The White River Inn

Serene & Beautiful, I highly reccomend this resort to anyone wishing to visit Northwest Arkansas. The atmosphere was elegant and staff graceful & respectful. One of Arkansas hiddent treasures.

Near Cotter, AR the White River Lodge is a Orvis Recognized All-Inclusive Luxury Flyfishing Lodge. Steve & Elizabeth are amazing hosts! Three delicious meals a day, a large welcoming riverview porch for evening happy hours, luxury suites with very comfortable beds. The White River Inn is now my #1 go to luxury flyfishing lodge! #orvis #thewhiteriverinn #flyfishing #browntroutflyfishing #rainbowtroutflyfishing

Took my dad here on a fishing trip this past fall. Best fishing trip of our entire lives.

The Lodge hosts, Steve and his wife were amazing.

Their hospitality was above and beyond and her cooking was phenomenal!

White River Inn was the perfect getaway for our babymoon! The room was perfect and the food made by Elizabeth was incredible!! She even kept everything gluten free for me so I didn’t have to worry about anything. The fishing was so much fun and we caught some huge ones. Would definitely recommend- can’t wait to go back! Thanks to Steven and Elizabeth for a great trip.

Steve and Elisabeth Sonnamaker provided impeccable property management accomidations and services during our stay. Elizabeth provide the best home cooking services, cleaning and friendliness for all the guest. (Steve) provided all the recommended information needed for fishing on the white river and has a broad knowledge of experience in guest services and property management. This lodge Is the best Orvis endorsed properties that My wife and I have ever stayed on since it’s centered around a family oriented atmosphere which preferably accommodates up to 10 people. Also, the lodge has a huge outdoor porch looking over the white river, the rooms are very clean, roomy, quiet and the bath has a large shower and jacuzzi bath.The fishing guide services were top notch guides that has years and years of experience on this river. And most of all, my wife and I caught over 60 fish in one day and stopped counting! This was the greatest experience that my wife and I had ever had! If you were planning a fishing trip or just want to get away and relax, do not hesitate to make a reservation here.

Very upscale!! This is a White River local legend! The mountain styled mini resort is so well appointed and cozy yet the rooms are spacious and have very comfortable matrices along with hot tub access and a huge shower ( party shower). Overlooking the White River from a 300 foot cliff! Straight down. Full fishing guide services. All meals. These items are not the best though. The best amenity is Moose and Tina the owners. They have an uncommon since of what hospitality should be and they live it out every day. I would think this is what hospitality was 200 years ago. Before corporate policy, mission statements, and quarterly reports. I could go on you know!
This is a MUST experience!!

If you are looking for a wonderful Bed & breakfast-you must stay here! Close to the home of the biggest and best trout fishing around, access to the White River is just minutes away! Eagles soaring, deer frolicking and turkeys strutting are just a few treasures you can see from the front yard! The luxurious, rustic rooms will have you sleeping well after a day of hiking, fishing, kayaking or even shopping! Moose and Tina will treat you to only the best and you will leave feeling like family.... This is also a fabulous place for a wedding!! I personally would give this experience 5 stars ++++!

We had the pleasure of staying with Moose and Tina at the White River Inn this June. In short, exceptional. The lodge is first class in every detail, meals outstanding and hospitality by Moose and Tina was amazing - you become part of the family. Fishing not bad either! Highly recommend - we are already planning our return.

Moose and Tina were great. Food was fabulous and plenty. The Inn had spectacular views, very clean, and comfortable. Fished the White River with guides Moose set up. Jason and Andrew had us on fish all day. My boys and I really had an incredible stay. Will be going back.

Beautiful lodge and even better people. Moose and Tina make you feel like family right from the start, and they took excellent care of our group of eight- two sets of grandparents, my husband and I and our children. Excellent place for families - We all had a great stay (And caught a lot of fish!!!)

Fabulous Place-Fabulous Hosts!!! Loved my stay at White River Inn! Moose and Tina wear the crown when comes to hospitality- I felt SO welcome and SO well cared for! The accommodations are the best and the food-delicious! And btw the area is so pretty! Thank-you for a refreshing time surrounded by beauty on all levels <3

No reason to look anywhere else. White River Inn is A+++ We just returned from our annual trip and as always first class. Moose and Tina are like family and the food always GREAT!

What an incredible, remote, WONDERFUL place!! The owners are amazing, and the views and amenities are fantastic. Fishing included in the epic White River. Love Arkansas even more now that I'm getting to experience this!

A little piece of paradise. Lovely, quiet lodge "home" tucked away in the woods high above the White River in Arkansas. Proprietors Steve and Elisabeth Sonnamaker are the perfect innkeepers. Experienced, energetic, friendly and ready to accommodate your every wish with a smile. From lodging to food, linings to furnishings, fishing to conversations, let Steve and Elisabeth cater to your next unwind at The White River Inn. You will love it, we did!
