Cotter Trout Lodge

Imagine searching Google for a place to stay in the mountains of Northern Arkansas. In your search you find this simple lodge by the River. This lodge has a cabin style with simple rooms with a hiking trail right next to the lodge. Next to lodge is a beautiful historical bridge with a two cafes next the lodge. Plus everything is in walking distance from the lodge. You can find the park, farmer market, trout shop, gift shop, and look out trails by the river. The staff is very friend and have great service for anything you for your room. I highly recommend this place

Exceptionally clean room ,tile floor throughout , spotless. Coffee maker full sized the supplied coffee was pretty good, the small refrigerator has a separate freezer and fridge. Bed was comfortable, linens clean , decently soft. Towels and wash cloths outstanding. The recliner is surprisingly comfortable. A couple of minor details , the heat/ac unit is a little loud , the volume of air it's blowing not a problem with it, it works great. The TV changed channels with the volume button. Otherwise everything works just fine. I'd stay here again without a second thought.

Charming room in picturesque Cotter AR. The room was very clean, adjacent to the City park which provides excellent access to the river, great parking for trucks/trailers. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back again.

Stay at this place 3 times a year and it gets better every time!! great fishing, great hang out spots, nice cool room and comfy beds, and theyre quiet unlike most hotels bc the brick. super cool time warp feeling coming here to Cotter, gotta try The Sands and get a shirt from Natural State Fly Shop

Affordable, wonderfully quaint, and cozy motel / lodge nestled along the beautiful White River. I've stayed here a few times and this is my go to retreat. The Sands Restaurant is next door, serving up delightful comfort food. Cotter city park and green belt is just a short walk down the hill. This place has much to offer and a hidden gem waiting to be discovered and to be enjoyed by all!

The Trout Lodge is a great place to stay in the heart of the White River area. Rooms are clean and comfortable and the location in the middle of Cotter can’t be beat.

The room was clean, the bed was comfy. Definitely more a guys place as there was space for hanging clothes but no hangers, no hair dryer in the bathroom. Oh! The shower head was not positioned for tall people!!! I would definitely stay there again in spite of those 2 small details. The Cotter bridge was right outside our door. That was awesome. The BEST was the owner made us a huge bonfire for our evening enjoyment.

If you're looking for a hotel in the charming town of Cotter with great views, I would recommend this hotel. The room was very clean and smelled nice. It had a small fridge, microwave and coffee pot. There were plenty of linens and toiletries in the bathroom. I had to call for assistance with the shower and the gentleman I spoke to was very nice and friendly. He went to the room and was very helpful. To operate the shower in that particular room, you have to pull down on the tub spout. That was a new one for me. The only complaint I had is that the parking lot wasn't accessible Sunday or Monday. I totally understand that Arkansas doesn't see a lot of snow but this area was warned for several days that a snow storm was imminent. It would have been nice if the parking lot had been plowed. I marked on a photo about where the room was. So, my daughter had to walk from the road to her room in 8° weather in snow that was about 7" deep. She had to make that walk several times during her three night stay. With all that being said, I would still highly recommend this hotel because not everyone would have to deal with snow and cold weather.
