peruse after booking
~ Want super stellar wifi speeds? Certain properties offer an add-on satellite dish that can offer speeds up to 300Mps - with unlimited data. Inquire.

Heaven on Earth
The house was absolutely gorgeous, from out side to the inside. The property was great just a breath of fresh air. I had no service but had wifi, so it was just fine for me. Very peaceful, looking at the fog on the water in the am, was breath taking. The only down fall we had with the house, was the huge mountain you had to crawl up to get from water to the house. very dangerous. The owners should really put in some stairs or a dock there. Then the stairs, very steep and tiny. But other then that, it was stocked with plenty of towels for everyone in our party (11). I had contacted Ivy Vacations, about our upstairs tv not working, and just telling them something was broke. Terry was out there immediately. He was AMAZING, he was very knowledgeable about everything in the area. Gave us some great local spots to hit up, and the ins and outs for our vacation. I would definitely be booking with them again next time we travel to Arkansas. Whole Experience was a 10. The few details that were off, didn't break our spirits or our view of the home. I would stay in this house a hundred times more.

The location is fabulous! Right on the banks of the White River. The house needs a little maintenance. The extended yard was a little over-grown, possibly due to heavy rain in recent days. Overall, it is a lovely property and the property manager is wonderful to work with.

Very nice location and beautiful view of the river. We were disappointed the high grass by the river blocked us from fishing and handle on the microwave was broken. We still enjoyed our visit.

Sleeps 12 but living room only seats 5 MAX.
The living room seats 5 MAX! We had a party of 9…so that was a little disappointing/cramped. But we made it work!!!!! Our family had a wonderful time fellowshipping and made wonderful memories. The fishermen were disappointed that the river was difficult to access but once you got by the river, watch for otters, bald eagles and beavers! So cool! The ladies loved the local shopping. And the fire pit was awesome. Beds were comfy, everything was clean and the neighbors were nice. We would definitely come back!

We really enjoyed our visit. The cabin was very nice and had everything we needed. The deck and view of the river was so nice! It was close enough to everything we wanted to do. Blanchard Springs was so beautiful. We wanted to do the Loco Ropes but didn’t realize they closed at 2. We will definitely be back and try to get more activities in. Wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you!
