Peaceful and perfect for families
We came to Flippin to relax, kayak, and do a little fishing. We had 4 adults, a teen, and an 11 yr old. This home was the perfect set up. We had plenty of room to let the kids play around and the adults relax. Sandy was a great host from check-in to check- out. She made sure we had everything we needed, answered questions we had about the river access, and even came out to make sure everything was okay after a storm. We have only good things to say about our stay!

Eclipse Trip
My wife and I along with our 3 kids, my sister, her husband and their 2 kids, and my parents, all met here for a sat-tuesday long weekend with the monday eclipse being the highlight. We wanted somewhere a little off the beaten path and this spot was perfect! Large, clean house, plenty of room to accommodate the 11 of us. So very peaceful and quiet. Beautiful view right on the white river, several bald eagle spotting's every day we were there so bring some binoculars if you have them. Kitchen stocked with all the necessities, a grill out back, cornhole, the girls enjoyed the rock painting garden, firepit was great. Walk in river access was very nice. Love that there was not much else around the property but a short 20-40 min drive to stores if needed and some good hiking. Would recommend the Indian Rock Trail hike, it was about a 45 min drive from the property. Overall, loved the place with plenty of privacy and quiet surroundings. And the eclipse was amazing of course!! Sandy was excellent host and had great communication with anything we needed. Would definitely come back!!

The River Retreat
As last year, the house was perfect for our group. The weather cooperated this year, so we were able to more fully enjoy the property playing Baggo and enjoying the fire pit and smores at night. The river view is spectacular. I could just sit on the deck or gazebo and enjoy the running waters. Excellent VRBO location. Owners have provided everything you could need and are such nice people.

Lovely White River Location
We have a large family and celebrated Thanksgiving on the White this year. We had plenty of room for all. And it was a perfect kitchen (well stocked with pots/utensils) for cooking. We loved being on the river for fishing and exploring and used the fire pit for s'mores! Really great place and host were very helpful.

Comforts of Home
Sandy did a fabulous job giving special attention to details. She welcomed us with a personal tour of the property, she provided a gift basket that had something suitable for all ages and provided fresh vegetables from her garden. There was always something to do, such as, kayaking, fishing, cornhole, painting, sightseeing, and just relaxing on the deck or by the river. It's a beautiful place with very friendly hosts. It's definitely a place we would visit again.

Perfect getaway on the White River with an exceptional view!
If you are looking for a large property directly on the river with walk-in access, this is your place! We had a great time fly fishing, playing games, cooking, using the firepit for hot dogs and s'mores, watching the bald eagles over the river, listening to the shoals, relaxing and spending down time together. Our crew had 6 adults and 3 teens/tweens and we plenty of space. The place was very clean and the owners had great communication. It was also extremely well stocked for cooking, etc. It is a pretty remote location (at least for us city people) but that was fine by us. All the little extras made this place great for a getaway. There is no cell service (at least with AT&T) but there is Wi-Fi.

Excellent Getaway
The property is very well decorated and clean. They thought of everything you could need in the kitchen, from a crock pot, blender, toaster, etc. to plenty of pots and pans, dishes and silverware. Couldn't have felt more like home. The river view is wonderful and if weather had been better for us, lots of fishing to be had. Just an overall excellent location.

An unforgettable memory.
Sandy went above and beyond to make sure our stay was fantastic. We had a small wedding here and it was more magical then we could have imagined. This property was perfect for our wedding, but I would also be perfect for a family reunion, a fishing trip, or just a get away. This property has it all- literally. I would 100% recommend.

Best Family Trip on the River
We took all our kids and grandkids to the white river to celebrate my birthday! The house accommodation were perfect! 3 bathrooms on top floor and one on the bottom all had plenary of towels and wash clothes as well as travel size soap and shampoo!! Very easy check in and check out! Had all the kitchen gadgets and dishes we needed plus a cute set of plastic kid dishes they loved! Big refrigerator held all our meal supplies and we cooked every meal at the house—including grilling the fresh trout we caught off the bank! We enjoyed the fire pit at night and made s’mores! Check out was easy peas-everything back in its place and used towels in the hampers! All our kids loved this place and we want to come back next year! Sandy is a great host!

First class property and hosts!
First class property and hosts! The property is super clean and the hosts have thought of most everything in amenities. Especially love the deck overlooking the river and listening to the Schulz. So bald eagle most every day. Fabulous place to get away with a fairly large family we had 12. The splash pad in Yellville and the big Spring and rope swing in Cotter or terrific for the children. The yard and house were great for games and just being together. Very impressed with this great place to get away. Also had a great trout fishing guide.
