About this property

On the banks of the White River with beautiful views and the best fishing area

  • Want some of the best fishing on the White River? Rivers Edge is just 200 yards above The Narrows on the White River, and located between Wildcat Shoals and White Hole, and just down the road from Cranor’s Lodge. This is a great location for wade fishing. You can walk down the staircase to the river and wade right in.

    If you're a boat fisherman, the waters behind Rivers Edge are some of the best on the River, and you will see guides fishing this area regularly. If you have your own boat, the Wildcat Shoals public access ramp is just 2 miles away. Guide services can also pick you up right by the staircase for an unforgettable day of fishing. Plus, River's Edge is an easy walking distance to Cranor's Guide Service (just 4 houses away).

    Wake up to coffee on the deck, and enjoy the views of the beautiful White River. Nature is all around, with scenic views of the bluffs directly across the river, and an abundance of wildlife. We've seen eagles right above the deck and flying along the river. From the spacious deck (shady in the afternoon), it's quiet & peaceful and makes for a relaxing get-away. We love our nights relaxing on the deck!

    River's Edge is an upscale getaway that has all the amenities of home, but is so peaceful and relaxing. The minute you walk in the front door, there's a great view of the deck, river, and bluffs directly across the river. There's plenty of room for a family or a weekend with friends. This 1900 sq ft home has an open floor plan with a great layout. The Master BR is on one side of the house, with the other two bedrooms & baths on the opposite side of the house. Enjoy the wood burning fireplace, fully equipped modern kitchen that has everything you'll need, and washer/dryer in the utility room.

    Outside, there's a covered carport for your car & boat, and a fire pit to enjoy. The back deck is huge, with table & chairs that seats 6 , and an extra-large 30" Weber charcoal grill.

    Spend a week or a few days. There is plenty to do on the river, at the lake, or in Branson or other areas. You will definitely enjoy your stay in the beautiful Ozarks, have plenty of fish stories to tell, and will arrive home rested & relaxed.

Spring break fishing trip

Great location and great house! Clean and comfortable. Easy to get to. Short drive to local restaurants and fly shops. Loved being able to walk down the steps to cast a line as well as just sitting on the deck enjoying the tranquility of the river. Hope to make it back there again!

A true piece of paradise

Absolutely stunning location, house as all the amenities and is well layed out to offer space for friends without being in top of one another. A bathroom for every bedroom, spectacular views of the river, local towns close enough for supplies. One of the best rentals we've ever stayed in.

trout fishing vacation

Great location and house right on the river. It was an easy walk to Cranors for 2 days guided fishing. Spectacularly clean house with a well equipped kitchen. We have done hotels and VRBO many times before and this was the best.

PRICELESS VIEW!!!!

This place has everything you need. Lots of room for everyone. We had 6 adults and plenty of space for relaxing. The kitchen has everything you need. The view out of the back of the house is priceless. There were fishermen floating by and they were catching fish. We even fished right out of the back of the house and caught fish. This place is FANTASTIC!!!! We will be coming back.

Pictures don’t do it justice

Our family enjoyed our stay so much! The space was perfect for our needs. The kitchen was great, furniture was all comfy, and the view of the river was stunning. The ease of river access made it possible for our guide to pick up and drop off right at the house. We loved our time here and can’t wait to come back again. And seriously - the house was beautiful and far exceeded our expectations.

Awesome Family Vacation

The house was incredible and the host had great communication with us. The location on the river couldn't be beat for fishing and you were simply minutes from town for supplies, food, etc... Everyone in the family enjoyed the home and we had deer, squirrels, eagles, all kinds of birds, etc... each day to enjoy sitting out on the deck. We also could watch them as well view the river from inside the house out the massive glass on the river side. This was definitely the right choice for my family vacation and we hope to make a return trip in the future to enjoy the fireplace inside and the fire pit outside. Definitely one of the best homes on the river.

Perfect House for White River Getaway!

We have stayed at this property for several years now. It never disappoints! We always have plenty of room. We love the neighborhood as well. Only complaint is that the dishwasher does not work very well. Dishes did not seem very clean and were always wet after running through dishwasher

Beautiful White River Escape

River’s Edge Lodge was wonderful!!! it was extremely comfortable to stay in. Outside the weather was 105° with the heat index… inside the owners had it very cool for us upon arrival. That was so kind! It was easy to access the water from the backyard and we loved wading. The Dam was running lots of water due to the power needed because of the temperature being over 100 each day so we were careful in the water. The beds are very comfortable and we slept like rocks. Wonderful large shower in the Master suite…. Also much appreciated. The kitchen and living areas are large and very comfortable. The owner gave us a recommendation for Cranors guide service just 4 houses away. We used them and caught 58 trout with Dave. We had an absolute blast! This home is also about 6-7 miles from great food and stores for whatever you need. If you’re looking for a great place to stay on the white river, you have found it! Get it now before it is totally booked..

Birds and Fish

My wife and I stayed at Rivers Edge Lodge for 2 weeks and our son was able to join us for 1 week. The main purpose of out stay was fishing as my son and I fished with Cranor's Guide Service 4 different days while there. We caught Brown, Rainbow, Brook and Tiger Trout while fishing with Cranor's Guides. We also caught small Brown, Rainbow and Brook Trout from the shoreline below Rivers Edge. However, I must mention all the various Birds we saw while staying there, which included Bald Eagles, Vultures, Great Blue Heron, Woodpeckers, Blue Jays, Eastern Bluebirds, and many others. So, getting back to our stay, the Lodge was exactly as described in the the listing with a magnificent view of the White River and the bluff across the river from the back deck. The living quarters were nicely furnished and the kitchen had everything we needed for preparing meals. I really liked the overall layout of the bedrooms. This place is extremely quiet and relaxing. We tried to walk the almost 2 mile loop every morning/evening weather permitting and encountered many varieties of wildlife. Overall, I highly recommend this VRBO for a wonderful and relaxing escape. In addition, the local eateries are outstanding. For those that want to catchfish, look no further than booking a guided days fishing with Cranor's Guide Service, just up the river about 4 houses. You wont be disappointed with either. To sum it up in one word, our stay was outstanding.
