Beautiful Home On The White River Next Door to Wildcat Shoals Public Access Ramp

10/10 Excellent

"Good location, and had all the amenities we needed."

Perfect spot for fishing the White River/Small cabin sleeps 2-4/1 Bdrm with loft

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed here multiple times. The cabin os always clean and we'll stocked with everything we need. We love the beautiful view, the privacy of our own deck overlooking the river, the firepit, and the firewood is even provided. We feel so fortunate to have found this amazing cabin. It is just right for us and very conveniently located for us to enjoy the river as well as have grocery stores and shopping not too far away. We will definitely be staying here again."

Ember Shoals Resort | On the White River, Cotter AR

10/10 Excellent

"The cabins at Ember Shoals are brand new and amazing! From quality cookware, plentiful dishes, and luxurious linens, to modern conveniences such as wi-fi, fireplace logs controlled by a wall switch, and a garbage disposal, they are equipped with everything you need! My mother resides in an area nursing home and this was the perfect place for siblings from different states to gather and bring mom in for her birthday. The cabins and RV sites are steps away from the White River’s trout fishing. Sadly, we had no time for that this visit, but we will be back! Thank you!"

Falling Stars at Bull Shoals Lake

10/10 Excellent

"What a great stay! Great property!!!"

Little Blue is 190 FT from river Semi-Private Solar lit Dock&Ramp Wifi Sleeps 8

10/10 Excellent

"Little Blue is a personal favorite of mine, from girls trips to quality time with my husband. With that being said, Katina is amazing! I have never had the experience of having our property manager be so extremely welcoming as I had with Katina! She is doing an amazing job, and I can see there differences from the last time we stayed. Hopefully we will meet again in the near future."

The Commercial Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean well maintained property"

🌊Lakefront Hot Tub🛶Kayaks🔥Firepit🏖️Nature Lovers🦅Peaceful waterfront deck

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful house and great location on the Bull Shoals reservoir! Our host Andy was great through every aspect of the trip from booking through check-in. We had 4 adults use it as a base for fishing and each had their own room. Modern kitchen, great appliances and great beds and bathrooms. It was 97 degrees outside each day but you’d never know with the great AC working! The walk down to the lake was rocky but very do-able and Andy supplied kayaks, paddles, life jackets, inflatables and even an air pump so we could enjoy the lake in the afternoons. A great jumping off point for excursions. Bull Shoals town was small and its economy is still recovering from COVID but they have a Harps grocery and a Casey’s minimart plus some good restaurants. We’d stay here again with no hesitation"

Huge 5/4 with 5 acres. Privacy and the best river access! 3D and Aerial Tour!

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect spot on the river for our group. Very spacious and never felt over crowded. Had everything we needed for the weekend and was very accommodating for fishing. We were able to run back and forth to the house by boat during breakfast/lunch. View from the patio was great. Would highly recommend."
