Idyllic Cotter Escape: Steps to White River!

Reviews

• Cotter stay

  5/5

  Home and property were beautiful, just as displayed in listing. Water release from dam exceeded our expectations which brought our hopes of wade fishing to a halt. Our host Heather was great in helping us navigate the modern amenities of this super home. Hope to return someday

  2/5

  My wife and I stayed with another couple at the house over Memorial Day weekend. The home is well-sized and well-decorated and sits right on the banks of the White River. Overall we enjoyed our stay, though there were some areas of disappointment. As an initial matter, the back porch area was not clean; the furniture was covered in crickets and spiders (webs, eggs, etc.). The outdoor ceiling fan was also not functional, which meant it was uncomfortable to sit out there for any period of time. More significantly, the first morning we awoke to no water. We contacted the property manager, who was responsive and arranged for a plumber. The plumber, however, was unable to correct the issue, and a second call to someone who could investigate the well was required. The issue was ultimately addressed within hours, but the issue compromised our morning plans. Lastly, the four of us ended up getting bitten by what we think are bed bugs, given the location and appearance of the bites. We discovered this after the weekend was over (as is consistent with bed bug bites). I called the property manager to inform her of the issue so that it could be addressed before the next set of guests. Regrettably, she insisted that these were bites from chiggers outside. Having grown up in a rural area, I am familiar with chigger bites and insisted these were not them. She was adamant I was wrong. I was disappointed in her response, particularly given that we were charged the full rate de

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Derrick, the right vacation home is everything, and we're disappointed if this wasn't the one for you. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  The porch can get dirty quickly due to its proximity to the river, but we've addressed this with our cleaning team.
  The ceiling fan has been fixed.
  As for the water issue, our rural location relies on a well, which isn't as reliable as city water, but we're happy our house manager resolved it quickly.
  Bug bites are common in our riverside, rural setting, but we assure you there are no bed bugs. We recommend bringing bug spray for outdoor use. We've also increased our pest control measures to keep the yard more comfortable.
  We do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests.

  Great place and location. House was clean and well taken care of. Water was up so we were not able to fish at the house but if the conditions were right it looked like a great spot.
