This place exceeded our expectations. Very comfortable and spacious lodge type setting, with an amazing view of the river. The food was excellent and our fishing trip was perfect. We caught lots of fish and had a great time. We are on our way home now and can’t wait to go back. Moose and Tina, we enjoyed our visit and felt like we were talking to some old friends and hope our paths cross again soon.

This lodge provided the most outstanding experience! Tremendous food, most gracious hosts, and fantastic fishing on The White River with expert guides. No wonder this is an Orvis certified spot, everything is top drawer and beautifully executed. Gorgeous guest suites with beautifully appointed baths made the stay luxurious, the stocked beverage fridge was most welcoming. My husband and I were served wonderfully prepared meals in this fantastic lodge. I asked for some of the recipes, they were “take home” musts. The company of our hosts and other guests made for wonderful conversation and great “fish stories”! We were stunned by the beauty of the area, both on and off the the river. The immediate area was lovely for walking, with abundant wildlife of deer and birds, and the views from the deck were unparalleled. Our fishing guide, Matt, was fantastic at finding the fish and patient as the day is long, besides being a wonderful conversationalist and all around great guy. We highly recommend The White River Inn for fantastic trout fishing and a wonderful getaway!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️…

My wife Cindy and I just returned from a spectacular trip to the White River Inn in Cotter, Arkansas. The gracious owners Moose and Tina Watson welcomed us like family and went out of their way to make sure we had a phenomenal experience. And we did! Their lodge is simply breathtaking. First class, very spacious, beautiful, warm and inviting. This hilltop oasis of grandeur offers stunning views high above the White River, and all of the comforts of home inside. All inclusive means you don't have to worry about a thing when you are guests at the White River Inn! Upon arriving our group of 4 couples settled in to enjoy beer, wine and tasty snacks on huge overstuffed couches in the Great Room, before being called to gather around the stately 12 person dining room table for dinner. The time melted away as we enjoyed delicious 5 star meals every morning and evening around that beautiful table, while basking in the joy of old friendships and new experiences. Moose lined up seasoned guides for our 2 days of fly fishing, and they also treated us like royalty. A cold front and overcast skies resulted in very good but not incredible fishing, but we honestly had so much fun no one cared! I was still happy to land a fat 21" rainbow on a caddis nymph while being guided by Duane Bell just below the Bull Shoals dam. Our CGCG group of life long friends have fly fished in Montana, Utah, New Mexico, Florida, Alaska, the Bahamas and Patagonia, Chile. Moose and Tina Watson and the White River Inn are as good as it gets!…

Booked a trip to fish 3 days there in October. We will never forget the experience - from arrival til departure we had the best time, the best guides, the best food, and the best of Moose and Tina’s hospitality. My wife who has never fished caught trout and loved the guide. Trout Fishing was great fun and the food and fellowship simply outstanding. Moose and Tina run a truly all inclusive luxury lodge with a warm personal touch. We forgot about everything in the world while there and just enjoyed the time. We will go back!
