Following a complete renovation, the hotel now features 12 private bedrooms in a variety of sizes, all available for individual booking—or you can reserve multiple rooms or even the entire hotel for reunions, retreats, and group getaways. Four rooms include private bathrooms, while the others share three full bathrooms upstairs, complemented by two convenient half-baths near the spacious downstairs lounge. Daily housekeeping keeps shared spaces fresh and welcoming, giving guests one less thing to think about during their stay. Step outside and you’re moments from Big Spring Park, the White River, a fly shop, local dining, hiking, fishing, canoeing, and swimming.
Guests enjoy private, keyless entry to their rooms and full access to the hotel’s inviting shared areas, including an enclosed front porch, cozy lounge, outdoor seating, and a backyard firepit perfect for winding down after a day on the river. Whether you’re seeking peaceful solitude, a home base for trout fishing, or a memorable place for family and friends to gather, The Commercial Hotel captures the spirit of Cotter—historic, welcoming, and wonderfully laid-back.
