About this house rental
Wow! You must see this stunning, riverfront home situated between Bull Shoals Dam and Gaston’s Restaurant to truly appreciate its beauty. Just relax, breathe the fresh air and enjoy the breathtaking view of the cool, crystal-clear waters of the White River where trout fishing is renown. Bank fish from this property or drift fish with a guide for an experience of a lifetime. Fun on Bull Shoals Lake is a short drive away, where you can rent a pontoon, ski or fishing boat; enjoy kayaking or canoeing, hike or bike, all within 10 minutes.
THE PROPERTY
This 3-bedroom home sleeps up to 12. The home’s unique decor features hardwood flooring and several fish and game mounts for the full experience of the rustic Ozarks. With more than an acre of land for children to play, this home is ideal for a family vacation, guy’s fishing trip or even a girlfriends’ getaway. If you love the outdoors, you can bird watch without leaving the property. From the back patio, watch fishermen lazily drift by hoping for that for a tug on their line or relax and play a game of horseshoes to see who’s champion for the day. As nighttime approaches be sure to catch the fog as it rolls in; it’s magnificent, especially by a bonfire making a few s’mores with your crew..
The home has a fully stocked kitchen, dining area that seats 6 and breakfast area that seats 4. Enjoy your morning coffee and view wildlife on the screened porch. A sunroom with a pass-through bar and a bar area with 3 bar stools overlooks the river! A washer and dryer are available, if needed. The master bedroom offers queen-sized bed, private bath, large walk-in closet, TV and stunning views of the river. Bedroom two offers a queen-sized bed and access to hall bath. Bedroom 3 offers 5 full beds, TV and access to the hall bath.
THE LOCATION
The location offers the best of both worlds: Close proximity to the White River and Bull Shoals Lake just minutes away. Bring your lake or river boat to maximize your stay at this riverfront property. Public boat ramps are close by for easy river launching. There are numerous areas suitable for bank and fly fishing. If you prefer the lake, check out one of two local marinas just minutes down the road! Don’t have a lake or river boat? You easily can rent a john boat or canoe/kayak for river fishing or floating. For the lake, rent a ski or bass boat, Jet Ski, or pontoon for the day at Lakeview Marina or Bull Shoals Lake Boat dock.
THINGS TO DO
Need a break from the lake or river be sure to check out Bull Shoals-White River State Park just down the road. The park offers hiking and biking tails, summer interpretive programs for children and adults, camping sites and the James A. Gaston Visitor Center. The center includes info on Bull Shoals Dam, a movie about the White River and museum displays. Bull Shoals Theater of the Arts offers a variety of different entertainment. Bull Shoals Caverns and Mountain Village 1890 is just 10 minutes away. The Twin Lakes Area also has various craft malls and antique stores.
For a quick meal or fine dining, we recommend:
• Gaston’s Restaurant overlooking the White River has a casual atmosphere with hundreds of antiques hanging throughout. The menu is fine dining, and attire is anything from jeans to tuxedos and everything in between. The restaurant is just 2 minutes from this home
• The 178 Club In Bull Shoals offers fine dining or casual dining in the bar area
• Beacon Point in Lakeview has a casual menu, bar and live music
• Bush’s Pizza In Bull Shoals offers pizza, salads and sub sandwiches
• Hank & Kate’s in Bull Shoals is open for breakfast and lunch with great homemade pastries and baked goods

• Laura’s Mexican Kitchen in Bull Shoals has a full array of Mexican food from mild to spicy
(All of the above are within 10 minutes)
• Just Jackie’s is a local favorite on the water if you’re having fun and don’t want to come off the water to eat.

We love Lakeview, Gaston’s, Bull Shoals, the White River, and Bull Shoals Lake. This home, with an amazing view of the White River, is right in the middle of all of it. Gary was a great host and very responsive. All 8 of us enjoyed our fishing and lake weekend. Thank you, Gary!

The home is very clean, well appointed and in a fantastic location. We enjoyed fishing the White River, walking in the neighborhood and near by State park and watching nature from the riverfront porch.

Really enjoyed this property!! Stayed here with a group of friends for our annual fishing trip. It's a nice house in a great location on the river. The fishing was good. Highly recommend this place to anyone with a larger group.

All transitions are very smooth, great responses and Gary is very accommodating! This property is fantastic, either for families or fishing groups. We were a group of six friends that fish, had three boats in tow, plenty of room. Have been coming to white river for just over 21 years and so glad we landed at Garys place. Gorgeous views of the river, fantastic fire pit for those colder evenings or if you just love to burn wood all day like we do, large screened in porch area for all your fishing gear, waders, boots, coolers etc. to stay out of the elements. The interior is very comfortable, the decor is on point especially with the location and the views from inside are panoramic. We look forward to the new addition of a dock, we've been here multiple times and will be returning for sure on future trips!

