Thoroughly enjoyed our time here! Beautiful view of the Arkansas River and rafters/kayakers. Spent most of our time in the Adirondack chairs by the river relaxing and enjoying a fire in the evening. Beds were all very comfortable and property has been nicely updated. Great view from the dining room. Kitchen is well appointed. Responsive hosts. Would love to go back again!

Great location

We enjoyed our stay. The house was well equipped and very comfortable. The location by the river was unbeatable. We, understandably, didn’t spend a bunch of time inside but it was a great place to come back to when our adventures were over for the day. We’ll be back.

Wonderful River Vista!

This is the perfect place for 3 couples or a family. The setting is spectacular and the house is perfect. Well equipped with everything you need, very modern on the inside - nicely done. If you like to fish, this is the place! Even if you don’t fish, this is the place!

Family Vacation

Perfect property, perfect location. Hosts were accommodating and helped us with one issue WE encountered with our travel arrangements. Excellently equipped kitchen. Trout fishing right out the back door and loved the 5 minute walk to a river rafting company. On a scale of 10, I give this property and our host an 11.

Loved it

Fantastic house right on the river. Great location for both Buena Vista and Salida. If you like hiking, this house is less than 20 minutes to some beautiful hiking in the Mt Princeton area. The deck was to relax and wave to passing rafters. Would definitely stay there again when I’m back in area.

River fun!

The house was clean and comfortable. More than enough room for three big guys. The fishing was extremely easy and productive (brown trout)! We booked a trip a block away to raft the Arkansas. Very convenient location to town as well.

Great house and location on the river

The house is very well maintained and has everything you need to you need for dining and relaxation. The highlight is the beautiful location on the Arkansas. We spent a lot of time sitting by the river during the day and evening - private and peaceful. The owner is wonderful and made the entire rental process simple. Highly recommended for a stay in the Buena Vista area.
