River Trip
We had a great time at this fantastic house right on the river. When the water is low it offers nice wade fishing and the deck was our favorite spot to enjoy the day.

What a great place!!! It has EVERYTHING!
I could go on for days about the Heron House. Chris & Margo have thought of everything. We have stayed at several houses on the White River and this was the best all around home ever. Afraid you're going to forget something? No need to worry about that here! The Welcome Book was the most comprehensive guide I have ever seen. It detailed where everything in the home was located, local restaurants, fishing guides, and recipes for cooking the fish you catch. I've never seen anything like it! My wife was all about the gift basket and flowers. The pictures of the home don't do it it justice. It's very cozy, nicely equipped, well laid out, etc. We had one whole day we had to stay inside due rain and were quite content in the home all day. It's in close proximity to WalMart if you need anything in a pinch. I almost hate to share that the fishing from the bank was very good when the water conditions were right. We managed to catch several rainbows, browns and even one brookie. Communications with Chris & Margo were very good. They were very responsive when we asked questions and they reached out several times to provide info and ask if we needed anything. I'm only providing this review for Chris & Margo's benefit as they truly deserve it. If not for that, I would be keeping my mouth shut because I'm not gonna want any competition next time I book a trip. All other hosts could learn a lot from Chris & Margo. They really know how to do it right.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would !
Heron House is a fantastic ,peaceful place on the river. The hosts make you feel very welcome by leaving a snack basket, fresh flowers, milk & O.J. in fridge. The house is well stocked and comfortable. The outside porch overlooking the river was my favorite place to hang out as well as the chair in the window looking at the river. We hope to be back soon.

Beautiful home on the amazing white river
The home was perfect, just like my stay! I never had to leave or wanted to! The plan was to rent a boat everyday to fish but i found wading the river from the house was exactly what i neeeded. I definitely would recommend and come back to this property!!

Best VRBO experience ever!
This home was just perfect for our family fishing trip get away! It was even nicer than it looked in the pictures. Despite all of the obvious things, like location, hospitality of our host, well-appointed kitchen and everything else (even a first aid kit), the beds and linens were equal to that of a 5-star hotel. There were plenty of anything you may need. I especially liked the little reading nook that had a corner-window view of the river. The TV is setup so that you can logon with all of your own streaming services and the settings will automatically clear at check out. To join Wi-Fi, you simply scan their QR code. We plan to visit again someday in the future. I see no reason to look for any other place otherwise.

Vacation with my neighbors
We are neighbors in a Seniors Community, and decided to take a vacation together. I have been coming to the White River area yearly for the past 23 years, but this was their first time to experience this wonderful scenery. We couldn't have chosen a better place to stay than The Heron House. The owners went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, the house was clean, comfortable and well stocked with everything. The Snack basket and note was wonderful and so welcoming. We looked forward to counting all the different wildlife and birds every day. Great place and great vacation!!

Heron house is amazing!
The Heron house is in a great location for us because we love to come to the river to catch those trout. It is just a couple of minutes to White Hole access to meet our guides, so it was perfect. Our hosts really took care of us with a gift basket, flowers and many other amenities. It couldn’t have been a better stay. Can’t wait to come back. Thank you so much.

Great trout trip
Fantastic cabin. The owners go over the top to make you feel welcome. I have stayed at many cabins in the area, but never one so stocked with Food , games, utensils, blankets and even a snack filled personalized welcome basket. Beautiful grounds and great river view. I would highly recommend this cabin.

Celebrating Our Anniversary
As other reviews have stated we arrived to find a gift basket and bouquet of flowers. There was also a Happy Anniversary balloon tied to a dining room chair which got our anniversary trip off to a great start. We stayed at Heron House for five days, had everything we needed and felt right at home. The home is comfortable and charming. We got trout right from the back yard, grilled out on the patio every evening and watched the river roll by. Did some sightseeing of the area, Bull Shoals and Norfork Lakes. Took our dog for walks around the beautiful neighborhood every morning. Chris and Margo are great hosts and made our anniversary trip very special. We plan to return.

Perfect vacation home!
We found the house to be so welcoming the moment we arrived! The host had a wonderful basket full of snacks and dog treats for our fur baby and fresh flowers The house was spotless and the host thought of everything just needed your clothes and fishing gear! We caught fish every day from the bank and if you don’t want to cook they had a wonderful book with list of restaurants and stores. Sitting on the deck watching the river and the birds was the best! We saw a eagle drinking and a pileated woodpecker! We are planning on coming back next year if not sooner!

Super White River Property
We vacation in this area every summer and this was the first time staying in a house instead of a resort and it was fantastic! The property had a great bank for fishing the river and was private and peaceful. The house was so clean and comfortable- we felt at home. This was a fantastic rental and the owners were so accommodating. When we entered the house we were greeted with a huge gift basket and flowers! It was so nice! We would highly recommend this property!

Enjoyable Stay
This is a cozy home right on the river. I’ve stayed in a lot of vacation rentals but this one was the most well stocked. Usually there will be enough paper towels, trash bags & toilet paper to get you started but you either need to bring more from home or make a quick trip to the store. This place had everything right there ready & waiting. When we arrived there was a welcome basket - It was like when you used to go to grandmas house & she would give you all the good snacks! And the fresh flowers were a pleasant surprise! There was milk, orange juice & bottled water available for us in the fridge. There was plenty of paper products, soap, dishwashing detergent, aluminum foil, ziploc bags, condiments, seasonings, coffee, etc. They even have 2 coffee makers - both a traditional & a keurig. There are 3 recliners which my guys enjoyed & plenty of hot water & towels. The home was clean & the view was great. The information book was very helpful & communication with the owner was quick & easy. Check in & check out was a breeze too.

This was one of the best properties we have stayed at. They have thought about everything, every touch. Our favorite things were the fact that we didn’t have to worry about coffee and milk for the morning, which I found to always be a challenging when staying at Rental properties. We also loved that they had condiments and a few food items just in case you weren’t able to get to the grocery store. The patio outside over looks the river and they had sunscreen and bug spray available. We fished the river for a day, and we will absolutely come back and stay here. We loved it!

A gift on the White
When booking on line you see pictures and descriptions. You are always a little nervous on what it is really like. Are the pictures staged? Are the descriptions too exaggerated? Does everything work? We were unbelievably impressed. Chris's property was more than we could have imagined. Very clean, very well outfitted, very well kept. Even the book that every place you rent provides defining the rules, Check out tasks/expectations and area attractions was perfectly done and very complete. There was even a little note welcoming us. It was perfect. We have been renting houses around this area for over 12 years, we thought we knew what to expect. I always brought extra items expecting that there would not be something or not much of certain items. This was not the case. This rental far exceeded our expectations. I could have not asked for a more perfect place. Don’t think twice about it.
