About this property

The Upper Deck on Riverview ~ direct river access

  • Perched above the White River with beautiful views and plenty of privacy, this peaceful 2-bedroom, 2-bath cabin is the perfect place to relax, fish, and enjoy the beauty of the Ozarks. The spacious interior, vaulted ceilings, and thoughtful layout make it feel bright, open, and inviting.



    Wake up to river views from the primary bedroom, enjoy your morning coffee on the covered porch, and spend your evenings around the fire pit after a day of exploring. The cabin comfortably sleeps up to 6 guests and features a fully equipped kitchen, cable TV, Smart TV streaming, Wi-Fi, central heat and air, and a large lawn that gently slopes toward the river where, when water levels allow, you can cast a fishing line right from the property.



    We're happily pet-friendly! The $85 pet fee covers up to 3 dogs.



    Located just minutes from Angler's Restaurant, fishing guides, Blanchard Springs Caverns, horseback riding, North Sylamore Creek, and downtown Mountain View, you'll have easy access to some of the Ozarks' best outdoor adventures. Traveling with a larger group? Rent the neighboring sister cabin, **The Lower Deck**, to stay close together.



    Peaceful river views, great fishing, and all the comforts of home.

Great views! Great area with quick access to everything.

Nice house. Fairly clean (just dog hair here and there, and on some blankets). Great views! Great area with quick access to everything. Definitely check river water level if planning to fish out back.. The water was very low and a good 6ft drop from edge of yard down to river.

River view & location are awesome!

We travel to Mountain View each year and exclusively stay with Ivy Vacations given the service is unmatched. Each property has always been great, and The Upper Deck did not disappoint! My husband and I stayed here for 5 days and it served well for our much needed retreat. We spent most of our time at the house since it was clean, comfortable, spacious and well equipped. The deck was my favorite location to bird watch or just watch the river go by. We definitely recommend the property and would actually love to return for a stay with our daughter.

This property is EXACTLY as pictured!

This property is EXACTLY as pictured! It has a beautiful waterfront view and we were able to fish right off the bank. It is about 18 minutes from Blanchard Springs Caverns and was easy to locate using the directions from the owner. (GPS acted a little weird as they said it would.) We only got to stay a couple nights because of work, but will definitely be back. There are tons of hiking trails as well as horseback riding and zip lining available within a 20 minute drive. I highly recommend this property!

Loved the river. Great home!

Overall the home was very nice, with a great view, water access, and very friendly neighbors. This is a pet friendly home, so if you are allergic to inside animals take this into consideration as there is lingering pet hair. The master bed mattress was very very firm and could be softer, so if you have a bad back make prior arrangements to your stay. Other than the pet hair and firm mattress, overall this home was a nice home in a great location with very friendly neighbors and a great view.
