We are happy to bring The Striper Cottage back to life.

Since the early days of the resort, The Striper has been a guest favorite — known for its comfort, and proximity to the heart of the property. After years of hosting anglers, families, and corporate groups, it was time to thoughtfully reimagine the space while preserving everything guests already love about it.

Our team is currently deep into both interior and exterior renovations, focused on creating a cottage that feels elevated, warm, and highly functional for today’s traveler. Every decision, from flooring and cabinetry to lighting, furnishings, and outdoor improvements, is being made with longevity, comfort, and aesthetic cohesion in mind.

The Striper Cottage also marks an exciting step forward for River Ridge Inn. This renovation represents the beginning of a broader evolution across the property, as we thoughtfully update our accommodations to better reflect the experience we aim to provide. The Striper will serve as an early showcase of what guests can expect to see more of in the future — refined spaces, intentional design, and improvements that enhance both comfort and connection to our natural surroundings.

The goal is simple: honor the character of The Striper while delivering a refreshed experience that aligns with the broader vision for River Ridge Inn.

When complete, guests can expect a bright, updated interior, improved gathering spaces, and design elements that reflect the beauty of the Norfork River. Whether you are returning for another fishing trip or visiting for the first time, The Striper is being prepared to offer the kind of stay that feels both familiar and new.

We look forward to welcoming guests back soon and are confident this will be one of the most sought-after cottages on the property in the year ahead.

Stay tuned for progress updates — we cannot wait to share the finished space with you.
