This was our 21st fishing trip to Cotter and we stayed in the same place as in 2004. It has been completely remodeled and re-appointed. Very nice and fit the 12 of us perfectly.

The Firehouse

The Firehouse has plenty of room for families with kids. There were 9 of us including a 7,4 and 3 year olds. The kitchen was awesome with lots of room to cook. The bedrooms were nice and comfortable. The showers were huge with lots of hot water. The washer and dryer was a bonus. This property was in an excellent location. There are many things to do within walking distance like fishing, walking trails, park for the kids to play and the swimming hole with a swing. There are coffee shops, diners and fly shops. I’ve been coming to this area for the past 17 years and this has been the best location by far. I highly recommend! 5 star rating out of 5!

Family Fun

We go to this area ever year to canoe the Buffalo River. Part of our tradition is eating at Razorback BBQ in Yellville, getting pizza from Nima’s in Gasville and playing in the Spring at Cotter. The Firehouse was conveniently located for all of these!
