Top James A. Gaston Visitor Center Hotel Reviews

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!"

"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."

"Nice clean well maintained property"

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

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great property! It’s sits right on the White River. It is Extremely quiet and lots of wildlife/birds to see. It is very private. The side of the cabin that the door and deck are on faces a small garage and an area that’s totally private with a hammock and fire pit. It is clean. Sitting on the porch watching the water and the birds (blue Herron among many others) was fabulous. We fished every day. We did a guided fishing trip one day and learned that where the cabin is located is actually the perfect place to fish (fly or spin cast) for trout, called “the narrows” . Bring your waders. The kitchen has everything you need to cook. There is a gas grill on the deck. The windows inside the cabin were such that when you’re sitting on the couch you can see the river, so it was super neat to always have a view of the river. It was very hot while we were there and the a/c worked great. We had a wonderful time!! Super great find! Check in/out was super easy. The hosts were available to ask questions by text and were responsive. Would definitely go again."

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"