Too often reviews are only left if a negative experience occurs. We had a great time and can't say anything negative. The entire place and stay were perfect. If you don't have a good time here, you probably won't have a good time anywhere. Highly recommend this VRBO. Thanks for letting us stay!

Great screen porch, no bugs in the house when the porch is screened. Able to use fire pit, make s’mores, the host was very kind, calm and professional. There are some idiots renting houses on the white river, but this place is heavenly , homey, comfy and decorated to the T. I prefer this house over all other houses and cabins on River Road near Gaston’s. Avoid some of the way overpriced homes on vrbo by staying at this place. Book Directly to save even more money. I’ve been tot he white river for over 40 years fishing with Tommy Due, Crazy Mike, Pete Cobb and others. I’ve stayed in almost every house and cabin for rent on the white river… you can’t go wrong here, so very nice and all the screened in and sealed off patio on one side allows AC for half the outside area. Super Duper Nice and Homey. Stay away from other rentals on River Road, they are overpriced and not near as nice!!! I had people in big houses tell me not to use the lights because bugs in get their house, but that’s not a problem at this place. Awesome fishing from bank and across the river.

The property is great for a family get-together. It is spacious and sits along the White River where fishing is accessible. Everyone enjoyed their time there. It is a place where we would go again.

We had several people staying on the property for a fishing trip for the weekend. Everything was clean and perfect for us! We would love to come back!

This was the third time we have stayed at this house and we are making plans to return again in the fall! We have been fishing the White River for over 30 years and have stayed at a myriad of houses and resorts but nothing can hold a candle to this place. Our guides pick us up and drop us off on the river at the bottom of the stairs behind the house. It doesn’t get more convenient than that! The house has every amenity you could ask for and more. The house is impeccably clean and organized. The beds are AMAZINGLY COMFORTABLE!! We hope to continue to stay here twice a year for many years to come!!
Thank you Gary and company!!!

My family loved staying at this gem on the White River. The house is beautiful and decorated appropriately for being a fishing destination. We loved being able to eat meals on the screened in porch to get the flavor of being outside but not deal with bugs. The house also provided easy access to the river. We had stayed at Gaston’s down the road for years but in the future we will definitely look to see if this house is available again.

I usually do not leave a bad review, but this one is needed. Gave management many chances to contact me, maybe this will help for the future people that stay there.
First issue we had is that pool was not heated. Which took over 24 hrs and multiple calls and messages for someone to just answer. Once they answered, took a while to send out a handyman, who once when he came said that he doesn't know anything about the pool. He just wanted to turn up the heat to the pool room, which was locked to the guests. Eventually, we figured out ourselves that they had a bad breaker to the heater and got it fixed, but took over 12 hrs to heat up the pool since heater is super small. Then, they sent out someone our last day to 'fix the pool' even though I told them that we are good with temperature now. That person decided to drain pool and hot tub in the morning before we even went downstairs so another day we couldn't use pool. That is in total able to use less than 2 days out of our 4 days there.
Second, cleaning crew came in the house 15 mins before check out. We were rushed and did not do a final walk through which caused my wife to forget some of her belongings. Once again, I contacted Ben through VRBO messaging and left him a voicemail as well to see if they can mail it or if we can pick it up in about a month we will be in the area again. It has been 10 days, no call no text from Ben or anyone else at the management.
I would not stay here again nor any other property that this management company manages.

The cabin was very clean, plenty of room for our family and loved being right on the river. My dog and I got our feet wet in the river and soaked up the sun while hubby was fishing. The cabin was well stocked with everything you would want on a vacation. We will be back and plan to stay longer next time.

There were just 2 of us but the house is big enough for a family. Lots of space to spread out. Its an older house but the back porch and back deck is all you really need anyway.
5.0
This was our second time to stay at this property and it was as expected, a great stay. I already recommended it to a close friend and they will be staying here next month. If you book a fishing guide they can pick you up in their boat at the property. If you just want to fish from the bank you can do that as well with success.
We will be staying here again.

It’s a super neat home overlooking the river; a patio outback where you can make your meals over the fire or a grill, or just sit and relax and watch the river go by.😊

Loved the layout of the house! Views from the inside and of course the back porch! Loved being able to walk directly down yo the water! The little bar was a nice plus also! Just a short trip to other attractions! We will definitely be returning!

Love this place!! Super clean with EVERYTHING you need for a great stay! We stayed on a 3 day fishing trip and the guide was able to pull directly up to the house to pick us up and drop us off. The beds are great (2 of us have back problems and need relatively strong beds). The kitchen allowed us to cook everything we needed for great meals! We love this place and we’re planning our stay here next year at the same time!!
