Newly updated and meticulously maintained with your own private boat ramp! This home is elegant, comfortable, and the perfect place to get away...with large windows, high ceilings and alluring finishes. While staying here you can toss in your fishing line, launch your raft, kayak, SUP, or duckie, gather at the fire pit next to the river, or simply lounge in the hot tub (seats 4-6) or dry sauna (seats 2). The stargazing is not to be missed!
This property is the embodiment of a riverfront home and can be enjoyed by all!! Gorgeous mountain and river views from all bedrooms.

Cozy up to the fireplace in the living room or watch the 80” smart TV. Sonos sound system can play in most rooms. Each bedroom has its own door outside to 360 degree second floor deck, which can be gated to keep dogs/children from leaving the porch. The porch overlooking the river has a gas grill, outdoor dining set, and outdoor sofa/lounge area with a chair swing. Additionally, the main floor has:

Paradise - oh the back yard! Private boat ramp!! So many places to relax and enjoy. Sit near the river and read a book, hang in the hammocks for a little nap, soak in the hot tub overlooking the river, or cozy up near the fire pit and roast some marshmallows. Kids ground area with pay set and sand.
DO NOT leave children unattended in the backyard. There are no barriers or fencing to avoid any accidental falls into the Arkansas river. PFDs are strongly recommended for anyone (people or pets) entering the river. The river runs fast, especially during spring run off. The boat ramp leads into a small eddy, but otherwise the river flows quickly past the property.
River access and parking-
There is plenty of parking for you and your guests. (4 vehicles)
You will have access to the south garage bay to store anything you may need (or park a compact car/Jeep).
This part of the Arkansas river is what is called “milk run” and is usually very mild both upstream and downstream. For beginners, the milk run is ideal with a put in north at Johnson’s Village, giving a 1.5-2 hour leisurely float. Rafts can be rented in Buena Vista or Johnson’s Village (seasonal).
Another fun run...launch from the property and raft south to Ruby Mountain campground.
(an easy 1 hour or less trip).
For more serious white water fun, River Runners (seasonal) is located across the street. They will provide rafts with guides for half day and full day trips into the breathtaking vistas of Brown’s Canyon National Monument and further south to the cute little town of Salida. If you want to book with River Runners inquire about a discount.
**Please note there is a nest ring doorbell camera at the door next to the kitchen. It’s currently hooked up to ring and not record.**
