Guest Reviews

Very clean and well maintained. Nice restaurant next door. Close to swimming hole and fishing dock. Owners also nice to deal with.- Justin S.

This place is adorable, clean, and inexpensive. Miss Caroline up front was one of the nicest women I have ever met and made our stay here AMAZING! ❤️ WOULD RECOMMEND, WILL RETURN!- Megan L.

The ladies at the lodge are exceptional at welcoming you and getting you settled. If you are looking for a quaint motel on your fishing adventure or just a stay over while traveling, I would choose Cotter Trout Lodge. You will definitely find it relaxing and the town has several sites to visit. The bridge and river are a must see!- Jana W.

Cotter Trout Lodge exceeded my expectations. Myself and my 3 children rented their family room with 3 beds and a large couch. The room had lots of space for us to spread out. It was very clean with lots of great toiletry items in the bathroom. Staff was very friendly. I would gladly stay again.- Heidi L.

Love this place! It's immediately adjacent to the White River & the historic Cotter Bridge. The owners are really great people. They have grills & a fire pit set up to enjoy your fishing catch in the evening. The rooms are clean. The place is decorated as a fishing lodge because that's exactly what it is. I stay there every year.- Jeanette H.
