Coolwater Retreat ~ on the White River
About this house rental
WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT THIS PROPERTY: Enjoy riverfront living on the famous White River, known for some of the best trout fishing in the world! This rustic remodel has a bedroom for everyone (6 total) and is minutes from the heart of historic Mountain View, Arkansas. Nearby, you’ll find a neighborhood boat launch, public boat launches, Angler’s White River Resort, Syllamo Mountain Bike Trail, Blanchard Springs Caverns, and the must-see Ozark Folk Center. Although, with our cozy wood stove, outdoor fire pit, and grand nature views...you may not want to leave! **Please be sure and click through all the photos and read the full description as we think it will answer most questions you have in advance or will need prior to packing up and heading our way. But please, feel free to reach out with any questions. We love them. *Rental Prices are dynamic. This means that the prices vary – determined by software – dependent on area inventory, day of week and time of year. Continue reading at bottom of description for more info.* PROPERTY LOCATION and ACCESSIBILITY: Cool Water Neighborhood is a fantastic enclave - end of a paved road and saddled along the river with almost no development on the opposite side of bank. There are full time residents and part-timers. About a mile away are several public boat launches. You are within arm’s reach of Angler's White River Resort (the only restaurant in the county with an alcohol permit -accompanied by great scenic dining. It'll be hopping on the weekends). A very partial list of things to do: Blanchard Caverns, trout fish on White River, Ozark Folk Center State Park, Loco Ropes treetop adventures. And what we're most famous for, the best folk artist musicians always " picking and grinning" behind the courthouse on fair weather days. ABOUT THE WATER: This river is very cold and swift even in August. (Makes for great cool breezes on summer evenings). It is tailwater from two dams and levels fluctuate daily. The bank is sloping and steep at this property, always. There are some nearby places to walk and cast a line or stick a toe in. Anglers' and Jack's Resort rent John boats and trout guide services economically. Boats can take you to confluences of other creeks where you can swim. Really fun! PETS: Max 3. We love dogs! And they are welcome here for an additional fee of $85 for up to 3 dogs - a flat fee for the duration of your stay. *Heads up: sometimes your fur babies are not included in your quote on certain booking sites! Please send us a message to let us know your pup(s) will be accompanying you during your stay. See further rules in the rental agreement. For example: pets are not allowed on furniture but we provide doggy sheets if it's difficult to keep them off - like ours! EXTRAS: ~ We offer free to all our guests an EV charging station. It is a Tesla level 2 and we provide J-1772 adapter for other vehicles. It is located on the historic town square in Mountain View, Arkansas > where you can likely catch some dulcimers in action while waiting on your juice. ~ We also offer kayak and canoe rentals available to peruse after booking ~ Want super stellar wifi speeds?

This place was amazing for my big family of 8 plus two dogs. Ability to bring my pups was key to vacation. There was plenty of parking for our vehicles our motorcycle trailer and motorcycles. Clear views of the skies and stars were so bright and big. Big plus for families Walmart is literally ten mins from the house. Plus local anglers closer to the house maybe 3 mins away has gas and any last minute I forgots including ice!!! Everyone had a bedroom and a bed. Loved that cell service was spotty so my kids enjoyed more family time. Can’t wait to check out more properties in different parts of Arkansas. My family has fallen in love with Arkansas and we are definitely coming back. Host was responsive even kept phones on after their closing time to ensure me and my family could find it and get in. You’ll feel like you’re going the wrong way once you’ve been driving a bit but follow their direction to the t and you will find it even if it’s pitch black. We loved this place!

The living room seats 5 MAX! We had a party of 9…so that was a little disappointing/cramped. But we made it work!!!!! Our family had a wonderful time fellowshipping and made wonderful memories. The fishermen were disappointed that the river was difficult to access but once you got by the river, watch for otters, bald eagles and beavers! So cool! The ladies loved the local shopping. And the fire pit was awesome. Beds were comfy, everything was clean and the neighbors were nice. We would definitely come back!

Coolwater Retreat is a great house! Enough room for 3 couples, 2 kids, 3 other adults, and 2 dogs! Perhaps our next stay there will not be during a burn ban in our beautiful state and we will be able to utilize the firepit. We had a wonderful weekend on the White River!

Beautiful location on the river. Plenty of rooms for 11 people. We enjoyed relaxing on the back porch watching birds and the boats on the river. There were attractions nearby that we took advantage of. Beautiful crystal clear water for swimming at Blanchard Springs and Rosa Hole. Host were the best. We had a few issues and they took care of them quickly. A pleasure to work with. Would love to be here in the Fall. I bet the hardwoods would be beautiful. From ages 9 to 69, we had a blast. Thank you IvyVacations.

We really enjoyed our visit. The cabin was very nice and had everything we needed. The deck and view of the river was so nice! It was close enough to everything we wanted to do. Blanchard Springs was so beautiful. We wanted to do the Loco Ropes but didn’t realize they closed at 2. We will definitely be back and try to get more activities in. Wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you!
