Welcome to First Rise, an elevated riverfront retreat with 120 feet of private White River frontage on Wildcat Shoals, one of the river’s premier trout-fishing sections. Fish the White River just steps from the house, or simply settle in and enjoy the river from your own private stretch of shoreline.
Named for the first trout to break the water’s surface each morning, First Rise offers expansive riverfront decks and a waterside fire pit—the perfect setting to watch trout rise, bald eagles soar, and morning fog drift across the Ozarks.


Plenty of Room to Gather and Spread Out.
With approximately 3,300 square feet across three levels, First Rise comfortably accommodates up to 12 guests with four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, two kitchens, multiple living areas, and a loft.

Everything You Came to the White River For
Spend mornings fishing Wildcat Shoals, afternoons relaxing on the riverfront decks, and evenings grilling dinner or gathering around the waterside fire pit.
First Rise is set up for days on the river with direct river access and the Wildcat Shoals boat launch about a mile away. Local fishing guides and boat rentals are also nearby.
Back at the house, enjoy two full kitchens, multiple living areas, high-speed Starlink Wi-Fi, laundry, individual climate control on every level, and ample parking—everything your group needs to settle in and stay awhile.
