Gather on the White River

Family reunions. Church groups. Business retreats. Ember Shoals brings your people together on the White River, in cabins built for connection and days that stretch long.

A river curves through a suburban neighborhood with houses, trees, and green grass on a sunny day with a blue sky and scattered clouds.

Room for Everyone

Our cabins and duplexes sit on the bank of one of the country's finest trout rivers. Spacious duplexes that can easily accommodate large families or a leadership team under one roof. Reserve a few units or take the property. Everyone settles in together, steps from the water, minutes from downtown Cotter.

This is the Trout Capital, U.S.A. Your people will remember it.

Family and friends gather around a backyard fire pit outside a blue house during sunset. A young man with a guitar sits on lawn chairs, a woman and a child sit nearby, and others stand and walk near the fire, smoking, talking, and enjoying the evening.

Room to Gather, Space to Retreat

The cabins and duplexes give every group room to spread out and come back together. Families claim their own space. Teams find a rhythm. Everyone wakes up on the river.

Our duplexes are built for groups. Two connected units, shared porches, and the kind of layout that keeps people close without crowding them.

Meeting Spaces, Indoors and Out

The Guest Lounge

Our indoor lounge seats groups of up to 20. A natural fit for strategy sessions, morning devotionals, planning meetings, or simply a warm place to gather when the work calls for four walls and a whiteboard energy.

Private Riverside Firepits

Gather up to 20 around the fire with the White River as your backdrop. Where the real conversations happen, after the sun drops and the day settles.

An open-air space on the water for shared meals, breakout sessions, or an evening together under the sky.

Packages Crafted for Your Group

Make it more than a stay. We build packages around what your group needs.

Guided Fly Fishing

Four people are on a small fishing boat on a lake with mist rising from the water. The boat is near the shore with trees in the background. One person is standing at the back of the boat, holding a fishing rod, while the others sit or stand nearby.

Our local fishing guides can take your group to the water. Brown trout in the fall. Rainbows year round. Trips for first-timers and seasoned anglers alike.

Catered Group Dinners

People enjoying an outdoor evening gathering with string lights overhead, some sitting at a table with drinks and food, and a woman standing with a glass of wine.

A shared meal brings any group together. We arrange catered dinners on the riverside deck or around the firepits, so no one in your party has to plan, cook, or clean.
