About this property

White River Trophy Trout Basecamp – Fire Pit, Pet friendly, Sleeps 10, 2 Mi Lake

Cast a line right from your own basecamp — just 2 miles from boat dock access on Norfork Lake & River, and 3 miles to the White River boat dock, home to some of the best trout fishing in the country. This spacious 3BR/2BA sleeps up to 10, sits on a half-acre lot with a 4-car carport plus RV/boat trailer parking, and features a screened deck and fire pit — built for families, fishing trips, and lake weekends.

You'll have the entire home to yourself — 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 3 beds, comfortably sleeping up to 10 guests. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking up the day's catch, and a dedicated workspace makes this an easy fit if you need to extend your trip with a little remote work. Outside, enjoy the fire pit, the screened deck, and plenty of open space for kids and gear.

Location Highlights:
● 2 miles to Norfork Lake & River boat dock access
● 3 miles to White River boat dock — renowned trout fishing, year-round
● Half-acre lot with wrap-around driveway and 2-car carport
● Quarter-acre boat / RV trailer parking area

About the host

Hosted by Scott Lichner

Host profile image
We're Scott and Lynnette, proud single-property owners who believe hospitality means treating every guest like they own the place — because for the duration of your stay, we think you should.
Originally from Colorado, we've been married for 15 years and are parents to three wonderful children and grandparents to five grandchildren. By profession, we're educators — a career that's taught us patience, attentiveness, and a genuine passion for giving back to the people and communities around us. Those same values shape how we host.
Because we own just one property, we're able to give it — and you — our full attention. Our local property manager, Shauna, along with her own maintenance team, is just 15 minutes away — so if anything ever comes up during your stay, help arrives quickly, not after a long wait.
We're grateful for the chance to share our home with you, and we hope it feels like a true home away from home — a place to relax, reconnect, and make memories in the Ozarks.

Why they chose this property

This is the perfect location for family fun or a fisherman’s dream. Located just 2 miles from Lake Norfork, the spillway, Norfork River, and the famous White River. You also have a store just around the corner and 10 minutes to Mountain Home. This central location makes it easy to get where you are going pretty quickly.

What makes this property unique

We're Scott and Lynnette, proud owners of a family-owned and family-controlled property — not part of a big management company. We believe hospitality means treating every guest like they own the place, because for the duration of your stay, we think you should.
Originally from Colorado, we've been married for 15 years and are parents to three wonderful children and grandparents to five grandchildren. By profession, we're educators — a career that's taught us patience, attentiveness, and a genuine passion for giving back to our community. Those same values shape how we host.
The home has been newly renovated, with new flooring and many new appliances and accessories throughout, so you're staying in a fresh, well-maintained space. Our co-host and maintenance team are based just 5 miles away, ready to respond quickly to anything you need during your stay.
We're grateful for the chance to share our home with you, and we hope it feels like a true home away from home — a place to relax, reconnect, and make memories in the Ozarks.
